Benzene is a toxic chemical used in the manufacturing of medicinal chemicals, dyes, artificial leather, and linoleum. A manufacturer claims that its exit water meets the federal regulation with a mean of less than 7980 ppm of benzene. To assess the benzene content of the exit water, 10 independent water samples were collected and found to have an average of 7912 ppm of benzene. Assume a known standard deviation of 70 ppm and use a significance level of 0.01. (a) Test the manufacturer's claim. Use the P-value approach. Round your answer to 5 decimal places (e.g. 98.76543). (b) What is the B-value if the true mean is 7915? Round your answer to 3 decimal places (e.g. 98.765). (c) What sample size would be necessary to detect a true mean of 7915 with a probability of at least 0.907 Round your answer up the nearest whole number, answer is exact. (d) Find a 99% one-sided upper confidence bound on the true mean. Round your answer to 2 decimal places (e.g. 98.76). (a) p.value - v be rejected The null hypothesis (b) B- (c) - (d) us

In the United States, egg sizes are set by the Department of Agriculture. A "large" egg, for example, weighs between 57 and 64grams. Suppose the weights of eggs produced by hens owned by a particular farmer are approximately normally distributed with a mean of 55.8 grams and a standard deviation of 7.5 grams. What proportion of these eggs weigh less than 50grams? What percent of these eggs would be classified as large?
An energy company wants to choose between two regions in a state to install energy-producing wind turbines. A researcher claims that the wind speed in Region A is less than the wind speed in Region B. To test the regions, the average wind speed is calculated for 90 days in each region. The mean wind speed in Region A is 13.7 miles per hour. Assume the population standard deviation is 2.8 miles per hour. The mean wind speed in Region B is 15.1 miles per hour. Assume the population standard deviation is 3.2 miles per hour. At a = 0.05, can the company support the researcher's claim? Complete parts (a) through (d) below. (a) Identify the claim and state H, and Ha What is the claim? O A. The wind speed in Region A is less than the wind speed in Region B. O B. The wind speed in Region A is not less than the wind speed in Region B. O C. The wind speed in Region A is not greater than the wind speed in Region B. O D. The wind speed in Region A is the same as the wind speed in Region B. Let…
Assume the average amount of caffeine consumed daily by adults is normally distributed with a mean of 260 mg and a standard deviation of 48 mg. In a random sample of 600 adults, how many consume at least 320 mg of caffeine daily?
In a test of the effectiveness of garlic for lowering cholesterol, 36subjects were treated with raw garlic. Cholesterol levels were measured before and after the treatment. The changes (before minus after) in their levels of LDL cholesterol (in mg/dL) have a mean of 0.3 and a standard deviation of 2.39. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that with garlic treatment, the mean change in LDL cholesterol is greater than 0. What do the results suggest about the effectiveness of the garlic treatment? Assume that a simple random sample has been selected. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses, test statistic, P-value, and state the final conclusion that addresses the original claim.
Condé Nast Traveler conducts an annual survey in which readers rate their favorite cruise ship. All ships are rated on a 100-point scale, with higher values indicating better service. A sample of 37 ships that carry fewer than 500 passengers resulted in an average rating of 85.35, and a sample of 43 ships that carry 500 or more passengers provided an average rating of 81.60. Assume that the population standard deviation is 4.54 for ships that carry fewer than 500 passengers and 3.99 for ships that carry 500 or more passengers. Round your all answers to two decimal places. a. What is the point estimate of the difference between the population mean rating for ships that carry fewer than 500 passengers and the population mean rating for ships that carry 500 or more passengers? b. At 95% confidence, what is the margin of error? c. What is a 95% confidence interval estimate of the difference between the population mean ratings for the two sizes of ships? to

The Merck Manual states that, for healthy adults, the mean number of milliliters of oxygen per deciliter of blood is 19.0. A company that sells vitamins claims that its multivitamin complex will increase the oxygen capacity of the blood. A random sample of 28 adults took the vitamin for six months. After blood tests, it was found that the sample mean was 20.7 ml of oxygen per deciliter of blood with a standard deviation of 6.7ml. a. At the 0.05 level, test the claim that the average oxygen capacity has increased. b. How much power do you have to detect a 3ml difference (from the null) in the average amount of oxygen in the blood? c. What sample size would you need to have 90% power to detect this observed difference?
Assume that human body temperatures are normally distributed with a mean of 98.19°F and a standard deviation of 0.64"F. a, A hospital uses 100.6°F as the lowest temperature considered to be a fever. What percentage of normal and healthy persons would be considered to have a fever? Does this percentage suggest that a cutoff of 100.6°F is appropriate? b. Physicians want to select a minimum temperature for requiring further medical tests. What should that temperature be, if we want only 5.0% of healthy people to exceed it?
