A researcher found that a cigarette smoker smokes on average 31 cigarettes a day. She feels that this average is too high. She selected a random sample of 15 smokers and found that mean number of cigarettes they smoked per day was 28. The sample standard deviation was 2.4. At Alpha αequals 0.05 is there enough evidence to support her claim?Assume that the population is approximately normally distributed.

A health psychologist knows the smoking population at the hospital where she works smokes an average of 18 cigarettes per day with a standard deviation of 7. She plans to conduct a program to reduce smoking. If she has 25 persons in her program, what is the power to detect a real effect of the program such that cigarette consumption is reduced, on the average, by 5 cigarettes? Assume population normality and use a = 0.05 1 tail . a....

The amounts of nicotine in a certain brand of cigarette are normally distributed with a mean of 0.962 g and a standard deviation of 0.316 g. The company that produces these cigarettes claims that it has now reduced the amount of nicotine. The supporting evidence consists of a sample of 41 cigarettes with a mean nicotine amount of 0.893 g. Assuming that the given mean and standard deviation have NOT changed, find the probability of randomly selecting 41 cigarettes with...

(2) A state executive claims that the average cost of tuition at public colleges is $5700. A researcher wishes to test the claim that this cost is greater than $5700. She selects a random sample of 36 public colleges and finds the mean to be $5950.The population standard deviation is $659. Is there enough evidence to support the claim that the cost of tuition is greater than $5700 at a 0.05?

37) A researcher would like to determine whether a new tax on cigarettes has had any effect on people's behavior. During the year before the tax was imposed, stores located in rest areas on the state thruway reported selling an average of u = 410 packs per day with s = 60. The distribution of daily sales was approximately normal. For a sample of n = 9 days following the new tax, the researcher found an average of M...
