Suppose the mean weight of King Penguins found in an Antarctic colony last year was 15.4 kg. In a sample of 35 penguins same time this year in the same colony, the mean penguin weight is 14.6 kg. Assume the population standard deviation is 2.5 kg. At .05 significance level, can we reject the null hypothesis that the mean penguin weight does not differ from last year? Use P-value approach.
A sample of bills for meals was obtained at a restaurant. For each of 70 bills the tip was found as a percentage of the raw bill (before taxes). Sample mean and the sample standard deviations are 17.986 and 5.937 respectively. Does it appear that the population mean tip percentage for this restaurant exceeds the standard 15%? Carryout an appropriate hypothesis test using 6-step process. Use 1% significance level.
Suppose the mean height of women age 20 years or older in a certain country is 62.9inches. One hundred randomly selected women in a certain city had a mean height of 63.8 inches.

Consider the sample of 106 body temperatures. Assume that the standard deviation of the population is known to be 0.62°F. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the mean body temperature of the population is equal to 98.6°F, as is commonly believed. Find the statistic, p-value and the critical value (or values). Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the common belief is wrong?

A hospital administrator noticed a large change in the weight of babies being born at the hospital in the last few months. She randomly selected 10 babies born in the last month. Historically, babies at the hospital have had a mean weight of 7.58pounds and a standard deviation of 1.05 pounds. To test the weights, the administrator decided to use the historical standard deviation as the population standard deviation. The hospital administrator conducts a one-mean hypothesis at the 5% significance level, to test if there has been a change in the mean weight of babies being born at the hospital in the last few months from 7.58 pounds. (a) H0:μ=7.58; Ha:μ≠7.58, which is a two-tailed test 7.5 5.7 10.2 5.8 6.8 5.0 7.3 8.2 7.4 6.8 What is the test statistic and p-value?

At the 5% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean height of women in the city differs from the national mean? Assume that the population standard deviation of the heights of women in the city is 4.2 inches. Set up the hypotheses for the one-mean z-test. The P-value is (Do not reject, Reject) the null hypothesis. The data (do not provide, provide) sufficient evidence to conclude that the average height of women in the city is (different from, the same as, greater than, less than) the average height of women in the country.

According to recent information from the Wheelers Association, the mean age of passenger cars in Metro Manila is 8.4 years. A sample of 40 cars in the student lots at the International Business School (IBS) showed the mean age to be 9.2 years. The standard deviation of this sample was 2.8 years. At the .01 significance level can we conclude the mean age is more than 8.4 years for the cars of IBS students?

The mean age when smokers first start is 13 years old with a population standard deviation of 1.9 years.

A survey of smokers of this generation was done to see if the mean age has changed. The sample of 31 smokers found that their mean starting age was 12 years old. Do the data support the claim at the 1% significance level? What are the correct hypotheses?
