A college entrance exam company determined that a score of 24 on the mathematics portion of the exam suggests that a student is ready for college-level mathematics. To achieve this goal, the company recommends that students take a core curriculum of math courses in high school. Suppose a random sample of 250 students who completed this core set of courses results in a mean math score of 24.2 on the college entrance exam with a standard deviation of 3.3. Do these results suggest that students who complete the core curriculum are ready for college-level mathematics? That is, are they scoring above 24 on the mathematics portion of the exam? Complete parts a) through d) below. a) State the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses. Fill the correct answers below.

1) A study compared the weight loss of people on a low-fat diet versus people on a low-carb diet. In a sample of 100 obese people on a low-fat diet the sample mean weight loss as 7.6 pounds with a standard deviation of 3.2 pounds. In another sample of 120 obese people on a low-carb diet the sample mean weight loss was 6.7 pounds with a standard deviation of 3.9 pounds. a) Test the hypothesis, at the 5% level of significance, that there is a difference in the mean weight loss of using the 2 different diets. b) What is the p-value?
The Census Bureau reports that 82% of Americans over the age of 25 are high school graduates. A survey of randomly selected residents of certain county included 1250 who were over the age of 25, and 973 of them were high school graduates. (a) Find the mean and standard deviation for the total number of high school graduates in random groups of 1250 Americans who are over the age of 25. b. Is that county result of 973 unusually high, or low, or neither?
A survey found that women's heights are normally distributed with mean 63.6in and standard deviation 2.2 in. A branch of the military requires women's heights to be between 58 in and 80 in. a. Find the percentage of women meeting the height requirement. Are many women being denied the opportunity to join this branch of the military because they are too short or too tall? b. If this branch of the military changes the height requirements so that all women are eligible except the shortest 1% and the tallest 2%, what are the new height requirements? a. The percentage of women who meet the height requirement is nothing%. (Round to two decimal places as needed.)
A marketing researcher wants to estimate the mean amount spent per year ($) on a web site by membership member shoppers. Suppose a random sample of 100 membership member shoppers who recently made a purchase on the web site yielded a mean amount spent of $55 and a standard deviation of $52. Complete parts (a) and (b) below. a. Is there evidence that the population mean amount spent per year on the web site by membership member shoppers is different from $51? (Use a 0.01 level of significance.) State the null and alternative hypotheses. Ho: H (Type integers or decimals. Do not round. Do not include the $ symbol in your answer.) Identify the critical value(s). The critical value(s) is/are (Type an integer or a decimal. Round to two decimal places as needed. Use a comma to separate answers as needed.)

On the PSAT test taken by about 1.5 million high school juniors each year, the mean score on the reading portion of the test was 46.9, with a standard deviation of 10.9. The scores are normally distributed. If a student needed a score on this portion of the test that put them in the top 5% of scores nationally to qualify for a particular scholarship, what is the minimum score they must achieve?
A USA based cable broadband company wants to investigate whether it's east coasts customers have a higher average customer satisfaction score than compared to it's west coast customers. The customer survey asks for a score between 1 and 5, with 1 being poor and 5 being excellent. 174 east coast customers are surveyed, and the sample mean is 3.35 with a sample standard deviation of 0.51. For the west coast, 355 customers are surveyed, and the sample mean is 3.24 with a sample standard deviation of 0.52.
According to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, a healthy adult should obtain at least 7 hours of sleep per night. But is this happening in New York City- aka "the city that never sleeps" ? A study of 28 NYC adults chosen at random found that the sample mean was 6.73 hours and the sample standard deviation was 0.79 hours. Is there statistically significant evidence that NYC adults, on average, sleep less than 7 hours per night? Is the result "practically significant"?
A survey found that women's heights are normally distributed with mean 63.4 in and standard deviation 2.5 in. A branch of the military requires women's heights to be between 58 in and 80 in. a. Find the percentage of women meeting the height requirement. Are many women being denied the opportunity to join this branch of the military because they are too short or too tall? b. If this branch of the military changes the height requirements so that all women are eligible except the shortest 1% and the tallest 2%, what are the new height requirements?

In a sample of 351 gamers between the ages of 16-25, the mean number of hours spent gaming per week was 42.5 hours. In a sample of 269 gamers between the ages of 26-40, the mean number of hours spent gaming per week was 43.8 hours. If the population standard deviation for the mean number of hours spent gaming per week is 9.5 for the age group 16-25 and 10.7 for the age group 26-40, test the claim that gamers between the ages of 16-25 spend less time gaming per week than gamers between the ages of 26-40. Assume α=0.03. Let population 1 be gamers in the age group 16-25 and population 2 be gamers in the age group 26-40. Round the test statistic to two decimal places, and round the p-value to four decimal places. The test statistic is . The p-value is . Should the null hypothesis be rejected?
The ACCUPLACER is a college readiness exam. The scores for the math section are normally distributed with a mean of 75 and standard deviation of 8. A college policy is that the bottom 15% of test takers are required to take a remedial math course over the summer. Students who score below what score will have to take the summer course?
A college admissions officer believes that students enrolling from Shawnee school District have higher SAT scores than those who enroll from West River School District.
