A physical education instructor believes that a given vitamin supplement can increase strength. To test this claim several athletes are tested to measure their maximum bench press. They are then placed on the given supplement for two weeks and tested again. The results are provided below. Test the hypothesis that the supplement is not effective in improving strength against the alternative that it is. Set alpha at 0.01.

An article includes the accompanying data on compression strength (lb) for a sample of 12-oz aluminum cans filled with strawberry drink and another sample filled with cola. Beverage Sample Size Sample Mean Sample SD Strawberry Drink 10 535 24 Cola 10 559 15 Does the data suggest that the extra carbonation of cola results in a higher average compression strength? Base your answer on a P-value. (Use ? = 0.05.) State the relevant hypotheses. (Use ?1 for the strawberry drink and ?2 for the cola.)

A test of hypothesis has the following details: H0: µ = 50 vs Ha: µ < 50, n = 64, σ = 8, α = 0.04, x¯ = 47, and σ is What is the critical value for this test? (Hint: You will need to use R to calculate the solution to this question). (a) CV = −1.750686 (b) CV = 1.554774 (c) CV = 1.750686 (d) CV = −1.554774
Researchers interested in lead exposure due to car exhaust sampled the blood of 52 police officers subjected to constant inhalation of automobile exhaust fumes while working traffic enforcement in a primarily urban environment. The blood samples of these officers had an average lead concentration of 124.32 µg/l and a SD of 37.74 µg/l; a previous study of individuals from a nearby suburb, with no history of exposure, found an average blood level concentration of 35 µg/l. Test the hypothesis that the downtown police officers have a higher lead exposure than the group in the previous study. Interpret your results in context. Based on your preceding result, without performing a calculation, would a 99% confidence interval for the average blood concentration level of police officers contain 35 µg/l? Based on your preceding result, without performing a calculation, would a 99% confidence interval for this difference contain 0? Explain why or why not.

The article in the ASCE Journal of Energy Engineering (1999, Vol. 125, pp.59-75) describes a study of the thermal inertia properties of autoclaved aerated concrete used as a building material. Five samples of the material were tested in a structure, and the average interior temperatures (°C) reported were as follows: 23.01, 22.22, 22.04, 22.62, and 22.59. Test that the average interior temperature is equal to 22.5°C using alpha (a) = 0.05. This problem is a test on what population parameter? What is the null and alternative hypothesis? What are the Significance level and type of test? What standardized test statistic will be used? What is the standard test statistic? What is the Statistical Decision? What is the statistical decision in the statement form?
