Students in a representative sample of 65 first-year students selected from a large university in England participated in a study of academic procrastination. Each student in the sample completed the Tuckman Procrastination Scale, which measures procrastination tendencies. Scores on this scale can range from 16 to 64, with scores over 40 indicating higher levels of procrastination. For the 65 first-year students in this study, the mean score on the procrastination scale was 37.2 and the standard deviation was 6.41. USE SALT (a) Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of μ, the mean procrastination scale for first-year students at this college. (Round your answers to three decimal places.) (b) Based on your interval, is 40 a plausible value for the population mean score? O Yes O No What does this imply about the population of first-year students? O This implies that on average, students at this university do have high levels of procrastination. O This implies that students at this…
A psychologist wanted to know if students in her class were more likely to cheat if they were low achievers. She divided her 60 students into three groups (low, middle, and high) based on their mean exam score on the previous three tests. She then asked them to rate how likely they were to cheat on an exam if the opportunity presented itself with a very limited chance for consequences. The students rated their desire to cheat on a scale ranging from 1-100, with lower numbers indicating less desire to cheat.

A researcher believes there is a difference in the mean number of days before visible results begin to show among three types of facial creams that reduce wrinkle lines. Several consumers are randomly selected and given one of the three creams. Each participant then recorded the number of days it took to see results. The results are shown in the table. Based on these data, can you conclude that there is a difference between the mean number of days for these three creams? Use a 0.05 level of significance and assume the population distributions are approximately normal with equal population variances. Cream #1 20 20 14 17 15 Cream #2 13 15 15 11 13 Cream #3 14 18 15 16 17 10 Copy Data Step 1 of 2: Compute the value of the test statistic. Round any intermediate calculations to at least six decimal places, and round your final answer to four decimal places.

The blue catfish (Ictalurus Furcatus) is the largest species of North Amercian catfish. The current world record stands at 143 pounds, which was caught in the John H. Kerr Reservoir (Bugg's Island Lake) located in Virginia. According to Amercian Expedition, the average weight of a blue catfish is between 20 to 40 pounds. Given that the largest blue catfish ever caught was at the John H. Kerr Reservoir, you believe that the mean weight of the fish in this reservoir is greater than 40 pounds. If you are going to test this claim, what would be your null and alternative hypotheses? Но: (? На: (?
A consumer advocacy group is doing a large study on car rental practices. Among other things, the consumer group would like to do a statistical test regarding the mean mnonthly mileage, u, of cars rented in the U.S. this year. The consumer group has good reason to believe that the mean monthly mileage of cars rented in the U.S. this year is greater than last year's mean, which was 2750 miles. The group plans to do a statistical test regarding the value of u. It chooses a random sample of monthly mileages and computes the mean of the sample to be 2900 miles and the standard deviation to be 700 miles. Based on this information, complete the parts below. (a) What are the null hypothesis H, and the alternative hypothesis H, that should be used for the test? H.: O
Two popular brands of tires for tractor-trailers are the Puma and the Eternal. Salma is a buyer for a major shipping company and wants to determine if there is any difference between the two brands of tire in the mean distance (in thousands of km) driven on them before they need to be replaced. In the company's testing lab, Salma tests a random sample of 14 Puma tires and a random sample of 15 Eternal tires. (These samples are chosen independently.) For the Puma tires, the sample mean distance (in thousands of km) until they would need to be replaced is 54.71 with a sample variance of 5.95. For the Eternal tires, the sample mean distance (in km) until they would need to be replaced is 50.21 with a sample variance of 37.75. Assume that the two populations of distances driven are approximately normally distributed. Can Salma conclude, at the 0.05 level of significance, that there is a difference between the population mean of the distances (in thousands of km) driven on Puma tires before…

An important measure in the study of contagious infectious diseases is the number of cases directly generated by one previous case. Jessica is an epidemiologist studying the spread of an infectious disease in her country. She claimed that the mean number of cases directly generated by one previous case is now greater than 1.2. A study of 12 randomly selected cases of the disease is conducted and finds the sample mean number of cases directly generated by one previous case to be 1.5 with a sample standard deviation of 0.7. Assume that the population of the number of cases directly generated by one previous case is approximately normally distributed. Complete the parts below to perform a hypothesis test to see if there is enough evidence, at the 0.10 level of significance, to support the claim that u, the mean number of cases directly generated by one previous case, is greater than 1.2. (a) State the null hypothesis H, and the alternative hypothesis H, that you would use for the test.…
A nationwide job recruiting firm wants to compare the annual incomes for childcare workers in Utah and Oregon. Due to recent trends in the childcare industry, the firm suspects that the mean annual income of childcare workers in Utah is less than the mean annual income of childcare workers in Oregon. To see if this is true, the firm selected a random sample of 20 childcare workers from Utah and an independent random sample of 20 childcare workers from Oregon and asked them to report their mean annual income. The data obtained were as follows.

People often say “Distance makes the heart fonder.” Interestingly, due to pandemic related lockdowns, some persons have been implicitly or explicitly indicating that it is indeed true as they have been struggling with their relationships due to lack of time apart from their partner. A researcher who is interested in such an issue decided to collect data on the level of rage/edginess that exist among a few couples due to lockdowns. Participants were asked to rank the level of hostility they think they have been exerting towards their partner due to having to spend more time than they usually do with them. The resulting data is presented on page two (2). 2 *14 is the highest level of hostility. Level of hostility Number of partners 0-1 4 2-3 11 4-5 8 6-7 20 8-9 25 10-11 12 12-13 12 13-14 4 a.
