Hypothesis Test

1. A consumer group, concerned about the mean fat content of a certain grade of steak
burger submits to an independent laboratory a random sample of 12 steak burgers for
analysis. The percentage of fat in each of the steak burgers is as follows: 21 18 19 16 18
24 22 19 24 14 18 15 The manufacturer claims that the mean fat content of this grade
of steak burger is less than 20%. Assuming percentage fat content to be normally
distributed with a standard deviation of 3, carry out an appropriate hypothesis test in order
to advise the consumer group as to the validity of the manufacturer's claim
2. During a particular week, 13 babies were born in a maternity unit. Part of the standard
procedure is to measure the length of the baby. Given below is a list of the lengths, in
centimeters, of the babies born in this particular week. 49 50 45 51 47 49 48 54 53
55 45 50 48. Assuming that this sample came from an underlying normal population,
test, at the 5% significance level, the hypothesis that the population mean length is 50 cm.
3. A random sample of 12 steel ingots was taken from
kilograms, of these ingots are given below. 24.8 30.8
27.5 27.8 23.9 23.2 Assuming that this sample
population, investigate the claim that its mean exceeds

a production line. The masses, in

28.1 24.8 27.4 22.1 24.7 27.3
came from an underlying normal
25.0 kg.

4. A car manufacturer introduces a new method of assembling a particular component. The

old method had a mean assembly time of 42 minutes. The manufacturer would like the
assembly time to be as short as possible, and so he expects the new method to have a
smaller mean. A random sample of assembly times (minutes) taken after the new method
had become established was 27 39 28 41 47 42 35 32 38 Stating any necessary
distributional assumptions, investigate the manufacturer's expectation.
= 2 %
5. A random sample of 15 workers from a vacuum flask assembly line was selected from a
large number of such workers. Ivor Stopwatch, a work-study engineer, asked each of these
workers to assemble a one-litre vacuum flask at their normal working speed. The times
taken, in seconds, to complete these tasks are given below: 109.2 146.2 127.9 92.0
108.5 91.1 109.8 114.9 115.3 99.0 112.8 130.7 141.7 122.6 119.9 Assuming that
this sample came from an underlying normal population, investigate the claim that the
population mean assembly time is less than 2 minutes.
= 5%
6. A pharmacist claims that more than 60% of all customers simply collect a prescription. One
of her assistants notes that, in a random sample of 12 customers, 10 simply collected a
prescription. Does this provide sufficient evidence, at the 5% level, to support the
pharmacist's claim
7. In a survey carried out in Funville, 14 children out of a random sample of 30 said that they
bought the Bopper comic regularly. Test, at the 10% level of significance, the hypothesis
that the true proportion of all children who buy this comic regularly is 0.35.

8. A random sample of 36 coffee drinkers were each asked to taste-test a new brand of
coffee. The responses are listed below with L representing 'like', I representing 'indifferent',
and D representing 'dislike'.
LDLLDLLLLLDD
LLLLLDLLLLDD
LLLLDLLLLLLD
Do these data support the claim that more than half of all coffee drinkers like this new
brand of coffee?
= 5%
9. Packets of ground filter coffee have a nominal weight of 200 g. The distribution of weights
may be assumed to be normal. A random sample of 32 packets had the following weights.
218 207 214 189 211 206 203 217 183 186 197 219 213 207 214 203 204 195

Assuming that the 40 employees may be regarded as a random sample of all employees,
test the hypothesis, at the 5% significance level, that 40% of all employees require size 3.
Test the claim that size 3 is the median size.
11.
The Acme Company has developed a new battery. The engineer in charge claims
that the new battery will operate continuously for at least 7 minutes longer than the old
battery. To test the claim, the company selects a simple random sample of 100 new
batteries and 100 old batteries. The old batteries run continuously for 190 minutes with a
standard deviation of 20 minutes; the new batteries, 200 minutes with a standard
deviation of 40 minutes.
Test the engineer's claim that the new batteries run at least 7 minutes longer than the old.
Use a 0.05 level of significance. (Assume that there are no outliers in either sample.)

Within a school district, students were randomly assigned to one of two Math
teachers - Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Jones. After the assignment, Mrs. Smith had 30 students,
and Mrs. Jones had 25 students. At the end of the year, each class took the same
standardized test. Mrs. Smith's students had an average test score of 78, with a standard
deviation of 10; and Mrs. Jones' students had an average test score of 85, with a standard
deviation of 15.
Test the hypothesis that Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Jones are equally effective teachers. Use a
0.10 level of significance. (Assume that student performance is approximately normal.)

The CEO of a large electric utility claims that 80 percent of his 1,000,000 customers
are very satisfied with the service they receive. To test this claim, the local newspaper
surveyed 100 customers, using simple random sampling. Among the sampled customers,
73 percent say they are very satisified. Based on these findings, can we reject the CEO's
hypothesis that 80% of the customers are very satisfied? Use a 0.05 level of significance.

A University conducted a survey of its recent graduates to collect demographic and
health information for future planning purposes as well as to assess students' satisfaction
with their undergraduate experiences. The survey revealed that a substantial proportion of
students were not engaging in regular exercise, many felt their nutrition was poor and a
substantial number were smoking. In response to a question on regular exercise, 60% of all
graduates reported getting no regular exercise, 25% reported exercising sporadically and
15% reported exercising regularly as undergraduates. The next year the University
launched a health promotion campaign on campus in an attempt to increase health
behaviors among undergraduates. The program included modules on exercise, nutrition
and smoking cessation. To evaluate the impact of the program, the University again
surveyed graduates and asked the same questions. The survey was completed by 470
graduates and the following data were collected on the exercise question:

The National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) provided data on the distribution of
weight (in categories) among Americans in 2002. The distribution was based on specific
values of body mass index (BMI) computed as weight in kilograms over height in meters
squared. Underweight was defined as BMI< 18.5, Normal weight as BMI between 18.5 and
24.9, overweight as BMI between 25 and 29.9 and obese as BMI of 30 or greater.
Americans in 2002 were distributed as follows: 2% Underweight, 39% Normal Weight, 36%
Overweight, and 23% Obese. Suppose we want to assess whether the distribution of BMI is
different in the Framingham Offspring sample. Using data from the n=3,326 participants

In a prior example we evaluated data from a survey of university graduates which
assessed, among other things, how frequently they exercised. The survey was completed
by 470 graduates. In the prior example we used the 2 goodness-of-fit test to assess
whether there was a shift in the distribution of responses to the exercise question following
the implementation of a health promotion campaign on campus. We specifically considered
one sample (all students) and compared the observed distribution to the distribution of
responses the prior year (a historical control). Suppose we now wish to assess whether
there is a relationship between exercise on campus and students' living arrangements. As
part of the same survey, graduates were asked where they lived their senior year. The
response options were dormitory, on-campus apartment, off-campus apartment, and at
home (i.e., commuted to and from the university). The data are shown below.

A randomized trial is designed to evaluate the effectiveness of a newly developed
pain reliever designed to reduce pain in patients following joint replacement surgery. The
trial compares the new pain reliever to the pain reliever currently in use (called the
standard of care). A total of 100 patients undergoing joint replacement surgery agreed to
participate in the trial. Patients were randomly assigned to receive either the new pain
reliever or the standard pain reliever following surgery and were blind to the treatment
assignment. Before receiving the assigned treatment, patients were asked to rate their
pain on a scale of 0-10 with higher scores indicative of more pain. Each patient was then
given the assigned treatment and after 30 minutes was again asked to rate their pain on
the same scale. The primary outcome was a reduction in pain of 3 or more scale points
(defined by clinicians as a clinically meaningful reduction). The following data were
observed in the trial.

9. A small study is conducted involving 17 infants to investigate the association between
gestational age at birth, measured in weeks, and birth weight, measured in grams.

a) We wish to estimate the association between gestational age and infant birth weight. In
this example, birth weight is the dependent variable and gestational age is the
independent variable.
b) Build a confidence interval with 95 %, between eight and weight

c) If the eight is 37.8, which should be the expected weight?

d) If the weight is 2990, which should be the expected eight?
e) Build an confidence interval (90%) for the estimation of c.
f)Determine the correlation between these variables.
