A company that manufactures laptop batteries claims the mean battery life is 16 hours. Assuming the distribution of battery life is approximately normal, a consumer group will conduct a hypothesis test to investigate whether the battery life is less than 16 hours. The group selected a random sample of 14 of the batteries and found an average life of 15.6 hours with a standard deviation of 0.8 hour. Which of the following is the correct test statistic for the hypothesis test?

Milk has a PH of 6.7, which is slightly acidic. Cheese makers add a culture to milk to lower the PH, making it more acidic and turning it into cheese. A manufacturer is experimenting with a new culture that claims to produce a PH of 5.2, which is perfect for cheddar cheese. A set of 50 test batches resulted in an average PH of 5.11. A one sample -test was conducted to investigate whether there is evidence that the mean PH is different from 5.2. The test resulted in a PH-value of 0.018. Which of the following is a correct interpretation of the -value?
The probability that the true PH is equal to 5.2 is 0.018.
The probability that the true PH is different from 5.2 is 0.018.
The probability of observing a sample mean of 5.11 or less is 0.018 if the true mean is 5.2.
The probability of observing a sample mean of 5.11 or more is 0.018 if the true mean is 5.2.
The probability of observing a sample mean of 5.11 or less, or of 5.29 or more, is 0.018 if the true mean is 5.2.

A company director investigated whether there is a difference in the mean number of overtime hours worked each
week by employees assigned to two different managers. Each manager, A and B, manages 100 employees. Random
samples of 35 employees from manager A and 40 employees from manager B were selected. The number of
overtime hours worked was recorded for the 75 employees each week. Have the conditions been met for inference with a confidence interval for the difference in the population means?
Yes, all conditions have been met.
No, because the data were not collected using a random method.
No, because the size of at least one of the samples is greater than 10 percent of the population.
No, because the sample sizes are not large enough to assume the distribution of the difference in sample
means is normal.
No, because the sample sizes are not the same.
