Question

Transcribed Image Text: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 6.5 pounds/square inch. It is believed that the valve performs above the specifications. The valve was tested on 210 engines and the mean pressure was 6.6
pounds/square inch. Assume the standard deviation is known to be 0.6. A level of significance of 0.01 will be used. Find the value of the test statistic. Round your
answer to 2 decimal places.
Enter the value of the test statistic.

- Erin is a nutritionist and cardiologist. She is testing whether the average total cholesterol level of adults in the region is less than 175mgdL. Erin randomly selects 25 people in the region who willingly allowed their blood to be drawn for the survey. Based on several previous studies, Erin assumes that the population standard deviation for the total cholesterol level is 30.22mgdL. For this test: H0:μ=175; Ha:μ<175, which is a left-tailed test. The test results are: z0=−1.158, p-value is = 0.123 Using a 5% level of significance, which of the following are appropriate conclusions for this hypothesis test? Select all that apply.
