Let x represent the average annual salary of college and university professors (in thousands of dollars) in the United States. For all colleges and universities in the United States, the population variance of x is approximately o² = 47.1. However, a random sample of 17 colleges and universities in Kansas showed that x has a sample variance s² = 82.7. Use a 5% level of significance 1 test the claim that the variance for colleges and universities in Kansas is greater than 47.1. (a) What is the level of significance? State the null and alternate hypotheses. Ho: o²=47.1; H: o> 47.1 Ho: o²=47.1; H: o2 0.100 0.050 a, we fail to reject the null hypothesis. Since the P-value > x, we reject the null hypothesis. Since the P-values ∞, we reject the null hypothesis. Since the P-values a, we fail to reject the null hypothesis. (e) Interpret your conclusion in the context of the application. At the 5% level of significance, there is insufficient evidence to conclude the variance of annual salaries…
Test the hypothesis that the average content of containers of a particular lubricant is 10 L if the contents of a random sample of 10 containers are 10.2, 9.7, 10.1, 10.3, 10.1, 9.8, 9.9, 10.4, 10.3, and 9.8 liters. Use a 0.01 level of significance and assume the distribution of contents is normal.
Suppose, household color TVs are replaced at an average age of μ = 9.0 years after purchase, and the (95% of data) range was from 5.8 to 12.2 years. Thus, the range was 12.2 − 5.8 = 6.4 years. Let x be the age (in years) at which a color TV is replaced. Assume that x has a distribution that is approximately normal. (a) The empirical rule indicates that for a symmetric and bell-shaped distribution, approximately 95% of the data lies within two standard deviations of the mean. Therefore, a 95% range of data values extending from μ − 2σ to μ + 2σ is often used for "commonly occurring" data values. Note that the interval from μ − 2σ to μ + 2σ is 4σ in length. This leads to a "rule of thumb" for estimating the standard deviation from a 95% range of data values. Estimating the standard deviationFor a symmetric, bell-shaped distribution, standard deviation ≈ range 4 ≈ high value − low value 4 where it is estimated that about 95% of the commonly occurring data…

A company manufactures an electrical cooling fan. When the fans are performing properly, samples of 200 fans average 12.5 watts with an average range of 1.2 watts. A 3σ control chart program is being used to monitor the performance of the fans, and these data from the 10 most recent samples were collected: Sample Number Sample Mean Sample Range 1 12.5 1.1 2 12.45 1.2 3 12.55 0.9 4 12.50 0.8 5 12.45 0.9 6 12.60 1.0 7 12.48 1.4 8 12.46 1.1 9 12.56 0.9 10 12.48 0.8 Compute the 3σ control limits and center line for an ⁻x chart.

Researchers conducted a study to determine whether magnets are effective in treating back pain. The results are shown in the table for the treatment (with magnets) group and the sham (or placebo) group. The results are a measure of reduction in back pain. Assume that the two samples are independent simple random samples selected from normally distributed populations, and do not assume that the population standard deviations are equal.

In semiconductor manufacturing, wet chemical etching is often used to remove silicon from the backs of wafers prior to metallization. The etch rate is an important characteristic in this process. Two different etching solutions have been compared, using two random samples of 9 wafers for each solution.
