10. A sample of the various prices for a particular product has been conducted in 16 stores which were selected at random in a neighborhood of a city. The following prices were noted: 95, 108, 97, 112, 99, 106, 105, 100, 99, 98, 104, 110, 107, 111, 103, and 110. Assuming that the prices of this product follow a normal law of variance of 25, determine the confidence interval at 95% for the population mean.

Birth weight at a local hospital for the past year had a normal distribution with a mean of 106 ounces and a variance of 36 ounces2. If the middle 50% of the birth weights are considered to have a normal birth weight then what is the birthweight that defines a high birthweight baby (above normal)?
Manatees are one creature found in coastal waterways. 10 years ago, researchers concluded that the true mean weight of manatees was approximately 1050 lbs. This year, a random sample of 12 manatees were selected, the sample weights are: 956, 1012, 954, 988, 973, 1048, 1075, 1064, 856, 1026, 1031, 1064. Assume the underlying distribution of manatee weights is normal, and population standard deviation o is unknown. Implement a hypothesis test to verify if there is any evidence to suggest the true mean weight decreases now. Solve the hypothesis using P-value method. Let a = 0.05. . Use the given sample data to calculate 90% confidence interval for true mean weight of manatees.

A drug which is used for treating diabetes has potentially dangerous side effects if it is taken in doses which are larger than the required dosage for the treatment. A medical researcher believes that the variance in dosage is different for two tablets made by different production facilities. The sample variance of a sample of 11 dosages of tablet "A" is 0.013 . The sample variance of a sample of 28 dosages of tablet "B" is 0.01 . Construct the 90% confidence interval for the ratio of the population variances. Round your answers to four decimal places.
Judy is a psychology student who participates in three competitions: Swimming, cycling, and running in one event. In the last competition, Judy completed the swimming race in 13 minutes and 20 seconds (800 seconds), cycling in 33 minutes and 52 seconds (2032 seconds), and the running race in 17 minutes and 3 seconds (1023 seconds. Completion times for participants in Swimming are normally distributed with a mean of / = 725 seconds and a standard deviation o - 50 seconds. Completion times for participants in Cycling* are normally distributed with a mean of = 2182 seconds and a standard deviation o= 75 seconds. And completion times for participants in Running are normally distributed with a mean of u = 1083 seconds and a standard deviation o = 60 seconds. In which competition race (swimming, cycling, or running) was Judy's performance better, relative to others on average who took part in that competition? Justify your answer, quoting. relevant statistics as part of your explanation
Gestation period is the length of pregnancy, or to be more precise, the interval between fertilization and birth. In Syrian hamsters, the average gestation period is 16 days. Suppose you have a sample of 31 Syrian hamsters who were exposed to high levels of the hormone progesterone when they were pups, and who have an average gestation length of 17.1 days and a sample variance of 26.0 days. You want to test the hypothesis that Syrian hamsters who were exposed to high levels of the hormone progesterone when they were pups have a different gestation length than all Syrian hamsters. Calculate the t statistic. To do this, you first need to calculate the estimated standard error. The estimated standard error is sMM= a. 31, b. 0.5232, c. 0.7328, d. 0.9158. The t statistic is- a. 1.50, b. 2.10, c. 2.63, d. 1.20 Now suppose you have a larger sample size n = 95. Calculate the estimated standard error and the t statistic for this sample with the same sample average and the same…

A researcher decides to measure anxiety in group of bullies and a group of bystanders using a 23-item, 3 point anxiety scale. Assume scores on the anxiety scales are normally distributed and the variance among the group of bullies and bystanders are the same. A group of 30 bullies scores an average of 21.5 with a sample standard deviation of 10 on the anxiety scale. A group of 27 bystanders scored an average of 25.8 with a sample standard deviation of 8 on the anxiety scale. You do not have any presupposed assumptions whether bullies or bystanders will be more anxious so you formulate the null and alternative hypothesis based on that.
The average house has 13 paintings on its walls. Is the mean different for houses owned by teachers? The data show the results of a survey of 12 teachers who were asked how many paintings they have in their houses. Assume that the distribution of the population is normal. 12, 14, 14, 14, 15, 14, 14, 14, 12, 13, 15, 14 What can be concluded at the αα = 0.01 level of significance? For this study, we should use The null and alternative hypotheses would be: H0:H0: H1:H1: The test statistic = (please show your answer to 3 decimal places.) The p-value = (Please show your answer to 4 decimal places.) The p-value is αα Based on this, we should the null hypothesis. Thus, the final conclusion is that ... The data suggest the population mean is not significantly different from 13 at αα = 0.01, so there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the population mean number of paintings that are in teachers' houses is equal to 13. The data…
The human resources department of a major corporation announced that the number of people interviewed by the corporation in one month has a mean of 101 and a variance, oʻ, of 266. The management of the corporation suspects that the variance exceeds 266. A random sample of 10 months yielded a mean of 105 interviews, with a variance of 378. If we assume that the number of people interviewed by the corporation in one month follows an approximately normal distribution, is there enough evidence to conclude, at the 0.1 level of significance, that the management's claim is correct? Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places and round your answers as specified below.
