A large airline company called Fusion Fly monitors customer satisfaction by asking customers to rate their experience as a 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5, where a rating of 1 means "very poor" and 5 means "very good". The customers' ratings have a population mean of u=3.25, with a population standard deviation of o=1.86. Suppose that we will take a random sample of n=8 customers' ratings. Let x represent the sample mean of the 8 customers' ratings. Consider the sampling distribution of the sample mean x. Complete the following. Do not round any intermediate computations. Write your answers with two decimal places, rounding if needed. (a) Find u- (the mean of the sampling distribution of the sample mean). (b) Find o- (the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample mean).

Assume that the two samples are independent simple random samples selected from normally distributed populations. Do not assume that the population standard deviations are equal. A researcher was interested in comparing the GPAs of students at two different colleges. Independent simple random samples of 8 students from college A and 13 students from college B yielded the following GPAs. College A 3.7 3.2 3.0 2.5 2.7 3.6 2.8 3.4 College B 3.8 3.2 3.0 3.9 3.8 2.5 3.9 2.8 4.0 3.6 2.6 4.0 3.6 Construct a 95% confidence interval for μ1−μ2, the difference between the mean GPA of college A students and the mean GPA of college B students.

The mean tar content of a simple random sample of 25 unfiltered king-size cigarettes is 21.4 mg, with a standard deviation of 3 mg. The mean tar content of a simple random sample of 25 filtered 100-mm cigarettes is 13.0 mg with a standard deviation of 3.8 mg. The accompanying table shows the data. Assume that the two samples are independent simple random samples selected from normally distributed populations, and do not assume that the population standard deviations are equal. Let population 1 be unfiltered king-size cigarettes. Complete parts (a) through (c) below. Click the icon to view the data. a. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that unfiltered king-size cigarettes have a mean tar content greater than that of filtered 100-mm cigarettes.

A recent Gallup Poll interviewed a random sample of 1523 adults. Of these, 868 bought a lottery tickets in the past year. Suppose that in fact (unknown to Gallup) exactly 60% of all adults bought a lottery ticket in the past year. If Gallup took many simple random samples of 1,523 people, the sample proportion who bought a ticket would vary from sample to sample. The sampling distribution would be close to normal with a mean of 0.6 and a standard deviation of___ A)0.4899 B)0.0251 C)0.00016 D)0.0126

A study is conducted to compare the performance of students with more than one personal electronic gadget and those with only one. A number of them were taken as subjects for the study. The mean grades of these students and the standard deviations are shown below: For one gadget: The mean is 83, standard deviation is 12, and sample size is 7. For more than one gadget: The mean is 79, standard deviation is 13, and sample size is 5. Is it possible to conclude that there is no significant difference in the mean grades of the two types of students at a 95% confidence interval? Note: This is a two-tailed test. Also take note that this is finding the difference between two population means.
A researcher takes sample temperatures in Fahrenheit of 20 days from Minneapolis and 18 days from Cleveland. Use the sample data shown in the table. Test the claim that the mean temperature in Minneapolis is different than the mean temperature in Cleveland. Use a significance level of α=0.01. Assume the populations are approximately normally distributed with unequal variances.Note that list 1 is longer than list 2, so these are 2 independent samples, not matched pairs.

Select the single best answer: An investigator is interested in the cigarette use of workers in factory. She asks all the workers who come into the site if they use cigarettes and determines that 20% of the subjects smoke. She then asks every third smoker who comes to the site how many cigarettes they smoke each day; she finds that the mean number of cigarettes smoked is 16. She plots the number of cigarettes smoked by each worker on a frequency distribution and finds that it is normally distributed. She also finds that the number of male smokers is equal to the number of female smokers. She already knows that half of her subjects are men, and half are women. A particular worker, Mr. X, smokes 24 cigarettes a day. What is the corresponding deviation score? A. 40 B. +8 C. 0 D. -8 E. 24
A researcher would like to evaluate the effectiveness of a pain-relief patch designed for back pain. Prior to testing the patch, each of n = 8 patients rates their current level of back pain on a scale from 1 to 10. After wearing the patch for 90 minutes, a second pain rating is recorded. The data are as follows: Before After 6 2 8 3 9 4 8 1 10 2 5 3 9 8 7 7 a. Compute the mean and variance for the sample of difference scores. b. Do the results indicate that the pain-relief patch has an effect? Use a two-tailed test with α = .05 c. Compute Cohen’s d to measure the size of the effect.

A study is done to determine if students in the California state university (CSU) system take longer to graduate, on average, than students enrolled in private universities using the significant level of 5%. One hundred students from both the California state university system and private universities are surveyed. Suppose that from years of research, it is known that the population standard deviations are 1.5811 years for CSU and 1 year for private universities. The following data are collected. The California state university system students took on average 4.5 years with a standard deviation of 0.8. The private university students took on average 4.1 years with a standard deviation of 0.3. What is the decision rule of rejecting the null hypothesis
A researcher predicts that smoking cigarettes decreases a person's sense of smell. On a test of olfactory sensitivity (smell), the mean for non-smokers is 18.4. A sample of 12 people who smoke a pack each day have a sample mean of 16.25 (sample variance = 4.75). Complete the following statement: We ["", ""] the null. Smokers have ["", "", ""] in olfactory sensitivity compared to non-smokers.
