USA Today reported that the state with the longest mean life span is Hawaii, where the population mean life span is 77 years. A random sample of 20 obituary notices in the Honolulu Advertiser gave the following information about life span (in years) of Honolulu residents: 72 68 81 93 56 19 78 94 83 84 77 69 85 97 75 71 86 47 66 88 Assuming that life span in Honolulu is normally distributed; does this information indicate that the population mean life span for Honolulu residents is less than 77 years?

An amusement park keeps track of the percentage of individuals with season passes according to age category. An independent tourist company would like to show that this distribution of age category for individuals buying season passes is different from what the amusement park claims. The tourist company randomly sampled 200 individuals entering the park with a season pass and recorded the number of individuals within each age category. Age Category Child (under 13 years old) Teen (13 to 19 years old) Adult (20 to 55 years old) Senior (56 years old and over) Number of Individuals 56 86 44 14 The tourist company will use the data to test the amusement park’s claim, which is reflected in the following null hypothesis. H0:pchild=0.23H0:pchild=0.23, pteen=0.45pteen=0.45, padult=0.20padult=0.20, and psenior=0.12psenior=0.12.

Isle Royale, an island in Lake Superior, has provided an important study site of wolves and their prey. Of special interest is the study of the number of moose killed by wolves. In the period from 1958 to 1974, there were 296 moose deaths identified as wolf kills. The age distribution of the kills is as follows. Number Killed by Wolves Age of Moose in Years Calf (0.5 yr) 1-5 114 49 71 11-15 16-20 59 3 (a) For each age group, compute the probability that a moose in that age group is killed by a wolf.

A national newspaper reported that the state with the longest mean life span is Hawaii, where the population mean life span is 76 years.

A group of 320 male students from the local high school have a mean mass of 70.41 kg. Records of similar students countrywide show a mean mass of 70.0 kg. A researcher wishes to determine whether the local students differ from the national group. what would be the research problem?
Millionaires. Dr. Thomas Stanley of Georgia State University has surveyed millionaires since 1973. Among other information, Stanley obtains estimates for the mean age, µ, of all U.S. millionaires.Suppose that 36 randomly selected U.S. millionaires are the following ages, in years. 31 45 79 64 48 38 39 68 52 59 68 79 42 79 53 74 66 66 71 61 52 47 39 54 67 55 71 77 64 60 75 42 69 48 57 48 Determine a 95% confidence interval for the mean age, µ, of all U.S. millionaires. Assume that the standard deviation of ages of all U.S. millionaires is 13.0 years. (Note: The mean of the data is 58.53 years.)

A study from 2014 found that adults in the US spend an average of 11 hours per day watching, reading, listening to or simply interacting with media. Researchers at UCLA suspect students spend less time engaging media. They grouped UCLA students by class section, randomly selected 20 class sections, and administered a survey to each student in those randomly selected class sections. The following data represents the mean time (in hours) per day spent engaging media for each of the randomly selected classes: 9.5 11.5 6.0 7.5 8 9.5 10.5 11 12 8.2 5 9.5 8.2 9.3 10.8 11 13 8.6 9.5 10.5 What would be the 99% Confidence Interval for mean time (in hours) spent per day engaging media for UCLA students. Do this "by hand", using appripriate symbols/formulas/tables.

According to a 2006 survey conducted by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), birth rates peak slightly between July and October each year. While a slight numerical increase in birth rates is often observed, this difference is assumed to be statistically non-significant. Thus, we would expect to see an equal number of people born during each month of the year in the United States. The "Birth Data.jasp" contains the birth months for 1380 babies (N = 1380) born during the year 2006 in the United States collected by the CDC. Conduct a Chi-Square Goodness of Fit Test at α = 0.05, to see if the number of babies born each month “fits” with the CDC’s assumptions about the population. Identify the correct null hypothesis. A. H0: The number of babies born throughout the year is equal across all 12 months B. H0: The number of babies born during the summer months is greater than the number of babies born during the rest of the year C. HA: The number of babies born in…
