In the past, a chemical company produced 880 pounds of a certain type ofplastic per day. Now, using a newly developed and less expensive process, the meandaily yield of plastic for the first 50 days of production is 871 pounds; the standarddeviation is 21 pounds.Do the data provide sufficient evidence to indicate that the mean daily yield for thenew process is less than that of the old procedure? (Use α=0.05)(a) Alternative hypothesis for the problem above isμ < 871Ο μ > 871Ομ <880μ > 880<

Given that Sample size n =50 Sample mean =871 Standard deviation =21 Population mean μ =880

Answered: 1. In the past, a chemical company…

An auto manufacturer claims that the variance of the gas mileage in a model of a hybrid vehicle is 0.16. A random sample of 30 vehicles has a variance of 0.26. At alpha = 0.05, is there enough evidence to reject the claim? Assume the population is normally distributed.

Historically, the proportion of people who trade in their old car to a car dealer when purchasing a new car is 48%. Over the previous six months, in a sample of 115 new car buyers, 46 have traded in their old car. To determine (at the 10% level of significance) whether the proportion of new car buyers that trade in their old car has this is statistically significantly decreased, what can you conclude concerning the null hypothesis? A) reject the null hypothesis Or B) fail to reject the null hypothesis
A person read that the average number of hours and adult sleeps on Friday night to Saturday morning was 7.3 hours. The researcher feels that college students do not sleep 7.3 hours on average. The researcher randomly selected 17 students and found that on average they slept 8.5 hours. The standard deviation of the sample is 1.4 hours. At (alpha) = 0.01, is there enough evidence to say that college students do not sleep 7.3 hours on average? Assume that the population is approximately normally distributed. Use the critical value method and tables. A. State the hypotheses and identify the claim with the correct hypothesis. B. Find the critical value(s). C. Compute the test value. D. Make the decision. E. Summarize the results.

A mixture of pulverized fuel ash and Portland ce-ment to be used for grouting should have a true aver-age compressive strength of more than 1300 KN/m2. The mixture will not be used unless experimental evidence indicates conclusively that the strength specification has been met. State the relevant hy-potheses, and describe the type I and type II errors in the context of this problem.
A major credit card company is interested in the proportion of individuals who use a competitor’s credit card. Their null hypothesis is H0: p=0.65H0: p=0.65, and based on a sample they find a sample proportion of 0.70 and a pp-value of 0.053. Is there convincing statistical evidence at the 0.05 level of significance that the true proportion of individuals who use the competitor’s card is actually greater than 0.65 ?
It is desired to test the claim that a steady diet of wolfbane will cause a lycanthrope (werewolf) to lose 10 lbs. over 5 months. A random sample of 56 lycanthropes was taken yielding an average weight loss over 5 months of 12.5 pounds, with S = 7 lbs. Identify the critical value suitable for conducting a two-tail test of the hypothesis at the 5% level.
