3. In case n>30, standard normal (z) distribution is used.

In case n<30, zdistribution can be used if the distribution is normal and the standard
deviation is known, else t-distribution is used.
6. We are 95% sure that the interval contains the true population value for
mean weekly salaries of shift managers at Guiseppes Pizza and Pasta.
7. B n<30 and SD unknown
8. D since the population is very skewed, neither applies
9. C although the population is skewed, n>30

19.Ho: M<=2.85, Ha: M>2.85
t-value = (X-M)/SE = (3.13-2.85)/(0.55/9) = 1.527
df = n-1 = 8
p-value (calculated from t-table, for one-tailed test) = 0.0826
So, at alpha of 0.01, Ho cannot be rejected.
So, we cannot say that the mean is greater than 2.85.
20.Ho: M=900, Ha: M900
Sample mean X = 724.07; SD = 156.92
t-value = (X-M)/SE = (724.07-900)/(156.92/15) = -4.34
df = n-1 = 14
p-value (calculated from t-table, for two-tailed test) = 0.0007
So, at alpha of 0.1, Ho can be rejected.
So, we can say that the mean is not equal to 900.
21.Ho: M>=200, Ha: M<200
Sample mean X = 183.9; SD = 121.2
t-value = (X-M)/SE = (182.9-200)/(121.2/54) = -1.037
df = n-1 = 53
p-value (calculated from t-table, for one-tailed test) = 0.1522
So, at alpha of 0.1, Ho cannot be rejected.
So, we can say that the mean is not less than 900.

t-value = M/SE = 1.24, df = n1 + n2 2 = 8

p-value (calculated from t-table, for one-tailed test) = 0.1251

So, at alpha of 0.01, Ho cannot be rejected.
So, we cannot say that tutoring improves the scores.
23.M = M1-M2 = 7.6-6.9 = 0.7
Ho: M=0, Ha: M0
SE = [SD12/n1+ SD22/n2] = 0.311
t-value = M/SE = 2.248
df = n1 + n2 2 = 98
p-value (calculated from t-table, for two-tailed test) = 0.0268
So, at alpha of 0.02, Ho cannot be rejected.
So, we can say that the mean times are equal.
