manufacturer claims that the machines filling a one-gallon container of milk are set to fill the container with an average of 128 fluid ounces of milk. A consumer believes that the machine is filling the containers with less than 128 fluid ounces, on average. Which of the following would be appropriate hypotheses for the consumer to test?

A random sample of 16 statistics examinations from a large population was taken. The average score in the sample was 78.6 with a sample variance of 64. We are interested in testing whether the average grade of the population is significantly more than 75. Assume the distribution of the population of grades is normal. The critical value of the test at 5% level is A. 1.645 B. 2.131 C. 1.96 D. 1.753
An automobile manufacturer claims that the average gas mileage of a new model is 35 miles per gallon (mpg). A consumer group is skeptical of this claim and thinks the manufacturer may be overstating the average gas mileage. If µ represents the true average gas mileage for this new model, which of the following gives the null and alternative hypotheses that the consumer group should test?
The national average SAT score is roughly 1500. We would like to see if the high school seniors who apply to Duke have higher than average SAT scores. We randomly sample 100 applicants' files and record their SAT scores. Which of the following is the correct set of hypotheses for this research question? Hint: think about how many samples we have data from.

A random sample of 500 adult residents of Maricopa County found that 361 were in favor of increasing the highway speed limit to 75 mph, while another sample of 400 adult residents of Pima County found that 292 were in favor of the increased speed limit. Do these data indicate that there is a difference in the support for in increasing the speed limit between the residents of the two counties? Use a = 0.05.

A car manufacturer claims that its latest model can average 60 miles per gallon on the highway - and an auto magazine's editor wants to put that claim to the test. (a) Write the null hypothesis for this situation. (b) Write the alternate hypothesis, if the editor wants to prove that the actual miles per gallon is lower than what's being claimed. (c) Write the alternate hypothesis, if the editor wants to prove that the actual miles per gallon is simply different from what's being claimed.
A machine in a factory is supposed to fill vials with approximately 50mL of a liquid. The quality control manager wants to test whether the machine is working properly. If the machine is found to be over or under-filling then the assembly line will need to be shut down so that it can be recalibrated. A. State the Null and Alternative hypothesis to the scenario using the correct symbols B. What would it mean to mean to make a Type 1 erryin this situation? C. What would it mean to make a Type 2 error in this situation? D. Why might it be worse toale a Type 1 error in this scenario? E. Suppose that we fail to reject the null hypothesis. Write a conclusion statement in the context of the problem. Assume no errors were made.
An inspector inspects large truckloads of potatoes to determine the proportion p in the shipment with major defects prior to using the potatoes to make potato chips. Unless there is clear evidence that this proportion is less than 0.10, she will reject the shipment. To reach a decision, she will test the hypotheses Ho: p=0.10, Ha p<0.10 To do so, she selects an SRS of 150 potatoes from the more than 3000 potatoes on the truck. Suppose that six of the potatoes sampled are found to have major defects. Which of the following assumptions for inference about a proportion, using a hypothesis test, are violated? O The data are an SRS from the population of interest. O There appear to be no violations. O The population is at least 10 times as large as the sample. n is so large that both npo and n(1-Po) are 10 or more, where po is the proportion with major defects, if the null hypothesis is true.
