The Tastee company produces baby food. The president of Tastee proposes that her company's product is superior to that of the leading competitor, as babies gain weight faster when their product is used. The company selected a random sample of 60 women who had a one-year old baby. The women fed their baby with Tastee food products for one month. The weight gain of each baby was recorded. The sample mean was 515 grams. The population standard deviation is known and it is 55 grams. At the 5% level of significance, is their enough evidence in the sample to indicate that one-year old babies, who are fed with Tastee food products for one month, gain more than 500 grams? 13.

Sam and Peter are classmates. In an examination, Sam gets 75 marks and Peter gets 89 marks. It is known that the standard normal score of Sam's marks is 0, z(Sam) = 0 and the standard normal score of Peter's marks is 1.75, z(Peter) = 1.75. Find the standard deviation of the examination marks.
The results of a common standardized test used in psychology research is designed so that the population mean is 175 and the standard deviation is 10. A subject earns a score of 183. What is the z-score for this raw score?
Lucy recently switched her primary doctor to one specializing in caring for elderly patients. On her new doctor's website, it says that the mean systolic blood pressure among elderly females is 120 millimeters of mercury (mmHg). Lucy believes the value is actually higher. She bases her belief on a recently reported study of 19 randomly selected, elderly females. The sample mean systolic blood pressure was 132 mmHg, and the sample standard deviation was 24 mmHg. Assume that the systolic blood pressures of elderly females are approximately normally distributed. Based on the study, at the 0.05 level of significance, can it be concluded that μ, the population mean systolic blood pressure among elderly females, is greater than 120 mmHg? Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places.

The chocolate chip cookies that are produced at Perry’s Cookie Emporium have weights which are approximately normally distributed with the mean weight 180 grams and with standard deviations 20 grams. The cookies, however, are sold by count, not by weight. Perry wants to improve his image, so he decides to set aside lightest 20% of the cookies to be packaged and sold separately. What cookie weight will divide the lightest 20% from the heaviest 80%?
Rachael and Autumn began arguing about who did better on their tests, but they couldn't decide who did better given that they took different tests. Rachael took a test in English and earned a 81.8, and Autumn took a test in Math and earned a 63.6. Use the fact that all the students' test grades in the English class had a mean of 71.3 and a standard deviation of 11.4, and all the students' test grades in Math had a mean of 60.2 and a standard deviation of 8.3 to answer the following questions. a) Calculate the z-score for Rachael's test grade.z=z= b) Calculate the z-score for Autumn's test grade.z=z= c) Which person did relatively better?

Amanda recently switched her primary doctor to one specializing in caring for elderly patients. On her new doctor's website, it says that the mean systolic blood pressure among elderly females is 115 millimeters of mercury (mmHg). Amanda believes the value is actually higher.

Researchers want to compare the relative effectiveness of two popular diets. They randomly assign each of 400 volunteers to one of two Groups: A & B. There are 200 volunteers in each group. Group A spends 6 months on Diet A. Group B spends 6 months on Diet B. At the beginning of the study, the difference in average weight between the two groups was negligible. After the study, the Group A had lost on average 7.8 pounds with a standard deviation of 13.4 pounds, while the Group B had lost on average 5.3 pounds with a standard deviation of 14.8 pounds. Determine the z-score/test statistic for a two-tailed test with significance level α = 0.05 , accurate to 2 decimal places.

An incoming MBA student took placement exams in economics and mathematics. In economics, she scored 82 and in math 87. The overall results on the economics exam had a mean of 71 and a standard deviation of 7, while the mean math score was 69, with a standard deviation of 10. On which exam did she do better compared with the other students? Since she scored standard deviations V the mean in economics and standard deviations V the mean in mathematics, she did better on the exam. (Round to two decimal places as needed.)
