A doctor wishes to see whether the pulse rates of smokers are higher than the pulse rates of non-smokers. Sample of 102 smokers and 100 non smokers are selected. The results are given as the average of smokers and non smokers are 89 and 86 respectively and the population variances of smokers and non smokers are as 25 and 36 respectively. Can the doctor conclude, at α = 0.01, that smokers have higher pulse rates than nonsmokers ?

Suppose that the average salary of health systems professionals is normally distributed with µ=KES 40,000 and σ = KES 10,000. What proportion of professionals will earn KES 24,800 or less? What proportion of professionals will earn KES 53,500 or more? What proportion of professionals will earn between KES 45,000 and KES 57,000? Calculate the 80th percentile. Calculate the 27th percentile
A physical therapist wanted to know whether the mean step pulse of men was less than the mean step pulse of women. She randomly selected 54 men and 70 women to participate in the study. Each subject was required to step up and down a 6-inch platform. The pulse of each subject was then recorded. The following results were obtained. Two sample T for Men vs Women N Mean StDev SE Mean Men Women 98% CI for mu Men - mu Women (- 12.20, - 1.00) T-Test mu Men = mu Women (vs H2 O C.

I have asked this question twice and both times it has been wrong. Answer given F=.82 and .77 both these are incorrect. A bakery is considering buying one of two gas ovens. The bakery requires that the temperature remain constant during a baking operation. A study was conducted to measure the variance in temperature of the ovens during the baking process. The variance in temperature before the thermostat restarted the flame for the Monarch oven was 3.3 for 22 measurements. The variance for the Kraft oven was 4 for 25 measurements. Does this information provide sufficient reason to conclude that there is a difference in the variances for the two ovens? Assume measurements are normally distributed and use a 0.02 level of significance.
Suppose X, Y and Z are 3 random variables. The mean of X is 2. The mean of Y is 3. The mean of Z is 4. The standard deviations are 1, 2, and 3 (in the same order). The correlation between any two is -1/4. Find the mean and variance of T = X +Y+ 2Z.
A study was conducted to examine the difference between the average cholesterol levels in the blood of men and females. It can be assumed that cholesterol levels follow a normal distribution in both populations and that the distribution in the populations is similar (e. Assume that cholesterol levels follow a normal distribution in both populations with similar variances). An equal number of measurements were made on men and women. The results were entered into R and the R code and output can be seen below: t.test(kol$mael-kol$kyn,var.equal = T) %3D Two Sample t-test data: kol$mael by kol$kyn t = 5.7731, df = 18, p-value alternative hypothesis: true difference in means is not equal to 0 95 percent confidence interval: 15.28775 32.78050 = 0.000018 sample estimates: mean in group Men mean in group women 219.2115 195.1774 1.

The durability of the hacksaw is measured in a quality control laboratory. A standard saw needs 2500 cuts. The cutting average of 28 saws selected randomly from a company was found to be 2600 and the variance as 17500. I wonder if the company's production is above the standard? (α = 0.01)
Justin wants to know whether a commonly prescribed drug does improve the attention span of students with attention deficit disorder (ADD). He knows that the mean attention span for students with ADD who are not taking the drug is 2.3 minutes long. His sample of 12 students taking the drug yielded a mean of 4.6 minutes. Justin can find no information regarding σx , so he calculated s2x =1.96. a. Identify the independent and dependent variables. b. In a sentence, state the null hypothesis being tested. c. Using symbols, state the null and alternative hypotheses. d. Determine the critical region using a one-tailed test with alpha = .05. e .Conduct the hypothesis test (Do the math and compare the t-critical and t-obtained values). f. State your conclusions in terms of H0 (Should you reject the H0 or fail to reject/accept the H0). g. Based on your analysis, is there a relationship between the drug and attention span?
