- Good credit: The Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO) credit score is used by banks and other lenders to determine whether someone is a good credit risk. Scores range from 300 to 850 , with a score of 720 or more indicating that a person is a very good credit risk. An economist wants to determine whether the mean FICO score is more than the cutoff of 720 . She finds that a random sample of 120 people had a mean FICO score of 740 with a standard deviation of 90 . Can the economist conclude that the mean FICO score is greater than 720 ?

The machine is designed so that the mean diameter of the catheter it makes can change but the standard deviation can't. The population standard deviation is .05 mm. Right now the machine is supposed to be making catheters with a mean diameter of 2 mm. During production an inspector checks the diameter of catheters to see if the machine has slipped out of the adjustment. A random sample of 50 catheters is taken. If the mean diameter for the sample is 2.04 mm, does this indicate the machine has slipped out of adjustment and the population average diameter of the catheter is no longer 2mm.
