  1. A random sample of 35 standard metropolitan statistical areas (SMSAs) was selected and the ratio (per 1,000) of registered voters to the total number of persons 18 years and over was recorded in each area. Use the sample data given to test the research hypothesis that the population average ratio is greater than 675, last year’s average ratio. Use =.025.

#test statistics=(xbar-)/s/sqrt(n)

=(711.94286-675)/81.783/sqrt(35)

=2.6723

#degree of freedom =n-1=34

P-value=P(t34>2.673)

P-value=0.0057---- using t-table with corresponding df=34

P-value<0.025 hence reject Ho

#Conclusion:

reject Ho and Conclude that there is sufficent evidence that population average ratio is greater than 675,

A simple random sample of 35 men from a normally distributed population results in a standard deviation of 11.4 beats per minute. The normal range of pulse rates of adults is typically given as 60 to 100 beats per minute. If the range rule of thumb is applied to that normal range, the result is a standard deviation of 10 beats per minute. Use the sample results with a 0.10 significance level to test the claim that pulse rates of...
