OA Fail to reject the null hypothesis of u = 26 with a P-value of 0.1966. There is not sufficient evidence that the mean age is less than 26 years. OB. Reject the null hypothesis of u= 26 with a P-value of 0.018. There is sufficient evidence that the mean age is less than 26 years. OC. Fail to reject the null hypothesis of u = 26 with a P-value of 0.8034. There is not sufficient evidence that the mean age is less than 26 years. O D. Reject the null hypothesis of u= 26 with a P-value of 0.0425. The evidence suggests that the mean age is less than 26 years. OE There is not enough information to perform the test.

Has the number of shoppers who wear masks changed from 2020 to 2021? There are arguments for and against this question. The mean number of masks, u, used by a shopper in Metropolis in 2020 will be compared to the mean number of masks, Hy used by a shopper in Metropolis in 2021. The true values of u, and u, are unknown. It is recognized that the true standard deviations are o, = 19 for the 2020 measurements and o, = 24 for the 2021 measurements. We take a random sample of m = 255 shoppers in 2020 and a random sample of n = 200 shoppers in 2021. The mean number of masks were x= 97 for 2020 and y= 85 for 2021. Assuming independence between the years and assuming masks used by shoppers are normally distributed we would like to estimate x - Hy. What is the standard deviation of the distribution of x? What is the standard deviation of the distribution of x - y? Create a 95% confidence interval for uy - Hy ? ) What is the length of the confidence interval in part c) ? If we let n stay at 200…

1. The strength of steel wire made by an existing process is normally distributed with a mean of 1550 and a standard deviation of 170. A batch of wire is made by a new process, and a random sample consisting of 25 measurements gives an average strength of 1316. Assume that the standard deviation does not change. Is there evidence at the 1% level of significance that the new process gives a larger mean strength than the old? To answer this question, the null hypothesis could be stated as A. μ= 1550 psi B. μ> 1550 psi C.µ + 1550 psi D. μ< 1550 psi

A manufacturer claims that their car batteries have a mean life expectancy of 6 years with a population standard deviation of 1.75 years. In order to test its own claim, a random sample of 35 batteries were tested and it was found out their mean life span is 5. 5 years. Is there evidence at the 0.01 level of significance that the batteries become exhausted in less than 6 years?

Records indicate that the mean weight of mature rainbow trout in Eagle Creek is 2.25 kg with a standard deviation of 0.53 kg. After years of marked oxygen depletion from pollutants in the creek, you want to perform a hypothesis test to see if the standard deviation, σ, of weights has changed. To do so, you measure the weights of 16 randomly chosen mature rainbow trout from the creek and find that the sample standard deviation is 0.34 kg. Under the assumption that current weights of mature rainbow trout in the creek follow a normal distribution, you will perform a chi-square test.Find χ2, the value of the test statistic for your chi-square test. Round your answer to three or more decimal places.=χ2
