He has good reason to believe that the mean systolic blood pressure, p, of CEOs of major corporations is different from 134 mm Hg, which is the value reported in a possibly outdated journal article. He plans to perform a statistical test. He measures the systolic blood pressures of a random sample of CEOs of major corporations and finds the mean of the sample to be 124 mm Hg and the standard deviation of the sample to be 16 mm Hg. 3 Based on this information, complete the parts below. 00 (a) What are the null hypothesis H0 and the alternative hypothesis H1 that should be used for the test? l4 i II] :29 H : I] o L <_l usu l.>lJ 3 H1 :1] DJ |_2_| Lj:|j l_ll:l T (b) Suppose that the researcher decides not to reject the null hypothesis.

The mean shopping time, p, '3 spent by customers at the supermarkets has been reported to be 38 minutes, but executives have good reason to believe that p. is different from 38 minutes. The executives hire a statistical consultant and ask her to perform a statistical test. To perform her statistical test, the consultant collects a random sample of shopping times at the supermarkets. She computes the mean of these times to be 43 minutes and the standard deviation of the times to be 15 minutes. 00 Based on this information, complete the parts below. j :19 (a) What are the null hypothesis H0 and the alternative hypothesis H1 that should be used for the test? l1 i [1 I H : :I 0 | 9.2 H1 : :I |2_l 2|] Lil] (b) Suppose that the consultant decides to reject the null hypothesis.

The company recently starting using new contracts which require customers to have the cars serviced at their own expense. The company's owner believes the mean ? number of miles driven annually under the new contracts, p, is less than 12,260 miles. He takes a random sample of 37 cars under the new contracts. The cars in the sample had a mean of 11,858 annual miles driven. Assume that the population is normally distributed.
