The absolute viscosity for sesame oil is supposed to average 0.0248 Pa⋅s at 50 ∘C. Suppose a food scientist collects a random sample of 3 quantities of sesame oil and computes the mean viscosity for his sample to be ?⎯⎯⎯=0.0252 Pa⋅sx¯=0.0252 Pa⋅s at 50 ∘C Assume that measurement errors are normally distributed and that the population standard deviation of sesame oil viscosity is known to be ?=0.0003 Pa⋅s
The scientist will use a one‑sample ?z‑test for a mean, at a significance level of ?=0.01α=0.01, to evaluate the null hypothesis, ?0:?=0.0248 Pa⋅sagainst the alternative hypothesis, ?1:?≠0.0248 Pa⋅s. Complete the scientist's analysis by calculating the value of the one-sample ?z‑statistic, the ?p‑value, and then deciding whether to reject the null hypothesis.
First, compute the ?z‑statistic, ?z. Provide your answer precise to two decimal places. Avoid rounding within calculations.
?=z=
Determine the ?-valueP-value of the test using either a table of standard normal critical values or software. Give your answer precise to four decimal places.

Should the researcher reject his null hypothesis if his significance level is ?=0.01α=0.01?
a,Yes. Because the ?-valueP-value of the test is greater than the stated alpha level of 0.01, there is sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis that the mean viscosity of sesame oil is equal to 0.0248 Pa⋅s at 50 ∘C.to 0.0248 Pa⋅s at 50 ∘C.
b.No. Because the ?-valueP-value of the test is greater than the stated alpha level of 0.01, there is insufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis that the mean viscosity of sesame oil is equal to 0.0248 Pa⋅s at 50 ∘C.to 0.0248 Pa⋅s at 50 ∘C.
c.No. Because the ?-valueP-value of the test is less than the stated alpha level of 0.01, there is insufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis that the mean viscosity of sesame oil is equal to 0.0248 Pa⋅s at 50 ∘C.to 0.0248 Pa⋅s at 50 ∘C.
d.Yes. Because the ?-valueP-value of the test is less than the stated alpha level of 0.01, there is sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis that the mean viscosity of sesame oil is equal to 0.0248 Pa⋅s at 50 ∘C.

Identify the null hypothesis, alternative hypothesis, test statistic, P-value, conclusion about the null hypothesis, and final conclusion that addresses the original claim. A test of sobriety involves measuring the subject's motor skills. A study of n = 20 randomly selected sober subjects take the test and produce a mean score of X = 41.0, and we know that o = 3.7. At the 0.01 level of significance, test the claim that the true mean score for all sober subjects is...

Assume a media agency reports that it takes television streaming service subscribers in the United States an average of 6.24 days to watch the entire first season of a television series, with a standard deviation of 3.80 days. Suppose Elizabeth, an analyst for an online television and movie streaming service company, wants to determine if her company's customers exhibit similar viewing rates for their series offerings.
