FOUR-STEP PROCESS: SIGNIFICANCE TESTS PRACTICE

1. Cans of LaCroix are supposed to contain 355 milliliters (ml). There is some variation for
each can because the filling machinery is not perfectly precise. An inspector measures the
contents (in ml) of 12 randomly selected cans from a single day’s production.

x = 352.9 sx = 2.19

Do these data provide convincing evidence at the a = 0.01 significance level that the mean
amount of LaCroix in all the cans filled that day is less than the target value of 355 ml?

STATE: State hypotheses, parameter(s), significance level, and evidence for Ha.

FOUR-STEP PROCESS: SIGNIFICANCE TESTS PRACTICE

2. A recent report on elementary schools in Kent county claimed that 13% of elementary
students typically walk to school. Trey thinks that the proportion is different than 0.13 at his
large elementary school (1000 students). Trey surveys a random sample of 80 students from
his school and finds that 17 typically walk to school. Do the data provide convincing
evidence that Trey’s school has a different proportion of walkers than claimed by the report?
Use α = 0.01.
