The concentration of hexane (a common solvent) was measured in units of micrograms per liter for a simple random sample of nineteen specimens of untreated ground water taken near a municipal landfill. The sample mean was 289.2 with a sample standard deviation of 6.3. Twenty-two specimens of treated ground water had an average hexane concentration of 285.3 with a standard deviation of 7.6.It is reasonable to assume that both samples come from populations that are approximately normal. Can you conclude that the mean hexane concentration is less in treated water than in untreated water? Use the α = 0.10 level of significance. Use 6-step p-value method.
The average American consumes 86 liters of alcohol per year. Does the average college student consume more alcohol per year? A researcher surveyed 13 randomly selected college students and found that they averaged 91.1 liters of alcohol consumed per year with a standard deviation of 21 liters. What can be concluded at the the αα = 0.05 level of significance?
For this study, we should use
The null and alternative hypotheses would be:
H0:H0:
H1:H1:
The test statistic = (please show your answer to 3 decimal places.)
The p-value = (Please show your answer to 4 decimal places.)
The p-value is αα
Based on this, we should the null hypothesis.
Thus, the final conclusion is that ...
The data suggest the population mean is not significantly more than 86 at αα = 0.05, so there is statistically insignificant evidence to conclude that the population mean amount of alcohol consumed by college students is equal to 86 liters per year.

Sony would like to test the hypothesis that the average age of a PlayStation user (mu 1) is greater than the average age of an Xbox user (mu 2). A random sample of 36 PlayStation users had an average age of 34.2 years while a random sample of 30 Xbox users had an average age of 32.7 years. Assume that the population standard deviation for the age of PlayStation and Xbox users is 3.9 and 4.0 years, respectively. Sony would like to set alpha = 0.01. The critical value is ________ and the null hypothesis should _______.
Select one:
a. -2.33; be rejected.
b. 2.33; not be rejected.

- A simple random sample of 52 adults is obtained from a normally distributed population, and each person's red blood cell count (in cells per microliter) is measured. The sample mean is 5.25 and the standard deviation is 0.67. Use a 0.06 significance level to test the claim that the sample is from a population with a mean equal to 5.4, which is a value often used for the upper limit of the range of normal values. What do the results suggest about the sample group? Show all your work on paper. Enter a critical value with 2-decimal places. show formulas and draw all curves.arrow_forwardThe concentration of hexane (a common solvent) was measured in units of micrograms per liter for a simple random sample of twelve specimens of untreated ground water taken near a municipal landfill. The sample mean was 720.2 with a sample standard deviation of 8.8. Eleven specimens of treated ground water had an average hexane concentration of 695.1 with a standard deviation of 9.1.It is reasonable to assume that both samples come from populations that are approximately normal. Construct a 90% confidence interval for the reduction of hexane concentration after treatment. Interpret the results.arrow_forwardA random sample of 46 adult coyotes from Northern Minnesota showed the average age to be sample mean of 2.05 years. The population standard deviation is known to be o = 1.13 years. However, it is thought that the average age of coyotes is u = 1.75 years. Test to see if the coyotes in Northern Minnesota live longer than the national average of 1.75 years. Use 0.03 level of significance. What are the hypotheses?
