19. The weights of cats are normally distributed with a known standard deviation of 2 lb. If we take a sample of 64 cats and
get a sample mean weight of x = 12.4 lb, what is a 95% confidence interval for the mean weight of cats in this population -
rounding to the nearest tenth?
a. 12.4 ± 0.5 b. 12.4 ± 0.4 c. 12.4 ± 0.3 d. 12.4 ± 0.1 e. none of these
20. A biologist is studying a new hybrid tomato. It is known that the seeds have a probability of 0.8 of germinating. The
biologist plants 400 seeds. What is the expected number of seeds that will germinate? (Assume a binomial distribution.)
a. 200 b. 240 c. 320 d. 480 e. none of these
21 - 25. A company claims that their chocolate chip cookies contain an average of 15 chips per cookie. A study of
100 cookies is done, and the average chip count of the sample is 14.78 with a standard deviation of 1.2.
21. What is the null hypothesis?
a. Ho: m § 15 b. Ho: m = 15 c. Ho: m ¥ 15
22. What kind of critical region is involved in this situation?
a. left-tailed b. right-tailed c. two-tailed
23. What is the standardized test statistic in this hypothesis test?
a. -1.65 b. -1.83 c. -1.96 d. -2.14 e. none of these
24. What is the p-value of this test statistic?
a. 0.0437 b. 0.0672 c. 0.0289 d. 0.0185 e. none of these
25. Based on a significance level of a = 0.05, what would the con
