A soft drink company fills two-liter bottles on several different lines of production equipment. The fill volumes are normally distributed with a mean of 1.97 liters and a variance of 0.04 (liter)2 . a. Find the probability that a randomly selected two-liter bottle would contain between 1.95 and 2.03 liters. b. If X is the fill volume of a randomly selected two-liter bottle, find the value of x for which P(X > x) = 0.3228.

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 70 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. Two sample T for Men vs Women N Mean StDev SE Mean Men Women 98% CI for mu Men - mu Women (- 12.20, - 1.00) T-Test mu Men = mu Women (vs H2 O C.

A researcher takes sample temperatures in Fahrenheit of 16 days from Miami and 14 days from Atlanta. Use the sample data shown in the table. Test the claim that the mean temperature in Miami greater than the mean temperature in Atlanta. Use a significance level of α=0.10α=0.10.Assume the populations are approximately normally distributed with unequal variances.Note that list 1 is longer than list 2, so these are 2 independent samples, not matched pairs.

A firm produces calculators. It manager claims that its calculators are good, on average, for at least 58 months. A consumer protection agency tested 16 such calculators to check this claim. He found the mean life of these calculators to be 55 months with a variance of 9 months. Can you conclude that the claim of this company is true? Use a = 0.05. Assume that the life of such a calculator has an approximately normal distribution. According to this information the null and alternative hypotheses are: H0: μ ≤ 58 H1: μ > 58 Select one: True False
