A random sample of eight cigarettes of certain brand has an average nicotine content of 18.6 milligrams and a standard deviation of 22.4 milligrams. Is this in line with the manufacturer’s claim that average nicotine content does not exceed 17.5 milligrams? Use a 0.01 level of significance and assume the distribution of nicotine contents to be normal.

In 2009 Noodles & Company introduced spaghetti and meatballs to its menu. Before putting it on the menu, it performed taste tests to determine the best-tasting spaghetti sauce. In a paired comparison, 53 tasters were asked to rate their satisfaction with two different sauces on a scale of 1–10, with 10 being the highest. Assume equal population variances. The mean difference in ratings was d¯d¯ = -0.42158 with a standard deviation of sd = 1.17640. Use α = 0.05. Find the critical value tcrit for α = .05. Find the p-value.
Tipping. In the article “Are Christian/Religious People Poor Tippers?” (Journal of Applied Social Psychology, Vol. 43, Issue 5, pp. 928–935), M. Lynn and B. Katz report that, for customers who receive bad service, the mean percentage tip is 8.56% of the bill with a standard deviation of 5.37%. Let x represent the percentage of the bill that a customer tips when he or she receives bad service. a. What percentage of tips for bad service are at least 0%? b. Assuming that x is approximately normally distributed, use normalcurve areas to determine the approximate percentage of tips for bad service that are at least 0%. c. Based on your results from parts (a) and (b), do you think that the percentage of the bill that a customer tips when he or she receives bad service is approximately a normally distributed variable? Explain your answer.

Consider a small scale example, comparing how temperatures have changed in the US from 1968 to 2008. The daily high temperature reading on January 1 was collected in 1968 and 2008 for 51 randomly selected locations in the continental US. The locations are the same for both years. The difference between the two readings (temperature in 2008 - temperature in 1968) was calculated for each of the 51 different locations. The average of these 51 values was 1.24 degrees with a standard deviation of 4.25 degrees. We are interested in determining whether this provides strong evidence of temperature warming in the continental US. (Does the data provide evidence that the true mean temperature is greater in 2008 than in 1968?) Justify by using a confidence interval or a hypothesis test with α = 0.05. What type of error are you in danger of making?
Dr. Graham is interested in determining if middle-aged adults use text messaging more or less frequently than the general population. Dr. Graham collects information on text messaging from a random sample of 50 adults ages 25 to 44. Dr. Graham finds that these individuals send or receive an average of 68 text messages per day. Using the population mean (and standard deviation) of 41.5 texts per day (34 texts per day), determine whether adults in this age group use text messaging more than the general public.
In a class of twenty-five 15-year old girls the average height is M = 62.60 inches. The national average for girls at this age is reported as follows: µ = 63.80 inches with a standard deviation, s = 2.66 inches. 1. What is the effect size Cohen’s d and what does it tell us about the effect? 2. Compute the z-statistic.
Choose the appropriate statistical test. When computing, be sure to round each answer as indicated. A dentist wonders if depression affects ratings of tooth pain. In the general population, using a scale of 1-10 with higher values indicating more pain, the average pain rating for patients with toothaches is 6.8. A sample of 30 patients that show high levels of depression have an average pain rating of 7.1 (variance 0.8). What should the dentist determine? 1. Calculate the estimated standard error. (round to 3 decimals). [st.error] 2. What is thet-obtained? (round to 3 decimals). 3. What is the t-cv? (exact value) 4. What is your conclusion? Only type "Reject" or Retain"
A study was conducted for an aviation safety agency in which they surveyed thousands of passengers at airports across Europe. In this study, the "mass" for a passenger includes the weight of the passenger and all of the passenger's carry-on items, including infants without their own seats. For the 5,904 adult male passengers measured in summer, the sample mean and standard deviation for this mass were 88.8 kg and 15.9 kg, respectively. (a) Construct a 95% confidence interval (in kilograms) for the population mean mass for adult male passengers in summer. (Round your answers to three decimal places.) ___to__ kg (b) Write a sentence or two interpreting the confidence interval you found in part (a). With 95% confidence, we can estimate that the population mean mass of male passengers traveling in the summer is contained within the interval. We can estimate that 95% of the male passengers traveling in the summer in the sample have a mass that is contained within the interval.…
