A report in USA TODAY stated that the average age of commercial jets in the United States is 14 years. An executive of a large airline company selects a sample of 36 planes and finds the averageage of the planes is 11.8 years. The standard deviation of the sample is 2.7 years. At = 0.01, can it be concluded that the average age of the planes in his Company is less than the national average?

To see if young men ages 8 through 17 years spend more or less than the national average of $24.44 per shopping trip to a local mall, the managersurveyed 33 young men and found the average amount spent per visit was $22.97.The standard deviation of the sample was $3.70. At = 0.02, can it be concluded that the average amount spent at a local mall is not equal to the national average of $24.44.

A study found that the average stopping distance of a school bus traveling 50 miles per hour was 264 feet (Snapshot, USA TODAY, March12, 1992). A group of automotive engineers decided to conduct a study of itsschool buses and found that for 20 buses, the average stopping distance of buses traveling 50 miles per hour was 262.3 feet.The standard deviation of the populationwas 3 feet. Test the claim that the average stopping distance of the company’s buses is actually less than 264 feet. Find the P-value. On the basis of the P-value, should the null hypothesis be rejected at = 0.01? Assume that the variable isnormally distributed.
