10. A television documentary on overeating claimed that Americans are about 10 pounds overweight on average. To
test this claim, eighteen randomly selected individuals were examined, and their average excess weight was found
to be 12.4 pounds, with a sample standard deviation of 2.7 pounds. At a significance level of 0.01, is there any
reason to doubt the validity of the claimed 10- pound value?

11. A ketchup manufacturer is in the process of deciding whether to produce a new extra-spicy brand. The company’s
marketing – research department used a national telephone survey of 6,000 households and found that the extra-
spicy ketchup would be purchased by 335 of them. A much more extensive study made 2 years ago showed that 5
percent of the households would purchase the brand then. At a 2 percent significance level, should the company
conclude that there is an increased interest in the extra-spicy flavor?

13. A metropolitan transit authority wants to determine whether there is any need for changes in the frequency of
service over certain bus routes. The transit authority needs to know whether the frequency of service should
increase, decrease, or remain the same. The transit authority determined that if the average number of miles
travelled by bus over the routes in question by all residents of a given areas is about 5 per day, then no change will
be necessary. If the average number of miles travelled per person per day is either more than 5 or less than 5, then
changes in service may be necessary. The authority wants, therefore, to test the null hypothesis that the average
number of miles travelled per person per day is 5.0 versus the alternative hypothesis that the average is not 5.0
miles. The required level of significance for this test is α = 0.05. A random sample of 120 residents of the area is
taken, and the sample mean is found to be 2.3 miles per resident per day and the sample standard deviation 1.5
miles. Advise the authority on what should be done. Explain your recommendation. Could you state the same
result at different levels of significance? Explain.

What students are saying

As a current student on this bumpy collegiate

pathway, I stumbled upon Course Hero, where I
can :nd study resources for nearly all my
courses, get online help from tutors 24/7, and
even share my old projects, papers, and lecture
notes with other students.

I cannot even describe how much Course Hero

helped me this summer. It’s truly become
something I can always rely on and help me. In
the end, I was not only able to survive summer
classes, but I was able to thrive thanks to
Course Hero.

The ability to access any university’s resources

through Course Hero proved invaluable in my
case. I was behind on Tulane coursework and
actually used UCLA’s materials to help me move
forward and get everything together on time.
