2. Hypothesis Testing - Two Sample Means
A nutritionist is investigating the effect of two different diet programs, A and B, on weight loss. Two
independent samples of adults were randomly assigned to each diet for 12 weeks. The weight losses (in kg)
are normally distributed.
Sample A: n = 35, 4.8, s = 1.2
Sample B: n=40, 4.3, 8 = 1.0
Questions:
a) State the null and alternative hypotheses to test whether there is a significant difference in mean weight
loss between the two diet programs.
b) Perform a hypothesis test at the 5% significance level and interpret the result.
c) Compute a 95% confidence interval for the difference in means and interpret it.
d) Discuss assumptions of this test and explain how violations of these assumptions could impact the results.
1. Sampling Distribution and the Central Limit Theorem
A company produces batteries with a mean lifetime of 300 hours and a standard deviation of 50 hours. The lifetimes are not normally distributed—they are right-skewed due to some batteries lasting unusually long.
Suppose a quality control analyst selects a random sample of 64 batteries from a large production batch.
Questions:
a) Explain whether the distribution of sample means will be approximately normal. Justify your answer using the Central Limit Theorem.
b) Compute the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample mean.
c) What is the probability that the sample mean lifetime of the 64 batteries exceeds 310 hours?
d) Discuss how the sample size affects the shape and variability of the sampling distribution.

- Rylee's car is stuck in the mud. Roman and Shanice come along in a truck to help pull her out. They attach one end of a tow strap to the front of the car and the other end to the truck's trailer hitch, and the truck starts to pull. Meanwhile, Roman and Shanice get behind the car and push. The truck generates a horizontal force of 377 lb on the car. Roman and Shanice are pushing at a slight upward angle and generate a force of 119 lb on the car. These forces can be represented by vectors, as shown in the figure below. The angle between these vectors is 20.2°. Find the resultant force (the vector sum), then give its magnitude and its direction angle from the positive x-axis. 119 lb 20.2° 377 lb a.
