The white wood material used for the roof of an ancient temple is imported from a certain country. The wooden roof must withstand as much as 100 centimeters of snow in the winter. Architects at a university conducted a study to estimate the mean bending strength of the white wood roof. A sample of 25 pieces of the imported wood were tested and yielded the statistics x = 72.7 and s = 11.4 on breaking strength (MPa). Estimate the true mean breaking strength of the white wood with a 99% confidence interval. Interpret the result. Find the 99% confidence interval for the true mean breaking strength of the white wood. OD (Round two decimal places as needed.)

Four mixer trucks, A, B, C, D, are used to move concrete from the batching plant to the construction site. Table Q4 shows the amount of fuel, in litres, used per meter cube of concrete moved for each truck. Test the hypothesis that the mean amount of fuel used per meter cube of concrete moved is the difference for each truck. Use the 5% level of significance.

A random sample of 100 inmates at a maximum-security prison shows that exactly 10 of the respondents had been the victims of violent crime during their incarceration. Estimate the proportion of victims for the population as a whole assuming a 10% tolerance for error and interpret the result. Prison guards have suggested that 20% of inmates are victims of violent crime. Is the evidence consistent or inconsistent with this suggestion. Briefly explain.
Before every flight, the pilot must verify that the total weight of the load is less than the maximum allowable load for the aircraft. The Bombardier Dash 8 aircraft can carry 37 passengers, and a flight has fuel and baggage that allows for a total passenger load of 6200 lb. The pilot sees that the plane is full and all passengers are men. The aircraft will be overloaded if the mean weight of the passengers is greater than 6200lb/37 = 167.6lb. What is the probability that the aircraft is overloaded? Should the pilot take any action to correct for an overloaded aircraft? Assume that weights of men are normally distributed with a mean of 185.47 lb and a standard deviation of 39 lb. make sure to include pdf
A researcher studying stress is interested in the blood pressure measurements of chief executive officers (CEOS) of major corporations. He has good reason to believe that the mean systolic blood pressure, u, of CEOS of major corporations is less than 130 mm Hg, which is the value reported in a possibly outdated journal article. He plans to perform a statistical test. He measures the systolic blood pressures of a random sample of CEOS of major corporations and finds the mean of the sample to be 120 mm Hg and the standard deviation of the sample to be 15 mm Hg. Based on this information, complete the parts below. (a) What are the null hypothesis H, and the alternative hypothesis H, that should be used for the test? H :0 O
A company makes high-definition televisions and does not like to have defective pixels. Historically,the mean number of defective pixels in a TV is 20. An engineer is hired to make better TV’s that havefewer defective pixels. After his first week of work he claims that he can significantly improve the currentmethod. To check his claim you try his new method on 100 new televisions. The average number ofdefective pixels in those 100 TV’s is 19.1. Assume that the new method doesn’t change the standarddeviation of defective pixels, which has always been 4.(a) Test if the new method is significantly better than the old one at the α = 0.05 level.(b) Using the new method, assume that the mean number of defective pixels is actually 19. What is thechance that your test from part 1 will conclude that the new method is statistically more effective?
Unfortunately, arsenic occurs naturally in some ground water.† A mean arsenic level of μ = 8.3 parts per billion (ppb) is considered safe for agricultural use. A well in Texas is used to water cotton crops. This well is tested on a regular basis for arsenic. A random sample of 41 tests gave a sample mean of x = 7.3 ppb arsenic, with s = 2.4 ppb. Does this information indicate that the mean level of arsenic in this well is less than 8.3 ppb? Use ? = 0.01. (a) What is the level of significance? State the null hypotheses H0 and the alternate hypothesis H1 . H0 : μ ---Select--- < ≥ ≤ = > ≠ H1 : μ ---Select--- < > ≤ ≥ = ≠ (b) What sampling distribution will you use?

Use a z-table such as https://www.math.arizona.edu/~rsims/ma464/standardnormaltable.pdf or an online calculator such as http://onlinestatbook.com/2/calculators/normal_dist.html to answer the following question: This question again refers to the study on blood pressure. What proportion of the population has a blood pressure that is below the value 129.5 mmHg for a normally-distributed set of blood pressures with a mean of 120.1 mmHg and a standard deviation of 15.1 mmHg? Express your answer as a percentage rounded off to 1 decimal place. For the value from the previous question you just answered, what percentage of the population would have a blood pressure higher than this value? Express your answer as a percentage rounded to 1 decimal place and show your calculations in the space provided below.
A researcher studying stress is interested in the blood pressure measurements of chief executive officers (CEOs) of major corporations. He has good reason to believe that the mean systolic blood pressure, μ, of CEOs of major corporations is different from 132 mm Hg, which is the value reported in a possibly outdated journal article. He plans to perform a statistical test. He measures the systolic blood pressures of a random sample of CEOs of major corporations and finds the mean of the sample to be 124 mm Hg and the standard deviation of the sample to be 20 mm Hg. Based on this information, complete the parts below. A. H0: H1: B. Suppose that the researcher decides to reject the null hypothesis. Would the research be making a type I or type II error?
Before every flight, the pilot must verify that the total weight of the load is less than the maximum allowable load for the aircraft. The aircraft can carry 40 passengers, and a flight has fuel and baggage that allows for a total passenger load of 6,250 lb. The pilot sees that the plane is full and all passengers are men. The aircraft will be overloaded if the mean weight of the passengers is greater than 6,250 lb / 40 = 163 lb. What is the possiblity that the aircraft is overloaded? Should the pilot take any action to correct an overloaded aircraft? Assume that the weights of men are normally distributed with a mean of 177.3 lb and a standard deviation of 39.3 The probability is approximately

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries occur most frequently in planting and cutting sports such as basketball, soccer, and volleyball. National collegiate athletic association injury data show that female athletes injure the ACL more frequently than their male counterparts do. A sports medicine professor wants to test this claim. He surveyed 5 universities that had both men's and woman's basketball, soccer, and volleyball and asked them how many grade 3 ACL tears they had during the past 5 seasons. Using the following results, are women at greater risk than men for ACL injuries? (use a standard deviation of 0.01, one tail test). Women- 4,3, 5, 2,4 Men- 2, 0, 1 ,2, 1 What is the difference between a repeated measure study and a matched pairs study?
