Past experience indicates that the time required for high school seniors to complete a standardized test is a normal random variable with a mean of 35 minutes. A random sample of 20 high school seniors took an average of 33.1 minutes to complete this test with a standard deviation of 4.3 minutes. Test the hypothesis verifying that, at the 0.05 level of significance, that completion time is at least 35 minutes. What is the relevant limit of the critical region?

A simple random sample of the ages of 72 hospital nurses was withdrawn from a normal population with standard deviation 11.3 years. If the sample mean average is x=34.6 years, use alpha=0.01 significance level to test the claim that the mean age of hospital nurses when they started their careers is more than 32 years. Use methods:z-stat and p-value.
Determine the critical value for a left-tailed test regarding a population proportion at the α=0.01 level of significance.
A random of 15 freshmen takers obtained a mean score of 74 and a variance of 9 on a SASE. Assuming the scores to be normally distributed, construct a 95% confidence interval to estimate the variance of scores of the whole freshmen population.
A lot size of 500 cartons of food A is to be inspected using ANSI/ASQ Z1.4-2003 (refer to Appendix), with an AQL of 1.5% for critical defect and 2.5% for major defect of a double normal level II plan. Explain how acceptance and rejection can be done on a critical and a major defect.
Two types of artificial knee are to be compared for range of motion, measured in degrees. Theoretically, either could give a greater range. A journal article on the first type of knee gave a sample mean of 112 degrees, with a standard deviation of 13 degrees, and an article on the second type gave a sample mean of 118 degrees with a standard deviation of 11 degrees. We want to perform a new randomized trial to decide whether a 6 degree difference is statis-tically detectable using a 5% significance level, and maintaining at least 90% power. We are willing to assume that the population standard deviation is somewhere between the sample standard deviations reported in the two articles. What is the minimum number of subjects receiving each type of knee (in a balanced design) we must record? Hint: Your answer should be a number, representing the number of subjects receiving a Type 1 knee (which will be equal to the number receiving a Type 2 knee).
