Question
Students estimated the length of one minute without reference to a watch or clock, and the times (seconds) are listed below. Assume that a simple random sample has been selected. Use a 0.10 significance level to test the claim that these times are from a population with a mean equal to 60 seconds. Does it appear that students are reasonably good at estimating one minute?

Perform the test assuming that the requirements are met. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses.
Identify the significance level for this test?
P-value?
If the P-value is less than or equal to the significance level, reject the null hypothesis Ho. Otherwise, fail to reject Ho. State a final conclusion that addresses the original claim. Based on the results, decide whether it appears that students are reasonably good at estimating one minute.

- Listed in the accompanying table are heights (in.) of mothers and their first daughters. The data pairs are from a journal kept by Francis Galton. Use the listed paired sample data, and assume that the samples are simple random samples and that the differences have a distribution that is approximately normal. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that there is no difference in heights between mothers and their first daughters.
