1. A frozen food company wishes to know the mean 1. A frozen food company wishes to know the mean
length of corn received in a large shipment. A length of corn received in a large shipment. A
random sample of 20 corns were collected and random sample of 20 corns were collected and
measured and found to have a mean length of 8.0 measured and found to have a mean length of 8.0
inches. It has been known that the standard inches. It has been known that the standard
deviation of all corn shipments is 1.5 inches. Is there deviation of all corn shipments is 1.5 inches. Is there
a reason to believe that the mean length of the corn a reason to believe that the mean length of the corn
is not 9.0 inches at 0.05 level of significance? is not 9.0 inches at 0.05 level of significance?

2. A random sample of 20 girls showed a mean 2. A random sample of 20 girls showed a mean
height of 163 cm. with a standard deviation of height of 163 cm. with a standard deviation of
20 cm., while a random sample of 23 boys 20 cm., while a random sample of 23 boys
showed a mean height of 170 cm. with a showed a mean height of 170 cm. with a
standard deviation of 2.98 cm. Assuming that standard deviation of 2.98 cm. Assuming that
the heights are approximately normally the heights are approximately normally
distributed, can we say that the heights are not distributed, can we say that the heights are not
significantly different at 0.05 level of significantly different at 0.05 level of
significance? significance?
