In each exercise,
- (a) identify the claim and state H0 and Ha.
- (b) find the critical value and identify the rejection region,
- (c) find the test statistic,
- (d) decide whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis, and
- (e) interpret the decision in the context of the original claim.
In Exercises 1–3, use the data, which list the hourly wages (in dollars) for randomly selected respiratory therapy technicians from three states. Assume the wages are
Maine: 20.92, 25.37, 23.06, 15.64, 27.72, 24.90, 19.26, 23.46, 18.49, 21.76, 22.36

Major League Baseball (MLB) consists of teams that play in the American League and the National League. MLB collects a wide variety of team and
player statistics. Some of the statistics often used to evaluate pitching performance are as follows:
• ERA: The average number of earned runs given up by the pitcher per nine innings. An earned run is any run that the opponent scores off a
particular pitcher except for runs scored as a result of errors.
• SO/IP: The average number of strikeouts per inning pitched.
• HR/IP: The average number of home runs per inning pitched.
• R/IP: The number of runs given up per inning pitched.
The following data show values for these statistics for a random sample of 20 pitchers from the American League for one full season.

Determine whether the study depicts an observational study or an experimental study.
A study was done to see if sugar consumption can cause hypoeractivity in children. The researcher took four groups of children and assigned different amounts of sugar the children had to consume. After a certain period of time, they assessed whether or not the children were hyperactive.
A random sample of 300 United States cell phone users were asked their age and the question “Do you regularly use your cell phone to text while eating dinner?” The number responding yes was tabulated separately for young adults (aged 18–29), older adults (aged 30–64), and elderly adults (aged 65 or older). The results are summarized in the following table.

- Researchers want to investigate whether taking aspirin regularly reduces the risk of heart attack. Four hundred men between the ages of 50 and 84 are recruited as participants. The men are divided randomly into two groups: one group will take aspirin, and the other group will take a placebo. Each man takes one pill each day for three years, but he does not know whether he is taking aspirin or the placebo. At the end of the study, researchers count the number of men in each group who have had heart attacks.
