4. Suppose a newly released weight-loss pill is being sold in a certain city. The manufacturer claims thatany overweight person who takes the pill as directed will lose more than 15 lbs within a month. To testthis claim, a doctor gives this pill to twelve overweight people and finds that they lose an average of 17.2lbs with a standard deviation of 4 lbs. Can we reject the manufacturer’s claim at the 1% level ofsignificance?a. Null and alternative hypothesis (give both in symbolic form and sentence form): b. Test statistic and p-value (show the calculation or show what you entered into the calculator(screenshots are ok here)):c. Technical conclusion, circle one: reject the null hypothesis or fail to reject the null hypothesisWhy did you choose to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis?d. Nontechnical conclusion addressing the original claim:
5) A national standardized math test is given to 8th-grade students. Scores on the test range from 0 to 500. Suppose you give this test to an SRS of 900 eighth- graders from a large population in which the scores have a mean u =285 and a standard deviation o= 125. The sample mean x-bar will vary if you take repeated samples. a) If the sampling distribution of x-bar is approximately Normal and has a population mean of 285. What is its standard deviation? b) Suppose that an SRS of 900 eighth-graders has x-bar = 288. Based on this sample, calculate the 95% confidence interval for u %3D c) Without calculating, suppose we compute a 99% confidence interval for the population mean, would you expect the margin of error to be larger or smaller than that calculated in (b). Why? d) Without calculating, suppose that we take an SRS of 1600 8th-graders and find the sample mean to be 288. Compared to part (b), would the margin of error for a 95% confidence interval for the population mean be larger…
4) Suppose an x distribution with u = 12 and standard deviation 6. Consider two corresponding x distributions, the first based on sample size n = 36 and the second with sample size n = 64. a) What is the value of the mean and standard deviation of the two x distributions? First: Hx = Ox= - Ox=- Second: ux =

9a) Researchers obtained the body temperature of 52 healthy humans and found the average body temperature of these 52 people to be 98.4°F. Construct a 90% confidence interval for the population mean body temperature of healthy humans. Assume the population standard deviation is 0.97°F. Interpret your result.
3. The life in hours of a 75-watt light bulb is known to be normally distributed with σ = 25 hours. Arandom sample of 20 bulbs has a mean life of 1014 hours. Determine the lower limit of the 99%confidence interval on the mean life.
23) The records of 100 postal employees who volunteered for a study, showed that the average time these employees had worked for the postal service was x = standard deviation of the population of time postal service employees have spent with the postal service is approximately 8 years. Assume that we know that the normal with standard deviation o 5 years. A 95% confidence interval for the mean time u the population of postal service employees have spent with the postal service is:
7.) A sample of weights of 30 four-year-old boys had a standard deviaCon of 8.6 lbs. Can we claim that they have the same standard deviaCon as girls, which is 7.8 lbs? Test using ∝= 0.05 and a.) a hypothesis test b.) an appropriate confidence interval
14.) A researcher would like to estimate the mean weight of all adult female American alligators in the Everglades. The mean weight of a random sample of 146 adult female American alligators from the Everglades was found to be 217 pounds. The standard deviation of the weights of all adult female American alligators in the Everglades is known to be 16 pounds.Using a 96% confidence level, determine the margin of error, EE, and a confidence interval for the mean weight of all adult female American alligators in the Everglades. Report the confidence interval using interval notation. Round solutions to two decimal places, if necessary.The margin of error is given by E= ___A 96% confidence interval is given by ___
5. The burning rates of two different solid-fuel propellants used in air crew escape systems are being studied. It is known that both propellants have approximately the same standard deviation of burning rate; that is, o1 =02 = 3 centimeters per second. Two random samples of n1 = 20 and n2 = 20 specimens are tested; the sample mean burning rates are x1 = 18 centimeters per second and x2 = 24 centimeters %3D %3D per second. 5.1. Test the hypothesis that both propellants have the same mean burning rate. Use a=0.05. What is the P-value? 5.2. Construct a 95% confidence interval on the difference in means µ1 -u2. What is the practical meaning of this interval?
