A simple random sample was taken of 44 water bottles from a bottling plant’s warehouse. The dissolved oxygen content (in mg/L) was measured for each bottle, with these results: 11.53, 8.35, 11.66, 11.54, 9.83, 5.92, 7.14, 8.41, 8.99, 13.81, 10.53, 7.4, 6.7, 8.42, 8.4, 8.18, 9.5, 7.22, 9.87, 6.52, 8.55, 9.75, 9.27, 10.61, 8.89, 10.01, 11.17, 7.62, 6.43, 9.09, 8.53, 7.91, 8.13, 7.7, 10.45, 11.3, 10.98, 8.14, 11.48, 8.44, 12.52, 10.12, 8.09, 7.34

Here the sample mean is 9.14 mg/L.

The population standard deviation of the dissolved oxygen content for the warehouse is known from long experience to be about σ = 2 mg/L.

Consider testing H0 : µ = 10 vs. HA : µ 6= 10, where µ is the unknown population mean dissolved oxygen content, at significance level α = .02 (not the usual .05).

(a) A Z test is appropriate here because we have a SRS with a large n. Find the value of the test statistic and the p-value

(b) What conclusion do you reach?

A simple random sample of 25 observations will be taken from a population that is assumed to be normal with a standard deviation of 37. We would like to test the alternative hypothesis that the standard deviation is actually more than 37. If the sample standard deviation is 40 or more, then the null hypothesis will be rejected (this called a decision rule). What significance level would this decision rule cause? If the population standard deviation is really 42, what...
