9. You want to know if college students have more stress in their lives than the general population (u=12), so you gather data from 25 people to test your hypothesis. Your sample has an average stress score of X=13.11 and an SD of s=3.89. Use a 1-sample t-test to see if there's a difference. please explain without excel

Employees from Company A and Company B both receive annual bonuses. What information would you need to test the claim that the difference in annual bonuses is greater than $100 at the 0.05 level of significance? Write out the hypothesis and explain the testing procedure.
Floretta, a golfer, claims that her drive distance is not equal to 238 meters, on average. Several of her friends do not believe her, so she decides to do a hypothesis test, at a 5% significance level, to persuade them. She hits 19 drives, collects the proper data, and works through the testing procedure: • Hou = 238; HH #238 • a = 0.05 (significance level) The test statistic is X-Ho Zo == 256-238 14 V19 <= 5.6 • The critical values are -20.025 = -1.96 and 20.025 = 1.96. Conclude whether to reject or not reject Ho. and interpret the results. Select the correct answer below: Reject Ho. At the 5% significance level, the test results are not statistically significant and at best, provide weak evidence against the null hypothesis. Reject Ho. At the 5% significance level, the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean distance is not equal to 238 meters. Do not reject Ho. At the 5% significance level, the test results are not statistically significant and at best, provide…
Over the past several years, the proportion of one-person households has been increasing. The Census Bureau would like to test the hypothesis that the proportion of one-person exceeds 0.27. A random sample of 125 households found that 43 consisted of one person. The census bureau would like to set a = 0.05. Use the p-value approach to test this hypothesis. Explain.
During the 1990s, the fatality rate for lung cancer was 80 per 100,000 people. After the turn of the century and the establishment of newer treatments and adjustment in public health advertising, a random sample of 10,000 people exhibits only six deaths due to lung cancer. Test at the 0.05 significance level whether that data are proof of a reduced fatality rate for lung cancer. b. Make the decision rule. (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) c. Evaluate the test statistic. (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)

You are a medical researcher that wants to determine if your new drug can lower people's blood pressure. You recruit 60 participants with high blood pressure to be part of your study. You randomly assign participants to one of three groups to receive either 10 mg of your drug, 5 mg, or 0 mg (given as a placebo control). After 2 weeks, participants' blood pressure is measured and you compare among the 3 groups. Which statistical test would be best to determine if there is a significant difference in blood pressure among the three groups?

Professor Chase from the University of Kansas has been working on a new cholesterol medication that is being called CholestoCleaner. The university is now conducting studies to determine if there is a possible side effect of sore joints. Placebo (Population Rate) To help determine the usual rate of sore joints, the research team gave a placebo (sugar pill) to 2017 subjects. Of those 2017 subjects, 4 of them developed sore joints. CholestoCleaner Trial The CholestoCleaner drug was given to 2622 subjects. Of those 2622 subjects, 19 of them developed sore joints. Preliminary Math If we consider the general population of people that don't use CholestoCleaner, what is the probability that they will develop sore joints? (Enter your answer as a fraction.) If you had a sample size of 2622 that did NOT use CholestoCleaner, how many would expect to develop sore joints? When 2622 subjects DID use the drug, there were 19 subjects that developed sore joints. Does it seem as though sore joints…
