1) The researcher wants to estimate the number of hours that 5-year old children spend watching television. A sample of 50 five-year old children was observed to have a mean viewing time of 3 hours. The population is normally distributed with a population standard deviation 0.5 hour, find:

a) the best point estimate of the population mean.

b) the 90% confidence interval of the population mean.

2) The mean scores of a random sample of 17 students who took a special test is 83.5. If the sd of the scores is 4.1, the sample comes from an approximately normal population, find the point and interval estimates of the population mean adopting a confidence level of 95%.

3) In a gymnasium, physical exercise has a mean length of 30 mins with a sd of 6 mins. A PE major wants to estimate the true length of the exercise with a maximum error pegged at 0.5 adopting the 95% confidence interval. How many respondents does he need?

3) A social worker reports that 30% of workers in a factory are below 15 years of age. Of the 120 employees surveyed, 38 said they were below 15 years old. Using ? = 0.05, interpret the p-value.

1) If a hypothesis is conducted using 𝐠= 0.05, for which of the following p-values would the null hypothesis be rejected?

2) For each pair of ? and p-value, indicate whether the null hypothesis would be rejected.

3) In a test of H₀: µ = 80 against H₁: µ＜80, the sample data yielded the test statistic z = 1.63. What is

the p-value for the test?

4) In a test of H₀: µ = 80 against H₁: µ ≠ 80, a sample of observations had a mean and standard

deviation s = 4.1. What is the p-value for this test?

5) In a test of H₀: µ = 72 against H₁: µ ≠ 72, the sample data yielded the test statistic z = 1.63. Find the p-value for the test.
