7. On paper. A precision instrument is guaranteed to read accurately to within 2 units. A sample of four instrument readings on the same object yielded the measurements 353, 351, 351, and 355. 1. Test the null hypothesis that σ = 0.7 against the alternative σ > 0.7. Use α = 0.05. 2. Find a 90% confidence interval for the population variance.

4. The resilient moduli of 10 samples of a clay mixture are measured and the sample mean is x = 19.50. If an experimenter wishes to use a "known" value o = 1.0 for the standard deviation of the resilient modulus measurements based upon prior experience, construct appropriate 90%, 95%, and 99% two-sided confidence intervals for the average resilient modulus µ. Compare the lengths of the confidence intervals. Do you think it is plausible that the average resilient modulus is equal to 20.0?

E. Non-parametric statistics does not use the values of μμ or σσ . True False F. When data points are widely spaced around the regression line, the coefficient of correlation is close to 1. True False G. If the value of the y intercept of the regression line is positive, then the coefficient of correlation could be negative. True False H. ANOVA can tell which mean is different. True False I. If a confidence interval for the difference of 2 proportions is found and the interval contains 0, it suggests the proportions are the same. True False
12. Two independent samples are taken from two populations. Sample 1 has a mean of 12.8, a standard deviation of 2.3, and a sample size of 18. Sample 2 has a mean of 14.2, a standard deviation of 5.2, and a sample size of 23. This gives a standard error se(Ã1 — Ă2) = 1.212. A 95% confidence interval for the difference between the two means is: (A) (-2.00, -0.80). (B) (11.66, 13.94). (C) (-3.96, 1.16). (D) (-3.85, 1.05). (E) (-3.78, 0.98).
