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 14 people with the illness, and the second group consisted of 12 people with the illness. The first group received treatment 1 and had a mean time until remission of 172 days with a standard deviation of 8 days. The second group received treatment 2 and had a mean time until remission of 183 days with a standard deviation of 5 days. Assume that the populations of times until remission for each of the two treatments are normally distributed with equal variance. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference u, -H, between the mean number of days before remission after treatment 1 (u,) and the mean number of days before remission after treatment 2 (u). Then find the lower limit and upper limit of the 95% confidence interval. Carry your intermediate computations to at least three…
Suppose the mean height in inches of all 9th grade students at one high school is estimated. The population standard deviation is 3 inches. The heights of 10 randomly selected students are 68, 62, 68, 75, 71, 60, 69, 62, 69 and 70. x¯ = Margin of error at 95% confidence level = 95% confidence interval = [
The breaking strengths of cables produced by a certain manufacturer have historically had a mean of 1775 pounds and a standard deviation of 60 pounds. The company believes that, due to an improvement in the manufacturing process, the mean breaking strength, μ, of the cables is now greater than 1775 pounds. To see if this is the case, 90 newly manufactured cables are randomly chosen and tested, and their mean breaking strength is found to be 1788 pounds. Can we support, at the 0.05level of significance, the claim that the population mean breaking strength of the newly-manufactured cables is greater than 1775 pounds? Assume that the population standard deviation has not changed. Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places, and round your responses as specified below. a. State the null hypothesis H0 and the alternative hyposthesis H1. b. Find the value of the test statistic. c. Find the p-value. d. Can we…
On a measure of running speed on a 100 meter dash, students received timed scores ranging from 12 seconds to 24 seconds. The distribution of running times is normative with a mean of 16 seconds. Transferring this ratio data to standard scores for comparison with the results of classes from other departments, the mean score is assigned a standard score of 100 with a standard deviation of 10. From this example, a standard score of 99 would mean the actual value in seconds for an individual would be about a. 16 b. 12 c. 19 d. 24

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 12 people with the illness, and the second group consisted of 14 people with the illness. The first group received treatment 1 and had a mean time until remission of 166 days with a standard deviation of 8 days. The second group received treatment 2 and had a mean time until remission of 163 days with a standard deviation of 9 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 −μ1μ2 between the mean number of days before remission after treatment 1 ( μ1 ) and the mean number of days before remission after treatment 2 ( μ2 ). Then find the lower limit and upper limit of the 90% confidence interval. Carry your intermediate…
The breaking strengths of cables produced by a certain manufacturer have historically had a mean of 1800 pounds and a standard deviation of 90 pounds. The company believes that, due to an improvement in the manufacturing process, the mean breaking strength, μ, of the cables is now greater than 1800 pounds. To see if this is the case, 100 newly manufactured cables are randomly chosen and tested, and their mean breaking strength is found to be 1818 pounds. Can we support, at the 0.05 level of significance, the claim that the population mean breaking strength of the newly- manufactured cables is greater than 1800 pounds? Assume that the population standard deviation has not changed. Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below.

A sample of 100 postal employees found that the mean time these employees had worked for the postal service was eight years. Assume we know the standard deviation of the population of times postal service employees have spent with the postal service is five years. Find the 98% confidence interval for the mean time the population of postal service employees have spent with the postal service.
It seems these days that college graduates who are employed FT work more than 40-hour weeks. Data are available that can help us decide if this is true. A survey was recently sent to a group of adults selected at random. There were 15 respondents who were college graduates employed FT. The mean number of hours worked per week by these 15 respondents was 44 hours, with a standard deviation of 8 hours. Assume that the population of hours worked per week by college graduates employed FT normally distributed with mean u. Can we conclude that u is greater than 40 hours? Use the 0.1 level of significance. Perform a one-tailed test. Carry intermediate computations to 3 or more decimal places and round answers as specified.
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?
During the busy season, it is important for the shipping manager at ShipMundo to be able to estimate the time it takes the loading crew to load a truck. The shipping manager has found that she can model the load times using a normal distribution with a mean of 152 minutes and a standard deviation of 15 minutes. Use this table or the ALEKS calculator to find the percentage of load times between 116 minutes and 149 minutes according to the model. For your intermediate computations, use four or more decimal places. Give your final answer to two decimal places (for example 98.23%).
