A manufacturer of automobile products has developed a new wax and is interested in comparing the new wax with their standard wax to determine if the new wax will protect a car for a longer period of time. In order to make a comparison, both waxes are applied to five new cars respectively and exposed to the same environmental conditions. The results of the test are:

Roy ‘s Texaco wants to keep the price of its unleaded gasoline competitive with that of other stations in the area. Roy’s is currently charging $1.29 per gallon. To check that the average price for this gasoline for all stations within a 15 mile radius is higher than his price, Roy randomly samples the price of unleaded gasoline at ten stations located in this area. He obtains the following data for the price per gallon (in dollars): 1.7, 1.5, 2.6, 2.2, 2.4, 2.3, 2.6, 3.0, 1.4, 2.3 Set up the appropriate hypotheses and test them using a significance level of α= .05

In a science fair project, Emily conducted an experiment in which she tested professional touch therapists to see if they could sense her energy field. She flipped a coin to select either her right hand or her left hand, and then she asked the therapists to identify the selected hand by placing their hand just under Emily's hand without seeing it and without touching it. Among 356 trials, the touch therapists were correct 167 times. Complete parts (a) through (d). a. Given that Emily used a coin toss to select either her right hand or her left hand, what proportion of correct responses would be expected if the touch therapists made random guesses? (Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.)

Thomas wants to compare the mean concentration of carbon monoxide (CO) on residential versus commercial streets, since these differ in terms of car traffic. In each of three neighborhoods of Montréal (named A, B, and C below), he randomly chooses four locations for each type of street, for a total of 24 observations (2 street types x 3 neighborhoods x 4 locations). At each location, he measures CO concentration in the air over a period of 10 hours (8:00 AM-6:00 PM), and obtains the following data (in ppm/h). Question: Test whether or not the difference between residential and commercial streets in mean atmospheric CO concentration is the same among the three neighborhoods, and whether or not CO concentration in the air is the same, on average, for the two types of streets. Note that Neighborhood is considered a random block factor in the ANOVA. Use significant level= 0.05.
A series of tests of fire prevention sprinkler systems that use a foaming agent to quell the fire were performed to determine how long it took (in seconds) for the sprinklers to be activated after the detection of a fire by the system. The system has been designed so that the true average activation time is supposed to be at most 25 seconds. Do the data strongly indicate that the design specifications have not been met? The data for the test are given below: 27 41 22 27 23 35 30 33 24 27 28 22 24

To illustrate the effects of driving under the influence (DUI) of alcohol, a police officer brought a DUI simulator to a local high school. Student reaction time in an emergency was measured with unimpaired vision and also while wearing a pair of special goggles to simulate the effects of alcohol on vision. For a random sample of nine teenagers, the time (in seconds) required to bring the vehicle to a stop from a speed of 60 miles per hour was recorded. Complete parts (a) and (b). Note: A normal probability plot and boxplot of the data indicate that the differences are approximately normally distributed with no outliers. Click the icon to view the data table. (a) Whether the student had unimpaired vision or wore goggles first was randomly selected. Why is this a good idea in designing the experiment? A. This is a good idea in designing the experiment because it controls for any "learning" that may occur in using the simulator. B. This is a good idea in designing the experiment because…
An automobile dealer conducted a test to determine if the time in minutes needed to complete a minor engine tune-up depends on whether a computerized engine analyzer or an electronic analyzer is used. Because tune-up time varies among compact, intermediate, and full-sized cars, the three types of cars were used as blocks in the experiment. The data obtained follow.
