The quality of the drinking water must be monitored as often as possible. One variable of concern is
the pH level, which measures the alkalinity or acidity of the water. A pH below 7.0 is acidic while a pH
above 7.0 is alkaline. A pH of 7.0 is neutral. A water-treatment plant is targeting higher than 8.0 pH. Based
on 16 random water samples, the mean and standard deviation were found to be: đ Ì =7.6 and s = 0.4. Test
the claim using 5%
Step
1 Describe the population parameter of interest
2 Formulate the null and alternative hypothesis
3 Check the assumptions
4 Choose a signifinance level size for α
5 Select the appropriate test statistic
Compute the test statistic using the appropriate formula
6 State the decision rule for rejecting or not the null hypothesis
7 Compare the computed test statistic and the critical value /s
a. Determine the number of possible samples of size n that can be drawn from a given population of size n.
A group of 8 students in your class having the weight of 50, 52, 53, 54, 56, 57, 58, and 60.
1.Calculate the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample means. Compare this to the standard deviation of the population.Â

A 3.00 g sample of TNT (trinitrotoluene, C7H5N3O6) is placedÂ
in a bomb calorimeter with a heat capacity of 1.93 kJ/°C; theÂ
ÎHcomb of TNT is â3403.5 kJ/mol. If the initial temperature ofÂ
the calorimeter is 19.8°C, what will be the final temperature ofÂ
the calorimeter after the combustion reaction (assuming no heatÂ
is lost to the surroundings)
A job placement director claims that the average starting salary for nurses is P12,000. A sample of 10 nurses has a mean of P11,750 and a standard deviation of 200. Is there enough evidence to reject the directorâs claim at alpha = 0.05
