(COVID-19 Vaccine Anxiety)A doctor noted the Systolic BloodPressure (SBP) of a sample of 10persons among those who werevisiting his hospital for injectingCOVID-19 Vaccine. He found thatthe sample mean is 115 mm of Hgwith a sample standard deviationof 20 mm of Hg. Later on a nursefound that such two visitors arehiding under beds due to anxietyof COVID-19 Vaccine.DoctorHiding from the nurseIt is well known fact that anxiety doesn't cause long-term high blood pressure. Sometimes anepisode of anxiety can cause dramatic increase in your blood pressure, which was the casehere. The nurse noted that the visitors are stressed and their SBP are increased to 180 and194 mm of Hg.Now she wonders: What is the average SBP of all the 12 visitors?

A company that runs a chain of quick oil change centers, tries to attract customers by claiming that it completes oil changes faster than its competition. So it periodically estimates the time taken to do oil changes at its centers. From historical records, the company knows that the population standard deviation of oil change duration is 15 minutes. Recently, 40 customers were asked how much time they spent getting an oil change at one of their centers. Based on the sample data, the chain concluded that the average oil change time for the population of all its customers was between 15 and 25 minutes. What was the confidence level at which the inference was made?
Managers at an automobile manufacturing plant would like to examine the mean completion time, μ , of an assembly line operation. The past data indicate that the mean completion time is 44 minutes, but the managers have reason to believe that this value has decreased. The managers plan to perform a statistical test. After choosing a random sample of assembly line completion times, the managers compute the sample mean completion time to be 40 minutes. The standard deviation of the population of completion times can be assumed not to have changed from the previously reported value of 3 minutes. Based on this information, answer the questions below. What are the null hypothesis ( H0 ) and the alternative hypothesis ( H1 ) that should be used for the test? H0 : μ is H1 : μ is In the context of this test, what is a Type II error?A Type II error is the hypothesis that μ is when, in fact, μ is .Suppose that the…
A shareholders' group is lodging a protest against your company. The shareholders group claimed that the mean tenure for a chief exective office (CEO) was different 10 years. A survey of 75 companies reported in The Wall Street Journal found a sample mean tenure of 8.1 years for CEOs with a standard deviation of s= 4.4 years (The Wall Street Journal, January 2, 2007). You don't know the population standard deviation but can assume it is normally distributed.You want to formulate and test a hypothesis that can be used to challenge the validity of the claim made by the group, at a significance level of α=0.001. Your hypotheses are: Ho:μ=10 Ha:μ≠10What is the test statistic for this sample? test statistic = (Report answer accurate to 3 decimal places.)What is the p-value for this sample? p-value = (Report answer accurate to 4 decimal places.)The p-value is... less than (or equal to) α greater than α This test statistic leads to a decision to... reject the null accept the…
Thanks to an initiative to recruit top students, an administrator at a college claims that this year's entering class must have a greater mean IQ score than that of entering classes from previous years. The administrator tests a random sample of 22 of this year's entering students and finds that their mean IQ score is 114, with a standard deviation of 15. The college records indicate that the mean IQ score for entering students from previous years is 112. Is there enough evidence to conclude, at the 0.10 level of significance, that the population mean IQ score, u, of this year's class is greater than that of previous years? To answer, assume that the IQ scores of this year's entering class are approximately normally distributed. Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) State the null hypothesis H, and the alternative hypothesis H. H :0 H :0 ロロ (b)…

Do students who are members of fraternities or sororities have GPAs different from the student body as a whole? A random sample of 123 "greeks" has been selected from the student body of a large university. The GPA for the student body as a whole is 2.59 and the mean for the sample of "greeks" is 2.47 with a standard deviation of .34. Is the difference statistically significant at the alpha=.05 level? Show the results of your t-test and state whether that means the difference is significance or not.

A researcher is comparing the amount of calories in two different lunch special pizzas: Hawaiian and pepperoni. Random samples of 30 Hawaiian and 30 pepperoni are taken. The mean amount of calories in the Hawaiian pizza was 800 calories with a standard deviation of 50 calories and the mean amount of calories in the pepperoni pizza was 1000 with a standard deviation of 100 calories. The population standard deviations are unknown but considered to be equal. What is the 99% confidence interval for the difference between the two population means?

Mr. Castillo is the owner of the Household Hacks. Recently he observed a difference in value of sales between the men and women he employs as sales associates. A sample of 40 days revealed the men sold a mean of 14000 worth of appliances per day with a standard deviation of 2000. For a sample of 50 days, the women sold a mean of 15000 worth of appliances per day with a standard deviation of 2500. At the .05 significance level can Mr. Castillo conclude that the mean amount sold per day is larger for the women?
