Chapter 10.4, Problem 44E
Paint used to paint lines on roads must reflect enough light to be clearly visible at night. Let μ denote the mean reflectometer reading for a new type of paint. A test of H0: μ = 20 versus Ha: μ > 20 based on a sample of 15 observations resulted in t = 3.2. What conclusion is appropriate at each of the following significance levels?
- a. α = 0.05
- b. α = 0.01
- c. α = 0.001

The data found below measure the amounts of greenhouse gas emissions from three types of vehicles. The measurements are in tons per year, expressed as CO2 equivalents. Use a 0.025 significance level to test the claim that the different types of vehicle have the same mean
amount of greenhouse gas emissions. Based on the results, does the type of vehicle appear to affect the amount of greenhouse gas emissions?
