Question
Assume that a simple random sample has been selected from a normally distributed population and test the given claim. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses, test statistic, P-value, and state the final conclusion that addresses the original claim.
A simple random sample of 25 filtered 100 mm cigarettes is obtained, and the tar content of each cigarette is measured. The sample has a mean of 19.2mg and a standard deviation of 3.22 mg. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the mean tar content of filtered 100 mm cigarettes is less than 21.1 mg, which is the mean for unfiltered king size cigarettes. What do the results suggest, if anything, about the effectiveness of the filters?
1. What is the test statistic?
2. What is the p-value?

However, two researchers currently involved in the subject thought that the mean temperature of humans is less than 98.6°F. They measured the temperatures of 50 healthy adults 1 to 4 times daily for 3 days, obtaining 225 measurements. The sample data resulted in a sample mean of 98.4°F and a sample standard deviation of 1°F. Use the P-value approach to conduct a hypothesis test to judge whether the mean temperature of humans is less than 98.6°F at the oa = 0.01 level of significance. State the hypotheses.

- An automobile manufacturer has given its van a 53.1 miles/gallon (MPG) rating. An independent testing firm has been contracted to test the actual MPG for this van since it is believed that the van performs under the manufacturer's MPG rating. After testing 200 vans, they found a mean MPG of 52.9. Assume the population standard deviation is known to be 1.6. Is there sufficient evidence at the 0.05 level to support the testing firm's claim?
