From generation to generation, the mean age when smokers first start to smoke varies. However, the standard deviation of that age remains constant at around 2.1 years. A survey of 38 smokers of this generation was done to see if the mean starting age is at least 19. The sample mean was 18.1 with a sample standard deviation of 1.3. Do the data support the claim at the 5% level? (i) Alpha (Enter an exact number as an integer, fraction, or decimal.)? =
A company claims that the mean monthly residential electricity consumption in a certain region is more than 860 kiloWatt-hours (kWh). You want to test this claim. You find that a random sample of 69 residential customers has a mean monthly consumption of 880 kWh. Assume the population standard deviation is 126 kWh. At α=0.01, can you support the claim? Complete parts (a) through (e). Also find the critical values.
