A manufacturer of chocolate chips would like to know whether its bag filling machine works correctly at the 409 gram setting. It is believed that the machine is underfilling the bags. A 35 bag sample had a mean of 407407 grams. Assume the population variance is known to be 324. A level of significance of 0.02 will be used. State the null and alternative hypotheses.
A manufacturer of bolts has a quality control policy that requires it to destroy any bolts that are more than 2 standard deviations from the mean. A sample of 15 bolts were tested and their variance was recorded to be 10. Stating any assumptions you need to make, test, at the 5% level, whether the bolts are meeting the established standard.
When 40 people used the Weight Watchers dies for one year, their mean weight loss was 3.0 lb and the standard deviation was 4.9 lb. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the mean weight loss is greater than 0. (Show the solution) A. The null hypothesis is i. The mean weight loss is equal to 0. ii. The mean weight loss is not equal to 0. iii. The mean weight loss is greater than 0. iv. The mean weight loss is less than 0. B. The computed t-test statistic is i. 4.468 ii. 4.977 iii. 3.872 iv. 3.391 C. The critical/tabular t-test statistic is i. 2.426 ii. 1.684 iii. 1.685 iv. 2.423 D. Decision rule: i. Do not reject the null hypothesis. ii. Reject the null hypothesis. E. The final conclusion is i. The mean weight loss is not equal to 0 therefore Weight Watchers is effective. ii. The mean weight loss is less than 0 therefore Weight Watchers is not effective. iii. The mean weight loss is equal to 0 therefore Weight Watchers…
For a random sample of 36 data pairs, the sample mean of the differences was 0.77. The sample standard deviation of the differences was 2. At the 5% level of significance, test the claim that the population mean of the differences is different from 0.
The National Center for Education Statistics surveyed 4400 college graduates about the lengths of time required to earn their bachelor's degrees. The mean is 5.15 years, and the standard deviation is 1.68 years. Based enthuse sample data, construct the 99% confidence interval for the mean time required by all college graduates. left left: right:
A common idea is that people can temporarily postponed death to survive a major holiday or important event. A study found that there were 6907 deaths before Thanksgiving and 5739 deaths after Thanksgiving. Test the claim at the 0.05 significance level that the proportion of deaths in the week before Thanksgiving is less that 0.5. Based on your result, does it appear that peole can temporarily postpone death to survive the Thanksgiving holiday?
Professor Nord stated that the mean score on the final exam from all the years he has been teaching is a 79%. Colby was in his most recent class, and his class’s mean score on the final exam was 82%. Colby decided to run a hypothesis test to determine if the mean score of his class was significantly greater than the mean score of the population. α = .01. What is the mean score of the population? What is the mean score of the sample? Is this test one-tailed or two-tailed? Why?
The mean potassium content of a popular sports drink is listed as 132 mg in a 32-oz bottle. Analysis of 24 bottles indicates a sample mean of 131.2 mg. (a) State the hypotheses for a two-tailed test of the claimed potassium content.. a. Ho: μ= 132 mg vs. H₁: b. He: ≤132 mg vs. H₁: c. He: ≥132 mg vs. H₁: Oa Ob Oc (b) Assuming a known standard deviation of 2.1 mg, calculate the z test statistic to test the manufacturer's claim. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places. A negative value should be indicated by a minus sign.) Test statistic 132 mg >132 mg <132 mg (c) At the 2 percent level of significance (a = .02) does the sample contradict the manufacturer's claim? Decision Rule: Reject Ho

A coin-operated coffee machine made by BIG Corporation was designed to discharge a mean of 7.1 ounces of coffee per cup. If it dispenses more than that on average, the corporation may lose money, and if it dispenses less, the customers may complain. Believing that the mean amount of coffee dispensed by the machine, µ, is less than 7.1 ounces, BIG plans to do a statistical test of the claim that the machine is working as designed. Technicians gather a random sample of fill amounts and find that the mean of the sample is 6.7 ounces and that the standard deviation is 0.4 ounces. Based on this information, answer the questions below.
In the US, the average one-way commuting time is 26.4 minutes. Is this different in Atlanta? One survey of 35 Atlanta commuters found an average one-way commuting time of 30.7 minutes. (a) The test statistic is 1.1846. What is the meaning of this test statistic? The average error between different sample results and the hypothesized mean is 1.1846.The current sample result is 1.1846 standard errors above the hypothesized mean. The maximum error between different sample results and the hypothesized mean is 1.1846. (b) Based on the test statistic of 1.1846, what is the p-value to test if the average commuting time in Atlanta is different than the rest of the US? (4 decimals.) (c) On the basis of the above p-value, what can be said regarding a 95% confidence interval for the true average commuting time? The interval contain the value 26.4, because this value . (d) Suppose the sample size was increased to 120 Atlanta commuters, with other values remaining the same. How would…
