Cadmium, a heavy metal, is toxic to animals. Mushrooms, however, are able to absorb and accumulate cadmium at high concentration. Determine if the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean cadmium level is different from the government's recommended limit of 5 ppm? Assume that the population standard deviation of cadmium level is 3.7 ppm. (Note: The sum of a sample data with 12 observations is 63.11) Perform hypothesis testing using both critical value approach and P-value approach at the 10% significance level, also determine the strength of evidence against the null hypothesis. ´

An automobile manufacturer has given its van a 53.1 miles/gallon (MPG) rating. An independent testing firm has been contracted to test the actual MPG for this van since it is believed that the van performs under the manufacturer's MPG rating. After testing 200 vans, they found a mean MPG of 52.9. Assume the population standard deviation is known to be 1.6. Is there sufficient evidence at the 0.05 level to support the testing firm's claim? Step 1 of 6 : State the null and alternative hypotheses.
In a study entitled How Undergraduate Students Use Credit Cards, Sallie Mae reported that undergraduate students have a mean credit card balance of $3,173. This figure was an all-time high and had increased 44% over the previous five years. Assume that a current study is being conducted to determine whether it can be concluded that the mean credit card balance for undergraduate students has continued to increase compared to the April 2009 report. Based on previous studies, use a population standard deviation σ = $1,000.For a sample of 180 undergraduate students with a sample mean credit card balance of $3,325, using a 0.05 level of significance, what is your conclusion?

Out of all families with 4 children, you select one family at random. What are the chances that the family you select has exactly 3 boys? Enter your answer as a decimal rounded to three decimal places (if necessary).
Over a period of 10weeks, a veterinarian took blood glucose reading from a horse, finding a mean of 93.8 mg/100 ml. and a standards deviation of 12.5 mg/ml. The mean glucose level for a healthy horse is 85 mg/ml. a. Perform a test of hypothesis at a 80% confidence level. Use the p-value method and a two tailed test of hypothesis. b. Perform a test of hypothesis at a 90% confidence level. Use the critical value method and a right tailed test.

According to the Annual Survey of Drug expenditure in country X, the annual expenditure for prescription drugs is $838 per person in the Northeast region of the country. A sample of 60 individuals in the Midwest shows a per person expenditure for prescription drugs of $745. Further, it is given that the population standard deviation of $300. I. Formulate hypotheses for a test to determine whether the sample data support the conclusion that the population annual expenditure for prescription drugs per person is lower in the Midwest than in the Northeast and Identify whether it is a two-tail test or a one-tail test (Left or right tail).II. Decide the suitable test statistics and justify your selection.III. Calculate the value of the relevant test statistics and identify the P-valueIV. Based on the p-value in part (III), at 99% confidence level, decide the decision criteria.V. Make the final conclusion based on the analysis.
An automobile manufacturer has given its van a 36.8 miles/gallon (MPG) rating. An independent testing firm has been contracted to test the actual MPG for this van since it is believed that the van has an incorrect manufacturer's MPG rating. After testing 160 vans, they found a mean MPG of 37.0. Assume the population standard deviation is known to be 1.5. Is there sufficient evidence at the 0.0 level to support the testing firm's claim? Step 4 of 6 : Find the P-value of the test statistic. Round your answer to four decimal places.
You may need to use the appropriate appendix table or technology to answer this question. The U.S. Energy Information Administration (US EIA) reported that the average price for a gallon of regular gasoline is $2.94. The US EIA updates its estimates of average gas prices on a weekly basis. Assume the standard deviation is $0.25 for the price of a gallon of regular gasoline and recommend the appropriate sample size for the US EIA to use if they wish to report each of the following margins of error at 95% confidence. (Round your answers up to the nearest whole number.) (a) The desired margin of error is $0.10. (b) The desired margin of error is $0.06. (c) The desired margin of error is $0.04.
If the actual deviation rate in the sample is greater than the expected deviation rate: The achieved upper deviation rate is less than the tolerable rate. The achieved upper deviation rate is greater than the tolerable rate. The sample result supports reliance on the control. The sample size was too large.
Choose the appropriate statistical test. When computing, be sure to round each answer as indicated. A dentist wonders if depression affects ratings of tooth pain. In the general population, using a scale of 1-10 with higher values indicating more pain, the average pain rating for patients with toothaches is 6.8. A sample of 30 patients that show high levels of depression have an average pain rating of 7.1 (variance 0.8). What should the dentist determine? 1. Calculate the estimated standard error.

The void volume within a textile fabric affects comfort, flammability, and insulation properties. Permeability of a fabric refers to the accessibility of void space to the flow of a gas or liquid. An article gave summary information on air permeability (cm3/cm2/sec) for a number of different fabric types. Consider the following data on two different types of plain-weave fabric: Fabric Type Sample Size Sample Mean Sample Standard Deviation Cotton 10 51.41 0.75 Triacetate 10 132.15 3.59 Assuming that the porosity distributions for both types of fabric are normal, let's calculate a confidence interval for the difference between true average porosity for the cotton fabric and that for the acetate fabric, using a 95% confidence level. Before the appropriate t critical value can be selected, df must be determined: df = 0.5625 10 + 12.8881 10 2 (0.5625/10)2 9 + (12.8881/10)2 9 = 1.8092 0.1849…
