Problem 1: A family wanted to make sure they were buying oatmeal that had the amount of oatmeal that was indicated on the package, so they decided to test a sample of oatmeal packages to see if the packages indeed had an average of 28 grams of oatmeal in them or if they contained less than the stated amount. A random sample of 40 oatmeal packages with a sample mean of 27.95 grams was selected. Assuming the sample standard deviation is .45 grams, conduct a test at the .05 level of significance.

  1. Name the type of t-test that you will use and why you will use that one.

  1. State the null and alternative hypothesis in symbols and in words.

  1. State your alpha level:

  1. Perform a hypothesis test using the table approach & the p-value approach

  1. t-table approach (comparing the computed t to the t in the table)

  1. find the test statistic first

  1. find the df

  1. find the t in the table to create the rejection region

  1. make a decision: compare the test statistic to the rejection region created by the t from the table.

  1. p-value approach:

  1. What is your conclusion, in words and using the appropriate statistics (t test statistic, df, p-value)?

Problem 2: A student conducted a survey about sleep and its possible effect on GPA. They randomly sampled 20 students, 10 who stated that they slept for 7 hours or more per night (the recommended amount of sleep some researchers say one should get) and 10 who stated that they slept less than 7 hours per night. Both groups stated their estimated GPA. Analyze the data using the appropriate techniques and give a conclusion about the results.
