According to The Vancouver Sun (December 18, 2010) McDonald's chicken fajita is labeled as having 6 grams of fat on average with a standard deviation of 1.2 grams. They did a sample of 3 fajitas, and found the average to be 10.76 grams of fat. Assuming normality, test at the 5% significance level if the McDonald's fajita has more fat than the label says. Show all the steps of a hypothesis test.

Paint used to paint lines on roads must reflect enough light to be clearly visible at night. Researchers have 2 new types of paints they want to test paint type A and paint type B. For each paint type, they tested if there was statistical evidence the average reflectometer reading is greater than 35. To test each type of paint, they used 15 paint samples. Further, suppose the standard deviation is the same for both types of paints. The sample mean for paint type A was 39 and the sample mean for paint type B was 41.5. For both statistical tests, the significance level is set to .05.Which of the following is true? If they fail to reject the null hypothesis for paint type A we can conclude there is statistical evidence the average reflectometer for type A paint is 35. The p-value for the type B paint test is smaller. They rejected the null hypothesis for both paint types. Exactly two of the statements above are true. None are true.
According to a news program, Americans take an average of 4.9 days off per year because of illness. The manager of a large chain of grocery stores wants to know if the employees at the grocery store, on average, take fewer days off than the national average. The manager selects a random sample of 80 employees in the company and found the sample mean number of days off for the 80 employees was 4.75 days with a standard deviation of 0.9 days. When the manager performed a significance test, the P-value was 0.07. What is the meaning of this P-value in context?
A quiz related to digital knowledge was conducted. The quiz had 10 questions and covered topics such as the purpose of browser cookies, phishing scams, and privacy policies. The survey was given to 50 people. The mean score is 4.1 with a standard deviation of 2.6. We want to know if the data provide evidence that the mean score in the population is lower than 5. We will use alpha = 0.05 to make our decision. What is the null hypothesis for this question? Group of answer choices a. The proportion of people who pass the test is 5. b. The mean test score of the population is 5. c. The mean test score of the 50 people who took the test is 5. d.The standard deviation is 2.6
Bone mineral density (BMD) is a measure of bone strength. Studies show that BMD declines after age 45. The impact of exercise may increase BMD. A random sample of 59 women between the ages of 41 and 45 with no major health problems were studied. The women were classified into one of two groups based upon their level of exercise activity: walking women and sedentary women. The 39 women who walked regularly had a mean BMD of 5.96 with a standard deviation of 1.22. The 20 women who are sedentary had a mean BMD of 4.41 with a standard deviation of 1.02. Which of the following inference procedures could be used to estimate the difference in the mean BMD for these two types of women
According to the Statistical Abstract of the United States, the mean family size in 2010 was 3.14 persons. Suppose a random sample of 225 families taken this year yields a sample mean size of 3.05 persons, and suppose we assume the population standard deviation of family sizes is o = 1 person. Using a 5% significance level, test the hypothesis that the mean family size has decreased since 2010. Perform your hypothesis test, and select the best interpretation of your results from the choices below. Select one: O a. At the 5% level of significance the data are statistically significant. We cannot determine the average family size has decreased since 2010. O b. At the 5% level of significance the data are statisticall significant. We can determine the average family size has decreased since 2010. O c. At the 5% level of significance the data is not statistically significant. We cannot conclude the average family size has decreased since 2010. O d. At the 5% level of significance the data…
The honors program at Brad's university only accepts students with an entrance exam score over 400. What percentage of students would be eligible if the students at Brad's school have an average exam score of 250, with a standard deviation of 80?
A newly hired basketball coach promised a high- paced attack that will put more points on the board than the team's previously tepid offense historically managed. After a few months, the team owner looks at the data to test the coach's claim. He takes a sample of 36 of the team's games under the new coach and finds that they scored an average of 101 points with a standard deviation of 6 points. Over the past 10 years, the team had averaged 99 points. What is(are) the appropriate critical value(s) to test the new coach's claim at the 1% significance level? -2.438 -2.438 and 2.438 2.326 2.438
The mean age of bus drivers in chicago is 56.7 years. If a hypothesis test is performed, how should you interpret a decision that rejects the null hypothesis?
a Leche League International reports that the mean age of weaning a child from breastfeeding is age four to five worldwide. In America, most nursing mothers wean their children much earlier. Suppose a random survey is conducted of 21 U.S. mothers who recently weaned their children. The mean weaning age was 9 months (3/4 year) with a standard deviation of 2 months. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the mean weaning age in the U.S. is less than four years old. Conduct a hypothesis test at the 5% level. a. What is the p-value? (Round your answer to four decimal places.) b. What is the test statistic

There are two samples. One is a group of 8 athletes who practice and the other is a group of 5 athletes who do not practice. The mean for group 1 is 92.4 and the standard deviation is 5.83. For group 2, the mean is 81.3 and the standard deviation 7.85. the coach thinks the true mean for the athletes who did not practice is more that 8 points smaller than those who did practice. a) make the null and alternative hypotheses. calculate the test statistic and give an explanation as to why you chose this test statistic.
