ou can use both the t statistic and the z statistic to test hypotheses about the mean of population. The test that uses the t statistic is typically referred to as a t test, while the test that uses z statistic is commonly called a z test. Which of the following statements are true of the t statistic? Check all that apply. The t statistic does not require any knowledge of the population standard deviation. The t statistic provides an excellent estimate of z, particularly with small sample sizes. The t statistic uses the same formula as the z statistic except that the t statistic uses the estimated standard error in the denominator. The formula for the t statistic is t = (M – μ) / σM
To compare the dry braking distances from 30 to 0 miles per hour for two makes of automobiles, a safety engineer conducts braking tests for 35 models of Make A and 35 models of Make B. The mean braking distance for Make A is 43 feet. Assume the population standard deviation is 4.6 feet. The mean braking distance for Make B is 46 feet. Assume the population standard deviation is 4.5 feet. At α=0.10, can the engineer support the claim that the mean braking distances are different for the two makes of automobiles? Assume the samples are random and independent, and the populations are normally distributed. The critical value(s) is/are Find the standardized test statistic z for μ1−μ2.
A survey found that the average hotel room rate in State I is RM88.22 and the average room in State II is RM80.61. Assume that the data were obtained from two samples of 50 hotels each. The population standard deviations were RM5.62 and RM4.83 respectively. At α = 0.05 , can it be concluded that there is a significant difference in the rates?
Has the number of shoppers who wear masks changed from 2020 to 2021? There are arguments for and against this question. The mean number of masks, u, used by a shopper in Metropolis in 2020 will be compared to the mean number of masks, Hy used by a shopper in Metropolis in 2021. The true values of u, and u, are unknown. It is recognized that the true standard deviations are o, = 19 for the 2020 measurements and o, = 24 for the 2021 measurements. We take a random sample of m = 255 shoppers in 2020 and a random sample of n = 200 shoppers in 2021. The mean number of masks were x= 97 for 2020 and y= 85 for 2021. Assuming independence between the years and assuming masks used by shoppers are normally distributed we would like to estimate x - Hy. What is the standard deviation of the distribution of x? What is the standard deviation of the distribution of x - y? Create a 95% confidence interval for uy - Hy ? ) What is the length of the confidence interval in part c) ? If we let n stay at 200…
The level of dissolved oxygen in a river indicates the water’s ability to support aquatic life. A research project is started to determine if the oxygen levels in the river have changed. A study done 10 years prior, showed that the mean oxygen levels in milligrams per liter for the river was 4.3. A.) Write appropriate hypotheses for this test B.) Water is collected samples from 15 randomly chosen locations along the river and measured the dissolved oxygen. Construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the mean dissolved oxygen level for this stream. The results are in milligrams per liter: 4.53 5.5 4.01 5.04 4.83 4.66 3.29 4.4 2.87 5.23 5.42 5.73 4.13 6.38 5.55 C.) Based on the sample from part B, conduct a significance test of these results using a 5% significance level. Give complete results of the test including a p-value and what the results means.
4) Lasers can provide highly accurate measurements of small movements. To determine the accuracy of such a laser, it was used to take 95 measurements of a known quantity. The sample mean error was 22 μm with a standard deviation of 65 μm. The laser is properly calibrated if the mean error is μ = 0. A test is made of H 0 : μ = 0 versus H 1 : μ ≠ 0. Is the following statement True or False? If the p-value calculated is a very small probability, then it is plausible that the laser is out of calibration.
An IQ test is designed so that the mean is 100 and the standard deviation is 10 for the population of normal adults. Find the sample size necessary to estimate the mean IQ score of statistics students such that it can be said with 99% confidence that the sample mean is within 4 IQ points of the true mean. Assume that σ=10 and determine the required sample size using technology. Then determine if this is a reasonable sample size for a real world calculation.
Suppose 140 geology students measure the mass of an ore sample. Due to human error and limitations in the reliability of the balance, not all the readings are equal. The results are found to closely approximate a normal curve, with mean 85 g and standard deviation 2 g. Use the symmetry of the normal curve and the empirical rule as needed to estimate the number of students reporting readings between 81 g and 89 g. The number of students reporting readings between 81 g and 89 g is (Round to the nearest whole number as needed.)

Identify the null hypothesis, alternative hypothesis, test statistic, P-value, conclusion about the null hypothesis, and final conclusion that addresses the original claim. Various temperature measurements are recorded at different times for a particular city. The mean of 20°C is obtained for 60 temperatures on 60 different days. Assuming that Η = 1.5°C, test the claim that the population mean is 22°C. Use a 0.05 significance level.
Answers: 1. a) χ2 = 4.112, do not reject H0: gender and age of contracting the disease are independent; b) χ2 = 14.03, reject H0: the data do not support the researcher's beliefs; Answer back quickly plz c) χ2 = 2.068, do not reject H0: it appears that this belief is not supported (there is no evidence to suggest that the belief is correct).
