Workers in the office like to drink coffee during work. A doctor is concerned about this situation since the too much coffee consumption may result to long-term health problems. However, studies suggests that there is no risk in drinking three cups of coffee per day, which is about 250 mg of caffeine. The doctor wants to know if the amount of caffeine consumed by the workers is within tolerable limits. He randomly selected 20 students and found that they consume an average of 270 mg of caffeine each day with a standard deviation of 48 mg. Assume that the daily amount of caffeine consumed by students follow the normal distribution.1. Which of the following sets of hypotheses should be used in this study?
A. Ho: μ = 250 vs. Ha: μ > 250
B. Ho: μ ≤ 250 vs. Ha: μ > 250
C. Ho: μ = 270 vs. Ha: μ > 270
D. Ho: μ = 270 vs. Ha: μ ≠ 270
2. Which of the following is(are) TRUE? I. The appropriate test procedure to answer the objective of the study is a…
Snow avalanches can be a real problem for travelers in the western United States and Canada. A very common type of avalanche is called the
slab avalanche. These have been studied extensively by David McClung, a professor of civil engineering at the University of British Columbia.
Suppose slab avalanches studied in a region of Canada had an average thickness of u = 67 cm. The ski patrol at Vail, Colorado, is studying
slab avalanches in its region. A random sample of avalanches in spring gave the following thicknesses (in cm).
59 51 76 38 65 54 49 62
68 55 64 67 63
74 65 79
(i) Use a calculator with sample mean and standard deviation keys to find x and s. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)
X=
cm
S=
cm
(ii) Assume the slab thickness has an approximately normal distribution. Use a 1% level of significance to test the claim that the mean slab
thickness in the Vail region is different from that in the region of Canada.
(a) What is the level of significance?

Iron is an integral part of many proteins and enzymes that maintain good health. Recommendations for iron were developed by an institute of medicine for a certain region. The recommended dietary allowance
(RDA) of iron for adult females under the age of 51 years is 17.5 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 17.5 mg of iron per day. Complete parts (a) through (c).
a. Determine the null hypothesis.
Ho: H

- Tardigrades, or water bears, are a type of micro-animal famous for their resilience. In examining the effects of radiation on organisms, an expert claimed that the amount of gamma radiation needed to sterilize a colony of tardigrades no longer has a mean of 1150 Gy (grays). (For comparison, humans cannot withstand more than 10 Gy.) A random sample of 25 tardigrade colonies found that the amount of gamma radiation needed to sterilize a colony had a sample mean of 1133 Gy, with a sample standard deviation of 62 Gy. Assume that the population of amounts of gamma radiation needed to sterilize a colony of tardigrades is approximately normally distributed. Complete the parts below to perform a hypothesis test to see if there is enough evidence, at the 0.05 level of significance, to support that u, the mean amount of gamma radiation needed to sterilize a colony of tardigrades, is not equal to 1150 Gy.
