What is the p-value?
A company packages apples by weight. One of the weight grades is Class apples. Class apples have a mean weight of , and there is a maximum allowed weight tolerance of above or below the mean for apples in the same consumer package. A batch of apples is selected to be included in a Classapple package. Given the following apple weights of the batch, does the fruit comply with the Class grade weight tolerance requirements. Conduct an appropriate hypothesis test.
(a) at the significance level
(b) at the significance level Weights in selected apple batch (in grams): ; ; ; ;; ; ; ; 157 ; 171; 152; 161 ; 141; 166; 172;

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety collects safety information about all types of cars every year, and publishes a report of Top Safety Picks among all cars, makes, and models. Table 11.58 presents the number of Top Safety Picks in six-car categories for the two years 2009 and 2013. Analyze the table data to conclude whether the distribution of cars that earned the Top Safety Picks safety award has remained the same between 2009 and 2013. Derive your results at the 5%
significance level.
