A study was recently conducted to estimate the mean cholesterol for adult males over the age of 55 years. From a random sample of n = 10 men, the sample mean was found to be 242.6 and the sample standard deviation was 73.33. To find the 95 percent confidence interval estimate for the mean, what is the correct critical value to use?

The combined math and verbal scores for students taking a national standardized examination for college admission, is normally distributed with a mean of 800 and a standard deviation of 140. If a college requires a minimum score of 900 for admission, what percentage of student do not satisfy that requirement?
Blood glucose level for obese patients has a mean of 100 with a standard deviation of 15. A researcher thinks that a diet high in raw cornstarch will have a positive or negative effect on blood glucose levels. A random sample of 30 patients who have tried the raw cornstarch diet have a mean glucose level of 140. Test the hypothesis that the raw cornstarch had an effect?
Cotinine levels were measured in a group of non-smokers exposed to tobacco smoke (n =40), the mean of the sample was 60.58 ng/Ml and the standard deviation was 138.08 ng/Ml. Also, cotinine levels were measured in a group of non-smokers not exposed to tobacco smoke(n =40), the mean of the sample was 16.35 ng/mL and the standard deviation was 62.53 ng/mL. Cotinine is a metabolite of nicotine, meaning that when nicotine is absorbed by the body, cotinine is produced. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that non-smokers exposed to tobacco smoke have a higher mean nicotine level than nonsmokers not exposed to tobacco smoke. a)Define the parameter and state null and alternative hypothesis b)Test Statistics c) Critical Value Approach d) Conclusion
To test the claim that the mean blood glucose level of women is 100 mg/dL, a researcher takes a random sample of 135 women. They had a mean blood glucose level of 108.3 mg/dL. (The population standard deviation is 3.4 mg/dL). Test the claim at the 0.05 level of significance.
In a school district, all sixth grade students take the same standardized test. The superintendant of the school district takes a random sample of 3030 scores from all of the students who took the test. She sees that the mean score is 169169 with a standard deviation of 7.06747.0674. The superintendant wants to know if the standard deviation has changed this year. Previously, the population standard deviation was 1313. Is there evidence that the standard deviation of test scores has decreased at the α=0.005α=0.005 level? Assume the population is normally distributed. Step 1 of 5: State the null and alternative hypotheses. Round to four decimal places when necessary. Step 2 of 5: Determine the critical value(s) of the test statistic. If the test is two-tailed, separate the values with a comma. Round your answer to three decimal places. Step 3 of 5: Determine the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to three decimal places. Step 4 of 5: Make the…
An advertising agency that serves a major radio station wants to estimate the mean amount of time that the station’s audience spends listening to the radio daily. From past studies, the standard deviation is estimated as 45 minutes. What sample size is needed if the agency wants to be 99% confident of being correct to within ±5 minutes?
The combined SAT scores for the students at a local high school are normally distributed with a mean of 1469 and a standard deviation of 296. The local college includes a minimum score of 1824 in its admission requirements. What percentage of students from this school earn scores that satisfy the admission requirement?
Data from a government agency showed that the mean performance rating of employees is 87% with a standard deviation of 10%. Samples of 50 employees’ record were found to have a mean performance of 83. Based on this data, can we say that the mean performance of those employees were below the average at 0.05 level of significance?
During the busy season, it is important for the shipping manager at ShipMundo to be able to estimate the time it takes the loading crew to load a truck. The shipping manager has found that she can model the load times using a normal distribution with a mean of 152 minutes and a standard deviation of 15 minutes. Use this table or the ALEKS calculator to find the percentage of load times between 116 minutes and 149 minutes according to the model. For your intermediate computations, use four or more decimal places. Give your final answer to two decimal places (for example 98.23%).
The combined SAT scores for the students at a local high school are normally distributed with a mean of 1478 and a standard deviation of 292. The local college includes a minimum score of 689.6 in its admission requirements.What percentage of students from this school earn scores that satisfy the admission requirement?
The manager at a drive through has implemented a new process and wants to check if the new drive through process has a mean less than 188.83 seconds. The overall std. deviation of all the stores across the globe is 20 seconds. He has taken a sample of 39 and found the mean time to be 186.90 seconds. What does the hypothesis test lead to? Is there evidence to suggest the process has really improved?
A study showed that two years ago, the mean time spent per visit to Facebook was 20.1 minutes. Assume the standard deviation is 7 minutes. Suppose that a simple random sample of 103 visits was selected this year and has a sample mean of 22.1 minutes. A social scientist is interested to know whether the mean time of Facebook visits has changed. Use the a=0.05 level of significance and the p-value method with the table.
