- According to a food website, the mean consumption of popcorn annually by Americans is 62quarts. The marketing division of the food website unleashes an aggressive campaign designed to get Americans to consume even more popcorn. Complete parts (a) through (c) below.arrow_forwardYou recently received a job with a company that manufactures an automobile anti theft device. To conduct an advertising campaign for the product, you need to make a claim about the number of automobile thefts per year. Since the population of various cities in the United States varies, you decide to use rates per 10,000 people. (The rates are based on the number of people living in the cities.) Your boss said that last year the theft rate per 10,000 people was 44 vehicles. You want to see if it has changed. The following are rates per 10,000 people for 36 randomly selected locations in the United States. Assume σ = 30.3.

The average expenditure for the 20 girls in the sample was $9.70 and for the boys it was $11.10. How many boys are there in the random sample?arrow_forwardThe quantity of dissolved oxygen is a measure of water pollution in lakes, rivers, and streams. Water samples were taken at four different locations in a river in an effort to determine if water pollution varied from location to location. Location I was 500 meters above an industrial plant water discharge point and near the shore. Location II was 200 meters above the discharge point and in midstream. Location III was 50 meters downstream from the discharge point and near the shore. Location IV was 200 meters downstream from the discharge point and in midstream. The following table shows the results. Lower dissolved oxygen readings mean more pollution. Because of the difficulty in getting midstream samples, ecology students collecting the data had fewer of these samples. Use a 5% level of significance. Do we reject or not reject the claim that the quantity of dissolved oxygen does not vary from one location to another? Location I Location II Location III Location IV 7.1 6.6 4.6…arrow_forward
