A 'Health-Watch' group claims that a cigarette manufacturer's advertisement that its new low- tar cigarette "contains on average at most 3 milligrams of tar per cigarette" is misleading. The group believes that the level of tar per cigarette is higher. A careful analysis of a random sample of 25 cigarettes by the group yields an average of 3.19 milligrams of tar per cigarette, with a sample standard deviation of 0.39 milligrams. Assume the distribution of tar content in milligrams per cigarette is normal. What is the associated p-value of the test statistic for testing the group's claim?

An automobile manufacturer has given its van a 53.1 miles/gallon (MPG) rating. An independent testing firm has been contracted to test the actual MPG for this van since it is believed that the van performs under the manufacturer's MPG rating. After testing 200 vans, they found a mean MPG of 52.9. Assume the population standard deviation is known to be 1.6. Is there sufficient evidence at the 0.05 level to support the testing firm's claim? Step 1 of 6 : State the null and alternative hypotheses.
A student at a four-year college claims that mean enrollment at four-year colleges is higher than at two-year colleges in the United States. Two surveys are conducted. Of the 35 four-year colleges surveyed, the mean enrollment was 5,466 with a standard deviation of 8,191. Of the 35 two-year colleges surveyed, the mean enrollment was 5,068 with a standard deviation of 4,777. Test the student's claim at the 0.10 significance level.a) The null and alternative hypothesis would be: H0:μF=μTH1:μF<μT H0:pF=pTH1:pF>pT H0:pF=pTH1:pF≠pT H0:pF=pTH1:pF<pT H0:μF=μTH1:μF>μT H0:μF=μTH1:μF≠μT b) Determine the test statistic.

An automobile manufacturer has given its van a 36.8 miles/gallon (MPG) rating. An independent testing firm has been contracted to test the actual MPG for this van since it is believed that the van has an incorrect manufacturer's MPG rating. After testing 160 vans, they found a mean MPG of 37.0. Assume the population standard deviation is known to be 1.5. Is there sufficient evidence at the 0.0 level to support the testing firm's claim? Step 4 of 6 : Find the P-value of the test statistic. Round your answer to four decimal places.

A marine biologist claims that a harbor seal's average dive time is at least 5.8 minutes. A random sample of 35 dive durations has a mean of 4.9 minutes and a standard deviation of 1.8 minutes. Is there enough evidence to reject the claim at a = 0.01?
A recent television news station reports that the average Body Mass Index (BMI) (a measure of a person’s body composition) for males is 10kg/m2. A local university believes that this is unusually low and suspects that males are actually higher than their claim. They conduct a study with 20 undergraduate males randomly selected from their campus. A sample mean of 16.5kg/m2 with a standard deviation of 3.2kg/m2 was obtained. Using an alpha of.05 is there enough evidence to warrant rejection of the news station’s claim of 10kg/m2?? a. Write your hypotheses for this scenario. b. Is this a one tailed or two tailed test? i. Why? c. What statistical test would be used for this scenario? i. Explain why.
An educator claims that the average salary of substitute teachers in school districts in Allegheny County, PA is less than $60 per day. A random sample of eight school districts is selected, and the daily average salary (in dollars) is $58.88 with a sample standard deviation of $5.08. Set alpha = 0.10 for this test. Is there enough evidence to support the educator’s claim?
Systolic blood pressure levels above 120 mm Hg are considered to be high. For the 100 systolic blood pressure levels listed in the accompanying data set, the mean is 128.86000 mm Hg and the standard deviation is 15.28254 mm Hg. Assume that a simple random sample has been selected. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the sample is from a population with a mean greater than 120 mm Hg.LOADING...
