According to the US Department of Agriculture, the average egg in a carton of 12 eggs weighs around 2 oz. You have a suspicion that a particular producer sells eggs of inferior caliber (lower weight). (a) µ represents the population mean eggs. (b) State the hypotheses (Ho & Ha) for a test to verify your belief. (c) State what the parameter u in your hypotheses is.

The average farm size in Micah's country is 445 acres. The average farm size in Johanna's country is 485 acres. (a) Determine whether the following statement is true or false. If you wanted to determine if there is a statistically significant difference between the two countries, the parameter of interest would be uM - H7, where HM = mean size of all farms in Micah's country u, = mean size of all farms in Johanna's country. O True O False (b) If you wanted to determine if there is a statistically significant difference between the two countries, what would be your null hypothesis? O Ho: H, = 445 Ho: HM - Hy > o O Ho: HM - H, = 0 O Ho: HM = 485 (c) What would be your alternative hypothesis? O H: HM - H3 0 O H: HM - H, + 0 O H2: HM+ 485
Suppose the average blood sugar level in 35- to 44-year-olds is 4.86 (mmol/L). Do sedentary people have a different blood sugar level than that of the general population? To answer that question, a hypothesis test is planned to collect data from a group of 200 sedentary people in this age group. State the null and alternative hypothesis for this study. A. H0: u (mean) ≠ 4.86 mmol/L vs Ha: u (mean) = 4.86 mmol/L B. H0: u (mean) = 4.86 mmol/L vs Ha: xbar ≠ 4.86 mmol/L C. H0: u (mean) = 4.86 mmol/L vs Ha: u (mean) > 4.86 mmol/L D. H0: u(mean) = 4.86 mmol/L vs Ha: u (mean) ≠ 4.86 mmol/L
Unfortunately, arsenic occurs naturally in some ground water. A mean arsenic level of u = 8 parts per billion (ppb) is considered safe for agricultural use. A well in Los Banos is used to water cotton crops. This well is tested on a regular basis for arsenic. A random sample of 37 tests gave a sample mean of = 7.3ppb arsenic. It is known that o = 1.9 ppb for this type of data. Does this information indicate that the mean level of arsenic in this well is less than 8 ppb? Use the classical approach. Use a = 0.01 What is the Decision (step 5) for this problem? There is not sufficient evidence at the 0.01 level of significance to show the mean arsenic level in the Los Banos well is less than 7.3 ppb. O There is sufficient evidence at the 0.01 level of significance to show the mean arsenic level in the Los Banos well is less than 8.0 ppb.

The authors of the paper "Statistical Methods for Assessing Agreement Between Two Methods of Clinical Measurement"† compared two different instruments for measuring a person's ability to breathe out air. (This measurement is helpful in diagnosing various lung disorders.) The two instruments considered were a Wright peak flow meter and a mini-Wright peak flow meter. Seventeen people participated in the study, and for each person air flow was measured once using the Wright meter and once using the mini-Wright meter.

The effectiveness of surgery for weight loss reported here found that "The surgery was associated with significantly greater weight loss [than the control group who dieted] through 2 years (61.3 versus 11.2 pounds, P<0.001)." What test could have been used and how would it have been computed?
The Department of Agriculture wants to determine whether the mean yield per acre for a particular variety of soybeans is different this year compared to the historical avg yield of 520 bushels per acre. Thus, the null and alternative hypotheses are Ho: mu = 520 Ha: mu is not = to 520 You set out to conduct a hypothesis test at the 95% level. Mean yields are distributed Normally. You take a sample of 36 different acres. From this sample, you calculate a mean yield of 573 and a std deviation of 24. Do you reject or not-reject the null hypothesis? Group of answer choices Do not reject the null hypothesis. Reject the null hypothesis.
