An engineer has designed a valve that will regulate water pressure on an automobile engine. The valve was tested on 100 engines and the mean pressure was 4.9 lbs/square inch. Assume the standard deviation is known to be 0.7. If the valve was designed to produce a mean pressure of 4.7 lbs/square inch, is there sufficient evidence at the 0.02 level that the valve performs above the specifications? State the null and alternative hypotheses for the above scenario.
Overproduction of uric acid in the body can be an indication of cell breakdown. This may be an advance indication of illness such as gout , leukemia or lymphoma. Over a period of months an adult male patient has taken even blood tests for uric acid. The mean concentration was x =5.30mh/dL. The distribution of uric acid in healthy adult males can be assumed to be normal, with standard deviation =1.95mg/dL. Find a 95% confidence interval for the population mean concentration of uric acid in this patients blood What is margin of error? Lower limit? Upper limit? And margin of error?
The mean life expectancy in the US pop. is currently 81.1 years with a standard deviation of 15.9. A researcher examined the age of death of 70 people in Florida hospitals and the mean was 85.2 yrs. He runs a 2tailed test with a=.05 to see if FL has significantly different life expectancy to the overall US pop. Calculate the standard error, z statistic and critical z values from this information.
A simple random sample from a population with a normal distribution of 97 body temperatures has x=98.20°F and s=0.63°F. Construct a 99% confidence interval estimate of the standard deviation of body temperature of all healthy humans.
An engineer has designed a valve that will regulate water pressure on an automobile engine. The valve was tested on 200 engines and the mean pressure was 4.4 lbs/square inch. Assume the standard deviation is known to be 0.9. If the valve was designed to produce a mean pressure of 4.5 lbs/square inch, is there sufficient evidence at the 0.02 level that the valve performs below the specifications? State the null and alternative hypotheses for the above scenario.
If the standard deviation of hole diameter significantly exceeds 0.011 mm, there is an unacceptably high probability that a rivet designed to be placed in the hole will not fit. After drilling 30 of these holes, a sample standard deviation in hole diameter was calculated as 0.012 mm. Construct a 95% interval estimate for the true deviation of the hole diameters and discuss the likelihood of the standard deviation exceeding our target.
You want to estimate the mean weight of quarters in circulation. A sample of 40 quarters has a mean weight of 5.629 grams and a standard deviation of 0.063 gram. Use a single value to estimate the mean weight of all quarters. Also, find the95% confidence interval for the average weight of all quarters. The estimate for the mean weight of all quarters is 5.6295.629 grams. (Round to three decimal places as needed.) Find the 95% confidence interval for the mean weight of all quarters. nothing grams<μ<nothing grams
A simple random sample of 195 males was taken and their birth weights measured. The sample had a mean of 3272.8 g and standard deviation of 660.2 g. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the population mean of birth weights of males is less than 3400 g. Use the p-value method. Include a diagram of the distribution indicating important components of the question.
A car manufacture produces a new car that advertises an average of 30 MPG. The distribution of MPG of cars is normally distributed. The manufacturer will test 30 cars off the assembly line to find a confidence interval of the average MPG of their new vehicle to determine if it is close to 30. The average MPG of the 30 cars is 31.2 gallons with a standard deviation of 2 gallons. Find a 95% confidence interval for the average MPG of the new vehicle. (30.45, 31.95) (30.48, 31.92) O (31.18, 31.22) O The sample size is too small to compute a confidence interval.
A simple random sample from a population with a normal distribution of 106 body temperatures has x=98.50°F and s=0.64°F. Construct a 98% confidence interval estimate of the standard deviation of body temperature of all healthy humans.
An engineer has designed a valve that will regulate water pressure on an automobile engine. The valve was tested on 200engines and the mean pressure was 5.4 pounds/square inch (psi). Assume the population standard deviation is 0.8 If the valve was designed to produce a mean pressure of 5.5psi, is there sufficient evidence at the 0.05 level that the valve does not perform to the specifications?
