A health administration recommends that individuals consume 1000 mg of calcium daily. After an advertising campaign aimed at male teenagers, a dairy association states that male teenagers consume more than the recommended daily amount of calcium. To support this statement, the association obtained a random sample of 50 male teenagers and found that the mean amount of calcium consumed was 1020 mg, with a standard deviation of 150 mg. Is there significant evidence to support the statement of the association at the alphaαequals=0.05 level of significance?
The correct hypotheses is
Upper H 0H0:
muμ
less than<
1000
Upper H 1H1:

1000
The test statistic is
t 0t0equals=1.0102
The corresponding p-value is 0.1587

From previous part:
P - value = 0.1587 which is greater than 0.05. So, we do not reject Ho.

Two professors at a local college developed a new teaching curriculum designed to increase students' grades in math classes. In a typical developmental math course, 4949% of the students complete the course with a letter grade of A, B, or C. In the experimental course, of the 1919 students enrolled, 1212 completed the course with a letter grade of A, B, or C. Is the experimental course effective at the alpha equals 0.05α=0.05 level of significance? Complete parts (a) through...

The average daily volume of a computer stock in 2011 was u = 35.1 milion shares, according to a reliable source. A stock analyst believes that the stock volume in 2014 is different from the 2011 level. Based on a random sample of 40 trading days in 2014, he finds the sample mean to be 25,3 million shares with a standard deviation of s 12.1 million shares. Test the hypotheses by constructing a 95% confidence interval. Complete parts (a) through...
10. Write a one-page summary of the attached paper? INTRODUCTION Many problems can develop in activated sludge operation that adversely affect effluent quality with origins in the engineering, hydraulic and microbiological components of the process. The real "heart" of the activated sludge system is the development and maintenance of a mixed microbial culture (activated sludge) that treats wastewater and which can be managed. One definition of a wastewater treatment plant operator is a "bug farmer", one who controls the aeration...
