According to a government agency, the average workweek for an adult in February 2018 was 34.1 hours. Assume the population standard deviation for the number of hours worked per week is 4.0 hours. A random sample of 35 adults worked an average of 34.8 hours last week. a. Do the results from this sample support the claim by the government agency? b. Identify the symmetrical interval that includes 82% of the sample means if the true population mean is 34.1 hours per week. a. Do the results from this sample support the claim by the government agency? Consider a probability of less than 0.05 to be small. The probability that the sample mean will be greater than 34.8 hours is. The result V support the claim by the government agency that the mean is 34.1 hours because this probability is V 0.05. (Type an integer or decimal rounded to four decimal places as needed.)

The tallest living man at one time had a height of 220 cm. The shortest living man at that time had a height of 136.8 cm. Heights of men at that time had a mean of 173.88 cm and a standard deviation of 5.13 cm. Which of these men had the height that was more extreme?
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, all workers in America who had a bachelor's degree and were employed earned an average of $1152 a week in 2010. A recent sample of 676 American workers who have a bachelor's degree showed that they earn an average of $1171 per week. Assume that the population standard deviation is $165. Test the claim that the current mean weekly earnings of American workers with a bachelor's degree is greater than $1152. Show all the steps of a hypothesis test.
A company has rolled out a new process for sales people to use. They were able to go back into the company records and pull all sales data from before the roll out. Each sales person when they closed a sale had an average contract of $108 with a standard deviation of $12. During the first month after the roll out, a sample of sales showed the average contract was $116. Which statistical test could be used to see if this was a significant increase in contract size?

According to a health foundation survey from 2018 and 2016, the average annual premiums for employer-sponsored health insurance for family coverage was $16,834 in 2018 and $15,745 in 2016. Suppose the survey for 2018, was based on 250 employees who had employer-sponsored health insurance and the survey for 2016 was based on 200 employees who had employer-sponsored health insurance. Assume the population standard deviation for 2018 and 2016 were $2160 and $1990; respectively. Find a 97% confidence interval for the mean difference.

The mean IQ of 200,000 current and past University of Manitoba students has been found to be 81.9. The standard deviation was found to be 13.1. The student enrollment at the University of Manitoba in 2016 was 29,987. The minimum IQ to be able to graduate from the University of Winnipeg has been found to be 104. Of the 29,987 students at the University of Manitoba in 2016, how many would be expected to be smart enough to graduate from the University of Winnipeg? Assume a Gaussian distribution.
An instructor claims that the average number of hours needed to study for a final exam in order to pass should be 5 hours. A student believes that the instructor is understating the number of hours needed to pass and surveys 36 students and finds the sample mean and standard deviation to be 5.7 and 1.5 hours respectively. Test the instructors claim at a .10 level.
