Spring 2025 3. (4 pts) Intrepid marblologist Jackson Who selects a simple random sample of 27 bags of Whoville Marble Works mini-marbles. The mean number of mini-marbles per bag in JW's sample is \bar{x} =83.9 with a standard deviation of s_(x)=8.44. Use this data to test the claim (at the 5% significance level that the mean number of marbles per bag of WMW mini-marbles is more than 80 . => State clearly any assumptions that you make and include all the steps of a formal hypothesis test.

To test H0: σ = 1.1 versus H1: σ ≠ 1.1, a random sample of size n = 21 is obtained from a population that is known to be normally distributed. (a) If the sample standard deviation is determined to be s = 1.9, compute the test statistic. χ0^2 = 59.669 (b) If the researcher decides to test this hypothesis at the α = 0.10 level of significance, determine the critical values. The critical values are χ0.05^2 and χ0.95^2.
16. The standard deviation of fuel consumption of a manufacturer's sport utility vehicle is hypothesized to be 13.3 miles per gallon. A random sample of 18 vehicles has a standard deviation of 2.8 miles per gallon. State the parameter of interest. 17. Short Answer: It has been reported that one in four medical doctors received their degrees from foreign schools. A hospital researcher believes that the percentage is less than that. A random survey of 100 medical doctors found that 19 received their degrees from a foreign school. State the hypotheses for this test. (both null and alternative) 18. Short Answer: Find the critical value for a hypotheses test for a mean of a population with a known σ and with a significance level of 0.1. Here are hypotheses: H0: μ = 5 and HA: μ ≠ 5
