Researchers conducted an experiment to test the effects of alcohol. Errors were recorded in a test of visual and motor skills for a treatment group of 28 people who drank ethanol and another group of 28 people given a placebo. The errors for the treatment group have a standard deviation of 2.20, and the errors for the placebo group have a standard deviation of 0.77. Assume that the two populations are normally distributed. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that both groups have the same amount of variation among the errors. Let sample 1 be the sample with the larger sample variance, and let sample 2 be the sample with the smaller sample variance. What are the null and alternative hypotheses? OB. Ho: 0=02 O A.

A researcher claims that the amounts of acetaminophen in a certain brand of cold tablets have a mean different than the 600mg claimed by the manufacturer. Test this claim at the .01 significance level. The mean acetaminophen content for a random sample of n = 29 tablets is 597.9 mg with a standard deviation of 3.8 mg. What are the hypotheses? What is the test statistic? Is it a z or a t? Find the P-value for this test statistic. How does it compare to the significance level? On the normal curve, indicate the location of the test statistic and the p-value. (label them on the graph) Write a conclusion in statistical terms and relate it to the parameters of this problem.
A coin-operated coffee machine made by BIG Corporation was designed to discharge a mean of 7.3 ounces of coffee per cup. If it dispenses more than that on average, the corporation may lose money, and if it dispenses less, the customers may complain. Believing that the mean amount of coffee dispensed by the machine, u, is greater than 7.3 ounces, BIG plans to do a statistical test of the claim that the machine is working as designed. Technicians gather a random sample of fill amounts and find that the mean of the sample is 7.5 ounces and that the standard deviation is 0.6 ounces. Based on this information, answer the questions below. What are the null hypothesis (H,) and the alternative hypothesis (H,) that should be used for the test? H: u is ? H: u is ? In the context of this test, what is a Type I error? A Type I error is ? fact, u is ? v the hypothesis that u is ? v? v. when, in Suppose that BIG decides not to reject the null hypothesis. What sort of error might it be making? ?

A researcher intends to estimate the effect of a drug on the scores of human subjects performing a task of psychomotor coordination. The members of a random sample of 9 subjects were given the drug prior to testing. The mean score in this group was 9.07, and the sample variance was 17.68. An independent random sample of 10 subjects was used as a control group and given a placebo prior to testing. The mean score in this control group was 15.21, and the sample variance was 27.48. Assuming that the population distributions are normal with equal variances, find a 90% confidence interval for the difference between the population mean scores The confidence interval is<, -,O (Round to two decimal places as needed.)
Choose the appropriate statistical test. When computing, be sure to round each answer as indicated. A dentist wonders if depression affects ratings of tooth pain. In the general population, using a scale of 1-10 with higher values indicating more pain, the average pain rating for patients with toothaches is 6.8.
