An 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 the hypotheses Ho: µ=22.5 versus H1: µz 22.5, using a=0.05. Find the P-value.

Suppose that samples of polythene bags from two manufacturers A and B are tested by a prospective buyer for bursting pressure, with the following results: If the prices are the same, which manufacture’s bags would be preferred by the buyer? Why?
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 an 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. Write down the hypotheses that would be appropriate for testing if the police officers appear to have been exposed to a higher concentration of lead. Explicitly state and check all conditions necessary for inference on these data. 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…
A nationwide study of undergraduate students reported that the mean number of drinks consumed per week during the spring semester is 7.96. The mean number of drinks consumed per week at USC is 7.64 (s.d.=2.55, N=412 Health services is concerned that USC students are consuming significantly more alcohol per week than the national average. Using an alpha level of .05, Is there sufficient evidence to be concerned? Be sure to select the correct critical value for the alternative hypothesis, and then use this evidence to make your conclusion
Consider the following: In general, when people diet they typically lose 10 lbs. (?σ = 2). A random sample of 16 people on the keto diet lost 15 lbs. Do people on the keto diet lose more or less weight than people on diets in general? 3. What is the Null Hypothesis? a)On average, weight loss in the keto diet sample does not differ from weight loss in the population of dieters in general. (H0: X-bar = Mu)) b)On average, weight loss in the keto diet sample does not differ from weight loss in the population of dieters in general. (H0: X-bar does not equal Mu) c)On average, weight loss in the keto diet sample differs from weight loss in the population of dieters in general. (H0: X-bar does not equal Mu) d)On average, weight loss in the keto diet sample differs from weight loss in the population of dieters in general. (H0: X-bar = Mu)
An urban community wants to show that the incidence of breast cancer is higher in their locality than in a neighboring rural area. (PCB levels were found to be higher in the soil of the urban community). If you find that in the urban community 20 out of 200 adult women have breast cancer and that in the rural community 10 out of 150 adult women have it, could you conclude, at a significance level of 0.05, that breast cancer is more prevalent in the urban community?1. The parameter of interest is:2. The hypotheses for this test are:3. The calculated test statistic is:4. The critical region is:5. Draw the critical region (make decision):6. It can be concluded that:
An electrical engineer wishes to determine if, among two specific municipal buildings in town, Building “North” and Building “South”, whether the tensile strength of pipes (in psi) is not the same in each of these two buildings. A sample of pipes was chosen at random from both Building “North” and Building “South”, respectively. Using α = 0.05, which of the following statistical test, or parameter, would be best for determining whether tensile strength of pipes (in psi) is not the same in each of these two buildings? (Assume all statistical assumptions met.) a) Binomial Distribution b) Population Difference in Means (i.e., Unpaired Data) c) The Chi-Squared Test of Independence d) Population Mean Difference (i.e., Paired Data)

In the February 20th issue of the East Daily Times, it was reported that n = 418 insured patientswere surveyed on their opinions about insurance rates. Of the 418 surveyed, Y = 280 blamedrising insurance rates on large court settlements against doctors. With 95% confidence, estimate the parameter p, that is, the proportion of all insured patients who blame rising insurance rateson large court settlements against doctors.

The article “Structural Performance of Rounded Dovetail Connections Under Different Loading Conditions” (T. Tannert, H. Prion, and F. Lam, Can J Civ Eng, 2007:1600–1605) describes a study of the deformation properties of dovetail joints. In one experiment, 10 rounded dovetail connections and 10 double rounded dovetail connections were loaded until failure. The rounded connections had an average load at failure of 8.27 kN with a standard deviation of 0.62 kN. The double-rounded connections had an average load at failure of 6.11 kN with a standard deviation of 1.31 kN. Can you conclude that the mean load at failure is greater for rounded connections than for double-rounded connections?
