A potential buyer wants to decide which of two brands of electric bulbs he should
buy as he has to buy them in bulk. As a specimen, he buys 100 bulbs of each of
the two brands A and B. On using these bulbs, he finds that Brand A has a mean
life of 1000 hours with a standard deviation of 30 and Brand B has a mean life of
1050 hours with a standard deviation of 50 hours. Do the two brands differ
significantly in quality?

There was a persistent complaint by the users of a facility that the waiting time
had been excessively high. This group of users of the facility could not afford an
average waiting time of more than ten minutes. In order to reduce the waiting
time an additional server was provided and the waiting time in the nearest integer
minutes experienced by 30 randomly selected customers in the modified facility
was noted as below:

The average height of males in the freshman class of a certain college has been
174.5 centimeters with a standard deviation of 6.9 centimeters. Is there reason to
believe that there has been a change in the average height if a random sample of
50 males in the present freshman class has an average height of 177.2
centimeters? Use a 0.02 level of significance.

Test the hypothesis that the average content of containers of a particular lubricant
is 10 liters if the contents of a random sample of 10 containers are 10.2, 9.7, 10.1,
10.3, 10.1, 9.8, 9.9, 10.4, 10.3 and 9.8 liters. Use a 0.01 level of significance and
assume that the distribution of contents is normal.

A random sample of size 20 from a normal distribution has a mean x = 32.8 and
a standard deviation s = 4.51 .Does this suggest, at the 0.05 level of significance
that the population mean is greater than 30?

A random sample of eight cigarettes of a certain brand has an average tar content
of 18.6 milligrams and a standard deviation of 2.4 milligrams. Is this in line with
the manufacturer claim that the average tar content does not exceed 17.5
milligrams?

A male student will spend on the average $8.00 for a Saturday evening fraternity
party. Test the hypothesis at the 0.1 level of significance that = $8.00 against
the alternative $8.00 if a random sample of 12 male students attending a
homecoming party showed an average expenditure of $8.90 with a standard
deviation of $1.75. Assume that the expenses are approximately normally
distributed.

A manufacturer claims that the average tensile strength of thread A exceeds the
average tensile strength of thread B by at least 12 kilograms. To test his claim 50
pieces of each type of thread are tested under similar conditions. Type A thread
had an average tensile strength of 86.7 kilograms with a standard deviation of
6.28 kilograms while type B thread had an average tensile strength of 77.8
kilograms with a standard deviation of 5.61 kilograms. Test the manufacturers
claim using a 0.05 level of significance.

Test the hypothesis that the average running time of films produced by company 2
exceeds the average running time of films produced by company 1 by 10 minutes
against the one-sided alternative that the difference is more than 10 minutes. Use
a 0.1 level of significance and assume the distributions of times to be
approximately normal.

At a certain college it is estimated that fewer than 25% of the students have cars
on campus. Does this seem to be a valid estimate if in a random sample of 90
college students, 28 are found to have cars? Use a 0.05 level of significance.
A cigarette manufacturing firm distributes two brands of cigarettes. If it is found
that 56 of 200 smokers prefer brand A and that 29 of 150 smokers prefer brand B.

cars, can we conclude that more men than women have cars on campus? Use a
0.01 level of significance.

A salesman for a shoe company claimed runners would record quicker times, on
the average, with the companys brand of sneaker. A track coach decided to test
the claim. The coach selected eight runners. Each runner ran two 100 m. dashes
on different days. In one 100 m. dash, the runners wore the sneakers supplied by
the school and in the other, the sneakers supplied by the salesman. Each runner
was randomly assigned the sneakers to wear for the first run. Their times,
measured in seconds, are presented below:

A marketing manager has drawn random samples of 500 customers from each of
the five sales territories to find out how many of them use the product
manufactured by his company. In the five territories, the number of customers
using the product was found to be 200, 150, 320, 180 and 230. On the basis of this
information, can it be concluded at 5% significance level that there is significant
difference in the proportion of customers using the companys product in the five
sales territories.
