Testing Hypotheses. In Exercises 9-24, assume that a simple random sample has been selected and test the given claim. Unless specified by your instructor, use either the P-value method or the critical value method for testing hypotheses. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses, test statistic, P-value (or range of P-values), critical value(s), and state t/se final conclusion that addresses the original claim.

9. Chocolate Chip Cookies The Chapter Problem for Chapter 3 includes the sample mean of the numbers of chocolate chips in 40 Chips Ahoy reduced fat cookies. The sample mean is x ¯ = 19.6 chocolate chips and the sample standard deviation is 3.8 chocolate chips. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that Chips Ahoy reduced-fat cookies have less fat because they have a mean number of chocolate chips that is less than the mean of 24 for regular Chips Ahoy cookies. See the accompanying TI-83/84 Plus display that results from this hypothesis test.

Definition Definition Measure of central tendency that is the average of a given data set. The mean value is evaluated as the quotient of the sum of all observations by the sample size. The mean, in contrast to a median, is affected by extreme values. Very large or very small values can distract the mean from the center of the data. Arithmetic mean: The most common type of mean is the arithmetic mean. It is evaluated using the formula: μ = 1 N ∑ i = 1 N x i Other types of means are the geometric mean, logarithmic mean, and harmonic mean. Geometric mean: The nth root of the product of n observations from a data set is defined as the geometric mean of the set: G = x 1 x 2 ... x n n Logarithmic mean: The difference of the natural logarithms of the two numbers, divided by the difference between the numbers is the logarithmic mean of the two numbers. The logarithmic mean is used particularly in heat transfer and mass transfer. ln x 2 − ln x 1 x 2 − x 1 Harmonic mean: The inverse of the arithmetic mean of the inverses of all the numbers in a data set is the harmonic mean of the data. 1 1 x 1 + 1 x 2 + ...
