Question 1. Let u denote the true average radioactivity level (picocuries per liter). The
value 5 pci/L is considered the dividing line between safe and unsafe water. Would you
recommend testing Ho: μ = 5 versus Ha: > 5 or Ho μ = 5 versus Ha: μ 5. A type II error in this case involves
deciding the water is safe when it isn't. This is a very serious error, so a test which ensures
that this error is highly unlikely is desirable. We prefer that the most serious error be a type
II error because it can be explicitly controlled.

For a new study conducted by a fitness magazine, 285 females were
randomly selected. For each, the mean daily calorie consumption was
calculated for a September-February period. A second sample of 250
females was chosen independently of the first. For each of them, the
mean daily calorie consumption was calculated for a March-August
period. During the September-February period, participants consumed a
mean of 2385.6 calories daily with a standard deviation of 224. During the
March-August period, participants consumed a mean of 2414.4 calories
daily with a standard deviation of 287.5. The population standard
deviations of daily calories consumed for females in the two periods can
be estimated using the sample standard deviations, as the samples that
were used to compute them were quite large. Construct a 90% confidence
interval for u,-H, the difference between the mean daily calorie
consumption u, of females in September-February and the mean daily…

The recommended dietary allowance (RDA) of iron for adult females under the age of 51 years is 19 milligrams (mg) per day. A hypothesis test is to be performed to decide whether adult females under the age of 51 years are, on average, getting more than the RDA of 19 mg of iron per day. Complete parts (a) through (c). a.
