A soft drink company wanted to know whether their new drink “PopFizzy” could maintain its fizziness from the first to last sip. They recruited 100 volunteers to rate the fizziness of their first sip, and again for their

The table below contains pulse rates after running for 1 minute, collected from a sample of females who drink alcohol. The mean pulse rate after running for 1 minute of females who do not drink is 97 beats per minute. Do the data show that the mean pulse rate of females who do drink alcohol is higher than the mean pulse rate of females who do not drink? Test at the 9% level. pulse rate after running one minute in bpm 80 139 71 100 75 86 128 78 99 72 80 145 106 82 83 185 92 5 151 107 129 62 72 64 44 106 71 122 124 58 102 128 132 110

How do we set an "alpha level" in science? How is this related to our comparison with a "p-value"?

Before every flight, the pilot must verify that the total weight of the load is less than the maximum allowable load for the aircraft. The aircraft can carry 40 passengers, and a flight has fuel and baggage that allows for a total passenger load of 6,250 lb. The pilot sees that the plane is full and all passengers are men. The aircraft will be overloaded if the mean weight of the passengers is greater than 6,250 lb / 40 = 163 lb. What is the possiblity that the aircraft is overloaded? Should the pilot take any action to correct an overloaded aircraft? Assume that the weights of men are normally distributed with a mean of 177.3 lb and a standard deviation of 39.3 The probability is approximately
