2. The Carolina Tobacco company advertised that its best-selling non filtered cigarettes contain at
most 40 mg of nicotine, but Consumer Advocate magazine ran tests of 10 randomly selected
cigarettes and found the amounts (in mg) shown below. It's a serious matter to charge that the
company advertising is wrong, so the magazine editor chooses a significance level of 0.05 in testing
her belief that the mean nicotine content is greater than 40 mg. Perform this test to determine if the
mean is greater than 40 mg. Also, find a 95% confidence interval for the mean nicotine content.

[1] 45.50313
Analysis:
The 95% confidence interval is (41.09687, 45.50313).
Hypothesis Testing:
0 : = 40
1 : > 40
= 0.05
Test Statistic: t = 2.7458
Critical value: = 1.833 (from t-distribution tables)
Decision: Since the test statistic t = 2.7458 > 1.833, we reject 0 .
3. A random sample of 22 fifth grade pupils have a mean grade point average of 5.0 in Math,
where marks range from 1 (worst) to 6 (excellent). The mean grade point average (GPA) of all
fifth grade pupils of the last five years is 4.7 (GPA of the population). Is the mean GPA of the 22
pupils different from the mean GPA of the population? Use a significance level of = 0.05 to
test the claim that the mean GPA of the 22 pupils is different from the mean GPA of the
population. Assume is not known. Also, find a 95% confidence interval for the GPA of the
population.

5. Refer to the datasets on BMI and test the claim that the mean body mass index (BMI) of men is
equal to the mean BMI of women. Also, construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the
difference between the mean BMI of men and the mean BMI of women.
