EXPERIMENT 1: A researcher believes that on average women weigh less today than during the renaissance period around the 15th to 16th centuries. To investigate this belief, a random sample of 41 adult wômen is chosen and their weights are recorded. The mean weight of the sample is 111 pounds with a standard deviation of 12.4 pounds. Based on historical records and paintings of women from the renaissance, it is determined that the average weight of an adult women from that period would have been about 115 pounds.

The Wall Street Journal reported that automobile crashes cost the United States $162 billion annually (The Wall Street Journal, March 5, 2008). The average cost per person for crashes in the Tampa, Florida, area was reported to be $1613. Suppose this average cost was based on a sample of 55 persons who had been involved in car crashes and that the population standard deviation is σ = 600. What would you recommend if the study required a margin of error of $150 or less?

Part 1 of 4 Victoria, an accomplished marathon runner, claims that the standard deviation for her time to run a 26.2 mile marathon is less than 17.5 minutes. To test her claim, Victoria looks up 11 of her race times (in minutes): 227.2, 233.3, 259.7, 265.8, 252.1, 228.8, 222.6, 202.9, 214.5, 237.2, 267.7 Perform a hypothesis test using a 9% level of significance to test Victoria's claim. Step 1: State the null and alternative hypotheses. 17.5 Ha:0
