In the year 2033, Sarai Patterson is a leading traveling nurse. Sarai is interested in reducing the mean recovery time for patients after experiencing a serious injury (assume recovery times are normally distributed). Suppose the mean recovery time is presently 8.6 months. Sarai takes a random sample of 46 patients that have experienced serious injury to participate in a new treatment program and finds the sample mean is 8.1 months and a sample standard deviation of 1.2 months. Using α = 0.05, answer the following questions. a) What is the setup for your null and alternative hypothesis? b) What is the value of the test statistic? c) What is/are the critical value(s)?
As a bonus assignment a former student checked if your professor gave a statisticallysignificant difference in grades between his male and female students. She based herstudy based on grades assigned in intermediate Econ courses (Econ 303, 305 and 317)and her sample included nm = 485 male students and nf = 264 female students. Theaverage grades received were xm = 84.6 and xf = 85.8 The population standad deviation were σ m = 12.0 and σ f = 11.4 8. From the same extra-credit study as in question 7 see above, this former student found that the proportion of female students in principle courses (Econ 203, 205) was ?̅? = 0.380, while the proportion of female students in intermediate courses (Econ 303, 305, 317) was ?̅? = 0.352. The principle courses sample size was np = 782, while the intermediate courses sample size was ni = 749. Test the hypothesis that female students are less in intermediate courses using a 90% confidence level and the p-value approach.
A researcher wishes to compare the mean of time spent watching TV in a day between men and women to test if the mean watching time for men equals the mean time for women. Assume that he performed the needed test and produce the following results: Gender N Mean Standard deviation Female 116 1.95 1.51 Male 59 2.37 1.85 95% confidence Interval for (µ,-µ,):(0.79,0.94) I. Which of the following is the correct conclusion about these results using a 5% significant level? OThe mean TV watching times of men and women are equal OThere is a statistically significant difference between the mean TV watching times of men and women. OThere is not a statistically significant difference between the mean TV watching tímes of men and women. OThere is not enough information to conclude II. Which statement is correct about p-value based on your conclusion about the test? Op-value0.05 Opvalue>0.005 OCannot be determine from the information given

Bob selects independent random samples from wo populations and obtains the values pi 0.700 and p2 confidence interval for p1 – P2 and gets: 0.500. He constructs the 95% 0.200 ± 1.96(0.048) = 0.200 ±0.094. %3| Note that 0.048 is called the estimated standard error of pi – P2 (the ESE of the estimate). Tom wants to estimate the mean of the success rates: Pi + p2 (a) Calculate Tom's point estimate. (b) Given that the estimated standard er- ror of (p1 + p2)/2 is 0.024, calculate the 95% confidence interval estimate of (Pi + P2)/2. Hint: The answer has our usual form: Pt. est. ±1.96 × ESE of the estimate.
