Question
The standard deviation for all medium size hot dogs is 49.99 calories. A random selection of 55 different brands of medium size hot dogs has a mean of 239 calories. Comfort Food Magazine states the mean calories of a medium size hot dog size is 233. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean calories of a medium size hot dog is 233 based on level of significance of 0.03?

- A manufacturer of bolts has a quality control policy that requires it to destroy any bolts that are more than 2 standard deviations from the mean. The quality control engineer knows that the bolts coming off the assembly line have mean length of 12 cm with a standard devation of 0.10cm. For what lengths will a bolt be destroyed?arrow_forwardThe number of chocolate chips in a popular brand of cookie is normally distributed with a mean of 21 chocolate chips per cookie and a standard deviation of 1.7 chips. When the cookies come out of the oven, only the middle 90% in terms of the number of chocolate chips are acceptable (the rest are considered defective). What are the cutoff numbers for the number of chocolate chips in acceptable cookies?arrow_forwardYork Manufacturing Inc. offers dental insurance to its employees.

- Fran is training for her first marathon, and she wants to know if there is a significant difference between the mean number of miles run each week by group runners and individual runners who are training for marathons. She interviews 42 randomly selected people who train in groups and finds that they run a mean of 47.1 miles per week. Assume that the population standard deviation for group runners is known to be 4.4 miles per week. She also interviews a random sample of 47 people who train on their own and finds that they run a mean of 48.5 miles per week. Assume that the population standard deviation for people who run by themselves is 1.8 miles per week. Test the claim at the 0.01 level of significance. Let group runners training for marathons be Population 1 and let individual runners training for marathons be Population 2. Step 2 of 3 : Compute the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to two decimal places.arrow_forwardThe amount of pretzels dispensed into a 24- ounce bag by the dispensing machine has been identifed as possessing a normal distribution with a mean of 24.5 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.2 ounce.

The mean yardage for the helium filled footballs was 267 yards with a standard deviation of 3 yards. The mean yardage for the air filled footballs was 241 yards with a standard deviation of 5 yards. Assume the populations are normal with equal variances. (a). Construct a 99% confidence interval for the mean difference in in yardage for the two types of footballs Lower bound (use 3 decimal places) Upper bound (use 3 decimal places) (b).

- A nutritionist wants to determine how much time nationally people spend eating and drinking. Suppose a random sample of 1077 people with mean amount of time spent eating and drinking per day is 1.09 hours with standard deviation of 0.52 hours, 95 percent confident ratearrow_forwardIn a sample of 351 gamers between the ages of 16-25, the mean number of hours spent gaming per week was 42.5 hours. In a sample of 269 gamers between the ages of 26-40, the mean number of hours spent gaming per week was 43.8 hours. If the population standard deviation for the mean number of hours spent gaming per week is 9.5 for the age group 16-25 and 10.7 for the age group 26-40, test the claim that gamers between the ages of 16-25 spend less time gaming per week than gamers between the ages of 26-40. Assume α=0.03. Let population 1 be gamers in the age group 16-25 and population 2 be gamers in the age group 26-40. Round the test statistic to two decimal places, and round the p-value to four decimal places. The test statistic is . The p-value is .

For a random sample of 2,108 meal purchases made at fast food chain B, the mean number of calories was 905, and the standard deviation was 622. Based on these samples, is there convincing evidence that the mean number of calories in fast food chain B meal purchases is less than the mean number of calories in fast food chain A meal purchases? (Test the relevant hypotheses using a 0.05 level of significance. Use ?1 for fast food chain B and ?2 for fast food chain A.) State the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses. Find the test statistic and P-value. (Use SALT. Round your test statistic to one decimal place and your P-value to three decimal places.) t= P-value= State the conclusion in the problem context.
