An experiment was conducted to study the extrusion process of biodegradable packaging foam. Two of the factors considered for their effect on
the unit density (mg/ml) were the die temperature (145 °C vs. 155 °C) and the die diameter (3 mm vs. 4 mm). The results are stored in [Packaging

The article “Wastewater Treatment Sludge as a Raw Material for the Production of Bacillus thuringiensis Based Biopesticides” (M. Tirado Montiel, R. Tyagi, and J. Valero, Water Research, 2001:3807–3816) presents measurements of total solids, in g/L, for seven sludge specimens. The results (rounded to the nearest gram) are 20, 5, 25, 43, 24, 21, and 32. Assume the distribution of total solids is approximately symmetric. a) Can you conclude that the mean concentration of total solids is greater than 14 g/L? Compute the appropriate test statistic and find the P-value. b) Can you conclude that the mean concentration of total solids is less than 30 g/L? Compute the appropriate test statistic and find the P-value. c) An environmental engineer claims that the mean concentration of total solids is equal to 18 g/L. Can you conclude that the claim is false?

- Coke is a solid fuel made by heating coal in the absence of air so that the volatile components are driven off. For screened coke, the porosity factor is measured by the difference in weight between dry and soaked coke. A certain supply of screened coke from a supplier is claimed to have a porosity factor of 1.8 kilograms. Ten samples of the screened coke obtained from this supplier are tested for porosity factors and the results are as follows : 1.7 , 1.9 , 1.8 , 1.9 , 2.1 , 2.1 , 2.0 , 1.8 , 1.7 , 2.0 .

- Later, when the medical devices are in full production, a consultant advised that the breaking strength of these devices should not be less than 5.5 psi (pounds per square inch) on average. In the latest batch produced, a technician has noticed a visual defect that may affect the breaking strength of the devices. To investigate, a sample of 8 devices are randomly selected from the batch and the pressure at which they break are recorded as : 6.6, 7.7, 8.0, 6.3, 6.1, 6.3, 6.3, 6.1 these are summarized as having an average breaking strength of 6.68 psi and a standard deviation of s = 0.75 psi. Test, at significance level α = 0.05, whether there is evidence that the average breaking strength of the batch of devices is less than the required breaking strength, by testing the hypotheses: H 0: μ = 5.5 psi H a: μ < 5.5 psi.

Data are collected from a sample of 50 steel parts and are shown in the following table. The measurement reported is the difference in inches between the actual length of the steel part, as measured by a laser measurement device, and the specified length of the steel part.
