Stressed though you are by this terrible sight, you realize that you must catch the murderer. Fortunately, you have the presence of mind to measure the temperature of the body: 82.6 Fahrenheit. Then, you realize that you should round up all possible suspects... Colonel Mustard has an alibi from 3 pm – 5 pm and 9:30 pm – 5 am, Mr. Green has an alibi from 4pm – 9pm, and Mrs. Peacock has an alibi from 8pm – 1am. At 11 am, you measure the temperature of the body again (81.7 degrees Fahrenheit) and the temperature at which the Billiard Room is kept (72 degrees Fahrenheit).

- (b) After receiving complaints from McDonald’s customers in Japan about the amount of french fries being served, the on-line news magazine ”Rocket News” decided to test the actual of the fries served at a particular Japanese McDonald’s restaurant. According to the Rocket News article, the official weight standard set by McDonald’s of Japan is for a medium sized fries to weigh 120 grams. The publication weighed the fries from 25 different medium fries they purchased and found the average weight of the fries in their sample to be 115 grams with variance of 100 grams. Research Question: Does the data suggest that the medium fries from this McDonald’s in Japan are underpacked? Use α =0.05. I computed TS correctly and it is Z = -2.5. Based upon the guidelines in 9.5, this TS leads to reject H0 .
