Experience has shown that the weight of lemons produced by an orchard is normally distributed, with an average weight (µ) of 50g and a standard deviation (σ) of 8.50g. A sample of 115 of these oranges is randomly selected. Q.3.2.2 What is the probability that the mean weight of the lemons in the sample lies between 49g and 50.50g? Interpret your answer

A magazine claims that the mean amount spent by a customer at Burger Stop is greater than the mean amount spent by a customer at Fry World. The results for samples of customer transactions for the two fast food restaurants are shown below. a= 0.10, can you support the magazine's claim? Assume the population variances are equal. Assume the samples are random and independent, and the populations are normally distributed. Complete parts (a) through (e) below.

ANSWER IN T-DISTRIBUTION. A group of mathematics teachers wants to estimate the average computational skills of the students in senior high school. the standard deviation from the previous study is 5. how large must the sample be selected if they want to have 95% confidence of finding whether the true mean differs from the sample mean by 3.
H2 Researchers conducted a study to determine whether magnets are effective in treating back pain. The results are shown in the table for the treatment (with magnets) group and the sham (or placebo) group. The results are a measure of reduction in back pain. Assume that the two samples are independent simple random samples selected from normally distributed populations, and do not assume that the population standard deviations are equal. Complete parts (a) and (b) below. 23 23 0.51 0.41 0.67 1.48 a. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that those treated with magnets have a greater mean reduction in pain than those given a sham treatment. What are the null and alternative hypotheses?

1J,000 Source: Chronicle of Higher Education. 17. Medical Operations The director of a medical hospital feels that her surgeons perform fewer operations per year than the national average of 211. She selected a random sample of 15 surgeons and found that the mean number of operations they performed was 208.8. The standard deviation of the sample was 3.8. Is there enough evidence to support the director's feelings at a= 0.10? Would the null hypothesis be rejected at a = 0.01? 18. Cell Phone Call Lengths The average local cell phone call length was reported to be 2.27 minutes. A random sample of 20 phone calls showed an average of 2.98 minutes in length with a standard deviation of 0.98 minute.
