- According to previous studies, the mean distance each visitor in Greenspan National Park hikes during their visit is 30 kilometers. The park recently closed its shuttle system, which used to transport hikers to many of the park's most popular hiking trails. Because of this, an administrator at the park suspects the mean distance, u, is now less than 30 kilometers. The administrator chooses a random sample of 45 visitors. The mean distance hiked for the sample is 27.2 kilometers. Assume the population standard deviation is 9.9 kilometers. Can the administrator conclude that the mean distance hiked by each visitor is now less than 30 kilometers? Perform a hypothesis test, using the 0.10 level of significance.

To do this, they recruit 35 NCAA sprinters and time their 100-meter dash wearing the company's shoe and then time their 100-meter dash again wearing the competitor’s shoe. The difference of these times is then calculated asTimecompany.shoe−Timecompetitor.shoe. The sample mean difference in times is 0.53 seconds and the sample standard deviation is 1.1. Conduct a hypothesis test at theα=0.1 level.
