Citrus Rental is a popular car rental agency that has a history of having too few cars available, so that its available cars are overdriven. The mean monthly mileage over the years for Citrus cars has been about 1500 miles per month. Recently, though, Citrus purchased thousands of new cars, and the company claims that the average mileage of its cars is now less than in the past. To test this, a random sample of 11 recent mileages of Citrus cars was taken. The mean of these 11 mileages was 1332 miles per month, and the standard deviation was 232 miles per month. Assume that the population of recent monthly mileages of Citrus cars is normally distributed. At the 0.05 level of significance, can it be concluded that the mean recent monthly mileage, u, of Citrus cars is less than 1500 miles per month? 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 in the table. (If necessary,…
What is the odds ratio for a study with a logistic regression coefficient -0.2524?
You are conducting a study to see if the probability of a true negative on a test for a certain cancer is significantly different from 0.7. Thus you are performing a two-tailed test. Your sample data produce the test statistic 2 = - 1.361. Find the p-value accurate to 4 decimal places. p-value =
Citrus Rental is a popular car rental agency that has a history of having too few cars available, so that its available cars are overdriven. The mean monthly mileage over the years for Citrus cars has been about 1550 miles per month. Recently, though, Citrus purchased thousands of new cars, and the company claims that the average mileage of its cars is now less than in the past. To test this, a random sample of 13 recent mileages of Citrus cars was taken. The mean of these 13 mileages was 1425 miles per month, and the standard deviation was 209 miles per month. Assume that the population of recent monthly mileages of Citrus cars is normally distributed. At the 0.10 level of significance, can it be concluded that the mean recent monthly mileage, μ, of Citrus cars is less than 1550 miles per month? 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 in the table. (If necessary,…
Consider the scenario ai from the previous question. Suppose you take an SRS of 50 avocados and find that the mean is 1.1 inches, which yields a p-value of 0.0542. What conclusion would you draw at the =0.05 level? At the =0.10level?
If the z-value for a given x of a random variable Z is z =1.06, and the distribution of X is normal with a mean of 60 and a standard deviation of 6, to what x-value does this z-value correspond?
Citrus Rental is a popular car rental agency that has a history of having too few cars available, so that its available cars are overdriven. The mean monthly mileage over the years for Citrus cars has been about 1600 miles per month. Recently, though, Citrus purchased thousands of new cars, and the company claims that the average mileage of its cars is now less than in the past. To test this, a random sample of 16 recent mileages of Citrus cars was taken. The mean of these 16 mileages was 1517 miles per month, and the standard deviation was 233 miles per month. Assume that the population of recent monthly mileages of Citrus cars is normally distributed. At the 0.05 level of significance, can it be concluded that the mean recent monthly mileage, μ, of Citrus cars is less than 1600 miles per month? Perform a one-tailed test.

A team of researchers found that age distributions in a population of 100,000 people was not Normal. However, after they took a large number of simple random samples, each with (N=100), they observed that the sampling distribution of mean tended toward Normality. Really? Why is it possible?
Dr. Sylvester Stallone is a circadian rhythms researcher and believes sleep affects memory. Having collected data on a large number of subjects who are getting the recommended amount of sleep, he knows the mean digit span of this population is 5.6 digits. To test his hypothesis, he measures the digit span of 15 volunteers randomly selected from the population, after depriving them of one night’s sleep. The results show a mean (X bar) of 4.1 and a standard deviation of (s) 1.4. a. What does Dr. Stallone conclude, using and alpha of 0.05 (two tailed)? b. If appropriate, calculate the size of effect and provide an interpretation of the value?
A clinical trial is planned to compare an experi- mental medication designed to lower blood pressure to a placebo. Before starting the trial, a pilot study is conducted involving 7 participants. The objective of the study is to assess how systolic blood pressure changes over time untreated. Systolic blood pres- sures are measured at baseline and again 4 weeks later. Is there a statistically significant difference in blood pressures over time? Run the test at a 5% level of significance. Baseline: 120 145 130 160 152 143 126 4 Weeks: 122 142 135 158 155 140 130
A psychologist has developed a new test to measure depression. Using a very large group of "normal" individuals, the mean score on this test is found to be p=55 and a population standard of o=12. The scores form a normal distribution. A researcher would like to use this test to evaluate a theory predicting that increased depression is a common part of the aging process. To test the theory, a sample of n=36 elderly people is obtained. The depression test is administered to each person, and the mean score for the sample is 59. Testing the hypothesis using a one-tailed test at 0.05 level of significance, do these data support the theory? You can answer "Yes" or "No". Do the 4-step process to determine the answer. Answer:
