A national newspaper reported that the state with the longest mean life span is Hawaii, where the population mean life span is 76 years. A random sample of 20 obituary notices in the Honolulu Advertizer gave the following information about life span (in years) of Honolulu residents. 72 68 81 93 56 19 78 94 83 84 77 69 85 97 75 71 86 47 66 27 Assuming that life span in Honolulu is approximately normally distributed, does this information indicate that the population mean life span for Honolulu residents is less than 76 years? Use a 10% level of significance. What is the level of significance? What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Round your answer to three decimal places.) Find the P-value.

4. Researchers working for a sports drink company would like to know if a new blend if its popular sports drink can help improve marathon runners' final running time. Marathon times, Y, are known to follow a Normal distribution. Suppose that runners using the old blend sports drink have a mean finishing time of 300 minutes (µ = 300 minutes). A random sample of 20 runners was selected to use the new blend of sports drink in a marathon, finishing with an average time of 270 minutes and a standard deviation of 20 minutes (y = 270 min, s = 20 min). Can it be claimed that the new blend lowers finishing times? COr is it possible that random chance alone can explain the discrepancy?

2. Doctors volunteer their time on a daily basis in a clinic. The total number of patients served in a day at the clinic has mean 90 and variance 1890. Determine the probability that 120 or more patients can be served in a day at the clinic. Use the Central Limit Theorem with continuity correction. Use linear interpolation with the normal distribution to find the probability.
