Answer:
There is not sufficient evidence to support the claim.
Step-by-step explanation:
The claim to be tested is:
The mean respiration rate (in breaths per minute) of students in a large statistics class is less than 32.
To test this claim the hypothesis can be defined as follows:
<em>H₀</em>: The mean respiration rate of students is 32, i.e. <em>μ</em> = 32.
<em>Hₐ</em>: The mean respiration rate of students is less than 32, i.e. <em>μ</em> < 32.
The sample mean respiration rate of students is 31.3.
According to the claim the sample mean is less than 32.
The sample mean value is not unusual if the claim is true, and the sample mean value is also not unusual if the claim is false.
Thus, there is not sufficient evidence to support the claim.

Answer:
3.4
Step-by-step explanation:
Standard deviation of a population is defined as:
σ² = ∑(xᵢ − μ)² / n
The standard deviation of a sample is defined as:
s² = ∑(xᵢ − x)² / (n - 1)
It's not clear which one we have, so let's calculate both.
First, we must find the mean.
μ = (5+12+15+10+12+6+8+8) / 8
μ = 9.5
Now we find the squares of the differences:
(5-9.5)² + (12-9.5)² + (15-9.5)² + (10-9.5)² + (12-9.5)² + (6-9.5)² + (8-9.5)² + (8-9.5)²
= 80
Divide by n:
σ² = 80 / 8
σ² = 10
And take the square root:
σ = √10
σ ≈ 3.2
That's not one of the answers, so let's try the standard deviation of a sample instead of a population.
Instead of dividing by n, we'll divide by n-1:
s² = 80 / 7
And take the square root:
s = √(80/7)
s ≈ 3.4
So that must be it.
