A maple syrup packager conducts some tests of the sugar content of their latest batch of canned maple syrup. A random sample of 10 cans of maple syrup yields a sample standard deviation of 4.8 milligrams. a) Test the claim that the variance equals 18 (milligrams)2 using the 5 percent level of significance. b) Find the p-value for this test.

A random sample of 50 gas stations in Cook County, Illinois, resulted in a mean price per gallon of $2.60 and a standard deviation of $0.07. State the Empirical Rule. A histogram of the data indicates that the data follow a bell-shaped distribution. Use the Empirical Rule to determine the percentage of gas stations that have prices within three standard deviations of the mean. Determine the percentage of gas stations that have prices between $2.46 and $2.74, according to the Empirical Rule. Explain your calculations. Would a gas price of $2.99 be considered unusual in the statistical sense? Why or why not?

A report stated that after obtaining a bachelor's degree, 43% of college students enroll in a graduate degree program. For a random sample of 61 undergraduate students, find the mean, variance and standard deviation for the number of students who will enroll in a graduate degree program after obtaining a bachelor's degree. a.) mean b.) variance c.) standard deviation (round to two decimal places)
Listed below are systolic blood pressure measurements (mm Hg) taken from the right and left arms of the same woman. Assume that the paired sample data is a simple random sample and that the differences have a distribution that is approximately normal. Use a 0.05 significance level to test for a difference between the measurements from the two arms. What can be concluded? Right arm Left arm 150 142 120 131 167 160 179 156 In this example, Hd is the mean value of the differences d for the population of all pairs of data, where each individual difference d is defined as the measurement from the right arm minus the measurement from the left arm. What are the null and alternative hypotheses for the hypothesis test? O A. Ho: Hd = 0 H₁: Hd 0 Since the P-value is than the significance level, the null hypothesis. There sufficient evidence to support the claim of a difference in measurements between the two arms.
