Confidence Intervals

When we calculate intervals in probability and statistics, it can be simply termed as finding out a confidence interval. The confidence interval is usually calculated from the data set which is observed. The value of the parameter that needs to be calculated is present here only.

The mean for life expectancy is 47.6 for White people who were born in 1900 and 33.0 for non-white people. Suppose you randomly sample the death records for people born in 1900 in a certain country. Of the 124 white people, the mean life span is 45.3 years and the standard deviation is 12.7 years. 82 of the non-white people have a mean life span of 34.1 and a standard deviation of 15.6 years. A hypothesis test is needed to see if the mean is the same for both countries for White and Non-White people. Is this a right, left or two-tailed test.

A test of sobriety involves measuring the subject's motor skills. Twenty randomly-selected sober subjects take the test and produce a mean score of 41.0 with a standard deviation of 3.7. At the 0.01 level of significance, test the claim that the true mean score for all sober subjects is equal to 35.0. Use the traditional method of testing hypotheses. The results for the test turn out to be: Ho: H = 35.0. H1:µ/35.0. Test statistic: t 7.252. Critical values: t = -2.861, 2.861. Reject Ho. There is sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the mean is equal to 35.0. If a defense attorney argues the results are not valid because the sample size was too small, is his argument valid here? Yes, because the t-test is not as powerful as the z-test. No, because we rejected the null hypothesis. Yes, because we rejected the null hypothesis. O No, the sample size is never an issuc. O We need more information to answer.
Currently patrons at the library speak at an average of 60 decibels. Will this average decline after the installation of a new computer plug in station? After the plug in station was built, the librarian randomly recorded 51 people speaking at the library. Their average decibel level was 57.8 and their standard deviation was 6. What can be concluded at the the a = 0.01 level of significance? a. For this study, we should use Select an answer b. The null and alternative hypotheses would be: Ho: ? Select an answer H₁: ? Select an answer c. The test statistic ? C = (please show your answer to 3 decimal places.) d. The p-value = e. The p-value is ? α f. Based on this, we should Select an answer the null hypothesis. g.

Suppose that you wanted to determine if Santa Ana residents have better FICO Scores than the U.S. average of 540. You collect a simple random sample of 1000 Santa Ana residents and find a sample mean of 575. The population standard deviation for all FICO scores is 41. Choose the null and alternative hypothesis for the test. H_o is the null hypothesis H a is the alternative O H_o:u>.540, H_a: u-540 O Ho:u-540, H_a: u540 O Ho:u-.540, H a: u>540 O H_o u540

You'd like to test the null hypothesis that the means of the two samples (column A and column B) are the same. The alternative hypothesis is that they are not the same. You have no reason to believe that the standard deviations of the two samples are equal. Test at the alpha = 0.10 level. After using Excel, what do you conclude? Are the means the same?
A sample mean of 22298, sample standard deviation of 14200, and sample size of 17, Ho μ=30000, H1: p+30000, a-0.05 are given. Use the one-mean t-test to perform the required hypothesis test about the mean, μ, of the population from which the sample was drawn. Use the P-value approach. Also, assess the strength of the evidence against the null hypothesis. a. Test statistic: t = -2.24. P-value = 0.035; Do not reject the null hypothesis. O b. Test statistic: t = -2.24. P-value = 0.35; Do not reject the null hypothesis. c. Test statistic: t = -2.24. P-value = 0.35; Reject the null hypothesis. O d. Test statistic: t = -2.24. P-value = 0.035; Reject the null hypothesis.
Suppose a pitcher claims that his pitch speed is more than 55 miles per hour, on average. Several of his teammates do not believe him, so the pitcher decides to do a hypothesis test, at a 5% significance level, to persuade them. He throws 81 pitches. The mean speed of the sample pitches is 63 miles per hour. The pitcher knows from experience that the standard deviation for his pitch speed is 9 miles per hour.

A z-test is to be performed for a population mean. Express the decision criterion for the hypothesis test in terms of x. That is, determine for what values of x the null hypothesis would be rejected. ala After training intensively for six months, John hopes that his mean time to run 100 meters has decreased from last year's mean time of 11.8 seconds. He performs a hypothesis test to determine whether his mean time has decreased. Preliminary data analyses indicate that it is reasonable to apply a z-test.
