2) In a controlled laboratory environment, a random sample of 10 adults and a random sample of 10 children were tested by a psychologist to determine the room temperature that each person finds most comfortable. The data are summarized below: Sample Mean 77.5° F Sample Variance Adults (1) Children (2) 4.5 74.5°F 2.5 Suppose that the psychologist decides to construct a 99% confidence interval for the difference in mean comfortable room temperatures instead of proceeding with a test of hypothesis. The 99% confidence interval tums out to be (-2.9, 3.1). Select the correct statement. A) It can be concluded at the 99% confidence level that the true mean comfortable room temperature for children exceeds that for adults. B) It can be concluded at the 99% confidence level that the true mean comfortable room temperature is between -2.9 and 3.1. C) It can be concluded at the 99% confidence level that the true mean room temperature for adults exceeds that for children. D) It cannot be concluded at the 99% confidence level that there is actually a difference between the true mean comfortable room temperatures for the two groups.

Two brands of batteries are tested, and their voltages are compared. The summary statistics follow. For sample 1, the sample size is 27; the population standard deviation is 0.3 volts and the mean is 9.2 volts. For sample 2, the sample size is 30; the population standard deviation is 0.1 volts and the mean is 8.8 volts. Is the mean of sample 1 smaller than the mean of sample 2? Using a significance level of 0.05. a) Identify the claim and state the hypotheses. b) What is the test statistics? Find the critical values (s). c) Make the decision to reject or not reject the null hypothesis and explain why. d) Graph your decision and include all the values. That is, the mean, the standard deviation, the critical value(s), the rejection region. e) Set up the formula with the correct numbers for the 95% confidence interval of the mean number of jobs.
The coach of a very popular men’s basketball team claims that the average distance the fans travel to the campus to watch a game is 35 miles. The team members feel otherwise. A sample of 16 fans who travel to games was randomly selected and yielded a mean of M= 36 miles and s= 5 miles. Test the coach’s claim at the 5% (.05) level of significance. one-tailed or two-tailed test: State the hypotheses: df= tα or t value for the critical region = sM = t (test statistic)= Decision:
You were told that the mean daily cost of a hotel room in downtown St. Louis is $120. You will be needing to rent a hotel room there in the near future and you want to find the best rate. You randomly select a sample of 18 hotel rooms and find that the average cost is $121.33 with a standard deviation of $18.046. At the α = 0.05 significance level, determine if there is enough evidence to reject the claim. What is the decision for this hypothesis test?

A study is conducted to compare the performance of students with more than one personal electronic gadget and those with only one. A number of them were taken as subjects for the study. The mean grades of these students and the standard deviations are shown below: For one gadget: The mean is 83, standard deviation is 12, and sample size is 7. For more than one gadget: The mean is 79, standard deviation is 13, and sample size is 5. Is it possible to conclude that there is no significant difference in the mean grades of the two types of students at a 95% confidence interval? Note: This is a two-tailed test. Also take note that this is finding the difference between two population means.
Fear of heights - A psychologist has developed a new treatment for acrophobia (the extreme fear of heights) and wants to compare the results of this new treatment to the results of the standard treatment. A study is conducted where a random sample of 16 patients undergo the new treatment and their improvement scores on a diagnostic test are compared to a control sample of 13 patients who received the standard treatment. Summary scores for both groups are shown in the table below. Treatment Sample Mean Sample Standard Deviation New 50.9 12 Standard 47.2 11.4 The degrees of freedom for this problem is d f 26.287709. 1.

Choose the appropriate statistical test. When computing, be sure to round each answer as indicated. A dentist wonders if depression affects ratings of tooth pain. In the general population, using a scale of 1-10 with higher values indicating more pain, the average pain rating for patients with toothaches is 6.8. A sample of 30 patients that show high levels of depression have an average pain rating of 7.1 (variance 0.8). What should the dentist determine? 1. Calculate the estimated standard error. (round to 3 decimals). [st.error] 2. What is thet-obtained? (round to 3 decimals). 3. What is the t-cv? (exact value) 4. What is your conclusion? Only type "Reject" or Retain"
