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 13 wheels of Gouda and finds the mean is 1.2 lb with a standard deviation of 0.37 lb; she then randomly samples 11 wheels of Brie and finds a mean of 1.06 lb and a standard deviation of 0.33 lb. What is the p-value for Heidi's hypothesis of equality? Assume normality. (Give your answer correct to four decimal places.)

A boat capsized and sank in a lake. Based on an assumption of a mean weight of 134 lb, the boat was rated to carry 70 passengers (so the load limit was 9,380 lb). After the boat sank, the assumed mean weight for similar boats was changed from 134 lb to 171 lb. Complete parts a and b below. a. Assume that a similar boat is loaded with 70 passengers, and assume that the weights of people are normally distributed with a mean of 182.9 lb and a standard deviation of 35.2 lb. Find the probability that the boat is overloaded because the 70 passengers have a mean weight greater than 134 lb. The probability is| (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
A real estate company, We Rent Houses, regularly conducts survey for average rents in Tampa Bay Area. According to its latest survey, the sample mean rent in 2019 was $950 for Pasco County and $1160 in Hillsborough County. Assume the survey sampled rents for 160 rental units in each County. Also, assume the standard deviation in rents based on the survey was $175 in Pasco County and $230 in Hillsborough County. Compute the valued mannually. a. Calculate a 95% confidence interval for the population mean rent for Hillsborough County. Provide an interpretation of the confidence interval. b. Calculate a 95% confidence interval for the population mean for Pasco County. Interpret. c. Is it possible that the population mean rent in Pasco County is higher than that in Hillsborough County? Explain.

A boat capsized and sank in a lake. Based on an assumption of a mean weight of 142 lb, the boat was rated to carry 60 passengers (so the load limit was 8,520 lb). After the boat sank, the assumed mean weight for similar boats was changed from 142 lb to 171 lb. Complete parts a and b below. a. Assume that a similar boat is loaded with 60 passengers, and assume that the weights of people are normally distributed with a mean of 178.5 lb and a standard deviation of 36.9 lb. Find the probability that the boat is overloaded because the 60 passengers have a mean weight greater than 142 lb. The probability is 1.000. (Round to four decimal places as needed.) C.. b. The boat was later rated to carry only 13 passengers, and the load limit was changed to 2,223 lb. Find the probability that the boat is overloaded because the mean weight of the passengers is greater than 171 (so that their total weight is greater than the maximum capacity of 2,223 lb). The probability is. (Round to four decimal…
A parenting magazine reports that the average amount of wireless data used by teenagers each month is 5 Gb. For her science fair project, Ella sets out to prove the magazine wrong. She claims that the mean among teenagers in her area is less than reported. Ella collects information from a simple random sample of 25 teenagers at her high school, and calculates a mean of 4.7 Gb per month with a standard deviation of 0.9 Gb per month. Assume that the population distribution is approximately normal. Test Ella's claim at the 0.01 level of significance. Step 3 of 3: Draw a conclusion and interpret the decision. E Tables E Keypad Answer Keyboard Shortcuts We reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is sufficient evidence at a 0.01 level of significance that the average amount of wireless data used by teenagers each month is less than 5 Gb.
