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

Assume that the wavelengths of photosynthetically active radiations (PAR) are uniformly distributed at integer nanometers in the red spectrum from 635 to 655 nm. What is the mean and variance of the wavelength distribution for this radiation? Round your answers to one decimal place (e.g. 98.7). Mean - i Variance = i
The salaries of professional baseball players are heavily skewed right with a mean of $3.2 million and a standard deviation of $2 million. The salaries of professional football players are also heavily skewed right with a mean of $1.9 million and a standard deviation of $1.5 million. A random sample of 40 baseball players' salaries and 35 football players' salaries is selected. The mean salary is determined for both samples. Let 1,-i, represent the difference in the mean salaries for baseball and football players. Which of the following represents the mean of the sampling distribution for ī, -7,? -1.3 1.3 1.9 3.2
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.)
