To compare the dry braking distances from 30 to 0 miles per hour for two makes of automobiles, a safety engineer conducts braking tests for 35 models of Make A and 35 models of Make B. The mean braking distance for Make A is 43 feet. Assume the population standard deviation is 4.6 feet. The mean braking distance for Make B is 46 feet. Assume the population standard deviation is 4.5 feet. At α=0.10, can the engineer support the claim that the mean braking distances are different for the two makes of automobiles? Assume the samples are random and independent, and the populations are normally distributed. The critical value(s) is/are Find the standardized test statistic z for μ1−μ2.

The Natural Cereal Company claims that the average weight of is cereal boxes is at least 15oz. If a random sample of 24 boxes produced a sample mean x = 13.8 and a sample standard deviation s = 4.8, use the sample mean and standard deviation to test the claim at the 95% (? = 0.05) significance level. Use the hypothesis H0: μ = 15 and H1: μ < 15 with a one-tail test. Find the critical value for this confidence level. Find the T score for the tes statistic x=13.8.Based on the above T score – should you REJECT the null hypothesis H0?

The average number of miles a person drives per day is 24. A researcher wishes to see if people over age 60 drive less than 24 miles per day. She selects a random sample of 40 drivers over the age of 60 and finds that the mean number of miles driven is 22.7. The population standard deviation is 2.9 miles. At =α0.01, is there sufficient evidence that those drivers over 60 years old drive less than 24 miles per day on average? Assume that the variable is normally distributed. Use the critical value method with tables. State the hypotheses and identify the claim with the correct hypothesis.
We collected a sample of twenty-five observations. We assumed that the observations are from a population whose values follow a normal distribution with a mean of u and a standard deviation of five. We performed a test with these hypotheses Ho: μ = 0H₁ = 0 and H₁ : μ0H₁0. The test statistic is the sample mean . The 5% rejection region is 1.959964 > 1.959964. What is the power of this test when μ = -2μ = -2? Please state the statistical power up to the fourth decimal place.
A consumer group claims that the mean minimum time it takes for a sedan to travel a quarter mile is greater than 14.8 seconds.

The random variable, x is a water quality parameter, suspended solids with units of parts per million (ppm). A sample size of 60 yields a mean of 59.87 ppm, and a standard deviation of 12.5 ppm. Water quality criteria requires that the suspended solids do not exceed a mean, µ, = 50 ppm . Test the hypotheses H.: u = µ, vs. HA: u > H. (right-tailed test) at a level of significance of 5 % and assume the pop variance is known.
Hélène is responsible for a group of travelers who areboast of covering an average of 250 km per day, during a70 day trip. To verify this assertion, Hélènetakes a sample of 20 daily journeys without replacementand finds an average journey of 224 km with a standard deviation21 km sample. Assuming that the route oftravelers is a variable which obeys a normal law, we can say, at the level of significance α = 0.1, that travelersexaggerate in their assertion?
A random sample of 41 adult coyotes in a region of northern Minnesota showed the average age to be x = 2.09 years, with sample standard deviation s = 0.83 years. However, it is thought that the overall population mean age of coyotes is μ = 1.75. Do the sample data indicate that coyotes in this region of northern Minnesota tend to live longer than the average of 1.75 years? Use α = 0.01.
