A manufacturer claims that a new snowmaking machine can save money for ski resort owners. He states for a sample of 10 tons, the cost of making a ton of snow was $2.25. The average of the old machine was $2.62. The standard deviation of the sample was $1.05. At a= 0.10, does the new machine save money?

Almost everyone who regularly drives his or her car in a large North American City agrees that traffic is getting worse. A randomly selected sample of 100 cars had their speeds measured on a freeway during rush hour. The sample mean is 17.2 mph (miles per hour). Traffic engineers determined that two years ago the mean and standard deviation of speeds on the same freeway during rush hour were 18.6 and 6.2 mph, respectively. Q6. Find the p-value of the test to determine how much evidence exists to support the generally held belief that traffic is getting worse. (Assume that the standard deviation of speeds today is unchanged from that of two years ago)
Use z-scores to make the following comparison between students. a. Claudia has a score of 61. Her class had a mean score of 74 and a standard deviation of 4 . Convert Claudia's score to a z- score. b. Isabella has a score of 79. Her class had a mean test score of 82 and a standard deviation of 2. Convert Isabella’s score to a z-score. c. Based on the z-scores, which student did better on their test compared to their class (“had a better relative position”)?
