A random sample of 36 of their gas stations is selected and the average price is determined to be OMR 0.945 per gallon. Furthermore, assume that the population standard deviation is OMR O.024. Then at 5% significance level the null hypothesis that the average gasoline price of OMR O.95 is rejected. Select one: O True O False

Suppose the mean height of women age 20 years or older in a certain country is 62.2 inches. One hundred randomly selected women in a certain city had a mean height of 61.7 inches. At the 1% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean height of women in the city differs from the national mean? Assume that the population standard deviation of the heights of women in the city is 3.9 inches. Set up the hypotheses for the one-mean z-test.

A certain breed of rat shows a mean weight gain of 65g during the first 3 months of life. A random sample of 34 rats of this breed are fed a new diet from birth until age 3 months. These 34 rats have a mean weight gain of 60.75g and a standard deviation of 3.84g. We are interested in testing whether there is reason to believe, at the 0.05 significance level, that the new diet is causing a change in the average amount of weight gained in this breed of rats. By comparing the test statistic and the critical value, what conclusion can we draw at the 0.05 significance level? Since the test statistic is more extreme than the critical value, we reject the null hypothesis. We have statistically significant evidence to conclude that average weight gain during the first 3 months of a certain breed of rat's life on the new diet is not equal to 65g. Since the test statistic is NOT more extreme than the critical value, we fail to reject the null hypothesis. We do not have statistically significant…
A comparison is made between two bus lines to determine if arrival times of their regular buses from Denver to Durango are off schedule by the same amount of time. For 51 randomly selected runs, bus line A was observed to be off schedule an average time of 53 minutes, with standard deviation 15 minutes. For 60 randomly selected runs, bus line B was observed to be off schedule an average of 60 minutes, with standard deviation 11 minutes. Do the data indicate a significant difference in average off-schedule times? Use a 5% level of significance.

For a certain knee surgery, a mean recovery time of 13 weeks is typical. With a new style of physical therapy, a researcher claims that the mean recovery time, μ, is less than 13 weeks. In a random sample of 32 knee surgery patients who practiced this new physical therapy, the mean recovery time is 12.8 weeks. Assume that the population standard deviation of recovery times is known to be 1.1 weeks. Is there enough evidence to support the claim that the mean recovery time of patients who practice the new style of physical therapy is less than 13 weeks?

According to the norms established for a history test, Grade 8 students should have an average of 81.7 with standard deviation of 8.5. If 100 randomly selected grade 8 students from a certain school district average 79.6 in this test, can we conclude that at 0.05 level of significance that Grade 8 students from this school district can be expected to have a different average than the norm of 81.7?
Managers at an automobile manufacturing plant would like to examine the mean completion time, μ, of an assembly line operation. The past data indicate that the mean completion time is 44 minutes, but the managers have good reason to believe that this value has changed. The managers plan to perform a statistical test. After choosing a random sample of assembly line completion times, the managers compute the sample mean completion time to be 40 minutes. The standard deviation of the population of completion times can be assumed not to have changed from the previously reported value of 3 minutes. Based on this information, complete the parts below. (a) What are the null hypothesis H and the alternative hypothesis H₁ that should be used for the test? Ho H₁ : 0 (b) Suppose that the managers decide not to reject the null hypothesis. What sort of error might they be making? (Choose one) (c) Suppose the true mean completion time for the assembly line operation is 38 minutes. Fill in the blanks…
