3. A researcher wishes to determine whether the salaries of professional nurses as front liners employed by private hospitals are higher than those of nurses employed by government-owned hospitals. She selects a sample of nurses from each type of hospital and calculate the mean and standard deviations of their salaries. At ¤ = 0.01 Can you conclude that private hospitals pay more than the government hospitals? Private Government-owned I = P26,800 x = P25,400 s=P600 s=P450 n = 10 n= 8 Perform the 5 - steps in hypothesis testing.

A professor believes that, for the introductory art history classes at his university, the mean test score of students in the evening classes is lower than the mean test score of students in the morning classes. He collects data from a random sample of 250 students in evening classes and finds that they have a mean test score of 76.8. He knows the population standard deviation for the evening classes to be 7.2 points. A random sample of 200 students from morning classes results in a mean test score of 77.8. He knows the population standard deviation for the morning classes to be 1.9 points. Test his claim with a 90% level of confidence. Let students in the evening classes be Population 1 and let students in the morning classes be Population 2. Step 1 of 3 : State the null and alternative hypotheses for the test. Fill in the blank below. H0: μ1=μ2 Ha: μ1__μ2
6. A kinesiologist wanted to examine the effects of temperature and humidity on exercise performance. Each participant was asked to walk on a treadmill at a normal pace for 60 minutes, and the kinesiologist recorded the distance walked (miles). She assigned participants to one of 4 conditions that varied in temperature (normal or high) and humidity (normal or high). Mean distance walked by the four groups are shown in the table below. Assume a = .05 and Tukey HSD = 0.39. Normal temperature High temperature Normal humidity M = 3.00 M = 2.80 High humidity M = 2.80 M = 2.00 Complete the following conclusion: The factorial ANOVA revealed significant main effects of temperature [F (1, 24) = 25.00, p<.05] and humidity [F (1, 24) = 19.65, p<.05] and a significant Temperature x Humidity interaction [F (1, 24) = 9.25, p < .05].
Water specimens are taken from water used for cooling as it is being discharged from a power plant into a river. It has been determined that as long as the mean temperature of the discharge is at most 150F, there will be no negative effects on the river's ecosystem. To investigage whether the plant is in compliance with regulations that prohibit a mean discharge water temperature above 150F, researchers will take 50 specimens at randomly selected times and record the temperature of each specimen. The resulting data will be used to test the hypotheses:H0:μ≤150FH0:μ≤150F Ha:μ>150FHa:μ>150F.(a) In the context of this problem, describe Type I and Type II errors.Type I Error:Select an answer A Type I error is not obtaining convincing evidence that the mean water temperature is greater than 150F when in fact it is greater than 150F.

A researcher speculates that because of differences in diet, Japanese children have a lower mean blood cholesterol level than U.S. children do. Suppose that the mean level for U.S. children is known to be 175. Let ? represent the true mean blood cholesterol level for Japanese children. What hypotheses should the researcher test?

In Professor Krugman’s economics course, the correlation between the students’ total scores prior to the final examination and their final‑examination scores is ?=0.5.r=0.5. The pre‑exam totals for all students in the course have mean 280280 and standard deviation 40.40. The final‑exam scores have mean 7575 and standard deviation 8.8. Professor Krugman has lost Julie’s ﬁnal exam but knows that her total before the exam was 300.300. He decides to predict her ﬁnal‑exam score from her pre‑exam total. (a) Which of the choices is the least‑squares regression line of ﬁnal‑exam scores on pre‑exam total scores in this course?
2. (MMC 6.43). The Survey of Study Habits and Attitudes (SSHA) is a psychological test that measures the motivation, attitude toward school, and study habits of students. Each score ranges from 0 to 200. The mean attitude score for U.S. college students is about 110, and the standard deviation is about 25. A teacher who suspects that older students have better attitudes toward school gives the SSHA to 25 students who are at least 30 years of age. Their mean score is = 118.3. a. Assuming that o = 25 for the population of older students, carry out a test of Họ: H = Ha:u > 110 Report the P-value of your test and state your conclusion clearly. = 110 b. What are the required assumptions in part (a)?
On an intelligence test, the mean number of raw items correct is 236 and the standard deviation is 39. What are the raw (actual) scores on the test for people with IQs of (a) 119, (b) 81, and (c)100? To do this problem, first figure the Z score for the particular IQ score; then use that Z score to find the raw score. Note that IQ scores have a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15. (a) What is the raw (actual) score on the test for people with an IQ of 119?
Two chemical companies can supply a raw material. The concentration of a particular element in this material is important. The mean concentration for both suppliers is the same, but you suspect that the variability in concentration may differ for the two companies. The standard deviation of concentration in a random sample of n₁ = 10 batches produced by company 1 is s₁ = 4.7 grams per liter, and for company 2, a random sample of n₂ = 16 batches yield s₂ = 5.8 grams per liter. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the two populations variances differ? Use a = 0.05. a. Because 0.321 < 0.657 <3.77, fail to reject the null hypothesis b. Because 0.265 < 0.657 <3.12, fail to reject the null hypothesis c. Because 0.386 < 0.657 <3.01, fail to reject the null hypothesis d. None among the choices
