StatisticsWatching TV: In 2012, the General Social Survey asked a sample of 1314 people how much time they spent watching TV each
day. The mean number of hours was 2.85 with a standard deviation of 2.62. A sociologist claims that people watch a mean of 3
hours of TV per day. Do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean hours of TV watched per day is less than
the claim? Use the a= 0.05 level of significance and the P-value method with the TI-84 Plus calculator.

Basic MathCalibrating a scale: Making sure that the scales used by businesses in the United States are accurate is the responsibility of the
National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) in Washington, D.C. Suppose that NIST technicians are testing a scale by
using a weight known to weigh exactly 1000 grams. The standard deviation for scale reading is known to be a=2.0. They weigh
this weight on the scale 55 times and read the result each time. The 55 scale readings have a sample mean of x = 1000.6 grams.
The scale is out of calibration if the mean scale reading differs from 1000 grams. The technicians want to perform a hypothesis
test to determine whether the scale is out of calibration. Use the a=0.10 level of significance and the P-value method with the
TI-84 calculator.

pounds. Another NHANES survey, published in 2008, reported that a sample of 205 six-year-old girls weighed between 2003 and
2006 had an average weight of 50.2 pounds. Assume the population standard deviation is a = 15.3 pounds. Can you conclude
that the mean weight of six-year-old girls in 2006 is different from what it was in 2002? Use the a = 0.05 level of significance and
