Question
### Hypothesis Testing Problems

#### 1. 

**a.** A sample of \( n = 13 \) observations has a sample mean of \( \bar{x} = 2.879 \). If an assumed known standard deviation of \( \sigma = 0.325 \) is used, calculate the p-values for the hypothesis testing problems:

- **(a)** \( H_0 : \mu = 3.0 \) versus \( H_A : \mu \neq 3.0 \).
- **(b)** \( H_0 : \mu \geq 3.1 \) versus \( H_A : \mu < 3.1 \).

**b.** A food manufacturer claims that at the time of purchase by a consumer the average age of its product is no more than 120 days. In an experiment to test this claim a random sample of 36 items are found to have ages at the time of purchase with a sample mean of \( \bar{x} = 122.5 \) days and a sample standard deviation of \( s = 13.4 \) days.

- **(a)** Write down the null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis that the experimenter should use for the test.
- **(b)** For what values of the t-statistic does the experimenter accept the null hypothesis with a level of significance \( \alpha = 0.10 \)?
- **(c)** Is the null hypothesis accepted or rejected with \( \alpha = 0.10 \)?
- **(d)** Write down an expression for the p-value and estimate it.
