A machine in a factory must be repaired if it produces more than 10% defectives in a day. A random sample of 100 produced items contains 15 defectives, and the supervisor says that the machine must be repaired. The P-value for the appropriate statistical test to evaluate the supervisor's decision is closest to:

A dietitian wishes to see if a person's cholesterol level will change if the diet is supplemented by a certain mineral. Seven subjects were pretested and then took the mineral supplement for a six-week period. The results are shown below in the table. Use a paired samples t-chart at a = 0.01 significance level to see difference (Before - After) between the cholesterol levels. State the hypotheses and conclusion.

The coach of a very popular men’s basketball team claims that the average distance the fans travel to the campus to watch a game is 35 miles. The team members feel otherwise. A sample of 16 fans who travel to games was randomly selected and yielded a mean of M= 36 miles and s= 5 miles. Test the coach’s claim at the 5% (.05) level of significance. one-tailed or two-tailed test: State the hypotheses: df= tα or t value for the critical region = sM = t (test statistic)= Decision:

A local McDonald's manager will return a shipment of hamburger buns if more than 10% of the buns are crushed. A random sample of 81 buns finds 13 crushed buns. A 5% significance test is conducted to determine if the shipment should be accepted. The p value for this situation is:
Sarah thinks that she has lost interest in online shopping. Based on her shopping history, she can see that her average purchases in the past were about 4 items on average each week. Since this last month, she can now see that she has only purchased 2 items on average each week, (with a SD of 1). To determine whether her shopping habits have changed, what statistical test should be used here?

Previously, an organization reported that teenagers spend 12.5 hours per week, on average, on the phone. The organization thinks that, currently, the mean is lower. Twenty-three randomly chosen teenagers were asked how many hours per week they spend on the phone, with the following results (in hours): 10.4, 10.4, 17.3, 11.2, 10, 15.2, 9.5, 5.8, 12.5, 11.8, 7.3, 10.6, 11.5, 16.2, 16.5, 14.3, 12.3, 9.9, 13.7, 8.6, 11.3, 13, 16.5 Perform a hypothesis test using a 10% level of significance.
