In the comparison of two kinds of paint, a consumer testing service finds that four 1-gallon cans of one brand cover on the average 46 square feet with a standard deviation of 31 square feet, whereas four 1-gallon cans of another brand cover on the average 92 square feet with a standard deviation of 26 square feet. Assuming that the two populations sampled are normal and have equal variances, test the null hypothesis u1-42=0 against the alternative hypothesis µ1 - 42 > 0 at the 0.05 level of significance.

Two different brands of milk are randomly sampled, and the fat content in each bottle is determined. Twenty-six bottles of Brand A yielded an average fat content of 26 grams with a standard deviation of 5 grams, and 31 bottles of Brand B yielded an average fat content of 25.8 grams with a standard deviation of 7 grams. Test the hypothesis at the 10% level of significance that the variances are different.
A snack food manufacturer estimates that the variance of the number of grams of carbohydrates in servings of its tortilla chips is 1.25. A dietician is asked to test this claim and finds that a random sample of 22 servings has a variance of 1.35. At ⍶ = 0.05 is there enough evidence to reject the manufacturer’s claim?
In building an arena, steel bars with a mean ultimate tensile strength of 400 Megapascal (MPa) with a variance of 81 MPa were delivered by the manufactured. The project engineer tested 50 steel bars and found out that the mean ultimate tensile strength is 390 MPa. The decision for the extension of the contract with the manufacturer depends on the engineer. Test the hypothesis whether there is no significant difference between the two means using a two-tailed with a=0.01

A manufacturer of potato chips would like to know whether its bag filling machine works correctly at the 445 gram setting. Based on a 29 bag sample where the mean is 438 grams and the variance is 676, is there sufficient evidence at the 0.1 level that the bags are underfilled or overfilled? Assume the population distribution is approximately normal. Step 1 of 5 : State the null and alternative hypotheses.
A sample of size 11 produced a variance of 18. Is this sufficient to reject the null hypothesis that σ2 = 6 when tested using a 0.05 level of significance?
A manufacturer of potato chips would like to know whether its bag filling machine works correctly at the 436 gram setting. Based on a 20 bag sample where the mean is 433 grams and the variance is 121, is there sufficient evidence at the 0.025 level that the bags are underfilled? Assume the population distribution is approximately normal. Step 1 of 5 : State the null and alternative hypotheses.
In building an arena, steel bars with mean ultimate tensile strength of 400 megapascal(Mpa) with a variance of 81 Mpa were delivered by the manufacturer. The project engineer tested 50 steel bars and found out that the mean ultimate tensile strength is 390 MPa. The decision for the extension of the contract with the manufacturer depends on the engineer. Test the hypotheses whether or not there is no significant difference between the two means using a two-tailed test with a=0.01. 1. What are the appropriate hypotheses for the two-tailed test? 2. What is the test statistics to be used and the reasons for its selection? 3. What is the critical value of c? 4. What is the value of the test statistic or the computed value? 5.
