A certain type of stainless steel powder is supposed to have a mean particle diameter of 15 μm. A random sample of 89 particles had a mean diameter of 15.2 μm with a standard deviation of 1.8 μm. A test is made of H 0 : μ = 15 versus H 1 : μ ≠ 15. Is the following statement True or False? If the p-value calculated is not a small probability, then it is plausible that the mean particle diameter is 15 μm.

The mean body mass index (BMI) for males in the US (2015) is 28.8 with a standard deviation of 3.8. Suppose we select a SRS of 100 males from the US. a. What is the probability that the mean BMI of the sample is more than 29.5? b. What is the probability that the mean BMI of the sample is between 27 and 29.5?
A company provides a full range of insurance and financial services. Suppose the company reported the results of a survey of 1,045 identity theft victims. The survey shows victims spend an average of 79 hours trying to resolve their cases. If the true average time spent was 79 hours, determine the probability that a test of hypothesis designed to test that the average was less than 83 hours would select the research hypothesis. Use α=0.05 and a standard deviation of 50. The probability that the hypothesis test would select the research hypothesis is
The amounts of nicotine in a certain brand of cigarette are normally distributed with a mean of 0.954 g and a standard deviation of 0.301 g. The company that produces these cigarettes claims that it has now reduced the amount of nicotine. The supporting evidence consists of a sample of 40 cigarettes with a mean nicotine amount of 0.902 g. Assuming that the given mean and standard deviation have NOT changed, find the probability of randomly selecting 40 cigarettes with a mean of 0.902 g or less. P(M < 0.902 g) Enter your answer as a number accurate to 4 decimal places. NOTE: Answers obtained using exact z-scores or z-scores rounded to 3 decimal places are accepted. Based on the result above, ¿is it valid to claim that the amount of nicotine is lower? (Let's use a 5% cut-off for our definition of unusual.) O No. The probability of obtaining this data is high enough to have been a chance occurrence. O Yes. The probability of this data is unlikely to have occurred by chance alone.

The photoresist thickness of wafers in semiconductor manufacturing has a mean of 10.6 micrometers and a standard deviation of 1.3 micrometers. An engineer takes a sample of 50 wafers once a week and calculates the mean thickness of these wafers. If the mean of this sample is either less than 10.41 micrometers or greater than 10.79 micrometers, the engineer will conclude that the machine needs an adjustment. The probability that, based on a sample of 50 wafers, the engineer will conclude that the machine needs an adjustment is: O 0.6970 O 0.1091 O 0.3030 O 0.2522 O 0.1506
