1. Assume a significant level of Q = 0.05 and use the given information for the following:
a. State a conclusion about the null hypothesis.(Reject Ho or fail to reject Ho.)
b. Without using technical terms, state a final conclusion that addresses the original claim.
Original Claim: Women have heights with a standard deviation equal to 5.00 cm. The hypothesis test results in a P-valve of 0.0055.
2. Identify the indicated values or interpret the given display. Use the normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial distribution. Assume a .05 significance level and answer the following:
Guns in the home: In a Gallup poll of 1003 randomly selected subjects, 373 said that they have a gun in their home. The accompanying Minitab display shows results from a test of the claim that 35% of homes have guns in them.
Test of p= .35 vs Test p not = .35
Sample p= .371884
95% CI= (.341974,.401795)
Z value =1.45, P value=.146
3. For Questions 3 and 4, Assume that a simple random sample has been selected and test the given claim. Use the p value method or the critical value method for testing hypothesis. Identify the null and alternate hypothesis, test statistic, P value, critical values, and state the final conclusion that addresses the original claim.
Age of Race Car Drivers. Listed below are the ages of randomly selected race car drivers. Use a .05 significant level to test the claim that the mean age of all race car drivers is greater than 30 years.

4. Insomnia Treatment. A clinical trial was conducted to test the effectiveness of the drug Zopiclone for treating insomnia in older subjects. Before treatment 16 subjects had a mean wake time of 102.8 min. After treatment with Zopiclone, the subjects had a mean wake time of 98.9 min and a standard deviation of 42.3 min. Assume that the 16 sample values appear to be from a normally distributed population, and test the claim that after treatment with Zopiclone, subjects have a mean wake time less that 102.8 min. Does Zopiclone appear to be effective?
