A manufacturer of a certain brand of rice cereal
claims that the average content of
Saturated fat is 1.5 grams per serving. You have taken a poll and
the
sample of 30 elements yields an average of 1.7 grams, so you want
to test
98% confidence level that the mean differs from 1.5 grams with one
deviation
population of 0.2 g.
Perform a hypothesis test and conclude with the p-value.

The Basic Steps to Calculating a Hypothesis
Test
You want to start by determining whether you are interested in
working with a mean or a proportion. Then identify each of the
parts listed below.
In order to use the formulas for a hypothesis test we first
need to confirm that the sample size requirements for the central
limit theorem are satisfied. See the notes for more information. If
the sample size is not met acknowledge that you need to proceed...

A weight-loss company wants to make sure that it's clients lose
more weight, on average, than they would without the company's
help. An independent researcher collects data on the amount of
weight lost in one month from 45 of the company's clients and finds
a mean weight loss of 12 pounds. The population standard deviation
for the company's clients is known to be 7 pounds per month. Data
from 50 dieters not using the company's services reported a mean

A company claims that its batteries last an average of 100 hours
under normal use. There have been several complaints that the
batteries don't last that long, so an independent testing agency is
engaged to test them. The population standard deviation is known to
be 10 hours. For the 25 batteries they tested, the mean lifetime
was 96 hours.
If the true population mean is 100 hours, you have made a
Type I

the population standard deviation is 12 miles. A 5% level of
significance will be used for the test.
