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.

An arborist is interested in determining the mean diameter (in centimeters) of mature white oak trees at a certain height above the base. She measures 7 of these trees and finds the following sample statistics: F = 49.09 and s = interval for the mean diameter of a mature white oak tree. 13.80. Construct a 95% confidence
Traffic Highway planners investigated the relationshipbetween traffic Density (number of automobiles per mile)and the average Speed of the traffic on a moderately largecity thoroughfare. The data were collected at the samelocation at 10 different times over a span of 3 months.They found a mean traffic Density of 68.6 cars per mile(cpm) with standard deviation of 27.07 cpm. Overall, the cars’ average Speed was 26.38 mph, with standard devia-tion of 9.68 mph. These researchers found the regression line for these data to be Speed = 50.55 - 0.352 Density.a) What is the value of the correlation coefficientbetween Speed and Density?b) What percent of the variation in average Speed isexplained by traffic Density? c) Predict the average Speed of traffic on the thorough-fare when the traffic Density is 50 cpm. d) What is the value of the residual for a traffic Densityof 56 cpm with an observed Speed of 32.5 mph?e) The data set initially included the point Density =125 cpm, Speed = 55 mph.

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?

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"
