*In a research report, Richard H. Weindruch of the UCLA Medical School claims that mice with an average life span of 32 months will live to be about 40 months old when 40% of the calories in their diet are replaced by vitamins and protein. Is there any reason to believe that µ< 45 if n = 25 mice that are placed on this diet have an average life of x = 35 months with a standard deviation s = 5. 8 months? a = 0.01 (Be careful about n value.) 13.

Consumer agencies claim that the mean lifespan of a dishwasher is 9.5 years. Your company manufacturers dishwasher and you have been asked to see if this claim is true. You randomly survey 20 households who have recently purchased a dishwasher and ask them how long their previous dishwashers lasted and you calculate a mean of 8.9 years with a standard deviation of 3.1. Is the consumer agency’s claim that a dishwasher lasts 9.5 year correct? What is the p-value for this claim? Consumer agencies claim that the mean lifespan of a dishwasher is 9.5 years.

2) The manufacturer of a certain brand of automobiles component claims that mean life of these component is 70 months. An independent agency wants to check this claim and took a random sample of 40 components and found that the mean life for this sample is 67 months with a standard deviation of 5 months. At 5% LOS, can we conclude that the mean life of these component is less than 70 months?

A psychologist is studying smokers' self-images, which she measures by the self-image (SI) score from a personality inventory. For adults in the U.S., the mean SI score from this inventory is about 150. The psychologist gathers a random sample of 16 SI scores of smokers and finds that their mean is 130 and their standard deviation is 31. Assume that the population of SI scores of smokers is normally distributed with mean μ. Based on the sample, can the psychologist conclude that μ is different from 150? Use the 0.05 level of significance. Perform a two-tailed test. Then fill in the table attached. Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places and round your answers as specified in the table.
