For each problem: (1) Write the null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis; (2) Perform a hypothesis test using StatCrunch, and report the test statistic and P-value; (3) Do you reject the null hypothesis (YES/NO)? 1. The birth weights (in kilograms) are recorded for a sample of male babies born to mothers taking a special vitamin supplement (based on data from the New York State Department of Health). Given the sample size is 16, with mean of 3.675 kg and standard deviation of 0.657, test the claim using a 0.01 significance level that the mean birth weight for all male babies of mothers given vitamins is equal to 3.39 kg, which is the mean for the population of all males babies. 2. A manufacturer states that the average lifetime of its light bulbs is 3 years or 36 months. A consumer group thinks they exaggerate. They select fifty bulbs, and the average lifetime is found to be 32 months with the standard deviation of 8 months. Should the manufacturer’s statement be rejected at = 0.01? 3. A national magazine claims that the average college student watches less television than the general public. The national average is 29.4 hours per week. A sample of 30 college students has mean 27 hours and standard deviation 2 hours. Is there evidence to support the claim at = 0.01?
