- The amount of chlorine in 100 cm3 water taken from a water tank was measured, the average was 2.15 mg was found. The expert claims that the amount of chlorine in the water is greater than that measured. For this reason, 100 households were randomly selected, with an average chlorine content of 2.55mg and a variance of 0.49 mg.

In California any motorcycle made after 1980 may not be any louder than 80 decibels. Harley Davidson claims their mean decibel rating on bikes is 70 with a variance of 10. The variance of the noise is questioned. Just because Harley has a mean that is less than 80, they could still be producing louder than acceptable bikes. The federal EPA conducts a sample of 30 bikes and determines the variance to be 20 decibels. Is there enough evidence to question Harley’s claim of 10 decibels?arrow_forwardDo men score lower on average compared to women on their statistics final exams?Final exam scores of 15 randomly selected male statistics students and 13 randomly selected female statistics students are shown below.Test the claim that men score lower on the statistics final exam than women do at the α = 0.025 level of significance.

- Sony would like to test the hypothesis that the average age of a PlayStation user is different from the average age of an Xbox user. A random sample of 32 PlayStation users had an average age of 33.7 years while a random sample of 36 Xbox users had an average age of 35.6 years. Assume that the population standard deviation for the age of PlayStation and Xbox users is 3.7 and 3.5 years, respectively. Also assume population variances are equal. Sony would like to set alpha= 0.05.

If a single fan blade broke during operation, it could severely endanger a flight. A large engine contains thousands of fan blades, and safety regulations require that variability measurements on the population of all blades not exceed ?2 = 0.18 mm2. An engine inspector took a random sample of 81 fan blades from an engine. She measured each blade and found a sample variance of 0.28 mm2. Using a 0.01 level of significance, is the inspector justified in claiming that all the engine fan blades must be replaced? (b) Find the value of the chi-square statistic for the sample.

- A light bulb manufacturer wants to compare the mean lifetimes of two of its light bulbs, model A and model B. Independent random samples of the two models were taken. Analysis of 10 bulbs of model A showed a mean lifetime of 1347 hours and a standard deviation of 92 hours. Analysis of 13 bulbs of model B showed a mean lifetime of 1380 hours and a standard deviation of 111 hours. Assume that the populations of lifetimes for each model are normally distributed and that the variances of these populations are equal. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference −μ1μ2 between the mean lifetime μ1 of model A bulbs and the mean lifetime μ2 of model B bulbs. Then find the lower limit and upper limit of the 95% confidence interval. Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places. Round your responses to at least two decimal places.

Researchers conducted a study to determine whether magnets are effective in treating back pain. Pain was measured using the visual analog scale, and the results given below are among the results obtained in the study. Assume that population variances are equal and unknown, use a = 0.05 to test the claim that those treated with magnets have a greater reduction in pain than those given a sham treatment. Find the value of the statistic.

A medical student decides to test this claim. The sample variance of resting heart rates, measured in beats per minute, for a random sample of 9 smokers is 480.7. The sample variance for a random sample of 9 nonsmokers is 131.6. Assume that both population distributions are approximately normal and test the study’s claim using a 0.10 level of significance. Does the evidence support the study’s claim? Let smokers be Population 1 and let nonsmokers be Population 2. Step 1 of 3: State the null and alternative hypotheses for the test.

Assume scores on the anxiety scales are normally distributed and the variance among the group of bullies and bystanders are the same. A group of 30 bullies scores an average of 21.5 with a sample standard deviation of 10 on the anxiety scale. A group of 27 bystanders scored an average of 25.8 with a sample standard deviation of 8 on the anxiety scale. You do not have any presupposed assumptions whether bullies or bystanders will be more anxious so you formulate the null and alternative hypothesis based on that.arrow_forwardA professor claims that the final exam grades are more widely dispersed in Principles classes compared to upper-level classes.
