14. Carbohydrates in Candy The number of grams of carbohydrates contained in 1-ounce servings of randomly selected chocolate and nonchocolate candy is shown. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that there is a difference between the variation in carbohydrate content for chocolate and nonchocolate candy? Use α = 0.10.

Assume you want to know whether the prices of meatballs change during the christmas holiday season. You therefore go to 14 meat-stores before the holiday to check the prices of one kilo of meatballs.
In the middle of the holidays, you walk around to the same 14 meat-stores and check the prices again. The results of your research is seen in the table in the picture below.
Make a hypothesis test, where you test whether the prices have changed between the two surveys.
Use ? = 0.05

One issuegives a rating system used to classify Northeaster storms that frequently hit New England and can cause muchdamage near the ocean. A severe storm has an average peak wave height of μ=16.4 ft for waves hitting the shore. Suppose that a Northeaster is in progress at the severe storm class rating. Peak wave heights are usually measured from land (using binoculars) off fixed cement piers. Suppose that a reading of 36 waves showed on average wave height of x̄=17.3 ft. Previous studies of severe storms indicate that σ=3.5 ft. . Does this information suggest that the storm is perhaps temporarily increasing above the severe rating?

State alpha. What is your decision? Write a conclusion. Answer any other questions asked in the problem. 107 . According to the Center for Disease Control website, in 2011 at least 18% of high school students have smoked a cigarette. An Introduction to Statistics class in Davies County, KY conducted a hypothesis test at the local high school (a medium sized–approximately 1,200 students–small city demographic) to determine if the local high school’s percentage was lower. One hundred fifty students were chosen at random and surveyed. Of the 150 students surveyed, 82 have smoked. Use a significance level of 0.05 and using appropriate statistical evidence, conduct a hypothesis test and state the conclusions.arrow_forward

For her experiment, she randomly selects 15 items currently in stock and proceeds to establish a baseline. The 15 items are priced at their usual competitive values, and the quantity of each item sold for a 1-week period is recorded. Then, without changing their price, she places a large ad in the newspaper, advertising the 15 items. Again, she records the quantity sold for a 1-week period. The results follow.
