19. Is Old Faithful Not Quite So Faithful? Listed below are time intervals (min) between eruptions of the Old Faithful geyser. The “recent” times are within the past few years, and the “past” times are from 1995. Does it appear that the mean time interval has changed? Is the conclusion affected by whether the significance level is 0.05 or 0.01?

In Exercises 1–5, use the following survey results: Randomly selected subjects were asked if they were aware that the Earth has lost half of its wildlife population during the past 50 years. Among 1121 women, 23% said that they were aware. Among 1084 men, 26% said that they were aware (based on data from a Harris poll).
Biodiversity When testing the claim that p1 = p2 , a test statistic of z = −1.64 is obtained. Find the P-value for the hypothesis test.

- Using Normal Approximation. In Exercises 5–8, do the following: If the requirements of np ≥ 5 and nq are both satisfied, estimate the indicated probability by using the normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial distribution; if np ≤ 5 or nq < 5, then state that the normal approximation should not be used.

- An alloy manufacturer is investigating if they can improve the strength of one of their alloysby producing it at a lower temperature. To investigate that, they produce the alloy at twodifferent temperatures (high and low) and then measure the breaking strength of randomsamples of specimens from each.

- do question 4, 5 and 6 only The new study claims that the probability of contracting the winter flu among vaccinated high school children is less than 0.5. Assume that p is the population proportion of vaccinated high school children who contract the flu. The appropriate framework to test the new study's claim is H0:p>0.5 vs H1:p<0.5 H0:p=0 vs H1:p≠0 H0:p=0 vs H1:p>0 H0:p=0.5 vs H1:p<0.5 Question 4 The new study takes a random sample of 14 vaccinated high school children. Let x be the number of children in the sample who contract the flu. The p-value for the test can be calculated from a Binomial distribution using P(X≤x).
