7. Suppose that a certain species of tomato plant has been extensively studied. It has been found that the distribution of the diameters of these tomatoes is roughly bell-shaped with light-tails. In order to test whether a new growth hormone produces larger tomatoes, a botanist decides to conduct a hypothesis test. If µ denotes the true mean of tomatoes with the growth hormone and 42 denotes untreated tomatoes, then her hypotheses are Ho : i = 2 vs. HA : H1 > µ2. She randomly samples 6 tomatoes, applies the new growth hormone to 3 of them, and measures the following diameters (in cm).

During the COVID-19 pandemic, drive-up grocery delivery became very popular with customers. Two US retailers that provide this service are Target and Walmart. Many shoppers prefer to order from only one store to save time, but they wonder if they are spending more money shopping at one store rather than both. The data file Snacks has the prices for 20 identical snack items sold at both retailers in Mankato, Minnesota. Assume that µd is the mean difference (Target - Walmart) in the price of the items. Using α = .05, determine whether or not the price of these grocery items differed significantly. Perform your analysis using MegaStat. Download: Snacks a. What type of analysis should you use to analyze this data? Explain the reason for your choice. b. State the hypotheses for this analysis. c. Calculate the degrees of freedom for this analysis. d.

The population of healthy female adults, the mean red blood cell count (RBC) is 4.8 (millions of cells per cubic millimeter of whole blood). A researcher thinks the RBC is underestimated, so she conducts a test of significance using Null Hypothesis: µ ≤ 4.8 vs. Alternative Hypothesis: µ >4.8. If the true mean RBC is 4.75 and the null hypothesis is rejected, out of the four options below, what has occured? Type 1 Error, Type 2 Error, No error, OR can’t tell without knowing the degrees of freedom?
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 15 recent mileages of Citrus cars was taken. The mean of these 15 mileages was 1517 miles per month, and the standard deviation was 201 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 1550 miles per month? Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below.
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 165. Let μ represent the true mean blood cholesterol level for Japanese children. What hypotheses should the researcher test?

In the US, 42.3% of all people have type O blood, 40.8% have type A blood, 12% have type B blood and 4.9% have type AB blood. A researcher wants to see if the distribution of blood type is different for millionaires. The table below shows the results of a random sample of 897 millionaires. What can be concluded at the significant level of a = 0.1. For this study, we should use [x²GOF-Test Your friend Henry helped you with the null and alternative hypotheses...

Bags of a certain brand of tortilla chips claim to have a net weight of 14 oz. Net weights actually vary slightly from bag to bag and are Normally distributed with mean u. A representative of a consumer advocate group wishes to see if there is any evidence that the mean net weight is less than advertised, so he intends to test the hypotheses Ho: μ = 14, Ha: μ < 14. To do this, he selects 16 bags of this brand at random and determines the net weight of each. He finds the sample mean to be x = 13.88 and the sample standard deviation to be s = 0.24. Suppose in a similar test of 16 bags of these tortilla chips the P-value is 0.001. Further suppose that a is chosen to be 0.001. In that case, we would conclude that: Othere is not significant evidence that the mean net weight of the bags of chips is less than the advertised 14 oz. O there is not significant evidence that the mean net weight of the bags of chips is not less than the advertised 14 oz. O there is significant evidence that the…

A survey of the population of 51 students in Psych 311 asks how many credits students are taking and obtains the following normally-distributed results: ∑ X= 686 and ∑X2= 9832.92. Using this information, answer the following three questions. What is the percentile rank of a student who is enrolled in 15 credits? (Hint: This is the same thing as asking “what percentage of students is enrolled in 15 credits or less?”) MUST SHOW WORK FOR THIS PROBLEM What percentage of students are enrolled in between 12 and 18 credits? (MUST SHOW WORK FOR THIS PROBLEM) What is the 25th percentile? (Hint: This is the same as asking what score separates the bottom 25% of the distribution from the top 75%.)

Consider a regression analysis with n= 51 and four potential independent variables. Suppose that one of the independent variables has a correlation of 0.49 with the dependent variable. Does this imply that this independent variable will have a very small Student's t statistic in the regression analysis with all four predictor variables? Choose all that apply. A. The correlation between the independent variable and the dependent variable could result in a very small Student's t statistic as the correlation creates a high variance. B. Correlation between the independent variable and the dependent variable is not necessarily evidence of a small Student's t statistic. C. A high correlation among the independent variables could result in a very small Student's t statistic as the correlation increases the coefficient standard errors. D. Correlation between the independent variable and the dependent variable is evidence of a small Student's t statistic.
The Cadet is a popular model of sport utility vehicle, known for its relatively high resale value. The bivariate data given below were taken from a sample of sixteen Cadets, each bought new two years ago, and each sold used within the past month. For each Cadet in the sample, we have listed both the mileage x (in thousands of miles) that the Cadet had on its odometer at the time it was sold used and the price y (in thousands of dollars) at which the Cadet was sold used. The least-squares regression line for these data has equation Ŷ=42.80-0.53x. This line is shown in the scatter plot below. (The 2nd picture contains the rest of the data as it would not fit in the first pic and it includes the question as well.)
Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome is a rare genetic condition that produces rapid aging in children. In individuals with this syndrome, cardiovascular disease is a common cause of death in the teenage years. A clinical study examined the effect of treatment with the drug lonafarnib on a number of physiological outcomes. The researchers measured the pulse wave velocity (PWV) of 18 children diagnosed with progeria and recruited worldwide. The study reports that the mean PWV of 18 children diagnosed with progeria is 12.44 m/s, and the standard deviation is 3.638 m/s. Assuming that PWV is normally distributed, is there significant evidence that the mean PWV of children with progeria is abnormally high (i.e. greater than 6.6 m/s)? Let � (pronounced as "mu") be the true mean PWV of children with progeria. What are the two competing hypotheses? ["", "", "", ""] What is the test statistic? ["", "", "", ""] What is the p value?
