Let x be a random variable that represents the pH of CVS brand water. The mean of this x distribution is µ = 6.5 pH. A new company wants to sell its water at CVS locations. However, CVS management believes that the new brand will have a mean pH less than the CVS brand water. A random sample of 50 water samples were taken from this new company's water and it was found that the sample mean was 6.3 pH and the sample standard deviation was s = 0.5 pH. Do the data indicate that the new company's water has a mean pH level less than 6.5, which is the pH of the CVS brand water. Use a 5% significance level. Identify the following in your answer. 1. Identify the null Ho and alternative hypotheses H1 for the problem. 2. Identify the following: Sample statistic • Test Statistic (t): (Round to three decimal places) p - value: (Round to four places) • Calculator key used. 3. Identify the significance level and determine if you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis. 4. State your conclusion.
If the random variable of X is normally distributed with a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 10, approximately what % of all possible observed values of X will lie between 30 and 70.
The percent of fat calories that a person consumes each day is normally distributed with a mean of about 35 and a standard deviation of about ten. Suppose that 9 individuals are randomly chosen. Let X = average percent of fat calories. For the group of 9, find the probability that the average percent of fat calories consumed is more than six. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
Assume that adults have IQ scores that are normally distributed with a mean of μ=105 and a standard deviation σ=15. Find the probability that a randomly selected adult has an IQ less than 123.
Suppose the horses in a large stable have a mean weight of 873lbs, and variance of 17,161. What is the probability that the mean weight of the sample of horses would differ from the population mean by less than 15lbs if 50 horses are sampled at random from the stable? Round your answer to four decimal places.

Suppose that the duration of a particular type of criminal trial is known to be normally distributed with a mean of 20 days and a standard deviation of 5 days. Let X be the number of days for a randomly selected trial. Round all answers to 4 decimal places where possible.
Roy and Jennie are looking for a company to help plan their wedding. Company A charges an amount based on the cost function, C=Vn+F, where C is the total cost, V is the variable cost, F is the fixed cost, and n is the number of people who attend the wedding. Suppose n is a random variable with a mean of 47 and a standard deviation of 8. Also V=40 and F=2500. (Round your answers to the nearest dollar.) (a) What is the mean for the total cost? (b) What is the standard deviation for the total cost?
