11.28 During the last several decades, improved nutrition has resulted not only increases in height and weight, but also in shoe size. A report notes that the average American women's shoe size is now size 8.75. To test the claim that there is no difference in the shoe size average, a survey was done with 100 American women whose shoe size averaged size 9 with a standard deviation of 1.75. Test at the .10 level of significance.

A certain chemical pollutant in the Genesee River has been constant for several years with mean μ = 34 ppm (parts per million) and standard deviation σ = 8 ppm. A group of factory representatives whose companies discharge liquids into the river is now claiming that they have lowered the average with improved filtration devices. A group of environmentalists will test to see if this is true at the 4% level of significance. Assume that their sample of size 50...

[Should we build a wind farm?] Wind Power has been the most popular alternative energy choice in recent years. One of the key determinants for choosing a location for a wind farm is whether the site has enough wind. To produce enough energy using current technology, the site should have an annual average wind speed exceeding 9.25 miles per hour, according to the Wind Energy Association. One candidate site in southern California was monitored for a year, with wind speeds...

Strategic Positioning. Tartan Corporation has been manufacturing high-quality home lighting systems for more than 90 years. The company's first products in the 1920s- the Classic line-were high quality floor lamps and table lamps made of the highest quality materials with features that other manufacturers did not attempt: multiple switches, adjustable heights, and stained glass. In the 1950s and 1960s, the company introduced a number of new products that were in demand at the time, including track lighting and lava lamps,...
