"D" size batteries produced by M&M Corporation have had a maximum life expectancy of 350 hours. Because of an improved production process, it is believed that there has been an increase in the life expectancy of its "D" size batteries. A sample of 81 batteries showed an average life of 354 hours with a sample standard deviation of 18 hours. a) State the null, Ho, and alternative, Ha, hypotheses for this problem if you want to determine if the improved production increased the life expectancy of the batteries b) What is your test statistic? c) Using the critical value approach, test at the 99% confidence level to determine if there was an increase in the life expectancy of the batteries? (i.e. indicate if we should reject Ho or fail to reject Ho and TS and CV comparison) In your CV comparison, include values in your comparisons and clearly label the TS value and the CV value. (If not sure of answer, GUESS REJECT OR FAIL TO REJECT) d) Based on rejecting Ho or failing to reject Ho, what is your conclusion regarding if there was an increase in the life of the batteries?

The environmental research scientists report that the exhaust emissions for a certain car model has a normal distribution with a mean of 1.45 grams of nitrous oxide per mile and a standard deviation of 0.4. The car manufacturer claims their new process reduces the mean level of exhaust emitted for this car model. A Simple random sample of 36 cars is taken and the mean level of exhaust emitted for this sample is 1.21 grams. (a) State the null and alternative hypotheses. (b) Calculate the test statistic. (c) Calculate the Zc and p-value. Draw the picture. (d) What is the decision at the 0.05 significance level?
Zappos is an online retailer based in Nevada and employs 1,300 employees. One of their competitors, Amazon.com, would like to test the hypothesis that the average age of a Zappos employee is less than 36 years old. A random sample of 22 Zappos employees was found to have an average age of 33.9 years. The standard deviation for this sample was 4.1 years. Amazon would like to set α = 0.025. The correct hypothesis statement for this hypothesis test would be A) H0: μ = 33.9; H1: μ ≠ 33.9. B) H0: μ = 36; H1: μ ≠ 36. C) H0: μ ≤ 36; H1: μ > 36. D) H0: μ ≥ 36; H1: μ < 36.
BIG Corporation advertises that its light bulbs have a mean lifetime, μ , of 2900 hours. Suppose that we have reason to doubt this claim and decide to do a statistical test of the claim. We choose a random sample of light bulbs manufactured by BIG and find that the mean lifetime for this sample is 3040 hours and that the sample standard deviation of the lifetimes is 600 hours. Based on this information, answer the questions below. What are the null hypothesis ( H0 ) and the alternative hypothesis ( H1 ) that should be used for the test? H0 : μ is H1 : μ is In the context of this test, what is a Type II error?A Type II error is the hypothesis that μ is when, in fact, μ is .Suppose that we decide to reject the null hypothesis. What sort of error might we be making?
Suppose the national average dollar amount for an automobile insurance claim is $670.543. You work for an agency in Michigan and you are interested in whether or not the state average is different from the national average. The hypotheses for this scenario are as follows: Null Hypothesis: μ = 670.543, Alternative Hypothesis: μ ≠ 670.543. A random sample of 27 claims shows an average amount of $668.645 with a standard deviation of $68.6867. What is the test statistic and p-value for this test?

The quality-control manager at a compact fluorescent light bulb (CFL) factory needs to determine whether the mean life of a large shipment of CFLs is equal to 7,508 hours. The population standard deviation is 840 hours. A random sample of 49 light bulbs indicates a sample mean life of 7,328 hours. Let μ be the population mean. Determine the null hypothesis, H0, and the alternative hypothesis, H1.
We want to conduct a hypothesis test of the claim that for middle-aged adults the population's mean of their cholesterol levels is more than 199.3 mgdL. We choose a random sample of such levels. The sample has a mean of 197.3 mgdL and a standard deviation of 19.5 mgdL. For each of the following sampling scenarios, choose an appropriate test statistic for our hypothesis test on the population mean. Then calculate that statistic. Round your answers to two decimal places. (a) The sample has size 105, and it is from a non-normally distributed population with a known standard deviation of 19.2. z = t = It is unclear which test statistic to use. (b) The sample has size 12, and it is from a normally distributed population with an unknown standard deviation. z = t = It is unclear which test statistic to use.
A Two-Sample Hypothesis TestThe mean number of English courses taken in a two-year time period by male and female college students is believed to be about the same. An experiment is conducted and data are collected from 29 males and 16 females. The males took an average of three English courses with a standard deviation of 0.8. The females took an average of four English courses with a standard deviation of 1.0. Are the means statistically the same?

One tail Scenario Your company makes lamps and is able to manufacture 100 per week with a standard deviation of 10. The new CEO says that this is too low and wants to increase production. So, he purchases a new production machine. After 49 days, the average amount of lamps produced (with the added machine) is now 115 per week. He wants to test if the new machine has made a statistically significant difference. Conduct an eight-step hypothesis test to determine if the new machine has made a statistically significant difference.
Records indicate that the mean weight of mature rainbow trout in Eagle Creek is 2.25 kg with a standard deviation of 0.53 kg. After years of marked oxygen depletion from pollutants in the creek, you want to perform a hypothesis test to see if the standard deviation, σ, of weights has changed. To do so, you measure the weights of 16 randomly chosen mature rainbow trout from the creek and find that the sample standard deviation is 0.34 kg. Under the assumption that current weights of mature rainbow trout in the creek follow a normal distribution, you will perform a chi-square test.Find χ2, the value of the test statistic for your chi-square test. Round your answer to three or more decimal places.=χ2
A researcher wanted to know whether losing one night sleep can affect problem solving. A sample of n = 25 college students was given a problem-solving task at noon on one day and again at noon on the following day. The students were not permitted any sleep between the two tests. For each student, the difference between the first and the second score was recorded: MD = 5 and standard deviation of the difference score was s = 10. Do the data indicate a significant change in problem solving ability? Use a two-tailed test with α = .01. The alternative hypothesis in words is Group of answer choices Problem solving ability improves after losing on night sleep Problem solving ability is reduced after losing one night of sleep There is no significant difference in problem solving ability between the two conditions: before and after losing one night of sleep There is a significant difference in problem solving ability between the two conditions: before and after losing one night of…

A researcher is conducting a study to determine the mean trough dosage of medication for a population. Assume a previous study was conducted for the same medication and the mean trough dose was found to be 490 mg with a standard deviation of 30 mg. If the researcher wants to be 95% confident the true mean trough dosage of the medication is within 10 mg of the true mean trough dosage, what sample size is needed if the study is predicted to have an 76% retention rate? n = 50 n = 71 n = 47 n = 104
