Researchers claim that 60 tissues are the average number of tissues a person uses during the course of a flu. The company who makes Kleenex brand tissues thinks that fewer of the tissues are needed. What are their null and alternative hypotheses? A. Ho: u=60 vs Ha: µ>60 B. Ho: u=60 vs Ha: µ<60 C. Ho: x=60 vs Ha: <60 D. Ho: u<60 vs Ha: µ =60

A report in LTO stated that the average age of taxis in the Philippines is 9 years. An operations manager of a large taxi company selects of 40 taxis and finds the average age of the taxis is 8.2 years. The of the population is 2.3 years. At can it be concluded that the average age of the taxis in his company is less than the national average?
Suppose that 15% of a Canadian wholesaler’s food products are gluten-free. Furthermore, 70% of its products are peanut-free. Assume that the use of nuts and gluten-containing products are independent. 1. (a) What percentage of this wholesaler’s products contain at least one of the two allergens? (b) What percentage of this wholesaler’s products are allergen-free? 2. What percentage of this wholesaler’s products contain peanuts but no gluten?
Any athlete who fails the Enormous State University's women's soccer fitness test is automatically dropped from the team. Last year, Mona Header failed the test, but claimed that this was due to the early hour. (The fitness test is traditionally given at 5 AM on a Sunday morning.) In fact, a study by the ESU Physical Education Department suggested that 48% of athletes fit enough to play on the team would fail the soccer test, although no unfit athlete could possibly pass the test. It also estimated that 42% of the athletes who take the test are fit enough to play soccer. Assuming these estimates are correct, what is the probability that Mona was justifiably dropped? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

Kentville, a community of 10,000 people, resides next to a krypton mine, and there is a concern that the emission from the krypton smelter have resulted in adverse effects. Specifically, Kryptonosis seems to have killed 12 of Kentville’s inhabitants last year. A neighboring community, Lanesburg, has 25,000 inhabitants and is far enough from the smelter to not be affected by the emission. In Lanesburg, only three people last year died of Kryptonosis. Given that the number of deaths in Kentville and their causes last year were: Heart attack=7 Accidents=4 Kryptonosis=12 Other=6 What is the risk of dying of Kryptonosis in Kentville relative to non-contaminated locality?What is the risk of dying of Kryptonosis in Kentville relative to deaths due to other causes? How many times the chance of dying of Kryptonosis compared to dying of accidents ? How many times the chance of dying of Kryptonosis compared to Other causes?
A soda company sells one of its soft drinks in 12 ounce cans. In order to ensure that every can has at least 12 ounces in it, the machines in the factory are set to fill each can with an average of 12.1 ounces of soda. Every week, a quality-control technician tests 10 cans to make sure that the average amount of soda in the cans is still 12.1 ounces. If the conclusion of the test is that the number of ounces of soda in the cans is different from 12.1, the technician will declare that the process is out of control, and the machine will be stopped and calibrated. From previous tests, the technician found that the standard deviation of the number of ounces of soda in the cans is approximately 0.01. The number of ounces of soda in the 10 cans that were tested this week is given below. Assume that the standard deviation from the technician's previous tests is the population standard deviation. Use a TI-83, TI-83 Plus, or TI-84 calculator to test whether filling process is out of control and…
2. A leading researcher in the study of interstate highway accidents proposes that a major cause of many collisions on the interstates is not the speed of the vehicles but rather the difference in speeds of the vehicles. When some vehicles are traveling slowly while other vehicles are traveling at speeds greatly in excess of the speed limit, the faster-moving vehicles may have to change lanes quickly, which can increase the chance of an accident. Thus, when there is a large variation in the speeds of the vehicles in a given location on the interstate, there may be a larger number of accidents than when the traffic is moving at a more uniform speed. The researcher believes that when the standard deviation in speed of vehicles exceeds 10 mph, the rate of accidents is greatly increased. During a 1-hour period of time, a random sample of 50 vehicles is selected from a section of an interstate known to have a high rate of accidents, and their speeds are recorded using a radar gun. The data…
A national study found that treating people appropriately forhigh blood pressure reduced their overall mortality by 20%.Treating people adequately for hypertension has been difficult because it is estimated that 50% of hypertensives donot know they have high blood pressure, 50% of those whodo know are inadequately treated by their physicians, and50% who are appropriately treated fail to follow this treatment by taking the right number of pills. 2 If the preceding 50% rates were each reduced to40% by a massive education program, then what effectwould this change have on the overall mortality rate amongtrue hypertensives; that is, would the mortality rate decreaseand, if so, what percentage of deaths among hypertensivescould be prevented by the education program?
A sample of n = 25 individuals is selected from a population with m = 80 and a treatment is administered to the sample. What is expected if the treatment has no effect? a The sample mean should be very different from 80 and should lead you to reject the null hypothesis. b The sample mean should be very different from 80 and should lead you to fail to reject the null hypothesis. c The sample mean should be close to 80 and should lead you to reject the null hypothesis. d The sample mean should be close 80 and should lead you to fail to reject the null hypothesis.

According to one survey taken a few years ago, 32% of American households have attempted to reduce their long-distance phone bills by switching long-distance companies. Suppose that business researchers want to test to determine if this figure is still accurate today by taking a new survey of 95 American households who have tried to reduce their long-distance bills. Suppose further that of these 95 households, 24% say they have tried to reduce their bills by switching long-distance companies. Is this result enough evidence to state that a significantly different proportion of American households are trying to reduce long-distance bills by switching companies? Let α = .01.

According to one survey taken a few years ago, 32% of American households have attempted to reduce their long-distance phone bills by switching long-distance companies. Suppose that business researchers want to test to determine if this figure is still accurate today by taking a new survey of 80 American households who have tried to reduce their long-distance bills. Suppose further that of these 80 households, 23% say they have tried to reduce their bills by switching long-distance companies. Is this result enough evidence to state that a significantly different proportion of American households are trying to reduce long-distance bills by switching companies? Let α = .01.
