An automobile company is looking for fuel additives that might increase gas mileage. Without additives 17 their cars are known to average 17 mpg (miles per gallons)with a standard deviation of mpg on 6 a road trip from Muscatto Sur. The company now asks whether a new additive increases this value. In a study, forty cars are sent on a road trip from Muscat to Sur. Suppose it turns out that the forty cars average x - (17 + 0.75)mpg with the additive.Can we conclude from this result that the additive is effective? a. With a significance level of 5%. b. With a significance level of 1%

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 researcher studying stress is interested in the blood pressure measurements of chief executive officers (CEOS) of major corporations. He believes that the mean systolic blood pressure, u, of CEOS of major corporations is more than 136 mm Hg, which is the value reported in a possibly outdated journal article. He plans to perform a statistical test and measures the systolic blood pressures of a random sample of 100 CEOS of major corporations. Suppose that the population of systolic blood pressures among CEOS of major corporations has a standard deviation of 15 mm Hg and that the researcher performs his hypothesis test using the 0.1 level of significance. Based on this information, answer the questions below. Carry your intermediate computations to at least four decimal places, and round your responses as indicated. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) Н : μ is What are the null and alternative hypotheses that the researcher should use for the test? Н : μ is Assuming that the…
Unfortunately, arsenic occurs naturally in some ground water.† A mean arsenic level of μ = 8.3 parts per billion (ppb) is considered safe for agricultural use. A well in Texas is used to water cotton crops. This well is tested on a regular basis for arsenic. A random sample of 41 tests gave a sample mean of x = 7.3 ppb arsenic, with s = 2.4 ppb. Does this information indicate that the mean level of arsenic in this well is less than 8.3 ppb? Use ? = 0.01. (a) What is the level of significance? State the null hypotheses H0 and the alternate hypothesis H1 . H0 : μ ---Select--- < ≥ ≤ = > ≠ H1 : μ ---Select--- < > ≤ ≥ = ≠ (b) What sampling distribution will you use?

Jeremiah earned a score of 530 on Exam A that had a mean of 450 and a standard deviation of 40. He is about to take Exam B that has a mean of 63 and a standard deviation of 20. How well must Jeremiah 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.
