Previously, an organization reported that teenagers spent 4.5 hours per week, on average, on the phone. The organization
thinks that, currently, the mean is higher. Fifteen randomly chosen teenagers were asked how many hours per week they
spend on the phone. The sample mean was 4.75 hours with a sample standard deviation of 2.0. Conduct a hypothesis test.
The null and alternative hypotheses are:
Registered nurses earned an average annual salary of \(69,110. For that same year, a survey was conducted of 41 California registered nurses to determine if the annual salary is higher than \)69,110 for California nurses. The sample average was \(71,121 with a sample standard deviation of \)7,489. Conduct a hypothesis test.
"Blowing Bubbles," by Sondra Prull
Studying stats just made me tense,
I had to find some sane defense.
Some light and lifting simple play
To float my math anxiety away.
Blowing bubbles lifts me high
Takes my troubles to the sky.
POIK! They're gone, with all my stress
Bubble therapy is the best.
The label said each time I blew
The average number of bubbles would be at least .
I blew and blew and this I found
Fromblows, they all are round!
But the number of bubbles inblows
Varied widely, this I know.
per blow became the mean
They deviated by , and not.
From counting bubbles, I sure did relax
But now I give to you your task.
Wasa reasonable guess?
Find the answer and pass this test!
Assume the null hypothesis states that the mean is at least . Is this a left-tailed, right-tailed, or two-tailed test?
From generation to generation, the mean age when smokers first start to smoke varies. However , the standard deviation pf that age remains constant of around years . A survey of smokers of this generation was done to see if the mean starting age is at least . the sample mean was with a sample standard deviation ofdo the data support the claim at the level?
