Question
- A sample of 12 radon detectors of a certain type was selected, and each was exposed to 100 pCi/L of radon. The resulting readings were as follows:
105.6 90.9 91.2 96.9 96.5 91.3
100.1 105.5 99.6 107.7 103.3 92.4
Does this data suggest that the population mean reading under these conditions differ from 100?
- State the null and alternative hypotheses.
- Calculate, correct to 2 decimal places,
- the sample mean, x ; and
- the sample standard deviation, s.
- Evaluate the appropriate test statistic.
- Test these hypotheses at 05 level of significance.

The weight limit will be reported on cable packaging. The engineers take a random sample of 41 cables and apply weights to each of them until they break. The 41 cables have a mean breaking weight of 772.3 lb. The standard deviation of the breaking weight for the sample is 15.3 lb. Find the 95% confidence interval to estimate the mean breaking weight for this type cable.
