A certain printing press is known to turn out an average of 45 copies a minute. In an attempt to increase its output, an alteration is made to the machine, and then in 3 short test runs it turns out 46, 47, and 48 copies a minute. Is this increase statically significant, or is it likely to be simply the result of chance of variation? Use a significance level of 0.05

The average triglyceride level of adult males is 126 milligrams per deciliter. You want to determine whether the true mean male triglyceride level is more than the average. You decide to pull a random sample of eight adult males and measure their triglyceride level. You find the sample mean is 127.9 milligrams per deciliter and the standard deviation is 4.12 milligrams per deciliter. What are the test statistic and the p-value? O The test statistic is 1.9 and the p-value is 0.1174. O The test statistic is 0.1174 and the p-value is 1.9. O The test statistic is 1.46 and the p-value is 1.30. O The test statistic is 0.1174 and the p-value is 1.30. O The test statistic is 1.30 and the p-value is 0.1167.

Raul received a score of 77 on a history test for which the class mean was 70 with a standard deviation of 9. He received a score of 75 on a biology test for which the class mean was 70 with standard deviation 4. On which test did he do better relative to the rest of the class
Pyramid Lake is on the Paiute Indian Reservation in Nevada. The lake is famous for cutthroat trout. Suppose a friend tells you that the average length of trout caught in Pyramid Lake is ? = 19 inches. However, a survey reported that of a random sample of 46 fish caught, the mean length was x = 18.4 inches, with estimated standard deviation s = 2.7 inches. Do these data indicate that the average length of a trout caught in Pyramid Lake is less than ? = 19 inches? Use ? = 0.05. Solve the problem using the critical region method of testing (i.e., traditional method). (Round the your answers to three decimal places.) test statistic = critical value = State your conclusion in the context of the application. Reject the null hypothesis, there is sufficient evidence that the average fish length is less than 19 inches.Reject the null hypothesis, there is insufficient evidence that the average fish length is less than 19 inches. Fail to reject the null hypothesis, there is…
Pyramid Lake is on the Paiute Indian Reservation in Nevada. The lake is famous for cutthroat trout. Suppose a friend tells you that the average length of trout caught in Pyramid Lake is ? = 19 inches. However, a survey reported that of a random sample of 51 fish caught, the mean length was x = 18.6 inches, with estimated standard deviation s = 3.1 inches. Do these data indicate that the average length of a trout caught in Pyramid Lake is less than ? = 19 inches? Use ? = 0.05. a) Estimate the P-value. select one:P-value > 0.0100.0010 < P-value < 0.010 0.250 < P-value < 0.00100.125 < P-value < 0.250P-value < 0.125 b) Sketch the sampling distribution and show the area corresponding to the P-value. c) will you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis?

Pyramid Lake is on the Paiute Indian Reservation in Nevada. The lake is famous for cutthroat trout. Suppose a friend tells you that the average length of trout caught in Pyramid Lake is ? = 19 inches. However, a survey reported that of a random sample of 51 fish caught, the mean length was x = 18.6 inches, with estimated standard deviation s = 3.5 inches. Do these data indicate that the average length of a trout caught in Pyramid Lake is less than ? = 19 inches? Use ? = 0.05.
