may not be awarded.

(1) A telephone company wants to estimate the mean time of the long distance calls made by people
in a small city. A random sample of 25 people is selected. The sample mean was X = 10 minutes
and the sample standard deviation was S = 7 minutes. Assume that the long distance phone calls are
normally distributed.

i. Construct a 95% confidence interval. [3]

ii. Interpret the confidence interval. [2]

(3) (Two-tail test) A cereal manufacturer is concerned that the boxes of cereal not be under-filled or
overfilled. Each box of cereal is supposed to contain 13 ounces of cereal. A random sample of 31 boxes
is tested. The average weight is X = 12.9 ounces, and the standard deviation is S = 0.25 ounces. Use a
level of significance α = 10% to determine if the mean weight of cereal boxes is different from 13 ounces.

(a) State the null (H0 ) and alternative (H1 ) hypotheses. [1]

(b) Compute the test statistic. [1]

(c) Find the critical values [2]

(d) What is your statistical decision (use critical-value approach)? [1]

(4) (One-tail test) A statistics instructor thinks that the average on the final statistics exam is higher
than or equals to 85. To test her claim she takes a sample of ten statistics students. The sample mean
X was 82. Suppose that the scores are normally distributed with standard deviation of 5. For a level
of significance α = 0.01.

(a) State the null (H0 ) and alternative (H1 ) hypotheses. [1]

(b) Compute the test statistic. [1]

(c) Compute the p-value [2]

(d) What is your statistical decision (use p-value approach)? [1]

(5) (ANOVA) A company that fills gallon containers of water has four machines. The quality control
manager needs to determine whether the average fill for these machines is the same. A sample of 5
one-gallon containers from each machine is selected and resulted SSA = 20 and SST = 50. For a level
of significance of 0.05, whether the average fill for these machines is the same.

(a) State the null (H0 ) and alternative (H1 ) hypotheses. [2]

(b) Compute the test statistic. [2]

(c) Find the critical value. [1]

(d) What is your statistical decision? [2]
