It has long been stated that the mean temperature of humans is 98.6°F. However, two researchers currently involved in the subject thought that the mean temperature of humans is less than 98.6°F. They measured the temperatures of 50 healthy adults 1 to 4 times daily for 3 days, obtaining 225 measurements. The sample data resulted in a sample mean of 98.3°F and a sample standard deviation of 1°F. Use the P-value approach to conduct a hypothesis test to judge whether the mean temperature of humans is less than 98.6°F at the a = 0.01 level of significance. State the hypotheses. Ho = 98.6°F H1 < 98.6°F Find the test statistic to =-0 41 (Round to two decimal places as needed) The P-value is 341 (Round to three decimal places as needed.) What can be concluded? O A. Reject Ho since the P-value is not less than the significance level 2 O B. Do not reiect Hn since the P-value is less than the sianificance level.

Heather recently switched her primary doctor to ane specializing in caring for elderly patients. On her new doctor's website, It says that the mean systolic blood pressure among elderly females is 115 millimeters of mercury (mmHg). Heather believes the value is actually higher. She bases her belief on a recently reported study of 14 randomily selected, elderly females. The sample mean systolic blood pressure was 128 mmHg, and the sample standard deviation was 23 mmHg. Assume that the systolic bload pressures of elderly females are approximately normally distributed. Based on the study, at the 0.10 level of significance, can it be concluded that H, the population mean systolic blood pressure among elderly females, is greater than 115 mmHg? Perform a one-talled test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) state the null hypothesis H, and the alternative hypothesis H. H :0 H :0…
The published proportion of traffic fatalities attributed to motorcycle accidents is 0.14. A statistician sets up a study because he wants to find ways to reduce fatality rates from motorcycle accidents. For what sample size, n, will the sampling distribution of sample proportions have a standard deviation of 0.03?
Homeowners claim that the mean speed of automobiles travelling on the street is AT LEAST 35 miles per hour. They are demanding the creation of bumps on the road. This will cost the county $100,000. As the county inspector you want to be sure it is worth the money so you randomly sample of 100 automobiles and derive a mean speed of 36 miles per hour and a population standard deviation of 4 miles per hour. Is there enough evidence to support their claim at alpha = 0.05?State Ho and Ha--What kind of test is it?What is the p-value?- Interpret the results
A manufacturer of chocolate chips would like to know whether its bag filling machine works correctly at the 435 gram setting. It is believed that the machine is underfilling the bags. A 35 bag sample had a mean of 427 grams. Assume the population standard deviation is known to be 17. A level of significance of 0.05 will be used. State the null and alternative hypotheses.
An automobile manufacturer claims that its van has a 36.7 miles/gallon (MPG) rating. An independent testing firm has been contracted to test the MPG for this van since it is believed that the van has an incorrect manufacturer's MPG rating. After testing 140 vans, they found a mean MPG of 37.0. Assume the standard deviation is known to be 1.4. A level of significance of 0.05 will be used. Find the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Enter the value of the test statistic. Answer How to enter your answer (opens in new window) Keypad Keyboard Shortcuts Tables
Many cheeses are produced in the shape of a wheel. Because of the differences in consistency between these different types of cheese, the amount of cheese, measured by weight, varies from wheel to wheel. Heidi Cembert wishes to determine whether there is a significant difference, at the 10% level, between the weight per wheel of Gouda and Brie cheese. She randomly samples 18 wheels of Gouda and finds the mean is 1.3 lb with a standard deviation of 0.3 lb; she then randomly samples 10 wheels of Brie and finds a mean of 0.95 lb and a standard deviation of 0.21 lb. What is the df and p-value for Heidi's hypothesis of equality? Assume normality. (Give your answer correct to four decimal places.)
The mean consumption of water per household in a city was 1244 cubic feet per month. Due to a water shortage because of a drought, the city council campaigned for water use conservation by households. A few months after the campaign was started, the mean consumption of water for a sample of 96 households was found to be 1164 cubic feet per month. The population standard deviation is given to be 257 cubic feet. a. Find the p-value for the hypothesis test that the mean consumption of water per household has decreased due to the campaign by the city council. Would you reject the null hypothesis at a = 0.025? Round your answer to four decimal places. p-value = We i b. Make the test of part a using the critical-value approach and a = 0.025. Zobserved Round your answer for z to two decimal places.

A factory that manufactures screws is performing a quality control experiment. Each object should have a length of no more than 13 centimeters. The factory believes that the length of the screws exceeds this value and measures the length of 70 screws. The sample mean screw length was 13.01 centimeters. The population standard deviation is known to be σ=0.15 centimeters. What is the null hypothesis? What is the alternative hypothesis?
In a randoms sample of six people, the mean driving distance to work was 19.7 miles and the standard deviation was 6.1 miles. Assume the population is normally distributed and use the t-distribution to find the margin of error and construct a 90% confidence interval for the population mean u. Interpret the results.
The daily sleep duration among college students is normally distributed with a mean of 7.13 hours and standard deviation of 1.67 hours. You want to use a sample size such that 95% of the averages fall within ±15±15 minutes (.25 of an hour) of the true mean of 7.13 hours. Determine the smallest number of students you need to sample.
Sony would like to test the hypothesis that the average age of a PlayStation user is different from the average age of an Xbox user. A random sample of 32 PlayStation users had an average age of 33.7 years while a random sample of 36 Xbox users had an average age of 35.6 years. Assume that the population standard deviation for the age of PlayStation and Xbox users is 3.7 and 3.5 years, respectively. Also assume population variances are equal. Sony would like to set alpha= 0.05. The 95% confidence interval for the difference in population means is
Scores on a standarized exam are known to follow a normal distribution with a standard deviation of 5. A researcher finds a random sample of 25 exam scores has a mean score of 72. Use this to find a 88% confidence interval for the mean exam score of all students taking the exam.
