Workers in the office like to drink coffee during work. A doctor is concerned about this situation since the too much coffee consumption may result to long-term health problems. However, studies suggests that there is no risk in drinking three cups of coffee per day, which is about 250 mg of caffeine. The doctor wants to know if the amount of caffeine consumed by the workers is within tolerable limits. He randomly selected 20 students and found that they consume an average of 270 mg of caffeine each day with a standard deviation of 48 mg. Assume that the daily amount of caffeine consumed by students follow the normal distribution.1. Which of the following sets of hypotheses should be used in this study?
A. Ho: μ = 250 vs. Ha: μ > 250
B. Ho: μ ≤ 250 vs. Ha: μ > 250
C. Ho: μ = 270 vs. Ha: μ > 270
D. Ho: μ = 270 vs. Ha: μ ≠ 270

2.) A ski gondola in Vail, Colorado that carries skiers up a mountain bears a plaque stating thatthe maximum capacity is 12 people or 2004 lb. A worst-case scenario would be 12 adult malepassengers, since they tend to be heavier than women or children. Assume adult male weightsare normally distributed with a mean of 188.6 lb. and standard deviation of 38.9 lb.a.) If 12 men weighed exactly 2004 lb., what would be the average weight?b.) Find the probability that a single man will have a weight greater than your result from part(a).c.) Find the probability that 12 randomly selected men will have a weight greater than yourresults from part (a).d.) Does the gondola appear to have the correct weight limit? Why or why not?
