ttled fruit
juice claims that the average capacity of their product is 250
ml. To test the claim, a consumer group gets a sample of 100
such bottles, calculates the capacity of each bottle, and then
finds the mean capacity to be 248 ml. The standard deviation is
5 ml. Is the claim true? Conduct a hypothesis test using𝛼 =
.05.
2) An experimental study was conducted by a researcher to
determine if a new timeslot has an effect on the performance of
pupils in mathematics. Fifteen random selected learners
participated in the study. Toward the end of the investigation, a
standardized assessment was conducted. The sample means
was 85 and standard deviation 3. In the standardization test,
the mean was 75 and the standard deviation was 10. Based on
the evidence at hand, is the new time slot effective? Use 𝛼 =
.05.
3) Consider the following null and alternative hypothesis.
𝐻0 : 𝜇 = 120 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐻1 : 𝜇 > 120
A random sample of 81 observations taken from this population
produced a sample mean of 123.5 and a sample standard
deviation of 15. If this test is made at the 90% confidence level,
would you reject the null hypothesis?
4) The manager of a car rental agency claims that the average
mileage of cars rented is less than 8000. A sample of five
automobiles has an average mileage of 7723, with a standard
deviation of 500 miles. At 𝛼 = .01, is there enough evidence to
reject the manager’s claim?
5) A recent survey stated that household received an average
of 37 telephone calls per month. To test the claim, a researcher
surveyed 29 households and found that the average number of
calls was 34.9 The standard deviation of the sample was 6. At
𝛼 = .05, can the claim be substantiated?
