In a psychological testing experiment, 100 subjects are selected randomly and their reaction time, in seconds, to a particular stimulus is measured. Past experience suggests that the population standard deviation in reaction times to these types of stimuli is 4 seconds and that the distribution of reaction times is approximately normal. The (sample) average time for the subjects is 25 seconds. Give an upper 97.5% bound (one-sided) for the mean reaction time. Write your answer with 3 digits after the decimal point. For example, 0.782 or 0.352.

The claim is that the proportion of adults who smoked a cigarette in the past week is less than 0.25 and the sample statistics include n=1150 subjects with 265 saying that they smoked a cigarette in the past week. Find the value of the test statistic.
A graduate student is interested in how viewing different types of scenes affects working memory. For his study, he selects a random sample of 36 adults. The subjects complete a series of working memory tests before and after walking in an urban setting. Before the walk, the mean score on the test of working memory was 9.1. After the walk, the mean score was 1.4 higher. The graduate student has no presupposed assumptions about how viewing different types of scenes affects working memory, so he formulates the null and alternative hypotheses as: H00 : μDD = 0 H11 : μDD ≠ 0 Assume that the data satisfy all of the required assumptions for a repeated-measures t test. The graduate student calculates the following statistics for his hypothesis test: Mean difference (MDD) 1.4 Estimated population standard deviation of the differences (s) 1.6 Estimated standard error of the mean differences (sMDMD) 0.2667 Degrees of freedom (df) 35 The t statistic 5.25 The critical values of t…
The U.S. Department of Transportation, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, reported that 77% of all fatally injured automobile drivers were intoxicated. A random sample of 52 records of automobile driver fatalities in a certain county showed that 35 involved an intoxicated driver. Do these data indicate that the population proportion of driver fatalities related to alcohol is less than 77% in Kit Carson County? Use ? = 0.10. What is the value of the sample test statistic?

A cigarette manufacturer claims that his cigarettes have nicotine content that does not exceed 2.0 milligrams. If a random sample of 10 cigarettes of this type have nicotine contents of 2.0, 2.3 1.7, 2.2, 1.9, 2.2, 2.0, 2.5, 2.1 and 1.9 milligrams, would you agree with the manufacturer's claim? a = 0.05.

Past studies have indicated that the percentage of smokers was estimated to be about 34%. Given the new smoking cessation programs that have been implemented, you now believe that the percentage of smokers has reduced. You randomly surveyed 1783 people and found that 553 smoke. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the percentage of smokers has reduced.
The number of hours per week that the television is turned on is determined for each family in a sample. The mean of the data is 31 hours and the median is 27.2hours. Twenty-four of the families in the sample turned on the television for 16 hours or less for the week. The 8th percentile of the data is 16 hours. Based on the given information, determine if the following statement is true or false. The first quartile is less than 16 hours.

Customers of a restaurant have been complaining about food poisoning over the past week. A health professional was called to investigate. He tested a representative sample of the eggs and reported that 23% of the sample eggs tested positive for the salmonella bacterium.

An adventure company runs two obstacle courses, Fundash and Coolsprint. The designer of the courses suspects that the mean completion time of Fundash is not equal to the mean completion time of Coolsprint. To test this, she selects 240 Fundash runners and 200 Coolsprint runners. (Consider these as random samples of the Fundash and Coolspring runners.) The 240 Fundash runners complete the course with a mean time of 76.7 minutes and a standard deviation of 5.2 minutes. The 200 Coolsprint runners complete the course with a mean time of 77.5 minutes and a standard deviation of 5.4 minutes. Assume that the population standard deviations of the completion times can be estimated to be the sample standard deviations, since the samples that are used to compute them are quite large. At the 0.05 level of significance, is there enough evidence to support the claim that the mean completion time, μ1 , of Fundash is not equal to the mean completion time, μ2 , of Coolsprint?…
