A trucking firm suspects that the mean lifetime of a certain tire it uses is less than 34,000 miles. To check the claim, the firm randomly selects and tests 54 of these tires and gets a mean lifetime of 33,390 miles with a standard deviation of 1200 miles. At a = 0.05, test the trucking firm's claim.

A California lake has been stocked with rainbow trout. These trout have an average length of 24 inches, with a standard deviation of 3 inches. Someone goes fishing and catches a trout that is 26.25 inches long. Express the length of this trout in standard units, relative to all the trout that were used to stock the lake. Choose the answer below that is closest.
Many dairy cows now receive injections of? BST, a hormone intended to spur milk production. After the first? injection, a test herd of 61 cows increased their mean daily production from 49 pounds to 59 pounds of milk. The standard deviation of the increases was 3.1 pounds. A researcher wants to estimate the mean increase a farmer could expect from his own cows?
Assume that the readings at freezing on a batch of thermometers are normally distributed with a mean of 0°C and a standard deviation of 1.00°C. A single thermometer is randomly selected and tested. Find P61, the 61-percentile. This is the temperature reading separating the bottom 61% from the top 39%.P61 =
Mason earned a score of 226 on Exam A that had a mean of 250 and a standard deviation of 40. He is about to take Exam B that has a mean of 550 and a standard deviation of 25. How well must Mason score on Exam B in order to do equivalently well as he did on Exam A? Assume that scores on each exam are normally distributed.
Ann thinks that there is a difference in quality of life between rural and urban living. She collects information from obituaries in newspapers from urban and rural towns in Idaho to see if there is a difference in life expectancy. A sample of 3 people from rural towns give a life expectancy of xr¯=79��¯=79 years with a standard deviation of sr=7.57��=7.57 years. A sample of 14 people from larger towns give xu¯=82��¯=82 years and su=5.48��=5.48 years. Does this provide evidence that people living in rural Idaho communities have different life expectancy than those in more urban communities? Use a 5% level of significance. (a) State the null and alternative hypotheses: (Type ‘‘mu_r′′‘‘��_�″ for the symbol μr�� , e.g. mu_rnot=mu_u��_��=��_� for the means are not equal, mu_r>mu_u��_�>��_� for the rural mean is larger, mu_r<mu_u��_�<��_� , for the rural mean is smaller. )H0�0 = equation editor Equation Editor Ha�� = equation editor Equation Editor (b) The degree of…
A study of a population showed that males' body temperatures are approximately Normally distributed with a mean of 98.4°F and a population standard deviation of 0.40°F. What body temperature does a male have if he is at the 95th percentile? Draw a well-labeled sketch to support your answer.
A particular fruit's weights are normally distributed, with a mean of 609 grams and a standard deviation of 40 grams.The heaviest 20% of fruits weigh more than how many grams?Give your answer to the nearest gram.
A random sample of 34 chemists from Washington state shows an average salary of $41857, the population standard deviation for chemist salaries in Washington state is $697. A random sample of 35 chemists from Florida state shows an average salary of $44632, the population standard deviation for chemist salaries in Florida state is $900. A chemist that has worked in both states believes that chemists in Washington make a different amount than chemists in Florida. At a=0.05 is this chemist correct? Let Washington be sample 1 and Florida be sample 2. The correct hypotheses are: Ο Ηο: μι μ2(claim) Ο Ηο: μι 2 με HAM12(claim) Ho: M₁ = H2 1 HAM12(claim) Since the level of significance is 0.05 the critical value is 1.96 and -1.96 The test statistic is: (round to 3 places) The p-value is: (round to 3 places)
