Perform the test hypothesis on the following scenarios.
In building an arena, steel bars with a mean ultimate tensile strength of 400 Megapascal (MPa) with a variance of 81 MPa were delivered by the manufacturer. The project engineer tested 50 steel bars and found out that the mean ultimate tensile strength is 390 MPa. The decision for the extension of the contract with the manufacturer depends on the engineer. Test the hypothesis whether there is no significant difference between the two means using a two - tailed with a=0.01 .
A study assessed the lung destructive index among smokers and non- smokers provided the following data Smokers : overline x 1 =14.5 n 1 =12 S P =2.50 Non- Smokers: overline x 2 =9.5 n 2 =10 a = .05 From the available data, can we conclude that smokers have greater lung damage than non-smokers?
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

The valve was tested on 160 engines and the mean pressure was 7.7 pounds/square inch (psi). Assume the population variance is 0.36. If the valve was designed to produce a mean pressure of 7.8 psi, is there sufficient evidence at the 0.01 level that the valve performs below the specifications?

Suppose, for example, that a researcher obtains a correlation (computed from the raw data) of r = 0.60 for a sample of n = 10 participants. (4 pts. total) Is this sample sufficient to conclude that a significant correlation exists in the population? Use a two-tailed test with α = .05.

- In a study examining the effect of alcohol on reaction time, Liguori and Robinson (2001) found that even moderate alcohol consumption significantly slowed response time to an emergency situation in a driving simulation. In a similar study, researchers measured reaction time 30 minutes after participants consumed one 6-ounce glass of wine. Again, they used a standardized driving simulation task for which the regular population averages μ = 400 msec. The distribution of reaction times is approximately normal with σ = 40. Assume that the researcher obtained a sample mean of M = 422 for the n = 25 participants in the study. a. Are the data sufficient to conclude that the alcohol has a significant effect on reaction time?
