An auto manufacturer claims that the variance of the gas mileage in a model of a hybrid vehicle is 0.16. A random sample of 30 vehicles has a variance of 0.26. At alpha = 0.05, is there enough evidence to reject the claim? Assume the population is normally distributed.
A soft drink dispensing machine is said to be out of control if the variance of the contents exceeds 1.15 deciliters. If a random sample of 25 drinks from this machine has a variance of 2.03 deciliters, does this indicate at a significance level of 0.05 that the machine is out of control? Assume that the contents are approximately normally distributed. Note:The exercise in the image is in Spanish, to make the exercise more understandable.
Given that age of ECU students is normally distributed. A random sample of 16 students had an average age of 25 years and a variance of 4 square years. The 98% CI for the true average age of all ECU students is?
A person read that the average number of hours and adult sleeps on Friday night to Saturday morning was 7.3 hours. The researcher feels that college students do not sleep 7.3 hours on average. The researcher randomly selected 17 students and found that on average they slept 8.5 hours. The standard deviation of the sample is 1.4 hours. At (alpha) = 0.01, is there enough evidence to say that college students do not sleep 7.3 hours on average? Assume that the population is approximately normally distributed. Use the critical value method and tables. A. State the hypotheses and identify the claim with the correct hypothesis. B. Find the critical value(s). C. Compute the test value. D. Make the decision. E. Summarize the results.
A mixture of pulverized fuel ash and Portland cement to be used for grouting should have a compressive strength of more than 1,300 KN/m2. The mixture will not be used unless experimental evidence indicates conclusively that the strength specification has been met. Suppose compressive strength for specimens of this mixture is normally distributed with σ = 61. Let μ denote the true average compressive strength. For a test with α = 0.01, what is the probability that the mixture will be judged unsatisfactory when in fact μ = 1,350 (a type II error)? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

An automobile manufacturer who wishes to advertise that one of its models achieves 30 mpg (miles per gallon) decides to carry out a fuel efficiency test. Six nonprofessional drivers were selected, and each one drove a car from Phoenix to Los Angeles. The resulting fuel efficiencies (in miles per gallon) are given below. 27.2 29.2 31.2 28.5 30.3 29.5 Assuming that fuel efficiency is normally distributed under these circumstances, do the data contradict the claim that true average fuel efficiency is (at least) 30 mpg? Test the appropriate hypotheses at significance level 0.05. (Use a statistical computer package to calculate the P-value. Round your test statistic to two decimal places and your P-value to three decimal places.) t= P-value = State the conclusion in the problem context. Reject H0. We have convincing evidence that the mean fuel efficiency under these circumstances is less than 30 miles per gallon.Do not reject H0. We have convincing evidence that the mean fuel…
A snack food manufacturer estimates that the variance of the number of grams of carbohydrates in servings of its tortilla chips is 1.34. A dietician is asked to test this claim and finds that a random sample of 16 servings has a variance of 1.22. At α=0.05, is there enough evidence to reject the manufacturer's claim? Assume the population is normally distributed. Complete parts (a) through (e) below.
In a study examining overweight and obese college football players, Mathews and Wagner(2008) found that on average both offensive and defensive linemen exceeded the at-risk criterionfor body mass index (BMI). BMI is a ratio of body weight to height squared and is commonlyused to classify people as overweight or obese. Any value greater than 30 kg/m2 is considered tobe at risk. In the study, a sample of n = 17 offensive linemen averaged M = 34.4 with a standarddeviation of s = 4.0. A sample of n = 19 defensive linemen averaged M = 31.9 with s = 3.5a. Use a single-sample t test to determine whether the offensive linemen are significantly abovethe at-risk criterion for BMI. Use a one-tailed test with α = .01.b. Use a single-sample t test to determine whether the defensive linemen are significantly abovethe at-risk criterion for BMI. Use a one-tailed test with α = .01.c. Use an independent-measures t test to determine whether there is a significant differencebetween the offensive linemen…
