Let x be a random variable that represents the pH of arterial plasma (i.e., acidity of the blood). For healthy adults, the mean of the x distribution is μ = 7.4.1 A new drug for arthritis has been developed. However, it is thought that this drug may change blood pH. A random sample of 31 patients with arthritis took the drug for 3 months. Blood tests showed that x = 8.4 with sample standard deviations 2.5. Use a 5% level of significance to test the claim that the drug has changed (either way) the mean pH level of the blood. USE SALT (a) What is the level of significance?

A company that makes cola drinks states that the mean caffeine content per 12-ounce bottle of cola is 35 milligrams. You want to test this claim. During your tests, you find that a random sample of thirty 12-ounce bottles of cola has a mean caffeine content of 33.4 milligrams. Assume the population is normally distributed and the population standard deviation is 7.4 milligrams. At α=0.09, can you reject the company's claim? Identify Ho and Ha Find the critical values and rejection regions Find standardized test statistic Decide whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis. interpret the decision in the context of the original claim.
Agricultural scientists are testing a new chicken feed to see whether it increases the number of eggs laid. The scientists divided a flock in half and gave half of the chickens the new feed, while the other half were given a regular feed. The eggs laid in a one-year period for a random sample of 10 chickens using the new feed and 10 chickens using the regular feed are recorded. Assume that the population standard deviation of number of eggs laid is 12 eggs per year for both groups and that the number of eggs laid per year is normally distributed. Let the chickens given the new feed be the first sample, and let the chickens given the regular feed be the second sample. The scientists conduct a two-mean hypothesis test at the 0.05 level of significance to test if there is evidence that the new feed increases the number of eggs laid. (a) Which answer choice shows the correct null and alternative hypotheses for this test? Select the correct answer below: H0:μ1=μ2;…
A normally distributed random variable has a mean of 449. If a score of 433 lies two standard deviations below the mean, find the variance of X.
In a test, the average score is 100. You believe that the average score for your class is higher. You took a sample of 30 students. The average score for this group is 140 with a standard deviation of 15. Test the hypothesis that the average score is greater. Use a = .05. The alternative hypothesis is.. O Ha: µ + 100 Ha: µ 100 O Ha: µ = 100
A financial analyst of Woolworths is interested in the average number of months that it takes customers to pay off their account debt. He claims that the average number of months it takes is less than four. He takes a sample of fifty customers and records the number of months it takes each customer to pay off his debt. The sample delivers a mean of 3.0 and a standard deviation of 3.40. Use α=0.01 to test the hypothesis. Suppose the test statistic has a value -2.08. Calculate the p-value for the hypothesis for this given value of the test statistic
A producer advertises that the average shelf life of canned fruit produced by his firm is at least 12 months. The consumer board disagrees, and claims that the average shelf life of the canned fruit is less than 12 months. Consider a random sample of nine cans of fruit with a mean shelf life of 10.6 months and a standard deviation of 2 months. The consumer board’s alternative hypothesis is: A. The average shelf life of canned fruit is 12 months B. The average shelf life of canned fruit is more than 12 months C. The average shelf life of canned fruit is at least 12 months D. The average shelf life of canned fruit is less than 12 months E. None of the preceding
The average score on a statistics test was 2.21 with a standard deviation of 0.88. The teacher suspects that the exam was very difficult; Based on the above, you want to adjust the scores so that the mean is 3.37 and the standard deviation is 0.25. Compute the values a and b such that the fit of type aX+b gives the desired mean and variance? Calculate: a= Answer b= Answer TIP: Use expected value and variance properties.

A large airline company called Fusion Fly monitors customer satisfaction by asking customers to rate their experience as a 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5, where a rating of 1 means "very poor" and 5 means "very good". The customers' ratings have a population mean of μ = 4.29, with a population standard deviation of a = 1.15. Suppose that we will take a random sample of n=7 customers' ratings. Let x represent the sample mean of the 7 customers' ratings. Consider the sampling distribution of the sample mean x. Complete the following. Do not round any intermediate computations. Write your answers with two decimal places, rounding if needed. (a) Find μ- (the mean of the sampling distribution of the sample mean).
