A power supply company states that it has a target power supply of 119 volts. A researcher wants to test the company's claim so she collected data from 30 random family homes and calculated the following sample statistics: = 118.89 volts, s = 0.35 volts. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the mean power supply is 119 volts. Show all of vour work.

To compare the dry braking distances from 30 to 0 miles per hour for two makes of automobiles, a safety engineer conducts braking tests for 35 models of Make A and 35 models of Make B. The mean braking distance for Make A is 42 feet. Assume the population standard deviation is 4.7 feet. The mean braking distance for Make B is 45 feet. Assume the population standard deviation is 4.4 feet. At a = 0.10, can the engineer support the claim that the mean braking distances are different for the two makes of automobiles? Assume the samples are random and independent, and the populations are normally distributed. Complete parts (a) rari rz (b) Find the critical value(s) and identify the rejection region(s). The critical value(s) is/are (Round to three decimal places as needed. Use a comma to separate answers as needed.)
The chocolate chip cookies that are produced at Perry’s Cookie Emporium have weights which are approximately normally distributed with the mean weight 180 grams and with standard deviations 20 grams. The cookies, however, are sold by count, not by weight. Perry wants to improve his image, so he decides to set aside lightest 20% of the cookies to be packaged and sold separately. What cookie weight will divide the lightest 20% from the heaviest 80%?
LSU's Ag. Center wants to determine whether the mean yield for sugarcane is different this year compared to the historical avg of 8,700 lbs of sugar per acre. Thus, the null and alternative hypotheses are Ho: mu = 8,700 Ha: mu is not = to 8,700 You set out to conduct a hypothesis test at the 95% level. Mean yields are distributed Normally. You take a sample of 100 different acres. From this sample, you calculate a mean yield of 8,853 and a std deviation of 1,150. What is the test statistic for this hypothesis test? (To two decimal places. ex: 1.23)
A physical therapist wanted to know whether the mean step pulse of men was less than the mean step pulse of women. She randomly selected 54 men and 75 women to participate in the study. Each subject was required to step up and down a 6-inch platform. The pulse of each subject was then recorded. The following results were obtained.

Assume that the heights of women are normally distributed with a mean of 62.4 inches and a standard deviation of 1.6 inches. Find Q3 the third quartile that separates the bottom 75% from the top 25%
A researcher hypothesizes that different colors of cars result in different average speeds. To test this claim, she took a random sample of 20 people who own 4 different colors of colors of cars (n = 20, N = 80, G = 4), and she then tracks their average speed on the highway for a week of driving. The following ANOVA table has some of her results. Please help her answer her research questions by completing the following ANOVA table below and answering the follow-up questions. Be sure to label your answers with the appropriate letter and show all your work!

This question applies to the next 3 MCQs. Wire wound resistors are being custom made for a Design House with a maximum specification of 305.70 ohms and a minimum specification of 304.55 ohms. If the resistance is higher it can be reworked, if lower they must be scrapped. The resistors manufactured follow a normal distribution with a mean of 305.2 ohms and a standard deviation of 0.25 ohms. What percentage of the resistors are scrap (approximately)? 5% 2% 0.1% 0.5% 1%
An environmental group conducted a study to determine whether crows in a certain region were ingesting food containing unhealthy levels of lead. A biologist classified lead levels greater than 6.0 parts per million (ppm) as unhealthy and that the distribution of the population of crows was Normally distributed. The lead levels of a random sample of 23 crows in the region were measured and recorded. The mean lead level of the 23 crows in the sample was 4.90 ppm and the standard deviation was 1.12 ppm. B.A previous study of crows showed that the population standard deviation was at 2.6 ppm. What minimum sample size would be required to construct a 90 percent confidence interval to have a margin of error within 0.03?
The director of research and development is testing a new medicine. She wants to know if there is evidence at the 0.02 level that the medicine relieves pain in more than 346 seconds.

According to previous studies, the mean distance each visitor in Greenspan National Park hikes during their visit is 30 kilometers. The park recently closed its shuttle system, which used to transport hikers to many of the park's most popular hiking trails. Because of this, an administrator at the park suspects the mean distance, u, is now less than 30 kilometers. The administrator chooses a random sample of 45 visitors. The mean distance hiked for the sample is 27.2 kilometers. Assume the population standard deviation is 9.9 kilometers. Can the administrator conclude that the mean distance hiked by each visitor is now less than 30 kilometers? Perform a hypothesis test, using the 0.10 level of significance.
