H0 : sigma = 2.5
Ha: sigma > 2.5
test statsitics:
n = 41, s = 2.9
chi^2 = (n-1)s^2/sigma^2
= ((41-1) *2.9^2)/2.5^2
= 53.824
p value = 1 - P(chi^2 < 53.824) with df= 40
P value = 0.0709
As p value > 0.01 Fail to reject H0 There is not suffiicient
evidence to support the claim that the std. deviation is greater
than 2.5 inches

Question 9 14 Marks) A college professor claims that the average cost of a paperback textbook is less than USD 30. A sample of 10 books has an average cost of USD 29.50. The standard deviation of the sample is USD 5.50. Test the claim of the professor at 0.01 level of significance using traditional testing of hypothesis.

1. The heights are measured for supermodels Niki Taylor, Nadia Avermann, Claudia Schiffer, Elle Macpherson, Christy Turlington, Bridget Hall, Kate Moss, Valeria Mazza, Kristy Hume and seven other supermodels. They have a mean of 70.2 inches and a standard deviation of 1.5 inches. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that supermodels have heights with a mean that is greater than the mean of 63.6 inches for women from the general population. 2. A recent Gallup poll of 976 randomly...

A college professor claims that the entering class this year appears to be smarter than entering classes from previous years. He tests a random sample of 13 of this year's entering students and finds that their mean IQ score is 119, with standard deviation of 11. The college records indicate that the mean IQ score for entering students from previous years is 112. If we assume that the IQ scores of this year's entering class are normally distributed, is there...

A college professor claims that the entering class this year appears to be smarter than entering classes from previous years. He tests a random sample of 22 this year's entering students and finds that their mean IQ score is 119, with standard deviation of 15. The college records indicate that the mean IQ score for entering students from previous years is 112. If we assume that the IQ scores of this year's entering class are normally distributed, is there enough...

9. A De Anza statistics instructor wonders about the performance of male and female college students in her statistics class. She wants to know whether there is a difference between final exam scores of male and female students. From all of the statistics classes she has taught in the last two years, she randomly selected scores of 63 female students and 58 male students. The females had a sample mean score of 78 with a standard deviation of 6. The...

A guidance counselor claims that the high school students in a college preparation program have higher ACT scores than those in a general program. The sample mean ACT scores for 37 high school students in a college prep program is 22.7 and assume the population standard deviation is 3.5. The sample mean ACT scores for 35 high school students in a general prep program is 21.1. Assume the population standard deviation is 4.9. At = 0.02 , test the...
