The average gasoline price of one of the major oil companies in Oman has been OMR 0.95 per gallon. The company is not interested in increasing or decreasing the current prices of gasoline. A random sample of 36 of their gas stations is selected and the average price is determined to be OMR 0.945 per gallon. Furthermore, assume that the population standard deviation is OMR 0.024. Then the 90% critical value for this hypothesis test is O A. ±1.96 O B. ±1.25 O C. ±1.25 O D. ±1.645

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 fish hatchery manager estimates that on average fisherpersons catch 3.5 fisheach fishing trip. A random sample of 10 fisherpersons showed they caught 3.9 fishper trip, with a standard deviation of 1.7 fish per trip. Perform a test of hypothesisat a 0 .10 alpha level to determine whether or not her claim is true. Use a two tailedtest of hypothesis and the critical value method.
The average weight of a package of rolled oats is supposed to be at least 18 ounces. A sample of 18 packages shows a mean of 17.78 ounces with a standard deviation of 0.41. At alpha/a = .05, what is the null hypothesis?
A researcher found that a cigarette smoker smokes on average 30 cigarettes a day. She feels that this average is too low. She selected a random sample of 11 smokers and found that the mean number of cigarettes they smoked per day was 31. The sample standard deviation was 2.5. At (alpha) = 0.05, is there enough evidence to support her claim? 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.
The capacity of a brand of pipette may be modelled by a normal distribution, and it is claimed that the population mean capacity is 5 millilitres. A random sample of 10 pipettes of this brand is selected, and the capacity of each measured, giving a sample mean of 4.9 millilitres and a sample standard deviation of 0.2 millilitres. Perform a hypothesis test, at a 10% level of significance, to investigate whether or not the population mean capacity of pipettes of this brand is different from 5 millilitres.
A manufacturer of air conditioners seeks to ensure that their air conditioners are efficient enough that they will use no more than 2800 watt/hr under typical usage.The quality control department has tested a sample of 63 air conditioner units and found an average energy use of 7000 watts/hr. From previous tests, it can safely be assumed that the population standard deviation is 10000 watts/hr. Use the p-value approach and a 0.01 level of significance to test to see if the air conditioners are using too much energy. What is the P value?
The owner of a coin-operated hot coffee machine has received claims that there is an error in his machine, and it is not dispensing enough hot coffee into hand-held cups. He takes a random sample of 46 “8 oz servings” from a large number of servings and finds that the mean is 7.93 fluid ounces with a standard deviation of 0.38 ounces. Is this evidence of error in the machine if ? = 0.05? Use the P-Value method.
A company that sells carrot seeds for heavy, clay soil conducts a yearly quality-control test to see, among other things, if it can still say that the average length of carrots from the seeds will be 11.5cm. Aside this test, you take a random sample of 40 of these carrots from a field of mature carrots and find that their average length is 11.8. Assuming that the population of length measurements is still normally distributed with standard deviation of 1.15cm, at level of significance, is there enough evidence to reject the claim?
A sample of 20 elements selected from a population produced a mean of 65 and a standard deviation of 9. Another sample of 25 elements selected from another population produced a mean of 58 and a standard deviation of 11. Assume that the two populations are normally distributed and the standard deviations of the two populations are equal. The null hypothesis is that the means of the two populations are equal and the alternative hypothesis is that the means of the two populations are not equal. The significance level is 5%. The critical values of t are: a. –2.014 and 2.014 b. –2.017 and 2.017 c. –1.681 and 1.681 d. –1.679 and 1.679
An economist collects a simple random sample of 32 teacher's salaries in Cititon, and finds a mean of $67,000 and a standard deviation of $8,000. Is there enough evidence to conclude, at a significance of alpha= 0.05, that the mean salary of teachers in Cititon is different than $70,000? What is the test statistic? What is the null hypothesis? What conclusion do we draw? Do we reject the null hypothesis? What is/ are the critical value(s)? What is the alternative hypothesis? What is the p-value for the problem above?
