Question

Transcribed Image Text:The National Weather Service says that the mean daily high temperature
for October in a large mid-western city is 56°F. A local weather service
suspects that this value is not accurate and wants to perform a hypothesis
test to determine whether the mean is actually lower than 56°F. A sample
of mean daily high temperatures for October over the past 37 years yields
a sample mean of 54° F. Assume that the population standard deviation is
5.6° F. Perform the hypothesis test at the 1% significance level.

This study established that body temperature is normally distributed and the standard normal human body temperature is 98.6°F with a standard deviation of 0.72 °F. In a recent study, American researchers obtained 5,000 axillary temperatures from a Los Angeles hospital. The mean of these temperature readings was 97.9 °F. Assuming a Type I error risk of no more than 5%, did the findings support the theory that human, body temperature has decreased since the 1800s? What is the Z crit?arrow_forward

The lake is famous for cutthroat trout. Suppose a friend tells you that the average length of trout caught in Pyramid Lake isμ=19 inches. However, a survey reported that of a simple random sample of 38 fish caught, the mean length was 19.9 inches, with estimated standard deviation of 3.1 inches. Do these data indicate that the average length of a trout caught in Pyramid Lake is different from μ=19inches? Use α=0.001. What is the value of the test statistic?

Ten cities in the northeast are randomly selected and the mean rainfall amount is calculated to be 7.42 inches with a standard deviation of 1.3 inches. At the α = 0.05 level, can it be concluded that the mean rainfall was below the reported average? What if α = 0.01? Assume the amount of summer rainfall follows a normal distribution. Please also state if the assumption of normal distribution was essential for solving this question. You will need to specify the appropriate hypothesis, identify the statistical test, estimate p-value (using R command), and state your conclusion in the context of the problem. For the conclusion, please use the following template.
