A demographer wants to measure life expectancy in countries 1 and 2. Let μ1 and μ2 denote the mean life expectancy in countries 1 and 2, respectively. Specify the hypothesis to determine if life expectancy in country 1 is more than 10 years lower than in country 2.

To compare the dry braking distances from 30 to 0 miles per hour for two makes of automobiles, a safety engineer conducts braking tests for 35 models of Make A and 35 models of Make B. The mean braking distance for Make A is 42 feet. Assume the population standard deviation is 4.7 feet. The mean braking distance for Make B is 45 feet. Assume the population standard deviation is 4.4 feet. At a = 0.10, can the engineer support the claim that the mean braking distances are different for the two makes of automobiles? Assume the samples are random and independent, and the populations are normally distributed. Complete parts (a) rari rz (b) Find the critical value(s) and identify the rejection region(s). The critical value(s) is/are (Round to three decimal places as needed. Use a comma to separate answers as needed.)

Before every flight, the pilot must verify that the total weight of the load is less than the maximum allowable load for the aircraft. The aircraft can carry 43 passengers, and a flight has fuel and baggage that allows for a total passenger load of 7,009 lb. The pilot sees that the plane is full and all passengers are men. The aircraft will be overloaded if the mean weight of the passengers is greater than 7,009 lb / 43 =163 lb. What is the probability that the aircraft is overloaded? Should the pilot take any action to correct for an overloaded aircraft? Assume that weights of men are normally distributed with a mean of 182.4 lb and a standard deviation of 38.4.
Low‑density lipoprotein, or LDL, is the main source of cholesterol buildup and blockage in the arteries. This is why LDL is known as "bad cholesterol." LDL is measured in milligrams per deciliter of blood, or mg/dL. In a population of adults at risk for cardiovascular problems, the distribution of LDL levels is normal, with a mean of 123123 mg/dL and a standard deviation of 4141 mg/dL. If an individual's LDL is at least 11 standard deviation or more above the mean, he or she will be monitored carefully by a doctor. What percentage of individuals from this population will have LDL levels 11 or more standard deviations above the mean? Use the 6868–9595–99.799.7 rule. (Enter your exact answer as a whole number.)
Avalanches can be a real problem for travelers in the western United States and Canada. Slab avalanches studied in Canada had an average thickness of u = 67 cm. A sample of 31 avalanches in the U.S. gave a sample mean of = 63.0 cm. It is known that o = 10.3 cm for this type of data. Use a 0.03 level of significance to test the claim that the mean slab thickness of avalanches in the United States is different from that in Canada. Use the P-Value Approach. What is the P-Value for this problem? O 0.0154 0.0150 0.0300 0.0308
Suppose that you wish to estimate the difference between mean pH measurements of rainfalls in two different locations, one in relatively unpolluted area and the other in an area subject to heavy air pollution. You want to be 95% confident that the margin of error for the difference between mean pH of rainfalls in relatively unpolluted area and mean pH of rainfalls in an area subject to heavy air pollution will not exceed 0.1 pH. How many rainfalls (pH measurements) must be included in each sample? Assume that the variance of pH measurements in a relatively unpolluted area is equal to 2 = 20, and the variance of pH measurements in an area subject to heavy pollution is equal to 2 = 0.25, and samples will be of equal size (n = n₂ = n). 2 It is supposed that values of pH in rainfalls are normally distributed in polluted and unpolluted areas. The number of rainfalls (pH measurements) that must be included in each sample is
"Durable press" cotton fabrics are treated to improve their recovery from wrinkles after washing. "Wrinkle recovery angle" measures how well a fabric recovers from wrinkles. Higher is better.

A random survey of 75 death row inmates revealed that the mean length of time on death row is 17.1 years with a standard deviation of 6.5 years. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the population mean time on death row could likely be 15 years or not.
The researcher would like to determine if these data provide convincing evidence that the true mean amount of time volunteers who were given training held their breath is greater than volunteers without training. Let μ1 = the true mean amount of time that volunteers who were given training held their breath and μ2 = the true mean amount of time that volunteers without training held their breath. What are the appropriate hypotheses?
Peak expiratory flow (PEF) is a measure of a patient’s ability to expel air from the lungs. Patients with asthma or other respiratory conditions often have restricted PEF. The mean PEF for children free of asthma is 306. An investigator conducts a study to investigate whether there is a difference in mean PEF in children with chronic bronchitis as compared to those without asthma or other respiratory conditions that often have restricted PEF. Data on PEF are collected and summarized below. Based on the data, is there statistical evidence of a lower mean PEF in children with chronic bronchitis as compared to those without? Run the appropriate test at a = 0.05. Group Number of Children Mean PEF Std Dev PEF Chronic Bronchitis 25 274 59 No Chronic Bronchitis 25 317 73
