Suppose that for the past several decades, daily precipitation in Seattle, Washington has had a mean of 2.4 mm and a standard deviation of 11.4 mm. Researchers suspect that in recent years, the mean amount of daily precipitation has changed, so they plan to obtain data for a random sample of 195 days over the past five years and use this data to conduct a one-sample z-test c Ho: µ = 2.4 mm against H1 # 2.4 mm, where u is the mean daily precipitation for the last five years. Although they realize that rainfall does not follow a normal distribution, they feel safe using a z-test because the sample size is large. The researchers want to know what the power of this test is to reject the null hypothesis at significance level a = 0.05 if the actual mean daily precipitation is 2.6 mm or more. Computing power by hand requires two steps. The first step is to use a significance level of 0.05 to determine the values of the sample mean for which they will reject their null hypothesis. Give your answer to the nearest 0.1 mm. The researchers will reject their null hypothesis if the sample mean is

The time it takes for a compact fluorescent bulb to reach full brightness is normally distributed with mean 29.9 seconds and standard deviation 4.1 seconds. Find and interpret the z-score for x = 26.4.
The mean pulse rate for adult males is approximately 61.4 beats per minute. In a sample of 27 overweight males, the mean pulse rate was 62.1 beats per minute with a standard deviation of 4.19 beats per minute. Test at a = 0.10 whether these findings suggest that the mean pulse rate for all such overweight males is significantly greater than 61.4. You obtain a sample of size 27 with a mean of 62.1 and a standard deviation of 4.19. You believe that the population is normally distributed. (a).

3) A study was conducted to see if increasing the substrate concentration has an appreciable effect on the velocity of a chemical reaction. With a substrate concentration of 1.5 moles per liter, the reaction was run 15 times, with an average velocity of 7.5 micromoles per 30 minutes and a standard deviation of 1.5. With a substrate concentration of 2.0 moles per liter, 12 runs were made, yielding an average velocity of 8.8 micromoles per 30 minutes and a sample standard deviation of 1.2. Is there any reason to believe that this increase in substrate concentration causes an increase in the mean velocity of the reaction of more than 0.5 micromole per 30 minutes? Use a 0.01 level of significance and assume the populations to be approximately normally distributed with equal variances

A researcher suspects the mean trough (the lowest dosage of medication required to see clinical improvement of symptoms) level for a medication used to treat arthritis is higher than was previously reported in other studies. If previous studies found the mean trough level of the population to be 3.7 micrograms/mL, and the researcher conducts a study among 93 newly diagnosed arthritis patients and finds the mean trough to be 6.1 micrograms/mL with a standard deviation of 2.4 micrograms/mL, for a level of significance of 1%, what should the researcher’s decision rule look like?
Is it more expensive to live in California or Florida? Monthly cost of living expenses for California are approximately Normal with mean μC=$10,800��=$10,800 and standard deviation σC=$3,200��=$3,200. Monthly cost of living expenses for Florida are approximately Normal with mean μF=$8,500��=$8,500 and standard deviation σF=$2,700.��=$2,700.
