An operations manager wants to know whether the maintenance of a filling machine for 2 litre milk bottles has made a difference in the average fill of the milk bottle. She randomly selects 25 bottles before the maintenance service, and 25 bottles after the maintenance service has taken place.

Bill Alther is a zoologist who studies Anna's hummingbird (Calypte anna). (Reference: Hummingbirds, K. Long, W. Alther.) Suppose that in a remote part of the Grand Canyon, a random sample of six of these birds was caught, weighed, and released. The weights (in grams) were as follows. 3.7 2.9 3.8 4.2 4.8 3.1 The sample mean is = 3.75 grams. Let x be a random variable representing weights of hummingbirds in this part of the Grand Canyon. We assume that x has a normal distribution and σ = 0.64 gram. Suppose it is known that for the population of all Anna's hummingbirds, the mean weight is μ = 4.30 grams. Do the data indicate that the mean weight of these birds in this part of the Grand Canyon is less than 4.30 grams? Use ? = 0.10. (a) What is the level of significance? (Enter a number.) State the null and alternate hypotheses. Will you use a left-tailed, right-tailed, or two-tailed test? H0: μ = 4.3 g; H1: μ > 4.3 g; right-tailed H0: μ < 4.3 g; H1: μ = 4.3 g; left-tailed…
