The average gasoline price of one of the major oil companies has been hovering around $2.20 per gallon. Because of cost reduction measures, it is announced that there will be a significant reduction in the average price over the next month. In order to test this belief, we wait one month, then randomly select a sample of 36 of the company's gas stations. We find that the average price for the stations in the sample was $2.15. The standard deviation of the prices for the selected gas stations is $0.10. Given that the test statistic for this sample is t = - 3, determine the p-value.

A company runs two production lines, A and B, when packaging canned vegetables. If a can has a dent or any visual imperfection it is considered to be defective. From production line A, a random sample of 200 cans are selected, and it is determined that 12 are defective. From production line B, a random sample of 300 cans are selected, and it is determined that 21 are defective. Develop a 90% confidence interval for the difference between the two population proportions. Based upon the calculated confidence interval, do we have evidence to conclude that the proportion of defective cans differs for the two production lines?

No. The value of zero is contained in the 90% confidence interval, so we do not believe that there is a difference in the proportion of defective cans differs for the two production lines.

The estimated regression equation, yhat = -10.42 + 0.79x , can be used to predict a company's sales volume (y), in millions, based upon its advertising expenditure (x), in $10,000s. What is the company's predicted sales volume if they spend $500,000 on advertising?

The average gasoline price of one of the major oil companies has been hovering around $2.20 per gallon. Because of cost reduction measures, it is announced that there will be a significant reduction in the average price over the next month. In order to test this belief, we wait one month, then randomly select a sample of 36 of the company's gas stations. We find that the average price for the stations in the sample was $2.15. The standard deviation of the prices for the selected gas stations is $0.10. Given that the p-value is 0.002, state the conclusion. Use α = 0.01.

A doctor would like to know if men and women got the same amount of sleep per night or if women tended to get less sleep than men. He took a random sample of 100 of his male and 100 of his female patients and asked them how many hours of sleep they got, per night, on average.
