An appliance manufacturer claims to have developed a compact microwave oven that consumes a mean of no more than 250 W. From previous studies, it is believed that power consumption for microwave ovens is normally distributed with a population standard deviation of 15 W. A consumer group has decided to try to discover if the claim appears true. They take a sample of 20 microwave ovens and find that they consume a mean of 257.3 W.

The population of interest is

		the power consumption in the 20 microwave ovens.
		the mean power consumption in the 20 microwave ovens.
		the mean power consumption in all such microwave ovens.
		the power consumption in all such microwave ovens.

A manufacturer has developed a new fishing line, which the company claims has a mean breaking strength of 14.5 kilograms with a standard deviation of 0.8 kilograms. Believing the mean breaking strength is less than what company has claimed, a customer protection agency took a random sample of 40 such fishing lines and found that the mean breaking strength for this sample is 13.2 kilograms. Given the breaking strength of all such lines have a normal distribution, test whether the...
