- A survey found that the mean commute time is 25.4 minutes for the fifteen largest U.S. cities.The Austin, TX, chamber of commerce feels that Austin's commute time is less. A survey of 25 randomly selected commuters had a mean of 22.1 minutes with a standard deviation of 5.3 minutes. At the 10% level, does the survey data suggest that Austin commute time is significantly less than the national average? Your answer should have the following: 1). Null hypothesis:2). Alternative hypothesis: 3). Test Type: P-testIn a test of the effectiveness of garlic for lowering cholesterol, 64 subjects were treated with raw garlic. Cholesterol levels were measured before and after the treatment. The changes (before minus after) in their levels of LDL cholesterol (in mg/dL) have a mean of 0.4 and a standard deviation of 23.9. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that with garlic treatment, the mean change in LDL cholesterol is greater than 0.

The mean was found to be 16 bottles with a standard deviation of 4 bottles. The health authorities’ guidelines advise that it is healthy for people to consume fewer than 12 bottles a week. What proportion of the population did so? It is desirable to consume between 12 and 18 bottles of alcohol a week. What proportion of people was within this range? It is known that it is dangerous to consume more than 25 bottles a week. How many adults out of a sample of 200 over consumed alcohol?
- A pharmaceutical company needs to know if its new cholesterol drug, Praxor, is effective at lowering cholesterol levels. It believes that people who take Praxor will average a greater decrease in cholesterol level than people taking a placebo. After the experiment is complete, the researchers find that the 46 participants in the treatment group lowered their cholesterol levels by a mean of 19.5 points with a standard deviation of 4.9 points. The 37 participants in the control group lowered their cholesterol levels by a mean of 18.4 points with a standard deviation of 4.1 points. Assume that the population variances are not equal and test the company's claim at the 0.02 level. Let the treatment group be Population 1 and let the control group be Population 2. Step 2 of 3: Compute the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to three decimal places.An editor for a large book distributor claims the mean time required to write a textbook is at least 32 months. A sample of 49 textbook authors found that the mean time taken to write a textbook was 35 months with a standard deviation of 6.8 months.

- It is commonly believed that the mean body temperature of a healthy adult is 98.6°F. You are not entirely convinced. You believe that it is not 98.6° F. You collected data using 52 healthy people and found that they had a mean body temperature of 98.25° F with a standard deviation of 1.2° F. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the mean body temperature of a healthy adult is not 98.6°F. a) kdentify the null and alternative hypotheses? Họ:p=v 98.6 H.: pIn one city, the average amount of time that tenth-graders spend watching television each week is 23 hours. The principal of Birchwood High School believes it is less for the 10th grade students that at his school. For a sample of 95 tenth-graders from the school, the mean amount of time spent watching television per week was 21.9 hours. Assuming a population standard deviation of 3.1 hours, does the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that for all tenth-graders at Birchwood High school, the mean amount of time spent watching television per week is less than the city average of 23 hours? Perform the appropriate hypothesis test using a significance level of 0.005. What are the hypotheses? What is the test statistic? Is it a z or a t? Find the P-value for this test statistic. How does it compare to the significance level? On the normal curve, indicate the location of the test statistic and the p-value.
