A paint manufacturer advertises that one gallon of its paint will cover 400 square feet of an interior wall. Some local painters suspect the average coverage is considerably less and decide to conduct an experiment to find out. Which of the following are the correct null and alternative hypotheses to be tested?   A construction company has a bid on two large construction projects. The president believes that the chances of winning the first contract is 55% and the chances of winning the second contract is 30% and that winning either contract is independent of winning the other. What are the chances the company will not win either contract?     Spelling mistakes in a text are either “nonword errors” or “word errors.” A nonword error produces a string of letters that is not a word, such as “the” typed as “teh.” Word errors produce the wrong word, such as “loose” typed as “lose.” Nonword errors make up 25% of all errors. A human proofreader will catch 80% of nonword errors and 50% of word errors. What percent of errors will the proofreader catch?
