18. Ochsenkühn et al. (A-33) studied birth as a result of in vitro fertilization (IVF) and birth from spontaneous conception. In the sample, there were 163 singleton births resulting from IVF with a mean birth weight of 3071 g and sample standard deviation of 761 g. Among the 321 singleton births resulting from spontaneous conception, the mean birth weight was 3172 g with a standard deviation of 702 g. Determine if these data provide sufficient evidence for us to conclude that the mean birth weight in grams of singleton births resulting from IVF is lower, in general, than the mean birth weight of singleton births resulting from spontaneous conception. Let a =.10.

A new computer chip design(A) is being compared to the current design(B).Fifty independent chips of each design are tested for speed at performing a certain task. The new computer chip (A) performed the task in 481.2 ms, on average, with a sample standard deviation of 14.3 ms. The current computer chip (B) performed the task in 495.6 ms, on average, with a sample standard deviation of 16.4 ms. Can you conclude, at a 5% significance level, that chip A performs this task faster than chip B?
A turkey geneticist wishes to select for breed-ing purposes hens whose eggs have an average weight of 100 grams. Hens with eggs less than or greater than this mean weight are unaccept-able. The mean weight of a sample of 20 eggs from one hen was 97 grams, with a standard deviation of 2.5 grams. Should this hen be kept in the breeding program?
The breaking force of the cables produced by a manufacturer is 1800 lbs (lb) and the standard deviation is 100 lbs. It is claimed that the breaking force can be increased with a new technique in the manufacturing process. To test this claim, a sample of 50 wires is taken and tested. The average breaking force of the samples is found as 1850 lb. Can we support this claim at the 0.01 significance level?
The following data represent the results from an independent-measures experiment comparing three treatment conditions. Use StatCrunch to conduct an analysis of variance with a = 0.05 to determine whether these data are sufficient to conclude that there are significant differences between the treatments.

Researchers interested in determining the relative effectiveness of two different drug treatments on people with a chronic illness established two independent test groups. The first group consisted of 15 people with the illness, and the second group consisted of 11 people with the illness. The first group received treatment 1 and had a mean time until remission of 187 days with a standard deviation of 6 days. The second group received treatment 2 and had a mean time until remission of 162 days with a standard deviation of 8 days. Assume that the populations of times until remission for each of the two treatments are normally distributed with equal variance. Construct a 90% confidence interval for the difference H₁-H₂ between the mean number of days before remission after treatment 1 (H₁) and the mean number of days before remission after treatment 2 (H₂). Then find the lower limit and upper limit of the 90% confidence interval. Carry your intermediate computations to at least three…
A particular IQ test is standardized to a Normal model, with a mean of 80 and a standard deviation of 8. A group of 8,000 people had participated in a study based on IQ. Using the Empirical rule determine about how many of them should have IQ scores more than 72?

Suppose two food preservatives are extensively tested and determined safe for use in meats. A processor wants to compare the preservatives for their effects on retarding spoilage. Suppose 16 cuts of fresh meat are treated with preservative A with mean 95.25 and Sample standard deviation 13.45. And another 12 cuts of meat are treated with preservative B with mean 100.50 and standard deviation 10.55. The number of hours until spoilage begins is recorded for each of the 28 cuts of meat. The value of the test statistic for determining if there is a difference in the population variances for preservatives A and B is equal to: A. 1.129. OB. 1.275. OC. 1.625. OD. 0.784.
The exchange commission recently reported that the average age of a female shareholder is 44. A broker in Vancouver wants to know whether this figure applies to the female shareholders in Vancouver. The broker secures a master list of shareholders in Vancouver and takes a random sample of 58 women. Suppose the average age for shareholders in the sample is 45.1 years, with a population standard deviation of 8.7 years. Test to determine whether the broker sample data from Vancouver differ significantly enough from the exchange commission claim. Use a=0.05 if in fact true age of shareholders is 45 not 44 then what is the brokers probability of committing a type II error l: please find: null Ho null Ha graph tail right left or 2 tailed distribution (Z, t, X^2, or F) left and right critical value: calculated value : conclusion: probability of making type II error:
Suppose an investigator is looking at age at menarche (first period) and its relationship to the onset of breast cancer in women. The investigator conducted a thorough literature review and wanted to test out the hypothesis that women with an earlier menarche are less likely to develop breast cancer. Suppose the investigator conducted a population based study and found that the average age at menarche was 12.3 years with a standard deviation of 1.3 years. Assuming the investigator finds that women in the highest 10% of the distribution have a relative risk of 1.4 for developing breast cancer. What age at menarche correlates to this percentile? (Hint: highest 10% means 90th percentile)
