Sulfur compounds cause "off-odors" in wine, and winemakers want to know the odor threshold – the lowest concentration of a
compound that the human nose can detect. The odor threshold for dimethyl sulfide (DMS) in trained wine tasters is about 25
micrograms per liter of wine (µg/L). The untrained noses of consumers may be less sensitive, however. A set of DMS odor
threshold data for 10 untrained students was analyzed.
How sensitive are the untrained noses of students? You want to estimate the mean DMS odor threshold among all students, and
you would be satisfied to estimate the mean to within ±0.25 with 95% confidence. The standard deviation of the odor threshold
for untrained noses is known to be o = 8 micrograms per liter of wine. How large an SRS of untrained students do you need?
Give your answer rounded up to the nearest whole number.

An automobile manufacturer claims that a particular model car averages 24 miles per gallon. A consumer group feels that the company is overestimating the mean miles per gallon and asks the Consumer Protection Agency to investigate. The CPA plans to take a random sample of 30 cars of this model, find the mean miles per gallon for these cars, and conduct a test to determine whether the mean is significantly less than 24 mpg. The hypotheses for the test are: H₀: µ=24 and Ha: µ < 24.State and describe the Type 1 and 2 errors.

Cindy thinks she will make more if she moves to the nighttime shift. Her manager will choose five random nighttime shifts for Cindy to work. Cindy plans to conduct a significance test on the hypotheses H0: mu = 58; Ha: mu > 58 at the alpha = 0.05 level, where is the true mean amount of tips Cindy will make working nighttime shifts. Are the conditions for performing the test met? No, the 10% condition is not met. No, the sample size is too small, and a Normal distribution cannot be assumed. Yes, all conditions are met for performing a significance test about the mean. Yes, only the random condition must be met in order to perform a significance test. No, there is no way the manager could choose a random sample of shifts to work.arrow_forwardAccording to a report from the United States Environmental Protection Agency, burning one gallon of gasoline typically emits about 8.9 kg of CO2.
