1. The average weight of a group of individuals in a weight loss program was originally 200 pounds. After 2 weeks of the program, a sample of 60 such individuals are considered, and it is found that the average weight for these sampled individuals is 180 pounds with a standard deviation of 80 pounds. What would be the pair of hypotheses to test if the average weight has gone down.
A. H0 : μ ≥ 200 vs Ha : μ < 200
B. H0 : μ > 200 vs Ha : μ < 200
C. H0 : μ <200 vs Ha : μ > 200
D. H0 : μ < 200 vs Ha : μ ≥ 200
2.What would be the standard error of the sample mean in problem 1?
A. 1.15
B. 1.33
C. 10.33
D. 12
3. What would be the p-value for testing the pair of hypotheses in problem 1?

According to a report done by S & J Power, the mean lifetime of the light bulbs it manufactures is 44 months. A researcher for a consumer advocate group tests this by selecting 16 bulbs at random. For the bulbs in the sample, the mean lifetime is 47 months. It is known that the population standard deviation of the lifetimes is 5 months. Assume that the population is normally distributed. Can we conclude, at the 0.10 level of significance, that the population mean lifetime, μ, of light bulbs made by this manufacturer differs from 44 months? Perform a two-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places, and round your responses as specified below.arrow_forward
