A 2013 study was conducted to determine the energy requirements in non-obese men and women for the purpose of maintaining their current weight. The overall average total daily energy expenditure was 2,443 kcal/d. Assuming this variable follows a normal distribution with standard deviation of 397 kcal/d, conduct a test of significance to determine if this differs from a more recent study in which 95 randomly selected men and women (who claimed to have maintained their weight and body composition for a year) were measured. The sample mean is found to be 2,342 kcal/d. Use 5% level of significance.

In a study entitled How Undergraduate Students Use Credit Cards, Sallie Mae reported that undergraduate students have a mean credit card balance of $3,173. This figure was an all-time high and had increased 44% over the previous five years. Assume that a current study is being conducted to determine whether it can be concluded that the mean credit card balance for undergraduate students has continued to increase compared to the April 2009 report. Based on previous studies, use a population standard deviation σ = $1,000.For a sample of 180 undergraduate students with a sample mean credit card balance of $3,325, using a 0.05 level of significance, what is your conclusion?
In a study investigating the effect of car speed on accident severity, 5,000 reports of fatal automobile accidents were examined, and the vehicle speed at impact was recorded for each one. For these 5,000 accidents, the average speed was 42 mph and the standard deviation was 12 mph. A histogram revealed that the vehicle speed at impact distribution was approximately normal. (Use the Empirical Rule.) (a) Approximately what percentage of vehicle speeds were between 30 and 54 mph? approximately % (b) Approximately what percentage of vehicle speeds exceeded 54 mph? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) approximately %
The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) is a nationwide assessment of students' proficiency in nine subjects: mathematics, reading, writing, science, the arts, civics, economics, geography, and U.S. history. The main NAEP assessments are conducted annually on samples of students from grades 4, 8, and 12. Suppose in 2000, the science scores for female students had a mean of 146 with a standard deviation of 35. Assume that these scores are normally distributed with the given mean and standard deviation. The normal curve representing this distribution of the scores is symmetrical about a vertical line through . The value 41 is below the mean, and the value 251 is above the mean. The area under the curve between 41 and 251 is approximately . Similarly, 95.44% of the female students scored between and .
Consider the following measurements of blood hemoglobin concentrations (in g/dL) from three human populations at different geographic locations: population1 = [ 14.7 , 15.22, 15.28, 16.58, 15.10 ] population2 = [ 15.66, 15.91, 14.41, 14.73, 15.09] population3 = [ 17.12, 16.42, 16.43, 17.33] Perform ANOVA to check if any of these populations have different mean hemoglobin concentrations. (Assume that all the ANOVA requirements such as normality, equal variances and random samples are met.) After you perform ANOVA perform a Tukey-Kramer post-hoc test at a significance level of 0.05 to see which populations actually have different means. As usual, round all answers to two digits after the decimal point. (Make sure you round off to at least three digits any intermediate results in order to obtain the required precision of the final answers.) For any questions, which ask about differences in means or test statistics, which depend on differences in means provide absolute values. In…
Dr. Graham is interested in determining if middle-aged adults use text messaging more or less frequently than the general population. Dr. Graham collects information on text messaging from a random sample of 50 adults ages 25 to 44. Dr. Graham finds that these individuals send or receive an average of 68 text messages per day. Using the population mean (and standard deviation) of 41.5 texts per day (34 texts per day), determine whether adults in this age group use text messaging more than the general public.
Prices of basic commodities are often greatly affected by typhoons. During the aftermath of recent typhoon, the prices of tilapia were reported to have been sold at ₱20 – ₱25 more per kilogram at local wet markets. However, the price was back to its normal mean price at ₱100 per kilo one week after. If a random sample of 10 tilapia sales transactions from local wet markets have prices (in pesos per kilo) of 107, 115, 130, 95, 100, 105, 98, 116, 104, 100. Assuming that the tilapia prices are normally distributed, is there sufficient evidence to say that the mean price of tilapia in these markets is greater than ₱100? Use a 0.05 level of significance. State the null and alternative hypotheses: Ho: ________ (symbols) Ho: _______________________________ (statement) Ha: _________ (symbols) Ha: _______________________________ (statement)
A study was conducted for an aviation safety agency in which they surveyed thousands of passengers at airports across Europe. In this study, the "mass" for a passenger includes the weight of the passenger and all of the passenger's carry-on items, including infants without their own seats. For the 5,904 adult male passengers measured in summer, the sample mean and standard deviation for this mass were 88.8 kg and 15.9 kg, respectively. (a) Construct a 95% confidence interval (in kilograms) for the population mean mass for adult male passengers in summer. (Round your answers to three decimal places.) ___to__ kg (b) Write a sentence or two interpreting the confidence interval you found in part (a). With 95% confidence, we can estimate that the population mean mass of male passengers traveling in the summer is contained within the interval. We can estimate that 95% of the male passengers traveling in the summer in the sample have a mass that is contained within the interval.…
A study is done to determine if students in the California state university (CSU) system take longer to graduate, on average, than students enrolled in private universities using the significant level of 5%. One hundred students from both the California state university system and private universities are surveyed. Suppose that from years of research, it is known that the population standard deviations are 1.5811 years for CSU and 1 year for private universities. The following data are collected. The California state university system students took on average 4.5 years with a standard deviation of 0.8. The private university students took on average 4.1 years with a standard deviation of 0.3. What is the decision rule of rejecting the null hypothesis
A researcher was interested in comparing the resting pulse rate of people who exercise regularly and people who do not exercise regularly. Independent random samples of 16 people aged 30-40 who do not exercise regularly (sample 1) and 12 people aged 30-40 who do exercise regularly (sample 2) were selected and the resting pulse rate of each person was measured. The summary statistics are as follows: Pulse Rate data Group 1 (no exercise) Group 2 (exercise) average 72.7 69.7 standard deviation 10.9 8.2 sample size 16 12 Test the claim that the mean resting pulse rate of people who do not exercise regularly is greater than the mean resting pulse rate of people who exercise regularly, use 0.01 as the significance level. Round you answer to 3 decimal places. Group of answer choices p-value=0.207, evidence not support claim p-value=0.267, evidence support claim p-value=0.414, evidence not support claim p-value=0.793, evidence not support claim p-value=0.207, evidence…
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…
atients suffering from rheumatic diseases or osteoporosis often suffer critical losses in bone mineral density (BMD). Alendronate is one medication prescribed to build or prevent further loss of BMD. Holcomb and Rothenberg (A-3) looked at 96 women taking alendronate to determine if a difference existed in the mean percent change in BMD among five different primary diagnosis classifications. Group 1 patients were diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Group 2 patients were a mixed collection of patients with diseases including lupus, Wegener’s granulomatosis and polyarteritis, and other vasculitic diseases (LUPUS). Group 3 patients had polymyalgia rheumatica or temporal arthritis (PMRTA). Group 4 patients had osteoarthritis (OA) and group 5 patients had osteoporosis (O) with no other rheumatic diseases identified in the medical record. Changes in BMD are shown in the following table. Discuss the Alendronate medication data in terms of variability. To determine if a difference…
