A simple random sample of size \( n=15 \) is drawn from a population that is normally distributed. The sample mean is found to be \( \bar{x}=27.4 \) and the sample standard deviation is found to be \( s=6.3 \). Determine if the population mean is different from 24 at the \( \alpha=0.01 \) level of significance. Complete parts (a) through (d) below. (a) Determine the null and alternative hypotheses. \( \mathrm{H}_{0}: \quad \mu \quad=24 \) \( \mathrm{H}_{1}: \quad \mu \quad \neq 24 \) (b) Calculate the P-value. P-value \( =\square \) (Round to three decimal places as needed.)

Four scenarios of statistical studies are given below. Decide which study uses a population parameter. Answer 1000 of the 1883 participants in last year's Ironman in Kona, Hawail were interviewed. \( 68 \% \) of those interviewed said they became interested in triathlons after first ofmpeting in marathons. 351 dog owners who were surveyed, 70 reported owning two dogs. Parkland Hospital performs 15,000 births a year. Of 1000 subjects in a study on multiple births, 38 gave birth to twins. in \( 2001.78 \% \) of children diagnosed with cancer were in remission after five years, and this number is improving.

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

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

Find the range of the following data set. Assume the data set is a sample.

A water bottling facility has a mean bottling rate of 35.2 thousand bottles per hour with a standard deviation of 2.04 thousand bottles, A nearby cola bottling facility has a mean bottling rate of 26.9 thousand bottles per hour with a standard deviation of 1.51 thousand bottles. One Wednesday from noon to \( 1: 00 \) p.m., the water bottling facility bottled 36.9 thousand bottles of water, and the cola bottling facility bottled 27.9 thousand bottles of cola. Which facility increased their efficiency more during that hour? Answer
