Suppose a market analyst wants to determine whether the average price of a gallon of whole milk in Seattle is greater than Atlanta. To do so, he takes a telephone survey of 21 randomly selected consumers in Seattle who have purchased a gallon of milk and asks how much they paid for it. The analyst undertakes a similar survey in Atlanta with 18 respondents. Assume the population variance for Seattle is 0.03, the population variance for Atlanta is 0.015, and...

A national study shows that in 2006 the average price of gasoline was $2.51 per gallon. The population standard deviation was shown to be $0.61. A 2007 random study of 81 Maryland gas stations showed the average price of gasoline per gallon to be $2.73. Is there significant evidence to suggest that the average price of a gallon of gasoline is more in Maryland in 2007? Test at the 10% significance level.

Suppose a study reports that the average price for a gallon of self-serve regular unleaded gasoline is $3.76. You believe that the figure is higher in your area of the country. You decide to test this claim for your part of the United States by randomly calling gasoline stations. Your random survey of 25 stations produces the following prices. $3.87 $3.89 $3.76 $3.80 $3.97 3.80 3.83 3.79 3.80 3.84 3.76 3.67 3.87 3.69 3.95 3.75 3.83 3.74 3.65 3.95 3.81...
