A standard method of analyzing aspirin tablets has a known variance of 25. A sample of 10 aspirin tablets is selected and analysed for the amount of aspirin using a modified method, yielding the following results: 254, 249, 252, 252, 249, 249, 250, 247, 251, 252. Determine whether the precision of the modified method is significantly different from that of the standard method at, alpha(a) = 0.05.

A snack food manufacturer estimates that the variance of the number of grams of carbohydrates in servings of its tortilla chips is 1.141.14. A dietician is asked to test this claim and finds that a random sample of 2424 servings has a variance of 0.950.95. At alpha equals 0.10α=0.10, is there enough evidence to reject the manufacturer's claim? Assume the population is normally distributed.

The titanium content of steel is determined in two laboratories by means of atomic absorptionspectrometry. The following data were obtained: Lab 1 0.470 0.484 0.463 0.449 0.482 0.454 0.477 0.409 Lab 2 0.529 0.490 0.489 0.512 0.486 0.502 - - A.

A new material is being tested for use in the manufacture of electrical conduit, to determine whether it will reduce the variance in crushing strength over the old material. Crushing strengths are measured for a sample of size 16 of the old material and a sample of size 20 of the new material. If it is shown that the crushing strength with the new material has smaller variance, the new material will be used.
A scrap metal dealer claims that the mean of his cash sales is 'no more that R80', but an Internal Revenue Service agent believes the dealer is untruthful. The agent randomly selects a sample of 20 cash customers and find the mean purchase to be R91, with a variance of R441. What is the critical value?
The mean ±1 sd of ln [calcium intake (mg)] among 25 females, 12 to 14 years of age, below the poverty level is 6.56 ± 0.64. Similarly, the mean ± 1 sd of ln [calcium intake (mg)] among 40 females, 12 to 14 years of age, above the poverty level is 6.80 ± 0.76. Now, please answer all the parts 1 and 2 : 1. Test for a signifcant difference between the variances of the two groups. 2. Compute a 95% CI for the difference in means between the two groups.

The average travel time going from Bulacan to Laguna is at most 3.5 hours. A bus company conducts a study consisting of 55 trials to verify this. Results show that on the average, the travel time from Bulacan to Laquna is 4.2 hours with a variance of 6.76 squared hours. Assume that the level of significance is 0.01.
It is known that the average yield per plant is 180 g and the variance is 250 g for a type of strawberry. 10 of this plant seed was grown in soils cultivated with a special method and average yield was observed to be 200 gr. Soil cultivation Test whether the method raises the yield average. (a = 0.05)
The table to the right shows the cost per ounce (in dollars) for a random sample of toothpastes exhibiting very good stain removal, good stain removal, and fair stain removal. At alpha equals0.05 , can you conclude that the mean costs per ounce are different? Perform a one-way ANOVA test by completing parts a through d. Assume that each sample is drawn from a normal population, that the samples are independent of each other, and that the populations have the same variances.
