Chapter 3, Problem 69PS
A quality characteristic of interest for a tea-bag-filling process is the weight of the tea in the individual bags. If the bags are underfilled, two problems arise. First, customers may not be able to brew the tea to be as strong as they wish. Second, the company may be in violation of the truth-in-labeling laws. For this product, the label weight on the package indicates that, on average, there are 5.5 grams of tea in a bag. If the
a. Compute the mean,
b. Compute the
c. Interpret the measures of
d. Construct a boxplot Are the data skewed? If so, how?
e. Is the company meeting the requirement set forth on the label that. on average. there are 5.5 grams of tea in a bag? If you were in charge of this process. what changes. if any. would you try to make concerning the distribution of weights in the individual bags?

Is there evidence that the average temperatures are significantly different
in La Niña and El Niño years? Also, find a 90% CI for the difference.
2. A nutritionist claims that 75% of the preschool children in a certain
country have protein deficient diets. A sample survey reveals that 206
preschool children in a sample of 300 have protein deficient diets. Test
the claim at the 0.02 level of significance. Also, estimate the p-value.
5. The mean protein intake was measured for three groups of women: (1)
women eating a standard American diet (STD), (2) women eating a
lacto-ovo-vegetarian diet (LAC), and (3) women eating a strict vegetar-
ian diet (VEG). The mean and sd for protein intake (mg) are below.

A job placement director claims that mean starting wage for nurses in New Mexico is $25 per hour. We suspect that this number is too opti- mistic. A random sample of 20 nurses' wages has a mean $22.6 and a standard deviation of $1.2 per hour. Is there enough evidence to reject the director's claim at a = 0.01?
