- It was reported that last year the average price of a gallon gasoline in a city X was $3.15. This year a sample of 50 gas station had an average price of $3.10 for a gallon. We assume that the population standard deviation of prices is $0.15. We are interested in determining whether this year mean price is less than last year.

The owner has hired you to perform a hypothesis test to see if using a new menu will have any effect on the variance, o“. To do so, you survey a random sample of 19 customers who ordered from the new menu. For the customers surveyed, the variance of ratings is 44.3. Under the assumption that the customer ratings using the new menu follow a normal distribution, you will perform a chi-square test. Find x, the value of the test statistic for your chi-square test.

- An electronic company's records show that the mean number of circuit.boards rejected per batch is 5.7 with a variance of 1.4. Due to a change in the molding process, factory management has hired you to perform a hypothesis test to check if the variance, o, has increased. To do so, you test a random sample of 10 batches produced using the new process; the number of circuit boards rejected per batch has a sample variance of 2.5. Under the assumption that the number of circuit boards rejected per batch using the new process follows a normal distribution, you will perform a chi-square test. Find x, the value of the test statistic for your chi-square test.

- An engineer designed a valve that will regulate water pressure on an automobile engine. The engineer designed the valve such that it would produce a mean pressure of 5.5 pounds/square inch. It is believed that the valve performs above the specifications. The valve was tested on 24 engines and the mean pressure was 5.7 pounds/square inch with a variance of 0.49. A level of significance of 0.01 will be used. Assume the population distribution is approximately normal. Make the decision to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis.arrow_forwardAn engineer has designed a valve that will regulate water pressure on an automobile engine. The valve was tested on 260 engines and the mean pressure was 4 lbs/square inch. Assume the variance is known to be 0.64. If the valve was designed to produce a mean pressure of 4.1 lbs/square inch, is there sufficient evidence at the 0.02 level that the valve does not perform to the specifications?
