A city office in Florida claims that an industrial plant discharge greater than 1000 gallons of wastewater per hour in the neighboring lake. To test this claim seven random sample are taken which showed sample mean as 1500. Let the population standard deviation is known to be 421. What is the test value?

Answer #1

Solution :

this is the right tailed test .  

The null and alternative hypothesis is ,

H0 :   = 1000

Ha : > 1000

Test statistic = z

= ( - ) / / n

= (1500-1000) / 421 / 7

= 3.14

1. A city official claims that the proportion of all commuters who are in favor of an expanded public transportation system is 50%. A newspaper conducts a survey to determine whether this proportion is different from 50%. Out of 225 randomly chosen commuters, the survey finds that 90 of them reply yes when asked if they support an expanded public transportation system. Test the official’s claim at α = 0.05. 2. A survey of 225 randomly chosen commuters are asked...

Let x be a random variable that represents micrograms of lead per liter of water (µg/L). An industrial plant discharges water into a creek. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has studied the discharged water and found x to have a normal distribution, with σ = 0.7 µg/L. † Note: For degrees of freedom d.f. not in the Student's t table, use the closest d.f. that is smaller. In some situations, this choice of d.f. may increase the P-value a small...
