    PART II.
    Perform a complete hypothesis testing on each problem.

    1. It is claimed that an automobile is driven on the average more than 20000 km per year. To test this
    claim, a random sample of 100 automobile owners are asked to keep a record of the kilometers they
    travel. Would you agree with this claim if the random sample showed an average of 23500 kms and a
    standard deviation of 3900km?

    2. The sodium content of twenty 300-gram boxes of organic cornflakes was determined. The data (in
    milligrams) are as follows: 131.15, 130.69, 130.91, 129.54, 129.64, 128.77, 130.72, 128.33, 128.24,
    129.65, 130.14, 129.29, 128.71, 129.00, 129.39, 130.42, 129.53, 130.12, 129.78, 130.92. Can you
    support a claim that mean sodium content of this brand of cornflakes differs from 130 milligrams? Use
     = 0.05. Find the P-value.

    3. Two manufacturers of chain links are being evaluated to determine if one manufacturer’s chain link have
    significantly greater breaking strength than those of the other. The following data were gathered:
    Manufacturer Mean Standard deviation Sample size
    Chain link 1 310 25 35
    Chain link 2 235 47 39
    Decide whether manufacturer of chain link 2 has the higher average breaking strength than manufacturer
    of chain link 1. Use  = 0.05.
    4. According to the article “Practice and Fatigue Effects on the Programming of a Coincident Timing
    Response”, published in the Journal of Human Movement Studies in 1997, practice under fatigued
    conditions distorts mechanisms which govern performance. An experiment was conducted using 15
    college males who were trained to make a continuous horizontal right-to-left arm movement from a
    micro-switch to a barrier, knocking over the barrier coincident with the arrival of a clock sweep hand to
    the 6 o’clock. The absolute value of the difference between the time, in milliseconds, that it took to
    knock over the barrier and the time for the sweep hand to reach the 6 o’clock position (500 msec.) was
    recorded. Each participant performed the task five times under prefatigue and post fatigue conditions,
    and the sums of the absolute differences for the five performances were recorded as follows:

    Subject 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
    Pre
    158 92 65 98 33 89 148 58 142 117 74 66 109 57 85
    fatigue
    Post
    91 59 115 126 123 91 92 77 134 116 153 119 143 95 100
    fatigue
    An increase in the mean absolute time differences when the task is performed under post fatigue
    conditions would support the claim that practice under fatigued conditions distorts mechanisms that
    govern performance. Assuming the populations to be normally distributed, test this claim.

    5. The Bieber Manufacturing Co. operates 24 hours a day, five days a week. The workers rotate shifts
    each week. Todd Bieber, the owner, is interested in whether there is a difference in the number of units
    produced when the employees work on various shifts. A sample of five workers is selected and their
    output recorded on each shift.
