QUESTION 21
1. A production line operation is designed to fill a container with a mean weight of 20 ounces. A quality control inspector selects a random sample of 100 containers to test whether overfilling or underfilling is occurring in the production line because if so, the line should be shut down and adjusted to obtain proper filling. The sample provided an average mean filling weight of 20.13 ounces. From past data, a standard deviation of 2 ounces is assumed for the population of filling weights. Let μ denote the mean filling weight in ounces for this production line.
What is the value of the appropriate test statistic to perform this test?

QUESTION 22
1. Data from the Census Bureau states that the mean age at which women in the United State got married in 2010 is 26. A new sample of 1000 recently wed women provided their age at the time of marriage. We would like to test whether the data from this new sample indicate that the mean age of women at the time of marriage exceeds the mean age in 2010. From past data, a standard deviation of 5 years is assumed for the population of interest. The value of the appropriate test statistic (z) is computed for the sample and it's equal to 0.10.
What is the p-value for this test?

QUESTION 23
1. A production line operation is designed to fill a container with a mean weight of 20 ounces. A quality control inspector selects a random sample of 100 containers to test whether overfilling or underfilling is occurring in the production line because if so, the line should be shut down and adjusted to obtain proper filling. From past data, a standard deviation of 2 ounces is assumed for the population of filling weights. The value of the appropriate test statistic (z) is computed for the sample and it's equal to -1.36.
What is the conclusion of the test using a 0.1 level of significance?
Enter 1 if the overfilling or underfilling is occurring in the production line.
Enter 0 if overfilling or underfilling is NOT occurring in the production line.

You posted way too many questions.
The official rule is one question per post.
Sometimes, if the questions are fairly short, then a few can be squeezed in together (which is useful if they are related questions). Though in my opinion it's better to stick to the official rule.
I'll do question 1 to get you started.

Question:
1.An aerospace company has submitted bids on two separate federal government defense contracts. The company president believes that there is a 57% probability of winning the first contract. If they win the first contract, the probability of winning the second is 67%. However, if they lose the first contract, the president thinks that the probability of winning the second contract decreases to 44%.
What is the probability that they lose both contracts?
Solution:
There's a 57% chance of getting the first contract.
That means there's a 100% - 57% = 43% chance of not winning the first contract.
This converts to the decimal form 0.43
It states that if the first contract is lost, then the probability of winning the second contract is 44%
So there's a 100% - 44% = 56% chance of losing the second contract if the first contract was lost.
This converts to the decimal form 0.56
Multiply those decimal values to get 0.43*0.56 = 0.2408 = 24.08% which is the probability of losing both contracts in a row.
Edit: @ikleyn makes a good point about independent vs dependent events. However, I'm using the idea that P(A and B) = P(A)*P(B given A). So multiplication is still valid here.

of winning the second contract decreases to 44%.
What is the probability that they lose both contracts?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When I read the solution by @math_tutor2020, everything looks good,
but then I read the last line, where he multiplies the individual loosing probabilities,
as if these events are independent - which is not obvious for me.
Therefore, I developed another solution. It produces the same answer,
but, at least, withdraws the question about independency of loosing events.
P(win 1st contract) = P(1) = 0.57 (given).
P(lose 1st contract) = 1 - 0.57 = 0.43 (the complement).
P(win 2nd contract) = P(2) = 0.57*0.67 + (1-0.57)*0.44 = 0.5711.
P(win both 1st and 2nd contracts) = 0.57*0.67 = 0.3819.
P(win at least one of the two contracts) = P(1) + P(2) - P(both) = 0.57 + 0.5711 - 0.3819 = 0.7592.
P(lose both) = 1 - P(win at least one of the two contracts) = 1 - 0.7592 = 0.2408 = 24.08%. ANSWER
Solved.
