A comparison of the amount of nicotine that could be inhaled from cigarettes of the same brand differs between countries. There is some suspicion that local cigarette companies boosted their cigarettes' nicotine content to maintain or increase present addictive levels. A study of 40 randomly chosen cigarettes was conducted to investigate this issue between two European countries. The recorded average level of nicotine content in cigarettes in both countries is given below: Country A: 0.85 mg/cigarette with a standard deviation of 0.2 mg/cigarette. Country B: 1.30 mg/cigarette with a standard deviation of 0.18 mg/cigarette. Does the nicotine content in the two countries differ? Test at the 5% level of significance.

Two brands of cigarettes are selected, and their nicotine content is compared. The data are: Brand A X1 = 28.6 mg; s 1 = 5.1 mg; n1 = 30 Brand B X2 = 32.9 mg; s 2 = 4.4 mg; n2 = 40 Is there convincing evidence that the mean amount of nicotine differs between the brands?

The nicotine content in cigarettes of a certain brand is normally distributed with unknown mean and population standard deviation of 0.1 mg. The brand advertises that the mean nicotine content is 1.5 mg. A researcher wants to test whether the mean nicotine content is actually higher than advertised. What are the hypotheses of interest?
