(b) A research has been conducted to study the amount of tar in filtered cigarrate and nonfiltered cigarated. The researcher claimed that the mean of tar in filtered cigarattes is less than the mean amount in nonfiltered cigarattes. By refer to the data listed in Table Q5, use a 0.05 level of significance to test the reseachers's claim. Assume o unknown but equal, and the two populations are normally distributed.

Researchers were interested in assessing whether stress levels are different at the beginning of the semester compared to finals week. To test this, stress was measured in 5 students at the start of the semester and then again at the end of the semester during finals week.

An engineer designed a valve that will regulate water pressure on an automobile engine. The engineer designed the valve such that it would produce a mean pressure of 5.5 pounds/square inch. It is believed that the valve performs above the specifications. The valve was tested on 24 engines and the mean pressure was 5.7 pounds/square inch with a variance of 0.49. A level of significance of 0.01 will be used. Assume the population distribution is approximately normal. Make the decision to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis. Dain

A person is interested in studying the amount of time (in minutes ) people spend on social media in a day. The following data is collected from a sample of 12 people : 45, 60,25,55,75,90,100,120,105,80, 0 and 220. Does the data contain outlier(s)? Explain your reasoning. ( use empirical rule and use the quartile method to check ).

Example 19.13 A company used three different methods of advertising its product in three cities. It later found the increased sales (in thousand rupees) in identical retail outlets in the three cities as follows: City A: City B: City C: 70 58 60 45 55 62 89 72 65 57 48 55 75 68 45 52 63 53 59 71 70 63 60 58 75
The salaries of professional baseball players are heavily skewed right with a mean of $3.2 million and a standard deviation of $2 million. The salaries of professional football players are also heavily skewed right with a mean of $1.9 million and a standard deviation of $1.5 million. A random sample of 40 baseball players’ salaries and 35 football players’ salaries is selected. The mean salary is determined for both samples. Let represent the difference in the mean salaries for baseball and football players. Which of the following represents the shape of the sampling distribution for ? skewed right since the populations are both right skewed skewed right since the differences in salaries cannot be negative approximately Normal since both sample sizes are greater than 30 approximately Normal since the sum of the sample sizes is greater than 30
