The accuracy of a coin-counter machine is gauged to accept nickels with a mean diameter of millimeters 21.21 mm. A sample of 44 nickles was drawn from a reported defective coin-counter machine located near a school. The sample had a sample mean of 21.213 mm and sample standard deviation 0.008 mm. Test the claim that the mean nickel diameter accepted by this coin-counter machine is greater than 21.21 mm. Test at the 0.01 significance level.

5. A manufacturing company produces metal pipes with a desired width of 2.5 cm. Due to machine error, the pipes vary somewhat from this target. The company takes a sample of 100 pipes produced. The observed mean pipe width was approximately 2.502 and the sample standard deviation was 0.00932. The company also determined that the cutoff measurement for the widest 2.5% of pipes that were observed is 2.519. a. The research department of the company believes that the width of the pipes is normally distributed, with a mean of 2.5 cm and a standard deviation of 0.01. If that is the case, what should the cutoff be for the widest 2.5% of pipes be? b. Using any of the information above, do you think the research department's beliefs about the distribution of the tube widths are plausible? Explain your reasoning. (Hint: How do the observed mean, standard deviation, and percentile cutoffs compare to the research's teams baseline assumptions?)
In a metal fabrication process, metal rods are produced to a specified target length of EXACTLY 10 feet. Suppose that the lengths are normally distributed. A quality control specialist collects a random sample of 25 rods and finds the sample mean length to be 9.8 feet and a sample standard deviation of 1.5 feet. What is the STANDARD ERROR of the MEAN (S.E.(xbar))? Select an answer and submit.

Are older men shorter than younger men? According to a national report, the mean height for U.S. men is inches. In a sample of men between the ages of and , the mean height was inches. Public health officials want to determine whether the mean height for older men is less than the mean height of all adult men. Assume the population standard deviation to be . Use the level of significance and the -value method with the TI-84 calculator. find p value find t value reject or do not reject make conclusion
Clark Heter is an industrial engineer at Lyons Products. He would like to determine whether there are more units produced on the night shift than on the day shift. The mean number of units produced by a sample of 60 day-shift workers was 352. The mean number of units produced by a sample of 64 night-shift workers was 362. Assume the population standard deviation of the number of units produced on the day shift is 24 and 31 on the night shift. Using the 0.02 significance level, is the number of units produced on the night shift larger? Required: a. State the null and alternate hypotheses. b. Compute the test statistic. (Negative values should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.) c. Compute the p-value. NOTE: P-value calculators are available through online search. (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)
The amount of sugar was measured for a sample of 30 different breakfast cereals. The sample mean amount of sugar was 10.4 g per serving with a sample standard deviation of 5.3 g. The lowest amount of sugar was 1.6 g for Rice Chex cereal. Calculate the z score for the sugar in Rice Chex cereal and round to the second decimal position (hundredths).
The inspection division of the Lee Country Weights and Measures Department are interested in estimating the population mean of the amount of soft drink that is placed in 2 quart battles at the local bottling plant of a large nationally known soft-drink company. A random sample of 25 bottles is taken and results in a sample mean of 1.98 quarts and a sample starndard deviation of 25 quarts. Construst/interpret a 95% interval for population mean amount of soft drink in the bottles
Suppose 190 geology students measure the mass of an ore sample. Due to human error and limitations in the reliability of the balance, not all the readings are equal. The results are found to closely approximate a normal curve, with mean 82 g and standard deviation 1 g. Use the symmetry of the normal curve and the empirical rule as needed to estimate the number of students reporting readings more than 82 g. Click here to see page 1 of the table for areas under the standard normal curve. Click here to see page 2 of the table for areas under the standard normal curve. The number of students reporting readings more than 82 g is (Round to the nearest whole number as needed.)
