A physician wants to see if there was a difference in the average smokers' daily cigarette
consumption after wearing a nicotine patch. The physician set up a study to track daily smoking
consumption. In the study, the patients were given a placebo patch that did not contain nicotine for
4 weeks, then a nicotine patch for the following 4 weeks. Test to see if there was a difference in the
average smoker's daily cigarette consumption using α = 0.01. The hypotheses are:

A math teacher tells her students that eating a healthy breakfast on a test day will help their brain
function and perform well on their test. During finals week, she randomly samples 45 students and
asks them at the door what they ate for breakfast. She categorizes 25 students into Group 1 as those
who ate a healthy breakfast that morning and 20 students into Group 2 as those who did not. After
grading the final, she finds that 48% of the students in Group 1 earned an 80% or higher on the test,
and 40% of the students in Group 2 earned an 80% or higher. Can it be concluded that eating a
healthy breakfast improves test scores? Use a 0.05 level of significance.

Two competing toothpaste brands both claim to produce the best toothpaste for whitening. A dentist
randomly samples 48 patients that use Brand A (Group 1) and finds 30 of them are satisfied with the
whitening results of the toothpaste. She then randomly samples 45 patients that use Brand B (Group

Group 1 receives the new medicine and Group 2 receives a placebo. After a few days on the
medicine, each group is interviewed and asked how they would rate their comfort level 1-10 (1
being the most uncomfortable and 10 being no discomfort at all). The results are below. Find the
90% confidence interval in the difference of the mean comfort level. Is there sufficient evidence to
conclude that the new medicine is effective? Assume the data is normally distributed with unequal

A professor wants to know whether or not there is a difference in comprehension of a lab
assignment among students depending on if the instructions are given all in text, or if they are given
primarily with visual illustrations. She randomly divides her class into two groups of 15, gives one
group instructions in text and the second group instructions with visual illustrations. The following
data summarizes the scores the students received on a test given after the lab. Let the populations be
normally distributed with a population standard deviation of 5.32 points for both the text and visual
illustrations.
LL = (5.84 - 3.96) - 2.010635 * UL = (5.84 - 3.96) + 2.010635 * The standard deviations for both populations must be known.
The standard deviations should come from each sample.

Question 16

Researchers conducted a study to measure the effectiveness of the drug Adderall on patients
diagnosed with ADHD. A total of 112 patients with ADHD were randomly split into two groups.
Group 1 included 57 patients and they were each given a dose of 15 mg. of Adderall daily. Group 2
was given a daily placebo. The effectiveness of the drug was measured by testing the patients before
and after and observing the mean improvement in score among the patients.
Group 1 was found to have a mean improvement of 11.93 points and Group 2 had a mean
improvement of 9.27 points. From past studies, the population standard deviation of both groups is
known to be 6.55 points. Is there evidence to suggest the patients taking Adderall had a higher mean
improvement? Test at the 0.01 level of significance.

A 2011 survey, by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, reported that 91% of
Americans have paid leave. In January 2012, a random survey of 1000
workers showed that 89% had paid leave.
The resulting p-value is .0271; thus, the null hypothesis is rejected. It is
concluded that there has been a decrease in the proportion of people, who
have paid leave from 2011 to January 2012.

work more on average than working adults in the US. She asks 15 engineering friends at start-ups
for the lengths in hours of their workweek. Their responses are shown in the table below. Test the
claim using a 1% level of significance.
See Excel for Data.
