Fran is training for her first marathon, and she wants to know if there is a significant difference between the mean number of miles run each week by group runners and individual runners who are training for marathons. She interviews 42 randomly selected people who train in groups and finds that they run a mean of 47.1 miles per week. Assume that the population standard deviation for group runners is known to be 4.4 miles per week. She also interviews a random sample of 47 people who train on their own and finds that they run a mean of 48.5 miles per week. Assume that the population standard deviation for people who run by themselves is 1.8 miles per week. Test the claim at the 0.01 level of significance. Let group runners training for marathons be Population 1 and let individual runners training for marathons be Population 2. Step 2 of 3 : Compute the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to two decimal places.
A statistics teacher taught a large introductory statistics class, with 500 students having enrolled over many years. The mean score over all those students on the first midterm was u = 88 with standard deviation o = 10. One year, the teacher taught a %3D much smaller class of only 25 students. The teacher wanted to know if teaching a smaller class was more effective and students performed better. We can consider the small class as an SRS of the students who took the large class over the years. The average midterm score was = 78. The hypothesis should be: a. Ho: H = 78 vs. Ha: H = 88. %3D O b. Ho: µ = 88 vs. Ha: µ 78 %3D Ο d. Ho: μ-88 νs. Ha: μ >88. %3D
A study of 40 English professors showed that they spend, on average, 12.6 minutes correcting a student's term paper. The standard deviation was 2.5 minutes. Construct the 99% confidence interval of the mean for all term papers.
A study has been made to compare the nicotine contents of two brands of cigarettes. Ten cigarettes of Brand A had an average nicotine content of 4.3 milligrams with a standard deviation of 0.6 milligram. Eight cigarettes of Brand B had an average nicotine content of 3 milligrams with a standard deviation of 0.4 milligram. Assume that the two sets of data are independent random samples from normal populations with equal variances. Answer the following, and round off your answer to three decimal places. (a) Find a pooled estimate of the population standard deviation. (b) Construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference between the mean nicotine contents of the two brands of cigarettes. (☐☐)
Assume that the heights of women are normally distributed. A random sample of 20 women have a mean height of 62.5 inches and a standard deviation of 1.3 inches. Construct a 98% confidence interval for the population variance, .
Bone mineral density (BMD) is a measure of bone strength. Studies show that BMD declines after age 45. The impact of exercise may increase BMD. A random sample of 59 women between the ages of 41 and 45 with no major health problems were studied. The women were classified into one of two groups based upon their level of exercise activity: walking women and sedentary women. The 39 women who walked regularly had a mean BMD of 5.96 with a standard deviation of 1.22. The 20 women who are sedentary had a mean BMD of 4.41 with a standard deviation of 1.02. Which of the following inference procedures could be used to estimate the difference in the mean BMD for these two types of women
The mean number of English courses taken in a two-year time period by male and female college students is believed to be about the same. An experiment is conducted and data are collected from 29 males and 16 females. The males took an average of three English courses with a standard deviation of 0.8. The females took an average of four English courses with a standard deviation of 1.0. Are the means statistically the same? (Assume a 5% level of significance.)
This question applies to the next 3 MCQs. Wire wound resistors are being custom made for a Design House with a maximum specification of 305.70 ohms and a minimum specification of 304.55 ohms. If the resistance is higher it can be reworked, if lower they must be scrapped. The resistors manufactured follow a normal distribution with a mean of 305.2 ohms and a standard deviation of 0.25 ohms. What percentage of the resistors are scrap (approximately)? 5% 2% 0.1% 0.5% 1%
Determine the margin of error, ?m, for a 95% confidence interval when the sample size is ?=21n=21 and the sample standard deviation is ?=17.s=17.
Do shoppers at the mall spend more money on average the day after Thanksgiving compared to the day after Christmas? The 52 randomly surveyed shoppers on the day after Thanksgiving spent an average of $122. Their standard deviation was $29. The 59 randomly surveyed shoppers on the day after Christmas spent an average of $117. Their standard deviation was $35. What can be concluded at the αα = 0.05 level of significance? For this study, we should use The null and alternative hypotheses would be: H0:H0: H1:H1: The test statistic = (please show your answer to 3 decimal places.) The p-value = (Please show your answer to 4 decimal places.) The p-value is αα Based on this, we should the null hypothesis.
A researcher decides to measure anxiety in group of bullies and a group of bystanders using a 23-item, 3 point anxiety scale. Assume scores on the anxiety scales are normally distributed and the variance among the group of bullies and bystanders are the same. A group of 30 bullies scores an average of 21.5 with a sample standard deviation of 10 on the anxiety scale. A group of 27 bystanders scored an average of 25.8 with a sample standard deviation of 8 on the anxiety scale. You do not have any presupposed assumptions whether bullies or bystanders will be more anxious so you formulate the null and alternative hypothesis based on that.
Karen wants to advertise how many chocolate chips are in each Big Chip cookie at her bakery. She randomly selects a sample of 63 cookies and finds that the number of chocolate chips per cookie in the sample has a mean of 9 and a standard deviation of 2. What is the 95% confidence interval for the number of chocolate chips per cookie for Big Chip cookies?
