The recommended daily dietary allowance for zinc among males older than age 50 years is 15 mg/day. An article reports the following summary data on intake for
a sample of males age 65-74 years: n =
115, x = 12.7, and s = 6.84. Does this data indicate that average daily zinc intake in the population of all males age
65-74 falls below the recommended allowance? (Use a =
:0.05.)
Each year the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) releases fuel economy data on cars manufactured in that year. Below are summary
statistics on fuel efficiency (in miles/gallon for city driving) from random samples of cars with manual and automatic transmissions manufactured in 2012.
We want to know if there is a statistical difference between the average fuel efficiencies between the two different types of transmission.

We want to know if this average has changed in the past 15 years. In other words, we are going to do a study in which we try to determine whether there has been an impact of the passage of time on the amount of time college students spend studying. We selected a sample of n = 64 of today’s college students and find that they spent an average of M = 12.5 hours per week studying. Does this sample indicate a significant change in the number of hours spent studying? Use a two-tailed test (this means non-directional hypothesis) with α = .05.arrow_forward
