The National Weather Service says that the mean daily high temperature for October in a large mid-western city is 56F. A local weather service suspects that this value is not accurate and wants to perform a hypothesis test to determine whether the mean is actually lower than 56F. A sample of mean daily high temperatures for October over the past 37 years yields a sample mean of 54oF. Assume that the population standard deviation is 5.6 F. Perform the hypothesis test at the 1% significance level.

(b) two-tailed
(c) right-tailed
The test is(Enter a, b, or c)

The maximum acceptable level of a certain toxic chemical in vegetables has been set at 0.6 parts per million (ppm).A consumer health group measured the level of the chemical in a random sample of tomatoes obtained from one producer to determine whether the mean level of the chemical in these tomatoes exceeds the recommended limit. This test would be
(a) left-tailed
(b) two-tailed
(c) right-tailed
The test is(Enter a, b, or c)

The critical value (s) is/are(Enter a letter A through I)
STEP 4.The test statistics is(Enter a z-score rounded to two decimal places)
The test statistics is z = [g]
STEP 5.Make the decision.
A: Reject the null hypothesis
B: Do not reject the null hypothesis.
The decision is(Enter A or B)
