Case No. 1 A store owner claims that the weight of their LPG mini-tanks are exactly 6-kgs as prescribed. Test the claim of the store owner using a random sample of 15 mini LPG tanks. Use a significance level of α = 0.10. The table below summarizes the weight (in kgs) of the 15 samples of mini LPG tanks. Answer: What is the Critical Value What are the MEAN and STANDARD DEVIATION What is the Standard test statistic? What is the Statistical Decision in statement form?

Prior to the institution of a new safety program, the average number of on-the-job accidents per day at a factory was 4.5. To determine if the safety program has been effective in reducing the average number of accidents per day, a random sample of 30 days is taken after the institution of the new safety program and the number ofaccidents per day is recorded. The sample mean and standard deviation were computedas follows:Sample mean = 3.7, standard deviation = 1.3a. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the average number of on-the-jobaccidents per day at the factory has decreased since the institution of the safetyprogram?b. What is the practical interpretation of the test statistic computed in part a?
A major car manufacturer wants to test a new engine to determine whether it meets air pollution standards. The mean emission levels of all engines must be not more than 60 parts per million (ppm) of carbon. 10 engines are manufactured for test and the sample mean and standard deviation are 61.1 ppm and 3.0 ppm respectively. Do these data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that this engine does not meet the pollution standards? Using 5% level of significance.
The sample mean weight of 200 adult vulturine parrots was measured to be 734.2 grams, with a standard deviation of 15.7 grams. Using a 10% level of significance, what could we claim about the population mean weight for all vulturine parrots so that the hypothesis will fail to be rejected?
I also need the standardized test statistic and whether it's required to reject or fail to reject the hypothesis and interpret the decision in the context of the original claim
Total blood volume (in ml) per body weight (in kg) is important in medical research. For healthy adults, the red blood cell volume mean is about µ = 28 ml/kg with a standard deviation of 4.75ml/kg. Red blood cells volume that is too low or too high can indicate a medical problem. Suppose he does a hypothesis test with a significance level of 0.01. Roger has had seven blood tests and the red blood cell volumes were: 32 25 41 35 30 37 29 Roger’s null hypothesis is that his blood tests are normal and that his alternative hypothesis is that something is wrong. Symbolically, the null and hypotheses are as follows Ho: µ = 28 ml/kg and Hi: µ ≠ 28 ml/kg What value of the test statistic (z) should he report?

Is there strong evidence of global warming? Let’s consider a small scale example, comparing how temperatures have changed in the US from 1968 to 2008. The daily high temperature reading on January 1 was collected in 1968 and 2008 for 51 randomly selected locations in the continental US. Then the difference between the two readings (temperature in 2008 - temperature in 1968) was calculated for each of the 51 different locations. The average of these 51 values was 1.1 degrees with a standard deviation of 4.9 degrees. We are interested in determining whether these data provide strong evidence of temperature warming in the continental US. (d) Calculate the test statistic and find the p-value. (e) What do you conclude? Interpret your conclusion in context. (f) Calculate a 90% confidence interval for the average difference between the temperature measurements between 1968 and 2008. Interpret this interval in context. (g) Does the confidence interval provide convincing evidence that the…
A consumer advocacy group is doing a large study on car rental practices. Among other things, the consumer group would like to estimate the mean monthly mileage, µ, of cars rented in the U.S. over the past year. The consumer group plans to choose a random sample of monthly U.S. rental car mileages and then estimate u using the mean of the sample. Using the value 850 miles per month as the standard deviation of monthly U.S. rental car mileages from the past year, what is the minimum sample size needed in order for the consumer group to be 90% confident that its estimate is within 175 miles per month of u? Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places. Write your answer as a whole number (and make sure that it is the minimum whole number that satisfies the requirements). (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.)
Do men talk less than women? The table shows results from a study of the words spoken in a day by men and women. Assume that the two samples are randomly selected, independent, the population standard deviations are not know and not considered equal. At the 0.05 significance level, test the claim that the mean number of words spoken by men is less than the mean number of words spoken by women.

Suppose the mean weight of King Penguins found in an Antarctic colony last year was 15.4 kg. In a sample of 35 penguins same time this year in the same colony, the mean penguin weight is 14.6 kg. Assume the population standard deviation is 2.5 kg. At .05 significance level, can we reject the null hypothesis that the mean penguin weight does not differ from last year? Use P-value approach.
