1. A random sample of 64 bags of white cheddar popcorn weighed, on average, 5.23 ounces with
a standard deviation of 0.24 ounce. Test the hypothesis that μ=5.5 ounces against the alternative
hypothesis, μ<5.5 ounces, at the 0.05 level of significance.

Jwb:
2. An electrical firm manufactures light bulbs that have a lifetime that is approximately normally
distributed with a mean of 800 hours and a standard deviation of 40 hours. Test the hypothesis
that μ= 800 hours against the alternative, μ= 800 hours, if a random sample of 30 bulbs has an
average life of 788 hours. Use a P-value in your answer.

Jwb:
3. In the American Heart Association journal Hypertension, researchers report that individuals
Transcendental Meditation (TM) lower their blood pressure significantly. If a random sample of
225male TM practitioners meditate for 8.5 hours per week with a standard deviation of 2.25
hours, does that suggest that, on average, men who use TM meditate more than 8 hours per
week? Quote a P-value in your conclusion.

1. Test the hypothesis that the average content of containers of a particular lubricant is 10 liters if
the contents of a random sample of 10 containers are 10.2,9.7, 10.1, 10.3, 10.1, 9.8, 9.9, 10.4,
10.3, and 9.8 liters. Use a 0.01 level of significance and assume that the distribution of contents
is normal.

Jwb:
2. The average height of females in the freshman class of a certain college has historically been
162.5 centimeters with a standard deviation of 6.9 centimeters. Is there reason to believe that
there has been a change in the average height if a random sample of 50 females in the present
freshman class has an average height of165.2 centimeters? Use a P-value in your conclusion.
Assume the standard deviation remains the same.

Jawab:
3. It is claimed that automobiles are driven on average more than 20,000 kilometers per year. To
test this claim, 100 randomly selected automobile owners are asked to keep a record of the
kilometers they travel. Would you agree with this claim if the random sample showed an average
of 23,500 kilometers and a standard deviation of 3900 kilometers? Use a P-value in your
conclusion.

1. According to a dietary study, high sodium in-take may be related to ulcers, stomach
cancer, and migraine headaches. The human requirement for salt is only 220 milligrams
per day, which is surpassed inmost single servings of ready-to-eat cereals. If a random
sample of 20 similar servings of a certain cereal has a mean sodium content of 244
milligrams and a standard deviation of 24.5 milligrams, does this suggest at the 0.05 level
of significance that the average sodium content for a single serving of such cereal is
greater than 220 milligrams? Assume the distribution of sodium contents to be normal.
2. According to Chemical Engineering, an important property of fiber is its water
absorbency. The aver-age percent absorbency of 25 randomly selected pieces of cotton
fiber was found to be 20 with a standard deviation of 1.5. A random sample of 25 pieces
of acetate yielded an average percent of 12 with a standard deviation of 1.25. Is there
strong evidence that the population mean percent absorbency is significantly higher for
cotton fiber than for acetate? Assume that the percent absorbency is approximately
normally distributed and that the population variances in percent absorbency for the two
fibers are the same. Use a significance level of 0.05.
3. Past experience indicates that the time re-quired for high school seniors to complete a
standardized test is a normal random variable with a mean of 35minutes. If a random
sample of 20 high school senior stook an average of 33.1 minutes to complete this test
with a standard deviation of 4.3 minutes, test the hypothesis, at the 0.05 level of
significance, that μ=35minutes against the alternative that μ<35 minutes.
Praktikum 4
1. A random sample of size n1= 25, taken from anormal population with a standard
deviation σ1=5.2, has a mean ̄x1= 81. A second random sample of size n2= 36, taken
from a different normal population with a standard deviation σ2=3.4, has a mean ̄x2= 76.
Test the hypothesis that μ1=μ2 against the alternative, μ1=μ2. Quote a P-value in your
conclusion.
2. A study was conducted to see if increasing the substrate concentration has an appreciable
effect on the velocity of a chemical reaction. With a substrate concentration of 1.5 moles
per liter, the reaction was run 15 times, with an average velocity of 7.5 micro-moles per
30 minutes and a standard deviation of 1.5. With a substrate concentration of 2.0 moles
per liter,12 runs were made, yielding an average velocity of 8.8micromoles per 30
minutes and a sample standard deviation of 1.2. Is there any reason to believe that this
increase in substrate concentration causes an increase in the mean velocity of the reaction
of more than 0.5micromole per 30 minutes? Use a 0.01 level of significance and assume
the populations to be approximately normally distributed with equal variances.
3. To find out whether a new serum will arrest leukemia, 9 mice, all with an advanced stage
of the disease, are selected. Five mice receive the treatment and 4 do not. Survival times,
in years, from the time the experiment commenced are as follows:
Treatment 2.1 5.3 1.4 4.6 0.9
No Treatment 1.9 0.5 2.8 3.1
At the 0.05 level of significance, can the serum be said to be effective? Assume the two
populations to be normally distributed with equal variances.

1. In a study conducted at Virginia Tech, the plasma ascorbic acid levels of pregnant
women were compared for smokers versus nonsmokers. Thirty-two women in the last
three months of pregnancy, free of major health disorders and ranging in age from 15 to
32 years, were selected for the study. Prior to the col-lection of 20 ml of blood, the
participants were told to avoid breakfast, forgo their vitamin supplements, and avoid
foods high in ascorbic acid content. From the blood samples, the following plasma
ascorbic acid values were determined, in milligrams per 100 milliliters:
 Non smokers Smokers
0.97 1.16 0.48
0.72 0.86 0.71
1.00 0.85 0.98
0.81 0.58 0.68
0.62 0.57 1.18
1.32 0.64 1.36
1.24 0.98 0.78
0.99 1.09 1.64
0.90 0.92
0.74 0.78
0.88 1.24
0.94 1.18

Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that there is a difference between plasma ascorbic
acid levels of smokers and nonsmokers? Assume that the two sets of data came from
normal populations with unequal variances. Use a P-value.
2. A study was conducted by the Department of Zoology at Virginia Tech to determine if
there is a significant difference in the density of organisms at two different stations located
on Cedar Run, a secondary stream in the Roanoke River drainage basin. Sewage from a
sewage treatment plant and over flow from the Federal Mogul Corporation settling pond
enter the stream near its headwaters. The following data give the density measurements, in
number of organisms per square meter, at the two collecting stations:
 Station 1 Station 2
5,030 4,980 2,800 2,810
13,700 11,910 4,670 1,330
10,730 8,130 6,890 3,320
11,400 26,850 7,720 1,230
860 17,660 7,030 2,130
2,200 22,800 7,330 2,190
4,250 1,130
15,040 1,690
Can we conclude, at the 0.05 level of significance, that the average densities at the two
stations are equal? Assume that the observations come from normal populations with
different variances.
