A personality test has a subsection designed to assess the "honesty" of the test-taker. Suppose that you're interested in the mean score, u, on this subsection among the general population. You decide that you'll use the mean of a random sample of scores on this subsection to estimate u. What is the minimum sample size needed in order for you to be 95% confident that your estimate is within 2 of µ? Use the value 20 for the population standard deviation of scores on this subsection. Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places. Write your answer as a whole number (and make sure that it is the minimum whole number that satisfies the requirements). (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.)

A sample of 10 students took a class designed to improve their SAT math scores. Following are their scores before and after the class. Can you conclude that the mean increase in scores is greater than 15 points? Let m1 represent the mean score after the class and md=m1-m2. Use the a=0.05 level and the p-value method with the TI-84 Plus calculator. before is 447,440, 439, 435, 451, 453, 491, 526, 473, 440. after is 482, 479, 451, 431, 454, 463, 511, 529, 493, 466.
A random sample of 10,000 bottles of cola was taken to see whether the mean weight was 16 fluid ounces, as marked on the container. The null hypothesis is that the population mean is 16 ounces. Use the read-out below to test the hypothesis that the colas do not have a population mean of 16 fluid ounces. You do not have to do any calculations; just interpret the given data clearly and thoroughly in the context of the problem. | One-Sample T: ounces Test of u = 16 vs = 16 Variable Mean StDev SE Mean 95 CI T P ounces 10000 15.9988 0.0985 0.0010 (15.9969, 16.0007) -1.21 0.225

You want to compare differences in prior arrests across ethnicity in your study, you measured ethnicity as white =0 black =1 hispanic=2, and other =3. Prior arrests was recorded as the number of prior arrests. which test would you perform to see if arrests differ across diffrent ethnic categories? A. ANOVA B. T-test
Corporate Farms. The U.S. Census Bureau estimates the mean value of the land and buildings per corporate farm. Those estimates are published in the Census of Agriculture. Suppose that an estimate, x, is obtained and that the margin of error is $1000. Does this result imply that the true mean, μ, is within $1000 of the estimate? Explain your answer.
Can you find and show the p-value for this question?

Available below are amounts of arsenic in samples of brown rice from three different regions. The amounts are in micrograms of arsenic and all samples have the same serving size. Use a 0.05significance level to test the claim that the three samples are from populations with the same mean. Do the amounts of arsenic appear to be different in the different regions? Given that the amounts of arsenic in the samples from region Ahave the highest mean, can we conclude that brown rice from region A poses the greatest health problem?
