“The average production of corn in the Philippines is 3,000 kgs. A new plan for food has been developed and is tested on 60 plots. The mean yield with the new plan on food is 3,200 kgs with a standard deviation of 600 kgs. At α = 0.05 level of significance, can you conclude that the production increased?” What test statistic is to be used on the given problem? a. t-test b. z-test c. left-tailed test d. right-tailed test

Given a normally distributed data, what is the area of the region less than one standard deviationabove the mean and more than three standard deviations above the mean?
Aspirin is packed in 120 tab bottles with weight normally distributed with mean 600g and standard deviation 6g. Rejected bottles are those whose weight differs from the mean weight by 15g or more. That is, rejected bottles have weight either too small or too large. We want to find out how many bottles will be rejected from a daily production of 5000 bottles. 1,Do we have to calculate one z-score or two z-scores? 2. The negative z-score is 3. The positive z-score is 4.How many bottles, of the 5000, do we anticipate to have to reject?
On a measure of running speed on a 100 meter dash, students received timed scores ranging from 12 seconds to 24 seconds. The distribution of running times is normative with a mean of 16 seconds. Transferring this ratio data to standard scores for comparison with the results of classes from other departments, the mean score is assigned a standard score of 100 with a standard deviation of 10. From this example, a standard score of 99 would mean the actual value in seconds for an individual would be about a. 16 b. 12 c. 19 d. 24
The mean and standard deviation of Carbon concentration is 5 mg/L and 2 mg/L based on 25 samples from a river. The mean and standard deviation of Nitrogen concentration is 7 mg/L and 3 mg/L based on 35 samples from the same river. The experimenter wants to answer the question if the Nitrogen concentration is higher than the Carbon concentration. Which of the following methods do you use? Z-test, Default Procedure Z-test, Pooled Variance Procedure T-test, Pooled Variance Procedure T-test, Default Procedure
In what percentile is an infant’s body weight of 7 pounds, if infant body weights at that age are normally distributed with mean 11 pounds, and standard deviation 2 pounds?
In a test of the effectiveness of garlic for lowering cholesterol, 50 subjects were treated with garlic in a processed tablet form. Cholesterol levels were measured before and after the treatment. The changes in their levels of LDL cholesterol (in mg/dL) have a mean of 3.2 and a standard deviation of 18.5. Complete parts (a) and (b) below. a) What is the best point estimate of the population mean net change in LDL cholesterol after the garlic treatment? b) Construct a 90% confidence interval estimate of the mean net change in LDL cholesterol after the garlic treatment. What does the confidence interval suggest about the effectiveness of garlic in reducing LDL cholesterol? What is the confidence interval estimate of the population mean μ?
In 16 women with diabetes, the morning blood sugar mean was 49.4 with a standard deviation of 24.0. In normal healthy women, the mean was 47.0. From the sample information, can we conclude that the blood sugar mean in women with rheumatoid arthritis is greater than that in normal women? Assume a significance level of 0.05.

The valve pressure was tested on 250 engines and the mean pressure was 5.9 lbs/square inch. Assume the variance is known to be 0.36. If the valve was designed to produce a mean pressure of 5.8 lbs/square inch, is there sufficient evidence at the 0.02 level that the valve performs about the specifications?
