The number of paid reservation that do turn up at a hotel even when they already made a paid reservation is thought to follow Poisson distribution with mean 1.6 reservations per day. The following data shows the number of do not turn up and its corresponding days: No of do not turn up 0 1 2 3 4 greater than 5 total No of days 26 34 17 13 5 5 100 Test the above belief at significance level a = 0.05.

The height of women ages 20-29 is normally distributed, with a mean of 64.6 inches. Assume sigma = 2.8 inches. Are you more likely to randomly select 1 woman with a height less than 65.8 inches or are you more likely to select a sample of 20 women with a mean heigh less than 65.8 inches ?
A simple random sample of n=23 professors at a local community college have a mean course evaluation score of 3.91 with a standard deviation of 0.53. Assuming that the distribution of course evaluation scores is normally distributed, test the claim that the mean course evaluation score is 4.00 for all professors at this community college using a 0.05 significance level.
A poll of 1086 Americans showed that 47.1% of the respondents prefer to watch the news rather than read or listen to it. Use those results with a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that fewer than half of Americans prefer to watch the news rather than read or listen to it. Use the P-value method. Use the normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial distribution.
Assume that the two samples are independent simple random samples selected from normally distributed populations. Do not assume that the population standard deviations are equal. Refer to the accompanying data set. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the sample of home voltages and the sample of generator voltages are from populations with the same mean. If there is a statistically significant difference, does that difference have practical significance?
When testing gas pumps for accuracy, fuel-quality enforcement specialists tested pumps and found that 1303 of them were not pumping accurately (within 3.3 oz when 5 gal is pumped), and 5689 pumps were accurate. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim of an industry representative that less than 20% of the pumps are inaccurate. Use the P-value method and use the normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial distribution. What is the Z score and P Value?
A recent sample survey reports that 66% of 18-to 25-year-old consumers are comfortable sharing personal data with their communication service providers (CSPs). To conduct a follow-up study that would provide 99% confidence that the point estimate is correct to within ± 0.03 of the population proportion, how many 18-to 25-year-old consumers need to be sampled?
In a study of television viewing habits, it is desiredto estimate the average number of hours that teenagersspend watching per week. If it is reasonable to assumethat σ = 3.2 hours, how large a sample is needed so thatit will be possible to assert with 95% confidence that thesample mean is off by less than 20 minutes. (Hint: Referto Exercise 6.)
A manufacturer of chocolate candies uses machines to package candies as they move along a filling line. Although the packages are labeled as 8 ounces, the company wants the pack-ages to contain a mean of 8.17 ounces so that virtually none of the packages contain less than 8 ounces. A sample of 50 packages is selected periodically, and the packaging process is stopped if there is evidence that the mean amount packaged is different from 8.17 ounces. Suppose that in a particular sample of 50 packages, the mean amount dispensed is 8.159 ounces, with a sample standard deviation of 0.051 ounce. Is there evidence that the population mean amount is different from 8.17 ounces? (Use a 0.05 level of significance.) Determine the p- value and interpret its meaning.
The amounts (in ounces) of juice in eight randomly selected juice bottles are: 15.8, 15.6, 15.1, 15.2, 15.1, 15.5, 15.9, 15.5 Construct a 99% confidence interval for the mean amount of juice in all such bottles. Assume an approximate Normal distribution.
On a test of motor coordination, the population of average bowlers has a mean score of 24, with a standard deviation of 6. A random sample of 30 bowlers at Bubba’s Bowling Alley has a sample mean of 26. A second random sample of 30 bowlers, at Babette’s Bowling Alley, has a mean of 18. Using the .05 criterion and both tails of the sampling distribution, decide if each sample represents the population of average bowlers.
A poll of 100 randomly selected car owners revealed that the mean length of time that they plan to keep their cars is 6.75 years and standard deviation is 3.60 years. Test the claim that the mean length of time for all car owners to keep their cars is less than 7.50 years. Use a 0.05 significance level.
