statistics:

linear relationship between X and Y using the following hypotheses:

A consumer group conducts a study to compare the average miles per gallon (mpg)
achieved in road tests of two popular car brands.
A random sample of 5 cars from Brand 1 were tested, yielding x1 = 29.5 mpg and s1 = 7.4
mpg.
A random sample of 8 cars from Brand 2 were tested, yielding x2 = 31.6 mpg and s2 = 8.4
mpg.
Assume that the population variances are equal. To test the null hypothesis of no difference
between m1, the true average miles per gallon for Brand 1, and m2, the true average miles
per gallon for Brand 2, which inferential statistical test is most appropriate?
(A) two-sample independent t-test
(B) paired t-test
(C) two-sample proportion z-test

the population variances are equal and the two populations from which the samples
are drawn are normally distributed. To test the null hypothesis of no difference in
average miles per gallon between the two car brands, compute the p-value and
indicate its significance. (at the a = 0.05 level.)

An experiment was performed to determine whether people who go on a
low-fat diet for a month lose weight. The data for the participants in the
experiment are shown in the following table. Assume the population of
differences is normally distributed, and let µ1 − µ2 = µD, where µ1 is the
true mean before weight and µ2 is the true mean after weight. To test
whether these data provide evidence that the low-fat one-month diet is
effective, compute the p-value and indicate its significance.

A health organization asserts that the prevalence of smoking among male adults 18 years or
older in the United States exceeds the prevalence of smoking among female adults 18 years or
older. In a random survey of 1,000 US adults 18 years or older, 129 of the 516 male respondents
identified themselves as smokers, and 87 of the 484 female respondents identified themselves
as smokers. Let p1 be the true proportion of male adults 18 years or older in the United States
who are smokers and p2 be the true proportion of female adults 18 years or older in the United
States who are smokers. To test whether the data from the survey support the health
organization's assertion, compute the p-value for the appropriate hypotheses and indicate its
significance.

A local deli chain advertises that its "heart-healthy" sandwich
contains a mere 10 fat grams. To test the deli chain's claim, a
nutritionist selected a random sample of 4 heart-healthy
sandwiches. The sample yielded x = 11 grams and s = 1.8
grams. Assuming σ is unknown, which inferential statistical
test is most appropriate for this situation?
(A) one-sample t-test
(B) one-sample z-test
(C) one-sample proportion z-test
(D) none of the above

A claim is made that the mean of a certain population is
22. To test the claim at the 5% significance level, a
random sample of size n = 50 was obtained from the
population, yielding x = 25. Assume the standard
deviation σ = 8. Find the p-value for the test of the
hypothesis.

The advertising manager for a radio station wants to test the
hypothesis that the percent of radio listeners in the area who
listen to the manager's radio station is at least 40%. In a
random sample of 100 radio listeners in the area, 34 said
they listen to the manager's station. Compute the p-value,
