In a hypothesis test with hypotheses Ho: Mu GE 136 and H1: Mu , a random sample of 67 elements selected from the population produced a mean of 130.7. Assume that population sd is 19.2 ,and that the test is to be made at the 2% significance level.
What is the value of the test statistic, z?

A researcher wants to test if the elementary school children spend less than 30 minutes per day on homework. A random sample of 61 children from the school shows that they spend an average of 25.9 minutes per day on homework. Assume that  minutes, and that the test is to be made at the 1% significance level.
Should you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis in this test?

In a hypothesis test with hypotheses Ho: Mu LE 54 and H1: Mu > 54 , a random sample of 24 elements selected from the population produced a mean of 59.5 and a standard deviation of 14.3. The test is to be made at the 2.5% significance level. Assume the population is normally distributed.

In a hypothesis test with hypotheses Ho: Mu GE 74 and H1: Mu , a random sample of 20 elements selected from the population produced a mean of 69.0 and a standard deviation of 13.7. The significance level is 1%. Assume the population is normally distributed. Should you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis in this test? Reset Selection

A company that manufactures light bulbs claims that its light bulbs last an average of 1150 hours. A sample of 25 light bulbs manufactured by this company gave a mean life of 1094 hours and a standard deviation of 174 hours. A consumer group wants to test the hypothesis that the mean life of light bulbs produced by this company is less than 1150 hours. The significance level is 5%. Assume the population is normally distributed. What is the critical value of t? Reset Selection

A company that manufactures light bulbs claims that its light bulbs last an average of 1150 hours. A sample of 25 light bulbs manufactured by this company gave a mean life of 1094 hours and a standard deviation of 174 hours. A consumer group wants to test the hypothesis that the mean life of light bulbs produced by this company is less than 1150 hours. The significance level is 5%. Assume the population is normally distributed. Does the data provide evidence to contradict the company’s claim about the average lifetime of their light bulbs? Reset Selection
