The standard deviation of quiz scores in Math 22 of EE courses is 8.6. A professor believes this value to be less. He samples 20 quiz scores and finds that the standard deviation is 6.9. Does this sample provide enough evidence to suggest that the true standard deviation is less than 8.6?

Loretta, who turns 91 this year, has heard that the mean systolic blood pressure among the elderly is 120 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg), but she believes that the actual value is higher. She bases her belief on a recently reported study of 19 randomly selected, elderly adults. The sample mean systolic blood pressure of the adults in the study was 121 mm Hg , and the sample standard deviation was 20 mm Hg. Assume that the population of systolic blood pressures of elderly adults is normally distributed. Based on the study, at the 0.1 level of significance, can it be concluded that μ , the mean systolic blood pressure among elderly adults, is greater than 120 mm Hg? Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places and round your answers as specified in the table.
