Unfortunately, arsenic occurs naturally in some ground water (Reference: Union Carbide Technical Report). A mean arsenic level of 8 parts per billion (ppb) is considered safe for agricultural use. A well in Texas is used to water cotton crop. This well is tested on a regular basis for arsenic. A random sample of 37 tests gave a sample mean of 7.2.

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.

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 weight...

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 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 Error      Type II error   Correct decision        If...
