A biologist believes that the gestation period for a mouse is not 21 days, as reported. She decides to randomly select 35 mice and record their gestation times, in days. The results are given in the following table: 22 21 22 20 19 20 23 24 20 24 24 20 20 24 23 23 21 22 20 22 22 23 21 22 23 21 20 21 22 22 24 21 24 21 22 g. Is there evidence to suggest that the average gestation period for a mouse is different from 21 days? Use a=0.05. Be sure to complete all of the necessary steps of the hypothesis test. No need to show work for calculations.

A college student is interested in whether presoaking time has an effect on cleanliness of clothing. He collects the dirty clothes from all of the people in his dorm and randomly assigns clothing to one of four presoak time conditions: 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 20 minutes. He then asks members of another dorm to rate the cleanliness of the items (they don’t know which clothing got which soaking time). The data are presented below. A) Perform an ANOVA by hand (SHOW ALL OF YOUR WORK by taking a photo of your handwork and either inserting it into the word document or uploading it as a separate file.) B) ANSWER QUESTION: Did the college student reject the null hypothesis? (yes or no)
The data that appears below are the weights (in pounds) of 15 packages of ground beef in Supermax supermarket refrigerators: 1.28, .90, 1.29, 1.15, .93, 1.18, .89, 1.12, 2.33, 1.94, 2.14, 2.6, 1.11, 1.9, 1.2 (Mendenhall et al., 2015).a) Construct a stem-and-leaf plot to show the distribution of these weights.b) Find the mean and standard deviation of the data set.
A community may be considered sociologically healthier the more variability there is in its housing values (up to a point). A major newspaper in one city investigated housing costs in several communities in its area and is running a story on its findings. For one of the communities, a random sample of 60 houses was examined, and the current market price of each house was determined. The newspaper published the following histogram summarizing these 60 prices. 20 15 10 5 0 Frequency 12 16 20 8 4 80 120 160 200 240 280 Current market price (in thousands of dollars) Based on this histogram, estimate the standard deviation of the sample of 60 prices. Carry your intermediate computations to at least four decimal places, and round your answer to at least one decimal place.
This question refers to excavations at a national monument. One question the archaeologists asked was: Is raw material used by prehistoric Indians for stone tool manufacture independent of the archaeological excavation site? Two different excavation sites gave the information in the following table. Use a chi-square test with 5% level of significance to test the claim that raw material used for construction of stone tools and excavation site are independent. Stone Tool Construction Material Material Site B Row Total Basalt 768 547 1315 Obsidian 101 94 195 Pedernal chert Other Column Total 536 499 1035 179 1496 1228 2724 (a) What is the level of significance?

The following is data about the hemoglobin concentrations of volunteers collected at sea level and at an altitude of 11000 feet. sea level concentrations = [14.70 , 15.22, 15.28, 16.58, 15.10 , 15.66, 15.91, 14.41, 14.73, 15.09, 15.62, 14.92]11000 feet concentrations = [14.81, 15.68, 15.57, 16.59, 15.21, 15.69, 16.16, 14.68, 15.09, 15.30 , 16.15, 14.76] There are two alternative scenarios about the way the data were obtained. In scenario 1, there are 12 volunteers who lived for a month at sea level, at which time blood was drawn and the data in "sea level concentrations" dataset were obtained. Subsequently, all 12 volunteers were moved to 11000 ft and after a month the data in the "11000 feet concentrations" dataset obtained. There is a one to one correspondence between the numbers in the two datasets, that is the first numbers correspond to volunteer1, the second numbers to volunteer2 etc. In scenario 2, the "sea level concentrations" dataset is a random sample obtained from 12…
