When engaging in weight-control (fitness/fat burning) types of exercise, a person is expected to attain approximately 60% of his or her maximum heart rate. For 20-year-olds, this rate is approximately 120 bpm. A simple random sample of one hundred 20-year-olds was taken, and the sample mean was found to be 107 bpm, with a standard deviation of 45 bpm. Researchers wonder if this is evidence to conclude that the expected level is actually lower than 120 bpm. To determine this, we test the following hypotheses: Ho: H= 120 versus H₂ μ< 120 Suppose the mean and standard deviation obtained were based on a sample of size 25 rather than 100.
A water company wants to analyze the the level of a particular contaminant in a water supply. The contaminant level is to be checked at several locations. Assume that the observed contaminant level is normally distributed and that each observation is independent of the others. A scientist measures the contaminant level at 10 different locations in the water supply and finds the mean level of the substance is T = 120 parts per billion (ppb) with standard deviation s = 25 ppb. Estimate the true mean contaminant level in the water supply with a 99% upper confidence bound. Answer requires 2 decimal places accuracy.
A study compared the weight loss of people on a low-fat diet versus people on a low-carb diet. In a sample of 100 obese people on a low-fat diet the sample mean weight loss as 7.6 pounds with a standard deviation of 3.2 pounds. In another sample of 120 obese people on a low-carb diet the sample mean weight loss was 6.7 pounds with a standard deviation of 3.9 pounds. Write down all formulas and state the hypothesisa) Test the hypothesis, at the 5% level of significance, that there is a difference in the mean weightloss of using the 2 different diets. b) What is the p-value?

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.

Our environment is very sensitive to the amount of ozone in the upper atmosphere. The level of ozone normally found is 4.8 parts/million (ppm). A researcher believes that the current ozone level is at an excess level. The mean of 242samples is 5.2 ppm with a variance of 1.001.00. Does the data support the claim at the 0.05 level? Assume the population distribution is approximately normal. Find the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to three decimal places. Specify if the test is one-tailed or two-tailed. Determine the decision rule for rejecting the null hypothesis. Round your answer to three decimal places. Make the decision to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis.

To compare the dry braking distances from 30 to 0 miles per hour for two makes of automobiles, a safety engineer conducts braking tests for 35 models of Make A and 35 models of Make B. The mean braking distance for Make A is 42 feet. Assume the population standard deviation is 4.7 feet. The mean braking distance for Make B is 45 feet. Assume the population standard deviation is 4.4 feet. At a = 0.10, can the engineer support the claim that the mean braking distances are different for the two makes of automobiles?

Unfortunately, arsenic occurs naturally in some ground water. A mean arsenic level of u = 8 parts per billion (ppb) is considered safe for agricultural use. A well in Los Banos is used to water cotton crops. This well is tested on a regular basis for arsenic. A random sample of 37 tests gave a sample mean of = 7.3ppb arsenic. It is known that o = 1.9 ppb for this type of data. Does this information indicate that the mean level of arsenic in this well is less than 8 ppb? Use the classical approach. Use a = 0.01 What is the Decision (step 5) for this problem? There is not sufficient evidence at the 0.01 level of significance to show the mean arsenic level in the Los Banos well is less than 7.3 ppb. O There is sufficient evidence at the 0.01 level of significance to show the mean arsenic level in the Los Banos well is less than 8.0 ppb. There is not sufficient evidence at the 0.01 level of significance to show the mean arsenic level in the Los Banos well is less than 8.0 ppb. O There is…

It takes an average of 14.5 minutes for blood to begin clotting after an injury. An EMT wants to see if the average will increase if the patient is immediately told the truth about the injury. The EMT randomly selected 70 injured patients to immediately tell the truth about the injury and noticed that they averaged 16.3 minutes for their blood to begin clotting after their injury. Their standard deviation was 4.75 minutes. What can be concluded at the the α = 0.10 level of significance? a. For this study, we should use [Select an answer b.

The Weather Underground reported that the mean amount of summer rainfall for the northeastern US is at least 11.52 inches. Ten cities in the northeast are randomly selected and the mean rainfall amount is calculated to be 7.42 inches with a standard deviation of 1.3 inches. At the α = 0.05 level, can it be concluded that the mean rainfall was below the reported average? What if α = 0.01? Assume the amount of summer rainfall follows a normal distribution. Please also state if the assumption of normal distribution was essential for solving this question. You will need to specify the appropriate hypothesis, identify the statistical test, estimate p-value (using R command), and state your conclusion in the context of the problem. For the conclusion, please use the following template. If you reject the null writeSince p-value is [write the value of your p-value] and is less than [write the value of alpha inpercent] we reject the null hypothesis at [write the value of alpha]% significance…
