The Tennessee Health Department is concerned about average baby length. We know that the national baby birth length average is 20 inches. In our 2019-2022 cohort (n=613,836), we found that the Shelby County babies were on average 19.1 inches with a variance of 1.44 inches. Use hypothesis testing to determine if this is different from the national average (use significance level of 0.05).

An intercity bus company is attempting to improve the reliability of its service. One manager claims that the variability (i.e., standard deviation) in arrivals from the posted schedule at the central bus depot is approximately 3 minutes. Another manager disagrees, suspecting that the spread in times of arrival is different. Using variance, what is the population parameter under consideration? What hypotheses should the managers test in this situation?
