The average U.S. daily internet use at home is two hours and twenty minutes. A sample of 64 homes in Soddy-Daisy showed an average usage of two hours and 50 minutes with a standard deviation of 80 minutes. We are interested in determining whether or not the average usage in Soddy-Daisy is significantly different from the U.S. average. a.State the null and alternative hypotheses to be tested. b.Compute the test statistic. c.The null hypothesis is to be tested at 95% confidence. Determine the critical value(s) for this test. d.What do you conclude?

The average gasoline price of one of the major oil companies has been $2.20 per gallon. Because of cost reduction measures, it is believed that there has been a significant reduction in the average price. In order to test this belief, we randomly selected a sample of 36 of the company's gas stations and determined that the average price for the stations in the sample was $2.14. Assume that the standard deviation of the population ( σ\sigma ) is $0.12. a.State the null and the alternative hypotheses. b.Compute the test statistic. c.What is the p-value associated with the above sample results? d.At 95% confidence, test the company's claim.

The average price of homes sold in the U.S. in 2012 was $240,000. A sample of 144 homes sold in Chattanooga in 2012 showed an average price of $246,000. It is known that the standard deviation of the population ( σ\sigma ) is $36,000. We are interested in determining whether or not the average price of homes sold in Chattanooga is significantly more than the national average. a.State the null and alternative hypotheses to be tested. b.Compute the test statistic. c.The null hypothesis is to be tested at 95% confidence. Determine the critical value(s) for this test. d.What do you conclude?

A lathe is set to cut bars of steel into lengths of 6 centimeters. The lathe is considered to be in perfect adjustment if the average length of the bars it cuts is 6 centimeters. A sample of 121 bars is selected randomly and measured. It is determined that the average length of the bars in the sample is 6.08 centimeters with a standard deviation of 0.44 centimeters. a.Formulate the hypotheses to determine whether or not the lathe is in perfect adjustment. b.Compute the test statistic. c.Using the p-value approach, what is your conclusion? Let α\alpha = .05.
