7.7.1 One measure of the meat quality of pigs is backfat thickness. Suppose two researchers, Jones and Smith, are planning to measure backfat thickness in two groups of pigs raised on different diets. They have decided to use the same number (n) of pigs in each group, and to com- pare the mean backfat thickness using a two-tailed t test at the 5% significance level. Preliminary data indicate that the SD of backfat thickness is about 0.3 cm. When the researchers approach a statistician for help in choosing n, she naturally asks how much difference they want to detect. Jones replies, "If the true difference is 1/4 cm or more, I want to be reasonably sure of rejecting Ho." Smith replies, "If the true difference is 1/2 cm or more, I want to be very sure of rejecting Ho." If the statistician interprets "reasonably sure" as 80% power, and “very sure" as 95% power, what value of n will she recommend (a) to satisfy Jones's requirement? (b) to satisfy Smith's requirement?

8. An analyst is comparing data collected from randomly assigned test sub- jects who used two different types of hand cream (designated I and II), each for a period of six months. The subjects used one type of cream on one hand and the second on the other and reported a "softness" factor on a scale of 1 to 10 for each hand. What steps should the analyst take to determine which cream is more effective? (A) Calculate the mean difference between the right-hand results and the left-hand results, then carry out a one-sample z-test. (B) Calculate the difference in means between the right-hand results and the left-hand results, then carry out a two-sample z-test. (C) Calculate the mean difference between the right-hand results and the left-hand results, then carry out a one-sample t-test. (D) Calculate the difference in means between the right-hand results and the left-hand results, then carry out a two-sample t-test. (E) Calculate the individual differences between the Type I and Type II…

A study was conducted using 50 mobile network users who volunteered to participate in a research as the entry of the third telco player in the country is on its way. One of the variables studied was the data connection speed in the previous month. Based on the data in the following table, is there a significant difference between the connectivity speeds of the two present mobile networks during the previous month? Use a 5% level of significance and assume that the population variances are equal. 1. The alternative hypothesis for the test would be? 2. The alternative hypothesis for the test would be? 3. What is the computed value of the test statistic? 4. What would be your decision?
Acne is a common skin disease that affects most adolescents and can continue into adulthood. A study compared the effectiveness of three acne treatments and a placebo, all in gel form, applied twice daily for 12 weeks. The study's 517 teenage volunteers were randomly assigned to one of the four treatments. Success was assessed as clear or almost clear skin at the end of the 12 week period. The results of the study can be seen in the table below. Using the appropriate statistical test, determine if there is significant evidence that the four treatments perform differently. If so, how do they compare.

A certain producer of chocolate has some problems with the variability of five suppliers of cocoa. Since the cocoa quality is critical to the final chocolate product, the company has decided to perform a DOE to compare these suppliers. According to experiences with customers, the capacity of detection of any variation is 3.5 units. Estimate the sample size needed to get at least a power of 85%, given that the historical variance of the process is 2.5 units.
Q) A doctor wants to try three different techniques to investigate the blood pressure of people diagnosed with high blood pressure. The first group of subjects takes medication, the second group does exercises, and the third group follows a special diet. A month later, the reduction in each person's blood pressure is recorded. At 5% significance level, test the claim that there is no difference among the means. The data are shown. Medication Exercise Diet 10 5 12 8. 9. 9. 3 12 15 8. 13 2 4

The article “Well-Fed Crickets Bowl Maidens Over” (Nature Science Update, February 11, 1999) reported that female field crickets are attracted to males with high chirp rates and hypothesized that chirp rate is related to nutritional status. The usual chirp rate for male field crickets was reported to vary around a mean of 60 chirps per second. To investigate whether the chirp rate was related to nutritional status, investigators fed 22 male crickets a high protein diet for 8 days, after which chirp rate was measured. Let: The parameter μμ be the mean chirp rateof male crickets on a high protein diet for 8 days. Given: The mean chirp rate for the random sample of crickets on the high protein diet was reported to be 65.32 chirps per second with a standard deviation of 12. Research Question: Is there convincing evidence that the mean chirp rate for crickets on a high protein diet implies an advantage in attracting the ladies? It is known that the researchers did not want to…
