The mean SAT score in mathematics, u, is 596. The standard deviation of these scores is 47. A special preparation course claims that its graduates will score higher, on average, than the mean score 596. A random sample of 90 students completed the course, and their mean SAT score in mathematics was 608. At the 0.05 level of significance, can we conclude that the preparation course does what it claims? Assume that the standard deviation of the scores of course graduates is also 47. Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places, and round your responses as specified below. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) State the null hypothesis H and the alternative hypothesis H,. Ho :0 H :0 (b) Determine the type of test statistic to use. (Choose one) ▼ D=0 OSO (c) Find the value of the test statistic. (Round to three or more decimal places.) (d) Find the critical value. (Round to three or more decimal places.) (e) Can we support the preparation course's claim that its graduates score higher in SAT? OYes ONo

The combined SAT scores for the students at a local high school are normally distributed with a mean of 1540 and a standard deviation of 299. The local college includes a minimum score of 2377 in its admission requirements. What percentage of students from this school earn scores that fail to satisfy the admission requirement? Give your answer as a percentage rounded to one decimal place.
Pyramid Lake is on the Paiute Indian Reservation in Nevada. The lake is famous for cutthroat trout. Suppose a friend tells you that the average length of trout caught in Pyramid Lake is ? = 19 inches. However, a survey reported that of a random sample of 51 fish caught, the mean length was x = 18.6 inches, with estimated standard deviation s = 2.9 inches. Do these data indicate that the average length of a trout caught in Pyramid Lake is less than ? = 19 inches? Use ? = 0.05. i-What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
A researcher collected data from Boston police officers and found that on average they spent 14.3 hours on in-service training per year with a standard deviation of 3.2. The department offers bonuses for officers in the top 10 percent on in-service training completed. Would the officer who did 22 hours of training get the bonus?

Pyramid Lake is on the Paiute Indian Reservation in Nevada. The lake is famous for cutthroat trout. Suppose a friend tells you that the average length of trout caught in Pyramid Lake is ? = 19 inches. However, a survey reported that of a random sample of 46 fish caught, the mean length was x = 18.4 inches, with estimated standard deviation s = 2.7 inches. Do these data indicate that the average length of a trout caught in Pyramid Lake is less than ? = 19 inches? Use ? = 0.05. Solve the problem using the critical region method of testing (i.e., traditional method). (Round the your answers to three decimal places.) test statistic = critical value = State your conclusion in the context of the application. Reject the null hypothesis, there is sufficient evidence that the average fish length is less than 19 inches.Reject the null hypothesis, there is insufficient evidence that the average fish length is less than 19 inches.
