A research knows that the average height of Filipino women is 1.525 meters. A random sample of 26 women was taken and was found to have a mean height of 1.56 meters with standard deviation of 0.10 meters. Is there reason to believe that the 26 women in the sample are significantly taller than the others at 0.05 significant level?

An experiment was performed to see if the color of paper an exam is printed on could affect scores on the exam. Doyle took a standardized exam on blue paper, usually it is taken on white, and scored 85. The national average on this exam is 70 with a standard deviation of 5. What would constitute as a Type I error and Type II error?

Many people believe that the average number of Facebook friends is 142. The population standard deviation is 31.2. A random sample of 44 high school students in a particular county revealed that the average number of Facebook friends was 155. At ? = 0.05, is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean number of friends is greater than 142?
A normally distributed standardized English test is known to have a mean score of 73 and a standard deviation of 10. The test is given to 40 sophomore students and the class mean is 76. Using 1% level of significance, test if the population average is not 73.
A population of adult fish in East Lake are known to have an average weight of 7kilograms and standard deviation of 1.5 kilograms. If you caught an adult fish in East Lake that weighed 10 kilograms, would this be a very unusual fish? Why or why not?
It seems these days that college graduates who are employed full-time work more than 40-hour weeks. Data are available that can help us decide if this is true. A survey was recently sent to a group of adults selected at random. There were 15 respondents who were college graduates employed full-time. The mean number of hours worked per week by these 15 respondents was 43 hours, with a standard deviation of 8 hours. Assume that the population of hours worked per week by college graduates employed full-time is normally distributed with mean μ. Can we conclude that μ is greater than 40 hours? Use the 0.05 level of significance. State the null hypothesis H0 and the alternative hypothesis H1 Find the t-test df & Solve the t-test value Find the critical value Can we conclude, at the 0.05 level of significance, that the mean number of hours worked per week by college graduates is greater than 40 hours? Yes or No?
Forty refrigerators from two different models of a refrigerator manufacturer are compared to see if the smaller model uses less energy than the larger model. The energy was measured in kilowatt hours per month (kwh/mo). From years of testing these models, it is known that the standard deviation of kwh/mo is 34 kwh/mo for the smaller model and 40 kwh/mo for the larger one. From this survey, the sample means and standard deviations are 125 and 34, and 90 and 40, respectively. If we conduct a hypothesis test, the p-value is Group of answer choices 0.0000 0.0010 0.0004 0.0002
A manufacturer of bolts has a quality-control policy that requires it to destroy any bolts that are more than 2 standard deviations from the mean. The quality-control engineer knows that the bolts coming off the assembly line have mean length of 10 cm with a standard deviation of 0.05 cm. For what lengths will a bolt be destroyed?

In 2019, College Board reported that the mean score for the math section of the SAT was 528 with a standard deviation of 110. A math department at local university would like to give a scholarship to any student that scored in the top 2.5% of students in the math section.

A study was conducted to investigate the effect of a new drug on blood pressure. A sample of 25 patients was randomly selected and their blood pressure was measured both before and after taking the drug. The sample mean blood pressure before taking the drug was 120 mmHg and the sample mean blood pressure after taking the drug was 118 mmHg. The sample standard deviation for the blood pressure before taking the drug was 4 mmHg and the sample standard deviation for the blood pressure after taking the drug was 5 mmHg. Test the hypothesis that the average blood pressure after taking the drug is lower than the average blood pressure before taking the drug using a 0.01 level of significance.
