A physician claims that joggers’ maximal volume oxygen uptake is greater than the average of all adults. A sample of 17 joggers has a mean of 41.52 milliliters per kilogram and a variance of 5.17 ml/kg. If the average of all adults is 36.7 ml/kg, compute the test value needed to verify the hypothesis. Round-off your answer to two decimal places.

An engineer wants to know if producing metal bars using a new experimental treatment rather than the conventional treatment makes a difference in the tensile strength of the bars (the ability to resist tearing when pulled lengthwise). At a = 0.20, answer. Assume the population variances are equal and the samples are random. If convenient, use technology to solve the problem.

"Durable press" cotton fabrics are treated to improve their recovery from wrinkles after washing. "Wrinkle recovery angle" measures how well a fabric recovers from wrinkles. Higher is better. Here are data on the wrinkle recovery angle (in degrees) for two types of treated fabrics: Permafresh Hylite 14 20 11 17 12 15 10 14 16 18 A manufacturer wants to know how large is the difference in mean wrinkle recovery angle. Give a 95% confidence interval for the difference in mean wrinkle recovery angle: [three decimal accuracy] [three decimal accuracy]
Our environment is very sensitive to the amount of ozone in the upper atmosphere. The level of ozone normally found is 7.9 parts/million (ppm). A researcher believes that the current ozone level is at an excess level. The mean of 24 samples is 8.1 ppm with a variance of 0.25. Does the data support the claim at the 0.1 level? Assume the population distribution is approximately normal. Step 5 of 5: Make the decision to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis.

Our environment is very sensitive to the amount of ozone in the upper atmosphere. The level of ozone normally found is 7.97.9 parts/million (ppm). A researcher believes that the current ozone level is at an excess level. The mean of 2424 samples is 8.18.1 ppm with a variance of 0.250.25. Does the data support the claim at the 0.10.1 level? Assume the population distribution is approximately normal. Step 2 of 5: Find the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to three decimal places.
The director of research and development is testing a new drug. She wants to know if there is evidence at the 0.02 level that the drug stays in the system for more than 312 minutes. For a sample of 69 patients, the mean time the drug stayed in the system was 319 minutes. Assume the variance is known to be 400. Step 2 of 5 : Enter the value of the z test statistic. Round your answer to two decimal places.
A manufacturer of exercise equipment wanted to collect data on the effectiveness of their equipment. A magazine article compared how long it would take men and women to burn 200 calories during light or heavy workouts on various kinds of exercise equipment. The results summarized in the accompanying table are the average times for a group of physically active young men and women whose performances were measured on a representative sample of exercise equipment. Assume normality of the population. Complete parts (a) through (c) below. Click the icon to view the data table. C a) On average, how many minutes longer than a man must a woman exercise at a light exertion rate in order to burn 200 calories? Find a 95% confidence interval. minutes (Round to one decimal place as needed.) b) Estimate the average number of minutes longer a woman must work out at a light exertion than at heavy exertion to get the same benefit. Find a 95% confidence interval. (₁) minutes (Round to one decimal place…
