Find the quantity (deviance) for testing the hypothesis H0 and the pvalue used
The effectiveness of a new bug repellent is tested on 1616 subjects for a 10 hour period. (Assume normally distributed population.) Based on the number and location of the bug bites, the percentage of surface area exposed protected from bites was calculated for each of the subjects. The results were as follows:
?⎯⎯⎯=92x¯=92, ?=13 s=13
The new repellent is considered effective if it provides a percent repellency of at least 9090. Using ?=0.05α=0.05, construct a hypothesis test with null hypothesis ?≤90μ≤90 and alternative hypothesis ?>90μ>90 to determine whether the mean repellency of the new bug repellent is greater than 9090 by computing the following:
(a) the degree of freedom
(b) the test statistic
The final conclusion is
A. There is not sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis that ?≤90μ≤90. Our results do not provide enough evidence that the new bug repellent is effective. B. We can reject the null hypothesis that ?≤90μ≤90. Our results indicate that…
A company specializes in producing bunkers located in places with extremely cold climates under 0°C. A prototype for a new bunker design using different structure design and materials was tested to have the following average interior temperatures: 23.01, 22.22, 22.04, 22.62, and 22.59. Test that the average interior temperature is equal to 22.5 °C using α = 0.05.

For her experiment, she randomly selects 15 items currently in stock and proceeds to establish a baseline. The 15 items are priced at their usual competitive values, and the quantity of each item sold for a 1-week period is recorded.
