The Crown Bottling Company has just installed a new bottling process that will fill 7-ounce bottles of the popular Crown Classic Cola soft drink. Both overfilling and underfilling bottles are undesirable: Underfilling leads to customer complaints and overfilling costs the company considerable money. In order to verify that the filler is set up correctly, the company wishes to see whether the mean bottle fill, u, is close to the target fill of 7 ounces. To this end, a random sample of 36 filled bottles is selected from the output of a test filler run. If the sample results cast a substantial amount of doubt on the hypothesis that the mean bottle fill is the desired 7 ounces, then the filler's initial setup will be readjusted. The bottling company wants to set up a hypothesis test so that the filler will be readjusted if the null hypothesis is rejected. Set up the null and alternative hypotheses for this hypothesis test.

According to the National Automobile Dealers Association, the mean price for used cars is $10,192. A manager of a Kansas City used car dealership reviewed a sample of 50 recent used car sales at the dealership in an attempt to determine whether the population mean price for used cars at this particular dealership is below the national mean. The prices for the sample of 50 cars are shown in the file named UsedCars. 12400 10400 12100 10000 11000 8895 7675 9975 6350 10470 9895 11250 8795 12500 9340 10150 9200 9395 11000 10640 10000 7500 8000 10440 10200 10300 9740 9280 10930 8000 9000 7680 9400 10730 7350 12240 11970 8240 9910 10080 9440 8970 9500 10050 10130 11400 8500 7500 9090 10500 d.

A cruise ship charges passengers $3 for a can of soda. Because of passenger complaints, the ship manager has decided to try out a plan with a lower price. He thinks that with a lower price, more cans will be sold, which would mean that the ship would still make a reasonable total profit. With the old pricing, the mean number of cans sold per passenger for a 10-day trip was 10.3 cans. Suppose μ represents the mean number of cans per passenger for the new pricing. What hypotheses should the ship manager test if he wants to determine if the mean number of cans sold is greater for the new pricing plan? O Ho: μ = 10.3 versus H₂: μ> 10.3 O Ho: μ = O Ho: μ = 10 versus Ha: μ 10.3
researchers wanted to determine if carpeted rooms contained more baterica than uncapted rooms. to determine the amount of bacterica in a room reseachers pumpled the air from the room over a petri dish at the rate of 1 cubic foot per minute for eight carpeted rooms and eight uncaprted rooms. colonies of baterica were alled to form in 16 petri dishes. the results shown below are the baterica counta per cubic foot mean standard deviation sample size capeted room 11.2 2.6774 8 uncapted room 9.7875 3.21 8 you want ti test using sigificance level of 0.01 whether the mean bactiria count is high for carpeted rooms than for uncapteed rooms. test whether the mean bacteria count is high for carpeted rooms thatn uncarpeted rooms. show all steps using the p value method. what is Ho and H1? what is the test statsic and p value? what conclusion can be made?
You want to conduct a study on the proportion of Penn State students who miss class when it is raining. Suppose here is the data you collect for students who live on-campus versus students who live off-campus: Never Miss Sometimes Miss Always Miss On-Campus 20 12 13 Off-Campus 45 14 22 a. For on-campus students (only), estimate the true difference in proportions for those who never miss class versus those who always miss class, when it is raining. Place a bound on the error of estimation. b. Estimate the true difference between the proportions of on-campus students who always miss class versus the proportion of off-campus students who always miss class, when it is raining. Place a bound on the error of estimation.
A study was undertaken to determine whether there was a significant weight (in lb) loss after one year course of therapy for diabetes, and whether the amount of weight (in lb) loss was related to initial weight. The following table gives the initial weight (x) and weight after one year of therapy (y) for 16 newly diagnosed adult diabetic patients. a. Is a one-sided or two sided test needed here? b. What is the mean weight for each time period? c. What is the standard deviation for each time period? d. Which statistical test is appropriate to use on these data? e. Carry out the hypothesis test(s) in question in above d. Use α=0.01 f. Are the means statistically different? g. Find the 99% confidence interval for the difference of the two means on weight. Interpret your finding.
Hellen has just started a new years competition for her local climbing gym. There are two categories for this competition: singles and group (18 people). The rules are simple, put in the most hours in one months time and you get a guided tour to climb Ten Sleep canyon. She knows from running this competition over the years that the number of hours climbers at her gym spend training during this competiton is approximately normal and their mean competition hours per month in the gym are 24 hrs with a standard devaition of 6 hrs If someone puts in between 25.5-32.1 hours on the wall they get a Mountain Goat shirt. What percent of the singles competitors is expected to get a shirt? In the group stage this year the winning group was in the 81 th percentile. What was their average time? The group stage is up for getting Gecko Socks if they also land between 25.5-32.1 hours on the wall on average. What prercent of the groups are expected to qualify for the socks?

Enter DNE if there is no mode or if there are more than two modes.)
The U.S. National Center for Health Statistics complies birth statistics and publishes the results in vital statistics of the United States. The Center has historically believed that the mean of all newborns in the U.S. has been no less than 6.95 pounds. A sample of babies is selected so that the center can revise its belief. The following birth weights, in pounds are recorded: 7.4, 6.0, 8.6, 4.5, 2.0, 7.9, 4.0, 2.6, 5.9, 7.3, 7.3, 7.0, 6.3, 8.1, 7.1, 7.3, 6.6, 5.2, 9.8, 8.0, 10.9, 6.5, 3.8, 5.0, 8.0 a). At 5% level of significance, do these data provide sufficient evidence to refute the Center’s belief? Your conclusion must be in terms of the P-Value as well as setting up a Rejection Region. You must show all necessary work. b). Which statistical distribution should be applied in this situation and why? Explain carefully.
