A researcher is interested in studying the average number of traffic violations received by male vs. female drivers. The researcher has a sample of 30 male drivers and 32 female drivers and conducts a two-sample t-test (two-tailed, alpha = .05). The researcher finds the following: 1. Male drivers have an average of 4 traffic violations every year. 2. Female drivers have an average of 2 traffic violations every year. 3. The standard error of the mean difference between male and female drivers (i.e., the se) is .50. What are the degrees of freedom for this test? Enter your answer as a whole number with no decimal places (i.e., 10, not 10.01, not 10.0, not 10.1).
A psychologist examined the effect of chronic alcohol abuse on memory. In this study, a standardized memory test was used. Scores on this test for the general population from a normal distribution with µ=50 and ϭ=6. A random sample n=22 people diagnosed with alcohol abuse had a mean score of mean is 47. Is there evidence for memory impairment among people diagnosed with alcohol abuse? Use α=0.05 Explain whether you reject or accept the null hypothesis.
Is the proportion of wildfires caused by humans in the south lower than the proportion of wildfires caused by humans in the west? 360 of the 501 randomly selected wildfires looked at in the south were caused by humans while 435 of the 588 randomly selected wildfires looked at the west were caused by humans.

I attempted this problem by using a null hypothesis (mean heat flux is less than or equal to 29), an alternate hypothesis (mean heat flux is less than or equal to 29), and was attempting to use a Z or a T test statistic, however I can't sem to figure out whether the problem is using a sample standard deviation or a population standard deviation (which would help me choose whether to use a Z or T test statistic). Any explanation regarding whether the problem is using a sample standard deviation or a population standard deviation would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Is the proportion of wildfires caused by humans in the south higher than the proportion of wildfires caused by humans in the west? 356 of the 579 randomly selected wildfires looked at in the south were caused by humans while 322 of the 597 randomly selected wildfires looked at the west were caused by humans. What can be concluded at the a = 0.01 level of significance? a. For this study, we should use z-test for the difference between two population proportions b. The null and alternative hypotheses would be: Ho: p1 p2 v (please enter a decimal) H1: p1 V p2 v (Please enter a decimal) c. The test statistic z v = 2.620 (please show your answer to 3 decimal places.) d. The p-value = 0.0213 e. The p-value is >v a f. Based on this, we should reject g. Thus, the final conclusion is that ... (Please show your answer to 4 decimal places.) |the null hypothesis.

The z-statistic for the difference between the tvlo sample proportions is 5.266 with a P- value of 0.00000014. What conclusion could you make about the difference between the two population proportions if the level of significance is set to 0.05? O The difference is not statistically significant because the sample proportion difference of 0.05 is equal to the significance level of 0.05 The difference is statistically significant because the P-value of 0.00000014 is less than the significance level of 0.05. O The difference is statistically significant because the z-statistic of 5.266 is greater than the significance level of 0.05. O The difference is not statistically significant because the significance level of 0.05 is greater than the P-value of 0.00000014.
ou wish to test the following claim (Ha) at a significance level of α=0.005. Ho:μ1=μ2Ha:μ1≠μ2 You believe both populations are normally distributed, but you do not know the standard deviations for either, and you have no reason to believe the variances of the two populations are equal. You obtain a sample of size n1=18 with a mean of M1=81.6 and a standard deviation of SD1=8.2 from the first population. You obtain a sample of size n2=23 with a mean of M2=88.9 and a standard deviation of SD2=5.8 from the second population. What is the p-value for this sample? (Report answer accurate to four decimal places.) p-value =
Suppose that there are two borrowing strategies from a commercial bank as short-term and long-term. We have two small samples (n1=8 and n2=8) and sampled populations are normal. Standard deviation for the first sample is 200 and for the second one is 150. The researcher wants to determine whether the variation in the customers preferring short-term borrowing differs from the variation in the customers preferring long-term borrowing. (Use 0.10 significance level)
In a study of carbohydrate diet, an investigator wishes to test a hypothesis test for whether the population mean of cholesterol level among individuals taking medium carbohydrate diet for 4 months is different than 7.8 mmol/L A simple random sample (SRS) of 30 study participants is conducted. Subjects are randomized to receive medium carbohydrate diet for 4 months. The total cholesterol level at the time of entering the study had an average of 5.20 mmol/L and standard deviation of 1.3 mmol/L Calculate a 95% confidence interval (show your work) for the population mean of total cholesterol levels among those taking medium carbohydrate diet and use the confidence interval to draw a conclusion as to whether there is a difference in cholesterol levels. Choose the correct statement.

We wish to conduct a hypotheses test of the form H0: μ1 - μ2 = 0 vs H0: μ1 - μ2 < 0 Both populations are assumed normal with equal variance. We draw 10 observations for the first sample and 20 observations for the second sample. State the decision rule for the test if the level of significance is 0.05.
To identify the correct Z(critical), it is important to determine whether the hypothesis test is one-tailed or two-tailed. The decision between a one- and two-tailed hypothesis is based on the researcher's expectations about the population from which the sample was selected. Many people believe that millennials are having more sex than people during the sexual revolution. You wonder whether the cohort currently in their twenties had sex at an earlier age than older generations. Assume that the the average age of first sexual intercourse is 17.4 years. You obtain a sample that yields a sample mean of X = 15.9 years. Let u denote the average age of first sexual intercourse. Formulate your null and research hypotheses by selecting the appropriate values in the dropdown menus that follow. Ho: (H₁: The test you conduct is test. Note: A one-tailed test is described as a lower-tailed test if the null hypothesis is rejected for values of the test statistic in the lower tail of its…
