Introductory Statistics
A random sample of 5252 observations has a sample mean of 2,4302,430. Assume the population is normally distributed with a known standard deviation of σ=275σ = 275. At the 0.050.05 level of significance, test the claim that the population mean μμ is not equal to 2,5002,500.
A snack company produces potato chips. The company claims that the mean weight of a bag is 5050 grams. To monitor quality, a random sample of 1616 bags is selected, and the mean weight is found to be 5151 grams with a standard deviation of 0.40.4 grams. Assume the weights are approximately normally distributed. Using a significance level of α=0.05\(\alpha\)=0.05 (two-tailed), are the bags meeting the claimed mean weight? (Critical tt-values for df=15df=15 is approximately ±2.131\(\pm\)2.131)
A relationship study claims that 18%18\% of couples have initiated marriage counseling. A random sample of 400400 couples found that 8080 had initiated counseling. Construct a 95%95\% confidence interval for the population proportion and state whether the study's claim of 18%18\% is consistent with the sample data.
A juice company claims the average vitamin C content in its product is less than 6060 mg per serving. After performing a hypothesis test, you reject the null hypothesis. What is the correct interpretation?
A company claims that the mean weight of its protein bars is 5050 grams. A quality control analyst samples 8 bars and obtains a sample mean of 51.251.2 grams. After simulating 20002000 randomizations under the null hypothesis, 120120 simulated means are at least as large as 51.251.2 grams. What is the correct interpretation of the pp-value and the decision at α=0.05\(\alpha\)=0.05?
