1. You are designing a great experiment for your boss. It has four treatments and an anticipated error variance of 3. Your boss gives you an alternative mean scenario, and you work out that you need 10 units per treatment to achieve 90% power when testing at error rate 0.01. You’re all set to send the instructions off to the technicians when you boss rushes in and confesses, “Oops, 3 was the anticipated error standard deviation, not the variance. The anticipated error variance is 9.” Approximately how many units are you going to need per treatment for the same alternative to achieve 90% power when testing at 0.01. Explain your answer.

What is the normalized z-score for a data point that has a value of 50 if the mean (Mu) is 560 and sigma is 55? This data point is taken from a total of 800 data point values .
For her test grades, Gena has a mean = 65 and standard deviation = 25. Patti has a mean = 65 and standard deviation = 5. For which of the students can you more accurately predict the next test score, and why? Consider the variability of scores. Who is more likely to do either extremely well or extremely poorly on the next exam, and why? Explain the reason for adjusting the formula of the standard deviation/variance with n - 1 in the denominator?
Professor Nord stated that the mean score on the final exam from all the years he has been teaching is a 79%. Colby was in his most recent class, and his class’s mean score on the final exam was 82%. Colby decided to run a hypothesis test to determine if the mean score of his class was significantly greater than the mean score of the population. α = .01. What is the mean score of the population? What is the mean score of the sample? Is this test one-tailed or two-tailed? Why?
4. QUESTION A precision instrument is guaranteed to be accurate within 2 units. A sample of four instrument readings on the same object yielded the measurements 353 351 351 355. 4.1 Construct a 95% confidence interval for the variance of the instrument's precision readings 4.2 It is believed that the variation in the instrument's precision readings is equal to 0.5. From your confidence interval, is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the variance differs from 0.5? Explain your answer
If you look at the differences between the means, once with 10 participants and one mean with 20 participants. (same data set) One mean difference is very large, but non-significant and the other is very small, but came out significant. What could be the reason for this outcome? (My difference in means was with 10 participants: -1.1 and with 20 participants: -5.1)
Consider the scenario ai from the previous question. Suppose you take an SRS of 50 avocados and find that the mean is 1.1 inches, which yields a p-value of 0.0542. What conclusion would you draw at the =0.05 level? At the =0.10level?
There are many situations in which we want to compare means from populations having standard deviations that are equal. This method applies even if the standard deviations are known to be only approximately equal. Consider a report regarding average incidence of fox rabies in two regions. For region I, n1 = 16, x1 ≈ 4.73, and s1 = 2.84 and for region II, n2 = 15, x2 ≈ 3.93, and s2 = 2.45. The two sample standard deviations are sufficiently close that we can assume ?1 = ?2. Use the method of pooled standard deviation to consider the report, testing if there is a difference in population mean average incidence of rabies at the 5% level of significance. (Round your answer to three decimal places.) t =
Imagine that a researcher wants to compare the intelligence levels of Poodles to all dogs. He hypothesizes that Poodles will score differently than other dogs. He uses a standard test of dog intelligence in his study. The population of all dogs has a mean of μ = 100, and an SD of 15. He obtains a random sample of 500 Poodles and he finds that the mean intelligence score of the sample is 117. Is this a one- or two- tailed test? Write the Ho and Ha for this research question. What kind of statistic should be calculated to test the hypothesis? Compute that statistic by hand What should the researcher conclude? Write a blurb describing the results
Suppose Jack and Diane are each attempting to use a simulation to describe the sampling distribution from a population that is skewed right with mean 60 and standard deviation 5. Jack obtains 1000 random samples of size n=5 from the population, finds the mean of the means, and determines the standard deviation of the means. Diane does the same simulation, but obtains 1000 random samples of size n=30 from the population What do you expect the mean of Jack's distribution to be? What do you expect the mean of Diane's distribution to be?
