Hypothesis Test with a Known Standard Deviation
After many years of commuting, Suzy knows that the can bike to her office in 17 minutes with a standard
deviation of 1 minute. While shopping, she finds an all-natural energy drink and decides to use it to shorten
her commute time. Suzy records 12 morning commutes with an average time of 16.5 minutes in which she
drank the energy drink before biking. Is there sufficient evidence to show that the energy drink helped?

- Accordi the historical data, the life expectancy in Mexico is equal to the life expectancy in Spain. A new study has been made to see whether this has changea. Records of 205 individuals from Mexico who died recently are selected at random. The 205 individuals lived an average of 71.8 years with a standard deviation of 2.6 years. Records of 250 individuals from Spain who died recently are selected at random and independently. The 250 individuals lived an average of 71.2 years with a standard deviation of 3.0 years. Assume that the population standard deviation of the life expectancy can be estimated by the sample standard deviations, since the samples that are used to compute them are quite large. At the 0.05 level of significance, is there enough evidence to support the claim that the life expectancy, H1, in Mexico is not equal to the life expectancy, µ,, in Spain anymore?

The sample mean was 9.42 with a standard deviation of 13.23 . A second sample of 1031 adults was taken in the year 2012 . For this sample, the mean was 10.63 with a standard deviation of 14.47. Assume these are simple random samples from populations of adults. Can you conclude that the mean number of hours per week spent on the Internet increased between 2010 and 2012?
