(a) Calculate n . s for these data, the mean of the variances of the four samples and the value of F. (b) Assuming that these data constitute random samples from four normal populations with the same standard deviation, test at the 0.01 level of significance whether the differences among the four sample means can be attributed to chance.

In the Izmir University of Economics, a professor claims that exam scores for non-accounting majors are more variable than for accounting majors. Random samples of 30 non-accounting majors and 30 accounting majors are taken from a final exam held on 2019. Test at the 5% level the null hypothesis that the two population variances are equal against the alternative that the true variance is higher for the non-accounting majors. Assume the populations are normally distributed. s = 1584.272 ny = 30 s = 400.495 Non-Accounting n = 30 Accounting To test the professor's claim, identify the null and alternative hypotheses. The null hypothesis is represented by H, and the alternative hypothesis is represented by H,. Choose the correct answer below. O A. Ho: o 2 O B. Ho: o = OD. Ho: o =0 H,: o
The data from an independent-measures research study produce a sample mean difference of 4 points, and each sample has a variance of 10. If there are n = 20 scores in each sample, then what is the estimated standard error of the difference between means?
Which statement best represents the logic of a one way analysis of variance which also called ANOVA which is also called the F test? A. Under the null, The population means are equal to each other, so any difference in sample means will register as significant difference B. Under the null, at least one mean is different from the others, so if this condition is met with the data, it will register as a significant difference C. Under the null, The means are assumed to be equal; as a result the between group variance will equal the within group variance ; if the calculated SSbetween is sufficiently larger than SSbetween this would suggest the between group variation is larger than within group variation and indicate there is a significant difference amount the means D. Under the null, the means are assumed to be equal, as a result, the within group variance will be larger than the between group variance and this will be revealed by a significant F, which would indicate that the…
Two samples, each with n = 5 scores, have a pooled variance of 40. What is the estimated standard error for the sample mean difference?
Gestation period is the length of pregnancy, or to be more precise, the interval between fertilization and birth. In Syrian hamsters, the average gestation period is 16 days. Suppose you have a sample of 31 Syrian hamsters who were exposed to high levels of the hormone progesterone when they were pups, and who have an average gestation length of 17.1 days and a sample variance of 26.0 days. You want to test the hypothesis that Syrian hamsters who were exposed to high levels of the hormone progesterone when they were pups have a different gestation length than all Syrian hamsters. Calculate the t statistic. To do this, you first need to calculate the estimated standard error. The estimated standard error is sMM= a. 31, b. 0.5232, c. 0.7328, d. 0.9158. The t statistic is- a. 1.50, b. 2.10, c. 2.63, d. 1.20 Now suppose you have a larger sample size n = 95. Calculate the estimated standard error and the t statistic for this sample with the same sample average and the same…
Listed in the data table are IQ scores for a random sample of subjects with medium lead levels in their blood. Also listed are statistics from a study done of IQ scores for a random sample of subjects with high lead levels. Assume that the two samples are independent simple random samples selected from normally distributed populations. Do not assume that the population standard deviations are equal Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the mean IQ scores for subjects with medium lead levels is higher than the mean for subjects with high lead levels. 1. What is the test statistic and P-Value? 2. State the conclusion for the test. 3. Construct a confidence interval suitable for testing the claim that students taking nonproctored tests get a higher mean score than those taking proctored tests. ____ < μ1 - μ2 < ____
A researcher predicts that smoking cigarettes decreases a person's sense of smell. On a test of olfactory sensitivity (smell), the mean for non-smokers is 18.4. A sample of 12 people who smoke a pack each day have a sample mean of 16.25 (sample variance = 4.75). Complete the following statement: We ["", ""] the null. Smokers have ["", "", ""] in olfactory sensitivity compared to non-smokers.
In a study of birth order and intelligence, IQ tests were given to 18- and 19-year-old men to estimate the size of the difference, if any, between the mean IQs of firstborn sons and secondborn sons. The following data for 10 firstborn sons and 10 secondborn sons are consistent with the means and standard deviations reported in the article. It is reasonable to assume that the samples come from populations that are approximately normal. Can you conclude that the mean IQ of firstborn sons is greater than the mean IQ of secondborn sons? Let μ1 denote the mean IQ of firstborn sons and μ2 denote the mean IQ of secondborn sons. Use the α = 0.01 level and the P-value method with the table.

A basketball coach believes that the variance of the heights of adult male basketball players is different from the variance of heights for the general population of men. The sample variance of heights, measured in inches, for a random sample of 19 basketball players is 14.22. The sample variance for a random sample of 18 other men is 34.49. Assume that both population distributions are approximately normal and test the coach’s claim using a 0.10 level of significance. Does the evidence support the coach’s claim? Let male basketball players be Population 1 and men in general be Population 2. Step 1 of 3: State the null and alternative hypotheses for the test. Fill in the blank below. H0: σ21=σ22: Ha: σ21⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯σ22 Step 2 of 3: Compute the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to four decimal places. Step 3 of 3: Draw a conclusion and interpret the decision.
An HIV clinical trial with 1151 subjects was conducted. We will focus on two variables from this trial: IVDrug and Age. IVDrug is a categorical variable that indicates whether each subject never, previously, or currently uses IV drugs. Age lists the subject's age in year. Thus, we have age for subjects in three treatment groups. Assume that the samples were collected independently and come from a normally distributed population with equal variances. An ANOVA is used to test whether average age in the three IV drug groups is the same. A partially filled-in ANOVA table is listed below. Use a significance level of 0.05. p-value Treatment Error Total df SS MS 76.77 F 7.5586
A simple random sample of 1000 observations is taken from a population of 10,000. What is the standard error of the sample mean?
Two surfers and statistics students collected data on the number of days on which surfers surfed in the last month for 30 longboard (L) users and 30 shortboard (S) users. Treat these data as though they were from two independent random samples. Test the hypothesis that the mean days surfed for all longboarders is larger than the mean days surfed for all shortboarders (because longboards can go out in many different surfing conditions). Use a level of significance of 0.05. Longboard: 4,10,9,4,9,8,8,6,7,9,11,11,9,15,11,16,13,11,12,18,18,13,12,15,20,22,7,24,22,24 Shortboard: 6,4,4,6,9,9,6,8,4,8,8,5,9,9,4,16,12,9,13,13,10,13,11,12,14,14,9,21,19,10 Determine the hypotheses for this test.
