In a study, researchers wanted to measure the effect of alcohol on the hippocampal region, the portion of the brain responsible for long-term memory storage, in adolescents. The researchers randomly selected 15 adolescents with alcohol use disorders to determine whether the hippocampal volumes in the alcoholic adolescents were less than the normal volume of \( 9.02 \mathrm{~cm}^{3} \). An analysis of the sample data revealed that the hippocampal volume is approximately normal with no outliers and \( \bar{x}=8.07 \mathrm{~cm}^{3} \) and \( \mathrm{s}=0.8 \mathrm{~cm}^{3} \). Conduct the appropriate test at the \( \alpha=0.01 \) level of significance. \( \mathrm{H}_{0}: \mu=9.02 \) \( \mathrm{H}_{1}: \mu<9.02 \) (Type integers or decimals. Do not round.) Identify the t-statistic. \( t_{0}=\square \) (Round to two decimal places as needed.)

Identify the population, the sample, and any population parameters or sample statistics in the given scenario. In the 1960 s, a poll of 2617 homeowners in the United States resulted in a report that the average price of a house in the U.S. was \( \$ 18,500 \). Answer O Population: none given: Sample: 2617 homeowners polled: Sample Statistic: \( \$ 18,500 \) Opopulation: U.S. homeowners: Sample: none given; Population Parameter: \( \$ 18,500 \)

Construct a box plot from the given data. Diameters of Cans in an Assembly Line: \( 5.8,5.7,5.2,5.5,5.3,5.7,5.8,5.4,5.9,5.3 \)

Scores on a test have a mean of 78 and a standard deviation of 13 . Tom has a score of 66 . Convert Tom's score to a \( z \)-score, rounded to the nearest hundredth.

A water bottling facility has a mean bottling rate of 33.5 thousand bottles per hour with a standard deviation of 1.92 thousand bottles. A nearby cola bottling facility has a mean bottling rate of 26.2 thousand bottles per hour with a standard deviation of 1.42 thousand bottles. One Wednesday from noon to \( 1: 00 \) p.m., the water bottling facility bottled 36.8 thousand bottles of water, and the cola bottling facility bottled 28.4 thousand bottles of cola. Which facility increased their efficiency more during that hour? Answer
