    Null Hypothesis - A coin-operated drink machine was designed to discharge a mean of 8 ounces of coffee per cup. Suppose that we want to carry out a hypothesis test to see if the true mean discharge differs from 8. State the null hypothesis H0 and the alternative hypothesis H1 that we would use for this test.

    Value of the Test Statistic

    In recent year, of the 109,857 arrest fro federal offenses, 29.1% were for drug offenses. Use a .01 significance level to test the claim that the drug offense rate is equal to 30%. What is the value of the test statistic?

    Hypothesis Testing - Heather Carielli is a former student who earned a master degree at the University of Arkansas. When she randomly selected 16 new text books in the college book store she found that they had prices with a mean of $70.41 and a standard deviation of $19.70. Is there sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of a claim in the college catalog that the mean price of the textbook at the college is less than $75.00? use .05 significance level. Accept or the reject the null?
