Suppose we are testing the null hypothesis H_0 : \mu = 32H0:μ=32 and the alternative hypothesis H_a : \mu \ne 32Ha:μ=32, for a normal population with population standard deviation of \sigma =σ= 3.5. A random sample of sixteen observations are drawn from the population, and we find the sample mean of these observations is \overline{x} =x= 30.5. Compute the P-value for this test. Give your answer to four decimal places.

In an experiment, the first sample with n1 = 10 has a standard deviation of s1 = 0.5. The second sample with n2 = 8 has a standard deviation s2 = 0.7.Determine the 98% confidence interval for (s_1/2)/(s_2/2) which is the ratio of the population variance. the random sample with sizes n1 = 16 and n2 = 25 respectively were taken from two normal populations. the vairance for both samples were s21 = 48 and S22 = 26 respectively. using an appropriate hypothesis, carry out a test to determine whether the variance from the first population is higher than the variance from the second population. use \alpha = 0.05

Unfortunately, arsenic occurs naturally in some ground water. A mean arsenic level of u = 8 parts per billion (ppb) is considered safe for agricultural use. A well in Los Banos is used to water cotton crops. This well is tested on a regular basis for arsenic. A random sample of 37 tests gave a sample mean of - = 7.3 ppb arsenic. It is known that o = this information indicate that the mean level of arsenic in this well is less than 8 ppb? Use the classical approach. Use a = 0.01 1.9 ppb for this type of data.
