6. A manufacturer makes a particular car part that is supposed to have a mean weight of 30 g. An angry customer suspects (claims) that the mean weight is actually less than 30 g. The mean weight of a random sample of 25 of these car parts is 29.2 g with a 0n standard deviation of 4.2 g. The sample is normally distributed. At the 0.05 significance level, test the customer's claim that the sample is from a population where the mean weight is less than 30 g. a) State the claim, null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis.

According to Management Accounting, salary figures for certified management accountants (CMAs) who are in the field less than 1 year are normally distributed with a mean of $31,129. A random sample of 15 firstyear CMAs in Denver produces a mean salary of $32,279, with a standard deviation of $1,797. Test the hypothesis that the mean for all Denver firstyear CMAs is not equal to $31,129. Use the .05 level of significance. 1. State the null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis 2.What is the test statistic used for the test (z or t) and it’s critical value (round to 2 places) 3. Determine the p-value. And do you or do you not reject the null hypothesis?
People who diet can expect to lose an average of 2 kg in a month. In a book, the authors claim that people who follow a new diet will lose an average of more than 2 kg in a month. The weight losses of the 18 people in a random sample who had followed the new diet for a month were noted. The sample mean was 2.1 kg and the standard deviation was 0.5 kg. Test the authors’ claim at the 5% significance level
A pizza delivery chain advertises that it will deliver your pizza in 35 minutes from when the order is placed. Being a skeptic, you decide to test and see if the mean delivery time is actually more than 35 minutes. For the simple random sample of 14 customers who record the amount of time it takes for each of their pizzas to be delivered, the mean is 37.0 minutes with a standard deviation of 9.9 minutes. Assume that the population distribution is approximately normal. Perform a hypothesis test using a 0.05 level of significance. Step 1 of 3: State the null and alternative hypotheses for the test. Fill in the blank below. Ho: 35 Họ 1 = H₂H = 35
The average weight of new-born kittens is 3.5 ounces. A breeder suspects one of her cats, Stella, produces extra small kittens. The breeder’s suspicions arise from the weights of Stella’s most recent litter of kittens: {3.1, 3.3, 3.0, 3.7, 2.9, 2.9}. Note that the sample mean is 3.15 oz. Assume that the standard deviation of the weight of all Stella’s new-born kittens is 0.3 oz. a. In order for the above inferences to be valid, it is necessary for us to assume the sample is randomly selected from a normally distributed population. Are there any indications that either of these assumptions are violated? Explain. Hint: To check one of these assumptions, you will find it helpful to construct a histogram or a stem-and-leaf display.
A car company claims that its new SUV gets better gas mileage than its competitor's SUV. A random sample of 35 of its SUVs has a mean gas mileage of 16.7 miles per gallon (mpg). The population standard deviation is known to be 0.9 mpg. A random sample of 42 competitor's SUVS has a mean gas mileage of 16.4 mpg. The population standard deviation for the competitor is known to be 0.6 mpg. Test the company's claim at the 0.02 level of significance. Let the car company's SUVs be Population 1 and let the competitor's SUVS be Population 2. Step 1 of 3: State the null and alternative hypotheses for the test. Fill in the blank below.

A car company claims that its new SUV gets better gas mileage than its competitor's SUV. A random sample of 49 of its SUVs has a mean gas mileage of 17.1 miles per gallon (mpg). The population standard deviation is known to be 1.3 mpg. A random sample of 33 competitor's SUVS has a mean gas mileage of 16.3 mpg. The population standard deviation for the competitor is known to be 1.6 mpg. Test the company's claim at the 0.05 level of significance. Let the car company be Population 1 and let the competitor be Population 2. Step 2 of 3: Compute the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to two decimal places.
A pizza delivery chain advertises that it will deliver your pizza in 25 minutes from when the order is placed. Being a skeptic, you decide to test and see if the mean delivery time is actually more than 25 minutes. For the simple random sample of 11 customers who record the amount of time it takes for each of their pizzas to be delivered, the mean is 27.7 minutes with a standard deviation of 2.9 minutes. Assume that the population distribution is approximately normal. Perform a hypothesis test using a 0.10 level of significance. Step 1 of 3: State the null and alternative hypotheses for the test.

A random sample of 25 brand A cigarettes shoed an average nicotine content of 5 milligram, while a sample of 40 brand D cigarette showed an average nicotine of 4.8 milligram. If the standard deviation of nicotine is 1.6 milligrams, would you say that brand D has a lesser nicotine content? Use a 0.01 level of significance. Assume the distribution of nicotine content to be normal.

What is the margin of error with 95% confidence (2 = 2.07)? O 0.02 O 66.76 O 0.68 O 6.34
The average "moviegoer" sees 8.5 movies a year. A moviegoer is defined as a person who sees at least one movie in a theater in a 12-month period. A random sample of 42 moviegoers from a large university revealed that the average number of movies seen per person was 9.9. The population standard deviation is 3.2 movies. At the 0.05 level of significance, can it be concluded that this represents a difference from the national average?
Two machines are used for filling plastic bottles with a net volume of 16.0 ounces. The filling processes can be assumed to be normal, with standard deviations of o = 0.015 and o = 0.018. The quality engineering department suspects that both machines fill to the same net volume, whether or not this volume is 16.0 ounces. An experiment is performed by taking a random sample from the output of cach machine. Machine 1 Machine 2 16.03 16.01 16.02 16.03 16.04 15.96 15.97 16.04 16.05 15.98 15.96 16.02 16.05 16.02 16.01 16.01 16.02 15.99 15.99 16.00 (a) State the hypotheses that should be tested in this experiment. (b) Test these hypotheses using a = 0.05. What are your conclusions? (c) Find the P-value for this test. (d) Find a 95 percent confidence interval on the difference in mean fill volume for the two machines.
A manufacturer of a chocolate candies uses machines to package candies as they move along a filing line. A sample of 50 packages is selected and the packaging process stops if there is evidence that mean weight is different from 8.17 ounces. Suppose for a sample of 50 packages, the mean weight is 8.159 ounces with a sample standard deviation of .051 ounces. Is there evidence that the population mean amount is different from 8.17 ounces (use a .05 level of significance)
