Atextile fiber manufacturer is investigating a new drapery yarn, which the company claims has a mean thread elongation of 12 kilograms with a standard deviation of 0.5 kilograms. the company wishes to test the hypothesis h0: µ = 12 against h1: µ < 12 using a random sample of n = 4 specimens. calculate the p-value if the observed statistic is xbar (average) = 11.25

The weight of full–grown tomatoes at a farm is modeled by a normal distribution with a standard deviation of 18.4 grams. the 95 percent confidence interval for the mean weight of the tomatoes is calculated using a sample of 100 tomatoes. what is the margin of error (half the width of the confidence interval)?

If your score on your next statistics test is converted to a z score, which of these z scores would you prefer: minus2.00, minus1.00, 0, 1.00, 2.00? why? a. the z score of 2.00 is most preferable because it is 2.00 standard deviations above the mean and would correspond to the highest of the five different possible test scores. b. the z score of 0 is most preferable because it corresponds to a test score equal to the mean. c. the z score of minus2.00 is most preferable because it is 2.00 standard deviations below the mean and would correspond to the highest of the five different possible test scores. d. the z score of minus1.00 is most preferable because it is 1.00 standard deviation below the mean and would correspond to an above average
