### Hypothesis Testing on Mean Daily High TemperatureThe National Weather Service states that the mean daily high temperature for October in a large Midwestern city is \( 57^\circ F \). 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 \( 57^\circ F \). ### Given Data- Sample Mean (\(\bar{X}\)): \( 55^\circ F \)- Population Standard Deviation (\(\sigma\)): \( 5.7^\circ F \)- Significance Level (\(\alpha\)): 0.01We want to perform the hypothesis test at the \(\alpha = 0.01\) significance level.### Hypothesis Statements1. Greater than \(57^\circ F\): - Null Hypothesis (\(H_0\)): \( \mu = 57^\circ F \) - Alternative Hypothesis (\(H_a\)): \( \mu > 57^\circ F \) - Test statistics: \( z = -1.92 \) - Critical Value: \( z = -2.33 \) - Conclusion: Fail to reject \(H_0: \mu = 57^\circ F\). There is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that the mean is greater than \(57^\circ F\).2. Less than \(57^\circ F\): - Null Hypothesis (\(H_0\)): \( \mu = 57^\circ F \) - Alternative Hypothesis (\(H_a\)): \( \mu < 57^\circ F \) - Test statistics: \( z = -1.92 \) - Critical Value: \( z = -2.33 \) - Conclusion: Fail to reject \(H_0: \mu = 57^\circ F\). There is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that the mean is less than \(57^\circ F\).### SummaryFor both hypothesis tests, the test statistics provided (\(z = -1.92\)) is compared against the critical value (\(z = -2.33\)). In both cases, the null hypothesis is not rejected, indicating insufficient evidence to support either of the alternative hypotheses regarding the mean daily high temperatures differing from \( 57^\circ F \).

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 54o F. Assume that the population standard deviation is 5.6° F.

A simple random sample of 46 men from a normally distributed population results in a standard deviation of 9.6 beats per minute. The normal range of pulse rates of adults is typically given as 60 to 100 beats per minute. If the range rule of thumb is applied to that normal range, the result is a standard deviation of 10 beats per minute. Use the sample results with a 0.10 significance level to test the claim that pulse rates of men have a standard deviation equal to 10 beats per minute. Complete parts (a) through (d) below.

An engineer has designed a valve that will regulate water pressure on an automobile engine. The valve was tested on 200 engines and the mean pressure was 4.4 lbs/square inch. Assume the standard deviation is known to be 0.9. If the valve was designed to produce a mean pressure of 4.5 lbs/square inch, is there sufficient evidence at the 0.02 level that the valve performs below the specifications? State the null and alternative hypotheses for the above scenario.

The manufacturer of a particular brand of tires claims they average at least 50,000 miles before needing to be replaced. From past studies of this tire, it is known that the population standard deviation is 8,000 miles. A survey of tire owners was conducted. From the 21 tires surveyed, the mean lifespan was 41500 miles. Using alpha = 0.05, can we prove that the data in inconsistent with the manufacturers claim? What is the Test Statistic
