The mean water temperature downstream from a discharge pipe at a power plant cooling tower should be no more than 100°F. Past studies has shown that the standard deviation of temperature is 2°F. The water temperature was measured on 10 randomly chosen days, and the results are shown below: 96.15 97.81 97.09 95.08 99.46 100.03 99.74 98.85 95.08 98.71 State the null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis for the above problem. Is there evidence that the water temperature is acceptable at α = 1%? Compute the 95% confidence interval for the mean temperature of water.

Hawaiians are known to have an active lifestyle, enjoying the fresh air and natural beauty the islands have to offer. The life expectancy of the US population across all 50 states is µ=78.62 years with a standard deviation σ=16.51 years. A randomly selected sample of 100 Hawaiians show an average life expectancy x̅=82.52 years. Is Hawaiians’ average life expectancy significantly different from 78.62, assuming α=0.01?
The mean consumption of water per household in a city was 1244 cubic feet per month. Due to a water shortage because of a drought, the city council campaigned for water use conservation by households. A few months after the campaign was started, the mean consumption of water for a sample of 96 households was found to be 1164 cubic feet per month. The population standard deviation is given to be 257 cubic feet. a. Find the p-value for the hypothesis test that the mean consumption of water per household has decreased due to the campaign by the city council. Would you reject the null hypothesis at a = 0.025? Round your answer to four decimal places. p-value = We i b. Make the test of part a using the critical-value approach and a = 0.025. Zobserved Round your answer for z to two decimal places. We Ho. i Ho. We conclude that the mean consumption of water per household has due to the campaign by the city council.

The National Weather Service says that the mean daily high temperature for October in a large mid-western city is 56°F. A local weather service suspects that this value is not accurate and wants to perform a hypothesis test to determine whether the mean is actually lower than 56°F. A sample of mean daily high temperatures for October over the past 37 years yields a sample mean of 54o F. Assume that the population standard deviation is 5.6° F. Perform the hypothesis test at the 1% significance level. STEP 1. H0: µ:____ ______o _____: H1: µ ____ o NOTE: For ≠ enter /= STEP 2.

In a random sample of 8 cell phones, the mean full retail price was $549.30 and the standard deviation was $182.00. Further research suggests that the population mean is $425.14. Does the t-value for the original sample fall between - to 95 and to 95? Assume that the population of full retail prices for cell phones is normally distributed. The t-value of t = fall between - to 95 and to 95 because to 95 (Round to two decima d.) does not does
