1. Assume that a simple random sample has been selected from a normally distributed population and test the given claim. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses, test statistic, P-value, and state the final conclusion that addresses the original claim.
A safety administration conducted crash tests of child booster seats for cars. Listed below are results from those tests, with the measurements given in hic (standard head injury condition units). The safety requirement is that the hic measurement should be less than 1000 hic. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the sample is from a population with a mean less than 1000 hic. Do the results suggest that all of the child booster seats meet the specified requirement?
751, 801, 1230, 657, 630, 557
a. identify the test statistics( round to 3 decimal places)
b. The P- value ? (round to 4 decimal places)
c what do the results suggest about the child booster seats meeting the specified requirement
3. Listed below are the lead concentrations in μg/g measured in different traditional medicines. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the mean lead concentration for all such medicines is less than 17 μg/g. Assume that the lead concentrations in traditional medicines are normally distributed.
8, 21.5 , 19, 10.5 , 11.5 , 8.5 , 6, 15, 7.5 , 19
a. determine the test statistics
b. determine the P-value
4. A group of students estimated the length of one minute without reference to a watch or clock, and the times (seconds) are listed below. Use a 0.10 significance level to test the claim that these times are from a population with a mean equal to 60 seconds. Does it appear that students are reasonably good at estimating one minute?
66, 80, 42, 66, 45, 27, 57, 63, 66, 49, 64, 69, 93, 89, 64
a. determine the test statistics
b. determine the p-value
