    Worksheet 1 ch 9.

    Skill Development Problems

    Example 1
    If the claim is that the average time to make a name-brand ready-mix pie is five minutes, the statistical
    shorthand notation for the null hypothesis in this case would be as follows:

    Example 2
    Two years ago, before the planners began their campaign; the average speed of vehicles in the downtown
    core during rush hour was calculated to be at least 50 kph. Assume the population standard deviation
    hasn’t changed and is 4.4 kph.

    Example 3
    Suppose you work for a company that produces cooking pots with an average life span of 7 years. To gain
    a competitive advantage you suggest using a new material that claims to extend the life span of the pots.
    You want to test the hypothesis that the average life span of the cooking pots made with this new material
    increases more than 7 years.
    Worksheet 1 ch 9.1
