20. The records of a casualty insurance company show that, in the past, its clients have had a mean of https://secure.aleks.com/alekscgi/x/math2htgif.exe/NM?2%2D%3Bauto accidents per day with a standard deviation of https://secure.aleks.com/alekscgi/x/math2htgif.exe/NM?3%2D36. The actuaries of the company claim that the standard deviation of the number of accidents per day is no longer equal to https://secure.aleks.com/alekscgi/x/math2htgif.exe/NM?3%2D36. Suppose that we want to carry out a hypothesis test to see if there is support for the actuaries’ claim. State the null hypothesis https://secure.aleks.com/alekscgi/x/math2htgif.exe/NM?K%3Fpva%3D3%3F%2Cpva%3Dand the alternative hypothesis https://secure.aleks.com/alekscgi/x/math2htgif.exe/NM?K%3Fpva%3D2%3F%2Cpva%3Dthat we would use for this test.

21. A laboratory claims that the mean sodium level, https://secure.aleks.com/alekscgi/x/math2htgif.exe/NM?%25nv8, of a healthy adult is https://secure.aleks.com/alekscgi/x/math2htgif.exe/NM?273mEq per liter of blood. To test this claim, a random sample of https://secure.aleks.com/alekscgi/x/math2htgif.exe/NM?72adult patients is evaluated. The mean sodium level for the sample is https://secure.aleks.com/alekscgi/x/math2htgif.exe/NM?277mEq per liter of blood. It is known that the population standard deviation of adult sodium levels is https://secure.aleks.com/alekscgi/x/math2htgif.exe/NM?23mEq. Assume that the population is normally distributed. Can we conclude, at the https://secure.aleks.com/alekscgi/x/math2htgif.exe/NM?3%2D2level of significance, that the population mean adult sodium level differs from that claimed by the laboratory?

22. For a study conducted by the research department of a pharmaceutical company, https://secure.aleks.com/alekscgi/x/math2htgif.exe/NM?106randomly selected individuals were asked to report the amount of money they spend annually on prescription allergy relief medication. The sample mean was found to be https://secure.aleks.com/alekscgi/x/math2htgif.exe/NM?%2724%2D43with a standard deviation of https://secure.aleks.com/alekscgi/x/math2htgif.exe/NM?%277%2D%3A3. A random sample of https://secure.aleks.com/alekscgi/x/math2htgif.exe/NM?116individuals was selected independently of the first sample. These individuals reported their annual spending on non-prescription allergy relief medication. The mean of the second sample was found to be https://secure.aleks.com/alekscgi/x/math2htgif.exe/NM?%272%3B%2D03with a standard deviation of https://secure.aleks.com/alekscgi/x/math2htgif.exe/NM?%270%2D73. As the sample sizes were quite large, it was assumed that the respective population standard deviations of the spending for prescription and non-prescription allergy relief medication could be estimated as the respective sample standard deviation values given above. Construct a https://secure.aleks.com/alekscgi/x/math2htgif.exe/NM?%3A3%26confidence interval for the difference https://secure.aleks.com/alekscgi/x/math2htgif.exe/NM?%25nv8%3Fpva%3D2%3F%2Cpva%3D%23%2E%23%25nv8%3Fpva%3D1%3F%2Cpva%3Dbetween the mean spending on prescription allergy relief medication (https://secure.aleks.com/alekscgi/x/math2htgif.exe/NM?%25nv%3Fpva%3D2%3F%2Cpva%3D) and the mean spending on non-prescription allergy relief medication (https://secure.aleks.com/alekscgi/x/math2htgif.exe/NM?%25nv%3Fpva%3D1%3F%2Cpva%3D). Then complete the table below
