The manufacturer of X-15 steel- belted radial truck tires notes that the average mileage each tire
travels before the cords wear out is 60,000 miles. The standard deviation of the mileage is 5,000
miles. The Crosset Truck Company purchased 48 tires and found that the average mileage for their
trucks is 59,500 miles. Is Crosset's experience different from what the manufacturer claims at the
0.05 level of significance?

A recent national survey determined that high school students watched on average (mean) 6.8
DVD movies per month, with a population standard deviation of 0.5 hours. A random sample of 36
college students revealed that the average number of DVD movies they watched last month was
6.2. At the 0.05 level of significance, can you conclude that college students watch fewer DVD
movies than high school students ?

1. H 0 : µ ≥ 6.8
H 1 : µ < 6.8

2. Significance level α = 0.05

5. Statistical Decision

Since Zc is (-7.2) < -1.65, Ho is rejected, that is, university students watch fewer DVD movies

The Rocky Mountain District sales manager for Rath Publishing, Inc., a college textbook
publisher, says sales representatives make an average of 40 sales calls a week to professors.
Several representatives point out that the estimate is very low. A random sample of 28 sales
representatives reveals that the average number of calls made last week was 42. The standard
deviation of the sample is 2.1 calls. At the 0.05 level of significance, can you conclude that
the average number of weekly calls per salesperson is more than 40?

5. Make the decision

Since t(2.93) > 2.821, Ho is rejected and H 1 is accepted; That is, water consumption
has increased.

p value

P value is between the significance levels 0.01 and 0.005 because Z c (2.93) is
between 2.821 and 3.250 values that correspond to the significance levels indicated
in the one-tailed test, therefore it is assumed that the p value is less than the
significance level of 0.01, ratifying Ho's rejection.

Women's height is suspected to be a factor in having difficult births; That is, a shorter woman is more
likely to need a cesarean section. A medical researcher found, in a sample of 45 women who had
had a normal birth, that their average height was 61.4 inches. A second sample of 39 women who
underwent cesarean section had a mean height of 60.6 inches. Assume that the population of heights
related to normal births has a standard deviation of 1.2 inches. Also, the heights of the population of
women who had cesarean deliveries has a standard deviation of 1.1 inches. Were those who had a
cesarean delivery shorter? Use a significance level of 0.05. Find the value and explain what it means.

The Damon family owns a large vineyard in western New York on the shores of Lake Erie.
Vineyards should be fumigated at the beginning of the growing season to protect them

vines treated with Pernod 5 were checked to see if they were not infected. Similarly, a
sample of 400 vines fumigated with Action was reviewed . The results are:

A recent article in The Wall Street Journal compared the cost of adopting children from China
with that from Russia. In a sample of 16 adoptions from China, the average cost was
$11,045, with a standard deviation of $835. In a sample of 18 adoptions of children from Russia,
the mean cost was $12,840, with a standard deviation of $1,545. Can you conclude that the
cost
How old is it to adopt children from Russia? Suppose that the two population standard deviations
are not equal. Use the 0.05 significance level.

Data: n =16; X =11,045.; S2 = 697,225
