In a survey of 1000 people who attend community college, 15% are age 40 or older. (Adapted from American Association of Community Colleges) (a) Construct a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of people who attend community college that are age 40 or older. (b) A researcher claims that more than 12% of people who attend community college are age 40 or older. At a = 0.05, can you support the researchers claim? Interpret the decision in the context of the original claim.

Gas Mileage The table shows the gas mileages (in miles per gallon) of eight cars with and without using a fuel additive. At a = 0.10, is there enough evidence to conclude that the additive improved gas mileage? Assume the populations are normally distributed. Car 1 2 3 4 Gas mileage (without fuel additive) 23.1 25.4 21.9 24.3 Gas mileage (with fuel additive) 23.6 27.7 23.6 26.8 Car 5 6 7 8 Gas mileage (without fuel additive) 19.9 21.2 25.9 24.8 Gas mileage (with fuel additive) 22.1 22.4 26.3 26.6

A pediatrician claims that the mean birth weight of a single-birth baby is greater than the mean birth weight of a baby that has a twin. The mean birth weight of a random sample of 85 single-birth babies is 3086 grams. Assume the population standard deviation is 563 grams. The mean birth weight of a random sample of 68 babies that have a twin is 2263 grams. Assume the population standard deviation is 624 grams. At a = 0.10, can you support the pediatricians claim?

The mean number of chronic medications taken by a random sample of 26 elderly adults in a community has a sample standard deviation of 3.1 medications. Assume the population is normally distributed. (Adapted from The Journal of the American Medical Association) (a) Construct a 99% confidence interval for the population variance. (b) Construct a 99% confidence interval for the population standard deviation. (c) A pharmacist claims that the standard deviation of the mean number of chronic medications taken by elderly adults in the community is at most 2.5 medications. At a = 0.01, can you reject the pharmacists claim? Interpret the decision in the context of the original claim.

An education organization claims that the mean SAT scores for male athletes and male non-athletes at a college are different. A random sample of 26 male athletes at the college has a mean SAT score of 1783 and a standard deviation of 218. A random sample of 18 male non-athletes at the college has a mean SAT score of 2064 and a standard deviation of 186. At a = 0.05, can you support the organizations claim? Interpret the decision in the context of the original claim. Assume the populations are normally distributed and the population variances are equal.

The annual earnings (in dollars) for 26 randomly selected translators are shown below. Assume the population is normally distributed.

(b) A researcher claims that the mean annual earnings for translators is $40,000. At a = 0.05, can you reject the researchers claim? Interpret the decision in the context of the original claim.

A medical research team studied the number of head and neck injuries sustained by hockey players. Of the 319 players who wore a full-face shield, 195 sustained an injury. Of the 323 players who wore a half-face shield, 204 sustained an injury. At a = 0.10, can you reject the claim that the proportions of players sustaining head and neck injuries are the same for the two groups? Interpret the decision in the context of the original claim.

A random sample of 40 ostrich eggs has a mean incubation period of 42 days. Assume the population standard deviation is 1.6 days. (a) Construct a 95% confidence interval for the population mean incubation period. (b) A zoologist claims that the mean incubation period for ostriches is at least 45 days. At a = 0.05, can you reject the zoologists claim? Interpret the decision in the context of the original claim.
