Medical research has shown that repeated wrist extension beyond 20 degrees increases the risk of wrist and hand injuries. Each of 24 students at a university used a proposed new computer mouse design. While using the mouse, each student's wrist extension was recorded. Data consistent with summary values given in a paper are given. Use these data to test the hypothesis that the mean wrist extension for people using this new mouse design is greater than 20 degrees. (Use
α = 0.05.
Use a statistical computer package to calculate the P-value. Round your test statistic to two decimal places and your P-value to three decimal places.)
| 27 | 26 | 24 | 25 | 27 | 28 | 28 | 24 | 24 | 24 | 28 | 26 |
| 22 | 28 | 24 | 26 | 27 | 25 | 31 | 28 | 26 | 27 | 27 | 28 |

1. State your conclusion.
Reject H0. We have convincing evidence that the mean wrist extension for all people using the new mouse design is greater than 20 degrees.
2. Are any assumptions required in order for it to be appropriate to generalize the results of your test to the population of students from this university?
We need to assume that the 24 students used in the study are representative of all students at the university.
3. Are any assumptions required in order for it to be appropriate to generalize the results of your test to the population of all university students?
1. We need to assume that the 24 students used in the study are representative of all students who use a wireless mouse.
2. We need to assume that the 24 students used in the study are representative of all students at the university.
3.. We need to assume that the 24 students used in the study are representative of all students who own PCs.
4. We need to assume that the 24 students used in the study are representative of all university students.

To test whether the mean time needed to mix a batch of material is the same for machines produced by three manufacturers, the Jacobs Chemical Company obtained the following data on the time (in minutes) needed to mix the material.
| Manufacturer 1 | Manufacturer 2 | Manufacturer 3 |
| 25 | 34 | 18 |
| 31 | 32 | 17 |
| 29 | 37 | 21 |
| 27 | 33 | 20 |
a. use these data to test whether the population mean times for mixing a batch of different material differs for the three manufacturers. use .05

In a thought experiment, a cubic box of side length 0.01 mm contains three particles. One particle moves just in the x-direction, colliding elastically with the left and right walls of the cube. The second atom moves just in the y-direction, colliding elastically with the front and back walls of the cube. The third atom moves just in the z-direction, colliding elastically with the top and bottom walls of the cube. All three atoms have speed 500 m/s and mass 6.7x10-27 kg. What is the average pressure in the box?
A. 1.7 × 10-3 Pa
B. 1.7 × 10-6 Pa
C. 3.3 × 10-3 Pa
D. 5.0 × 10-6 Pa
E. 1.01 × 10-5 Pa

A pharmaceutical company tested three formulations of a pain relief medicine for migraine headache sufferers. For the experiment, 27 volunteers were selected and 9 were randomly assigned to one of three drug formulations. The subjects were instructed to take the drug during their next migraine headache episode and to report their pain on a scale of 1 = no pain to 10 = extreme pain 30 minutes after taking the drug. a. Identify the response variable for this experiment. __________________________________(2)

The company estimates that it can sell 800 units of each product per month. The same raw material is used in each product. The material costs $3 per pound with a maximum of 5,000 pounds available each month.
What is the maximum contribution margin that the company can earn per month if it makes optimal use of its 5,000 pounds of materials?
