What is the name of this hypothesis test? According to data from the National Health and Nutrition Exam Survey, the mean weight of 10-year-old boys is 88.3 pounds with a standard deviation of 2.06 pounds. Assume the distribution of weights is Normal. Suppose we take a random sample of 30 boys from this population. Find the approximate probability that the average weight of this sample will be above 89 pounds.

Frito Lay did a study on the weights of their bags of corn chips. It was found that the weight is normally distributed with a mean of 22 oz. and standard deviation of 0.90 oz. If a sample of 35 bags are randomly selected, find the probability that their sample mean is less than 21.5 ounces.
The mean for life expectancy is 47.6 for White people who were born in 1900 and 33.0 for non-white people. Suppose you randomly sample the death records for people born in 1900 in a certain country. Of the 124 white people, the mean life span is 45.3 years and the standard deviation is 12.7 years. 82 of the non-white people have a mean life span of 34.1 and a standard deviation of 15.6 years. A hypothesis test is needed to see if the mean is the same for both countries for White and Non-White people. Is this a right, left or two-tailed test.
The average MATH SAT score is 513 with a standard deviation of 119. random sample of 60 students from Goldfiled High School has an SAT MATH score sample mean of 530. What is the probability of a sample mean of size 60 being lower than 530?
A published study says that 95 percent of American children are vaccinated against measles, with a standard deviation of 1.5 percent. You draw a sample of 100 children from your community and check their vaccination records, to see if the vaccination rate in your community is the same as the nationalaverage. What distribution will you use for this test, and why?
