The state of CT claims that the average time on death row is 15 years. A random survey of 75 death row inmates revealed that the average length of time on death row is 16.2 years with a standard deviation of 5.5 years. Conduct a hypothesis to test the state of CT's claim. Calculate the p-value:

On the planet of Mercury, 4-year-olds average 2.8 hours a day unsupervised. Most of the unsupervised children live in rural areas, considered safe. Suppose that the standard deviation is 1.3 hours and the amount of time spent alone is normally distributed. We randomly survey one Mercurian 4-year-old living in a rural area. We are interested in the amount of time X the child spends alone per day.
A random sample of 47 cars in the drive-thru of a popular fast food restaurant revealed an average bill of $17.51 per car. The population standard deviation is $6.05. Estimate the mean bill for all cars from the drive thru with 91% confidence.
Entrance exam scores at Cititon University are normally distributed with a mean of 552 and a standard deviation of 29. If scholarships are awarded to the top 10% of scores, what is the minimum score needed to guarantee a scholarship?
On the planet of Mercury, 4-year-olds average 3.1 hours a day unsupervised. Most of the unsupervised children live in rural areas, considered safe. Suppose that the standard deviation is 1.3 hours and the amount of time spent alone is normally distributed. We randomly survey one Mercurian 4-year-old living in a rural area.

Traveling between University of Santo Tomas and Rizal Park, Manila via shuttle bus takes, on average, 28 minutes with a standard deviation of 10 minutes. In a given time, a bus transported passengers 40 times. What is the probability that the average transport time was greater than 30 minutes? Assume the mean time is measured to the nearest minute.
claim the standard deviation of pulse rates in adult women is at least 50. for a random sample of adult females the pulse rates have a standard deviation of 11.6.
In a school district, all sixth grade students take the same standardized test. The superintendant of the school district takes a random sample of 3030 scores from all of the students who took the test. She sees that the mean score is 169169 with a standard deviation of 7.06747.0674. The superintendant wants to know if the standard deviation has changed this year. Previously, the population standard deviation was 1313. Is there evidence that the standard deviation of test scores has decreased at the α=0.005α=0.005 level? Assume the population is normally distributed. Step 1 of 5: State the null and alternative hypotheses. Round to four decimal places when necessary. Step 2 of 5: Determine the critical value(s) of the test statistic. If the test is two-tailed, separate the values with a comma. Round your answer to three decimal places. Step 3 of 5: Determine the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to three decimal places. Step 4 of 5: Make the…
Traveling between University of Santo Tomas and Rizal Park, Manila via shuttle bus takes, on average, 31 minutes with a standard deviation of 5 minutes.
