A random sample of 49 medical doctors in LA showed that they worked an average of 53.1 hours/week with a standard deviation of 7.2 hours/week. If the California average is 60 hours/week, does this give evidence that the LA doctors work significantly less than the rest of California?

White blood cell counts are normally distributed with mean 7500 and variance 500. If a patient has taken 50 laboratory blood tests that have a mean of 6899.75 and a standard deviation of 393.44, does this give evidence that his white blood cell count is significantly different than normal?

USA Today reported that in 1992, 39% of all elementary school children claimed that when they grow up they want to do something to help other people. However, in 1995, 128 of a random sample of 317 of these same children claimed that when they grow up they want to do something to help other people. Does this information indicate that there has been an attitude change either way?

The following is based on information taken from Winter Wind Studies in Rocky Mountain National Park, by Glidden. At five weather stations on Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park, the peak wind gusts (mi/hr) in January and April are recorded below:
Weather station 1 2 3 4 5
January 139 122 126 64 78
April 104 113 100 88 61
Difference 35 9 26 -24 17
Does this information indicate that the peak wind gusts are higher in January than April?

In 1975, a random sample of 1484 adult U.S. citizens was surveyed, and 193 strongly agreed with the statement, "People should take care of themselves". Then, in 1991, a survey of 1013 adult U.S. citizens showed that only 61 strongly agreed with the statement. Does this indicate that the proportion of U.S.adults who strongly agree with the given statement has dropped?
