A Hot Fudge Sundae has on average 12 ounces of ice cream. If I were to set up a hypothesis test to test the ability of a new employee making the hot fudge sundae with an average of 12 ounces of ice cream, would the hypothesis test be a "one tailed" or a "two tailed" test? Briefly Explain.
A flour manufacturer packs flour into paper bags, each of which is supposed to hold 10 pounds, or 160 ounces. Some customers have complained that the bags hold only 9.5 pounds, or 152 ounces. A test is conducted to determine whether the complaint is warranted. The weight of each bag is normally distributed with a Population Stan

The Boston Weather Services (BWS) says that the mean high temperature for October in a city is 56E F. You believe that it is lower. A sample of 31 mean October temperatures yields mean 54.0E F and standard deviation 5.6 E F. Test the BWS claim at V = 0.01.

I need to present and briefly justify four hypotheses involving relation between pairs of variables, using the same variable as dependent. The variables I would like to use are: Immigr (DV) Income, education, and age (IV) Can you help me with this problem? Thank you,
Formulate two distinct hypotheses concerning relations between variables. Cross tabulate the two pairs of variables corresponding to each hypotheses.
A candy company claims that 92% of consumers like their candies. To test this claim, 9571 people are selected at random from those who have eaten the company's candies. 791 rate the candies as unsatisfactory. Is this an unusual result (show criterion for determining the answer to this question)? Also, how do you interpret your s
