A simple random sample of 29 filtered 100-mm cigarettes is obtained from a normally distributed population, and the tar content of each cigarette is measured. The sample has a standard deviation of 0.18 mg. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the tar content of filtered 100-mm cigarettes has a standard deviation different from 0.25 mg, which is the standard deviation for unfiltered king-size cigarettes.

According to an automobile association, the average cost of a gallon of regular unleaded fuel at gas stations in a certain month was $2.825. Assume that the standard deviation of such costs is $0.15. Suppose that a random sample of n = 100 gas stations is selected from the population and the month's cost per gallon of regular unleaded fuel is determined for each. Consider x, the sample mean cost per gallon. Complete part a through d. Click the icon to view the table of normal curve areas. a. Calculate P and o
An experiment was conducted to determine whether giving candy to dining parties resulted in greater tips. The mean tip percentages and standard deviations are given in the accompanying table along with the sample sizes.

Use z scores to compare the given values. The tallest living man at one time had a height of 256cm. The shortest living man at that time had a height of 114.6 cm. Heights of men at that time had a mean of 174.87 cm and a standard deviation of 7.57 cm. Which of these two men had the height that was more extreme? Since the z score for the tallest man is z=____ and the z score for the shortest man is z=_____, the (Shortest/tallest) man had the height that was more extreme. (Round to two decimal places.)
A sample of 314 patients between 38 and 82 were given a drug intended to reduce their level of cholesterol. The results were the mean reduction in cholesterol of 0.94 millimole per liter. Assume the population standard deviation is σ = 0.18. Construct a 98% C.I.
