1: 9:31: At Oxnard University, a sample of 25 senior accounting majors showed a mean cumulative GPA of 3.25 with a standard deviation of 0.10. At α = .05 in a two-tailed test, does this differ significantly from 3.20 (the mean GPA for all business school seniors at the university)?

2: 9.54 Faced with rising fax costs, a firm issued a guideline that any transmission of 10 pages or more should be sent by 2-day mail instead. Exceptions are allowed, but they want the average to be 10 or below. The firm examined 81 randomly chosen fax transmissions during the next year, yielding a sample mean of 10.2 with a standard deviation of 1.1 pages. At the .05 level of significance, is the true mean greater than 10? Explain your decision.

3: 9.62 The Web-based company Oh Baby! Gifts have a goal of processing 95 percent of its orders on the same day they are received.
