Get started for free"Blowing Bubbles," by Sondra Prull
Studying stats just made me tense,
I had to find some sane defense.
Some light and lifting simple play
To float my math anxiety away.
Blowing bubbles lifts me high
Takes my troubles to the sky.
POIK! They're gone, with all my stress
Bubble therapy is the best.
The label said each time I blew
The average number of bubbles would be at least .
I blew and blew and this I found
Fromblows, they all are round!
But the number of bubbles inblows
Varied widely, this I know.
per blow became the mean
They deviated by , and not.
From counting bubbles, I sure did relax
But now I give to you your task.
Wasa reasonable guess?

In , Life Magazine reported that the year-old mother of three worked, on average, an hour week. Recently,
many groups have been studying whether or not the women's movement has, in fact, resulted in an increase in the average
work week for women (combining employment and at-home work). Suppose a study was done to determine if the mean
work week has increased. women were surveyed with the following results. The sample mean wasthe sample
standard deviation was ten. Does it appear that the mean work week has increased for women at the role="math" localid="1650381098713" level?
The US Department of Energy reported that of homes were heated by natural gas. A random sample of homes in Kentucky found that were heated by natural gas. Does the evidence support the claim for Kentucky at the level in Kentucky? Are the results applicable across the country? Why?
"Red tide" is a bloom of poison-producing algae-a few different species of a class of plankton called dinoflagellates. When the weather and water conditions cause these blooms, shellfish such as clams living in the area develop dangerous levels of a paralysis-inducing toxin. In Massachusetts, the Division of Marine Fisheries (DMF) monitors levels of the toxin in shellfish by regular sampling of shellfish along the coastline. If the mean level of toxin in clams exceeds (micrograms) of toxin per kg of clam meat in any area, clam harvesting is banned there until the bloom is over and levels of toxin in clams subside. Describe both a Type and a Type error in this context, and state which error has the greater consequence.
Registered nurses earned an average annual salary of \(69,110. For that same year, a survey was conducted of 41 California registered nurses to determine if the annual salary is higher than \)69,110 for California nurses. The sample average was \(71,121 with a sample standard deviation of \)7,489. Conduct a hypothesis test.
