Question
A manufacturer states that the assembly time of a certain component is 3 hours. The population standard deviation for the assembly time of such components is 15 minutes. Fifty components are selected, and the average assembly time is found to be 3.1 hours. Test the manufacturer's claim using a level of significance of 0.05.

- Daily Driving The average number of miles a person drives per day is 24. A researcher wishes to see if people over age 60 drive less than 24 miles per day. She selects a random sample of 25 drivers over the age of 60 and finds that the mean number of miles driven is 22.5. The population standard deviation is 4.1 miles. At a = 0.01, is there sufficient evidence that those drivers over 60 years old drive less than 24 miles per day on average? Assume that the variable is normally distributed.
