In , Life Magazine reported that the year-old mother of three worked, on average, an hour week. Recently,
many groups have been studying whether or not the women's movement has, in fact, resulted in an increase in the average
work week for women (combining employment and at-home work). Suppose a study was done to determine if the mean
work week has increased. women were surveyed with the following results. The sample mean wasthe sample
standard deviation was ten. Does it appear that the mean work week has increased for women at the role="math" localid="1650381098713" level?

The mean throwing distance of a football for Marco, a high school freshman quarterback, is yards, with a standard deviation of two yards. The team coach tells Marco to adjust his grip to get more distance. The coach records the distances for throws. For the throws, Marco’s mean distance was yards. The coach thought the different grip helped Marco throw farther than yards. Conduct a hypothesis test using a preset . Assume the throw distances for footballs are normal.
First, determine what type of test this is, set up the hypothesis test, find the-value, sketch the graph, and state your conclusion.
