Use the magnitudes (Richter scale) of the 120 earthquakes listed in the accompanying data table. Use technology to find the range, variance, and standard deviation. If another value, 8.00, is added to those listed in the data set, do the measures of variation change much? 3.272.452.542.432.752.372.192.421.911.432.851.731.992.322.332.704.742.873.382.722.833.423.952.993.873.473.082.942.703.602.842.373.033.232.593.643.242.662.352.432.813.952.522.922.983.412.272.562.933.162.201.151.934.002.542.832.352.311.522.801.951.602.452.332.081.553.201.491.812.551.662.352.452.082.192.752.002.792.392.671.692.881.841.991.862.561.972.183.671.553.162.461.881.502.793.283.822.752.452.712.541.642.183.032.361.481.922.322.651.411.391.802.242.302.481.732.402.442.482.44

An immunologist wants to compare two rabies vaccines. People who had previously received the vaccine were divided into two groups. The first group received a booster dose of type I vaccine and the second group received a booster dose of type II vaccine. Two weeks later the antibody level was measured. The average number of antibodies in each group appears in the following table: Do these data indicate that there is a difference in the effectiveness of the two vaccines used for booster doses? Assume a normal distribution and equal population variances. What type of hypothesis test will allow us to reach a conclusion in the situation posed above? A. Variance test B. Unilateral for difference in proportions C. Bilateral for average difference D. Unilateral for change in effectiveness
Beef Consumption. According to Food Consumption, Prices, and Expenditures, published by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the mean consumption of beef per person in 2011 was 57.5 lb. A sample of 40 people taken this year yielded the data, in pounds, on last year’s beef consumption given on the WeissStats site. Use the technology of your choice to do the following. a. Obtain a normal probability plot, a boxplot, a histogram, and a stem-and-leaf diagram of the data on beef consumptions. b. Decide, at the 5% significance level, whether last year’s mean beef consumption is less than the 2011 mean of 57.5 lb. Apply the onemean t-test. c. The sample data contain four potential outliers: 0, 0, 0, and 13. Remove those four observations, repeat the hypothesis test in part (b), and compare your result with that obtained in part (b). d. Assuming that the four potential outliers are not recording errors, comment on the advisability of removing them from the sample data before performing the…

A developmental psychologist is interested in studying how long babies gaze at a photograph of a human face. To test this question, she shows a picture to a sample of six babies and records the length of their gaze in seconds. The data are as follows: 12, 17, 18, 20, 20, 29. Calculate the mean, median, mode, range, variance and standard deviation for the sample.

Listed below are amounts of arsenic in samples of brown rice from three different states. The amounts are in micrograms of arsenic and all samples have the same serving size. The data are from the Food and Drug Administration. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the three samples are from populations with the same mean. Assume that the distributions for each state are normal and that all variances are equal.
