It is estimated that the average person in the United States uses 123 gallons of water per day. Some environmentalists believe this figure is too high and conduct a survey of 40 randomly selected Americans. They find a mean of 113.03 gallons and a population standard deviation of 25.99 gallons. Calculate the appropriate test statistic to test the hypotheses using the critical value rule.

taken and it is determined that 480 possess the characteristic. A
random sample of 700 taken from population B showed that 350
possess the characteristic. The observed z for this is _______.

Calibrating a scale: Making sure that the scales used by
businesses in the United States are accurate is the responsibility
of the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) in
Washington, D.C. Suppose that NIST technicians are testing a scale
by using a weight known to weigh exactly 1000 grams. The standard
deviation for scale reading is known to be σ=3.1. They weigh this
weight on the scale 45 times and read the result each time. The 45
scale readings...
