Question

A materials scientist claims that his new curing process for a particular type of cement results in a mean compressive strength of at least 5000 kg per square centimeter. You suspect that the figures are exaggerated. Formulate your null and alternative hypotheses for the needed test of significance. John is busy filling up chocolate chip bags in anticipation of the baking season. Their bags are labeled to hold 12 oz of chocolate chips each. They want to make sure that their machinery is accurately calibrated. If they want to test for this, how will they set up their null and alternative hypotheses? The Average Pumpkin Patch claims that their princess pumpkins have a mean weight of at least 12 lbs. You suspect they are embellishing the truth somewhat. Your plan is to bring a small child to find 40 pumpkins (at random, because small children are perfect random number generators) and weigh the pumpkins. How are you going to formulate your null and alternative hypotheses for this test of significance? The Electabuzz Electric Institute (EEI) studies the electricity consumption of a variety of appliances. The manufacturer of a particular type of leaf blower claims that the mean consumption is less than 36 kilowatt hours per year for a typical household. EEI suspects the contrary and they plan a study of randomly chosen households using that particular brand of leaf blower. How are they going to formulate their null and alternative hypotheses? The lifetime of a particular computer screen is advertised to have a mean of at least 900 hrs. A consumer rights agency wants to test this claim. How is the consumer rights agency going to formulate the null and alternative hypotheses?
