A nationwide study of undergraduate students reported that the mean number of drinks consumed per week during the spring semester is 7.96. The mean number of drinks consumed per week at USC is 7.64 (s.d.=2.55, N=412
Health services is concerned that USC students are consuming significantly more alcohol per week than the national average. Using an alpha level of .05, Is there sufficient evidence to be concerned? Be sure to select the correct critical value for the alternative hypothesis, and then use this evidence to make your conclusion
At the 5% level of significance, which variables are statistically significant?
If the price of cement per yard increases by 10, what will happen to the estimated quantity of cement demanded? What happens if it will increase by 20%?
According to the February 2008 Federal Trade Commission report on consumer fraud and identity theft, 23% of all complaints in 2007 were for identity theft. In that year, Alaska had 321 complaints of identity theft out of 1,432 consumer complaints ("Consumer fraud and," 2008). Does this data provide enough evidence to show that Alaska had a lower proportion of identity theft than 23%? Test at the 5% level.

- Researchers interested in lead exposure due to car exhaust sampled the blood of 52 police officers subjected to constant inhalation of automobile exhaust fumes while working traffic enforcement in a primarily urban environment. The blood samples of these officers had an average lead concentration of 124.32 µg/l and a SD of 37.74 µg/l; a previous study of individuals from a nearby suburb, with no history of exposure, found an average blood level concentration of 35 µg/l. Based on your preceding result, without performing a calculation, would a 99% confidence interval for the average blood concentration level of police officers contain 35 µg/l?
