A principal at a school claims that the students in his school are above average intelligence. A random sample of 30 students' IQ scores have a
mean score of 112.5. The mean population IQ is 100 with a standard deviation of 15. Is there a sufficient evidence to support the principal's
claim? Test the claim at 95% confidence level.CA

A coffee shop relocates to Italy and wants to make sure that all lattes are consistent. They believe that each latte has an average of 4 oz of
espresso. If this is not the case, they must increase or decrease the amount. A random sample of 25 lattes shows a mean of 4.6 oz of espresso
and a standard deviation of .22 oz. Use alpha = 0.05.

A rental car company claims the mean time to rent a car on their website is 60 seconds with a standard deviation of 30 seconds. A random
sample of 36 customers attempted to rent a car on the website. The mean time to rent was 75 seconds. Is this enough evidence to contradict the
company's claim? Use 95% confidence level.

Your company wants to get higher sales. Past sales data indicate that the average sale was $100 per transaction. After training your sales
force, recent sales data (taken from a sample of 25 salesmen) indicates an average sale of $130, with a standard deviation of $15. Did the
training work? Test your hypothesis at a 5% alpha level.

According the the U.S. Department of Education, full-time graduate students receive an average salary of $12,800. The dean of graduate studies
at a large state university in PA claims that his graduate students earn more than this. He surveys 46 randomly selected students and finds
their average salary is $13,445 with a standard deviation of $1800. With alpha = 0.05, is the dean’s claim correct?

To see if young men spend a different amount of money than the national average of $24.44 per shopping trip to a local mall, the manager
surveyed 32 young men. She found that the average amount spent per trip was $23.37 with a standard deviation of $3.70. With alpha = 0.05,
can it be concluded that young men spend a different amount at the local mall than the national average?
