A custodian wishes to compare two competing floor waxes to decide which one is best. He believes that the mean of WaxWin is not equal to the mean of WaxCo. In a random sample of 12 floors of WaxWin and 20 of WaxCo. WaxWin had a mean lifetime of 27.6 with a standard deviation of 8.8 and WaxCo had a mean lifetime of 20.3 with a standard deviation of 7.6. Perform a hypothesis test using a significance level of 0.01 to help him decide. Let WaxWin be sample 1 and WaxCo be sample 2 The correct hypotheses are: HA: P1 > µ2(claim) Ho: µ1 2 µ2 HA: µ1 < µ2(claim) Ho: µ1 = µ2 HA: H1 + H2(claim) Since the level of significance is 0.01 the critical value is 2.836 and -2.836 The test statistic is: (round to 3 places) The p-value is: (round to 3 places)

The mean BMI in patients free of diabetes has been reported as 27.8. An investigator measured BMI in 12 patients who are free of diabetes and found a mean BMI of 30.2 with a standard deviation of 5.5. The investigator hypothesizes that the BMI in patients free of diabetes is higher than what has been reported. Is there evidence that the BMI is significantly higher that 27.8? Use a 5% level of significance. Give each of the following to receive full credit: 1) the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses; 2) the appropriate test; 3) the decision rule; 4) the calculation of the test statistic; and 5) your conclusion including a comparison to alpha or the critical value. You MUSTshow your work to receive full credit. Partial credit is available.
An educator has developed a program to improve math scores on the Texas STAAR test. The average STAAR mathematics test for the third graders in the district was mean of 1472. A sample of n=30 third graders took the new math training program before taking the STAAR Math test. The average score for the students was M= 1497 with a standard deviation of 145. (note the standard deviaiton is not a variance). Was there a significant change in test scores (Use standard deviaiton = 0.05, two tailed test). Determine the t crit value.
Research has shown that, for baseball players, good hip range of motion results in improved performance and decreased body stress. A research article reported on a study of independent samples of 40 professional pitchers and 40 professional position players. For the pitchers, the sample mean hip range of motion was 75.8 degrees and the sample standard deviation was 5.6 degrees, whereas the sample mean and sample standard deviation for position players were 79.9 degrees and 7.2 degrees, respectively. Assuming that the two samples are representative of professional baseball pitchers and position players, test hypotheses appropriate for determining if there is convincing evidence that the mean range of motion for pitchers is less than the mean for position players. (Use ? = 0.05. Use ?1 for pitchers and ?2 for position players.)
A custodian wishes to compare two competing floor waxes to decide which one is best. He believes that the mean of WaxWin is greater than the mean of WaxCo. In a random sample of 40 floors of WaxWin and 43 of WaxCo. WaxWin had a mean lifetime of 26.3 and WaxCo had a mean lifetime of 28. The population standard deviation for WaxWin is assumed to be 7.1 and the population standard deviation for WaxCo is assumed to be 6.1. Perform a hypothesis test using a significance level of 0.05 to help him decide. Let WaxWin be sample 1 and WaxCo be sample 2. The correct hypotheses are: O Ho: µ1 H2(claim) Ο H: μι μp HA: H1 < µ2(claim) O Ho: µ1 = 2 HA: μι μ (claim) Since the level of significance is 0.05 the critical value is 1.645 The test statistic is: (round to 3 places) The p-value is: (round to 3 places) The decision can be made to: O reject Ho O do not reject Ho The final conclusion is that: O There is enough evidence to reject the claim that the mean of WaxWin is greater than the mean of WaxCo.…

A custodian wishes to compare two competing floor waxes to decide which one is best. He believes that the mean of WaxWin is less than the mean of WaxCo.

The water consumption per week by Brampton residences is normally distributed with an average of 125 gallons of water and a standard deviation of 10 gallons. The city of Brampton claims that the average water consumed in the state of Brampton is not 125 gallons. A team of AU students draws a simple random sample of 10 residences and find the mean consumption value of 120.3 gallons. Calculate the Zc and p-value showing all the steps.
Two estimates are available for the same population parameter. Estimate one has a standard deviation of 8.5 and estimate two has a standard deviation of 8.7. Estimate two is unbiased, whereas estimate one is biased. Which estimate would you choose and why?
A public bus company official claims that the mean waiting time for Bus # 14 during peak hours is approximately 10 minutes. Karen took Bus # 14 during peak hours on 36 different occasions. Her mean waiting time was 8.7 minutes. Assume that the population standard deviation o of 2.9 minutes is known. At the 0.01 significance level, test if the mean of all the peak hours waiting time for Bus # 14 is significantly different from 10 minutes.

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.
