A health researcher read that a 200-pound male can burn an average of 524 calories per hour playing tennis. 37 males were randomly selected and the mean number of calories burned per hour playing squash was 534.8 with a standard deviation of 45.9 calories. Do squash players burn more calories per hour than tennis players? Test with alpha = 0.01.

A researcher tests whether listening to music while taking an exam has any effect. The population mean of people taking an exam while not listening to music is 50, with a standard deviation of 12. The researcher tests a sample of 57 people who listen to music while taking an exam and they produce a mean of 54.36. Using a one-tailed test with a p value of .05, the critical value is -1.65 and 1.65. Make a decision about your hypothesis.
A tire manufacturer claims that the mean life of its tire is 75,000 miles. The mean of a sample of 50 tires is 74,200 miles with a standard deviation of 2300 miles. Using an alpha of 5%, does the manufacturer’s claim appear to hold ture? Explain.
Bone mineral density (BMD) is a measure of bone strength. Studies show that BMD declines after age 45. The impact of exercise may increase BMD. A random sample of 59 women between the ages of 41 and 45 with no major health problems were studied. The women were classified into one of two groups based upon their level of exercise activity: walking women and sedentary women. The 39 women who walked regularly had a mean BMD of 5.96 with a standard deviation of 1.22. The 20 women who are sedentary had a mean BMD of 4.41 with a standard deviation of 1.02. Which of the following inference procedures could be used to estimate the difference in the mean BMD for these two types of women
