Labels on 1-gallon cans of paint usually indicate the drying time and the area that can be covered in one coat. Most brands of paint indicate that, in one coat, a gallon will cover between 350 and 500 square feet, depending on the texture of the surface to be painted. One manufacturer, however, claims that a gallon of its paint will cover 450 square feet of surface area. To test this claim, a random sample of twenty 1-gallon cans of white paint were used to paint 20 identical areas using the same kind of equipment. The sample mean and sample standard deviation are: x=445.8 and s=47.5.Test using a = .05 a) If you were the manufacturer and wanted to make sure that your claim that a gallon of its paint will cover 450 square feet of surface area. what null hypothesis and alternate hypothesis would you test? H.:. H: b) What is the test statistic and critical value? c) What conclusion can you draw?

The Etruscans. Anthropologists are still trying to unravel the mystery of the origins of the Etruscan empire, a highly advanced Italic civilization formed around the eighth century B.C. in central Italy. Were they native to the Italian peninsula or, as many aspects of their civilization suggest, did they migrate from the East by land or sea? The maximum head breadth, in millimeters, of 70 modern Italian male skulls and that of 84 preserved Etruscan male skulls were analyzed to help researchers decide whether the Etruscans were native to Italy. The resulting data can be found on the WeissStats site. [SOURCE: N. Barnicot and D. Brothwell, “The Evaluation of Metrical Data in the Comparison of Ancient and Modern Bones.” In a. use the technology of your choice to obtain boxplots for the data sets, using the same scale. b. compare the data sets by using your results from part (a), paying special attention to center and variation.

A consumer protection magazine was interested in comparing tire purchased from two different companies that each claimed their tires would last 40,000 miles. A random sample of 10 tires of each brand was obtained and tested under simulated road conditions. The number of miles until the tread thickness reached a specific depth was recorded for all tires. The data are given next (in thousands miles) Brand 1 38.9 39.7 42.3 39.5 39.6 35.6 36 39.2 37.6 39.5 Brand 2 44.6 46.9 48.7 41.5 37.5 33.1 43.4 36.5 32.5 42.0 a. Test the claim that Brand 1 and Brand 2 both have the same variances for tire life span. Use a 0.05 significance level. b. What is the P-value for your test in part(a)?

Globally, 35% of all ridged brittleshell tortoises have spots on their shells. A herpetologist in Citition collects a sample of 38 ridged brittlesell tortoises and finds that 16 of them have spots on their shells. The herpetologist would like to test the claim that the proportion of ridged brittleshell tortoises in Cititon with spots on their shells is greater than 35%. The herpetologist ends up rejecting the null hypothesis. If the actual proportion of ridged brittleshell tortoises in Cititon with spots on their shells is 41%, then what type of error, if any, has occurred? In the problem above, what is the test statistic?
Recently, the factory began a new production line that is more efficient than the existing production line. However, the factory still needs ball bearings to meet the same specifications. To compare the accuracy of the new process against the existing process, the factory decides to take two random samples of ball bearings. The first sample is of 50 randomly selected ball bearings from the existing production line, and the second sample is of 50 randomly selected ball bearings produced from the new production line. For each sample, the diameters of the ball bearings were measured. Suppose that the factory claims that the proportion of ball bearings with diameter values less than 2.20 cm in the existing manufacturing process is the same as the proportion in the new process. At alpha=0.05, is there enough evidence that the two proportions are the same? Perform a hypothesis test for the difference between two population proportions to test this claim. Given: (data below was calculated…
A customer organization was concerned about the differences between the advertised sizes of containers and the actual amount of product. In a preliminary study, six packages of three different brands of margarine that are supposed to contain 500 ml are listed here.
