A recent college graduate is trying to decide whether or not pursuing a Master's degree is worth it. He decides examine this question at the a = 0.10 level of significance, by comparing the salaries of a random sample of adults with only a Bachelor's degree to a random sample of adults with a Master's degree to see if the adults with a Master's degree earn more money. Let uB represent the average salary of an adult with a Bachelor's degree only and jAM represent the average salary of an adult with a Master's degree. Which would be correct hypotheses for this test? O Ho: HB = HM, H:B # µM O Ho: HB = HM H:HB < AM Ho:HB = HM, H:#B > HM OHo:HB # HM, H1:HB = HM A random sample of 61 adults with only a Bachelor's degree had an average salary of $47102, with a standard deviation of $1870.

Find the test statistic (2 decimal places): Give the P-value (4 decimal places - is less than 0.001 answer 0): Which is the correct result: Reject the Null Hypothesis Do not Reject the Null Hypothesis

An adventure company runs two obstacle courses, Fundash and Coolsprint. The designer of the courses suspects that the mean completion time of Fundash is not equal to the mean completion time of Coolsprint. To test this, she selects 250 Fundash runners and 285 Coolsprint runners. (Consider these as random samples of the Fundash and Coolspring runners.) The 250 Fundash runners complete the course with a mean time of 76.7 minutes and a standard deviation of 5.7 minutes. The 285 Coolsprint runners complete the course with a mean time of 77.5 minutes and a standard deviation of 5.6 minutes. Assume that the population standard deviations of the completion times can be estimated to be the sample standard deviations, since the samples that are used to compute them are quite large. At the 0.05 level of significance, is there enough evidence to support the claim that the mean completion time, u, of Fundash is not equal to the mean completion time, µa, of Coolsprint? Perform a two-tailed test.…
Studies indicate that excessive noise at night can affect weight gain. One study of n = 127 rats compared the weight gain of rats exposed to excessive noise at night and the weight gain of rats in a quiet night environment. Sample statistics for the study are given in the table below. Use this information to determine if there is significant evidence that weight gain of rats exposed to excessive noise at night is different on average than weight gain of rats in a quiet night environment. Excessive noise at night environment (Group 1) Quiet night environment (Group 2) Sample mean (grams) 22.4 19.9 Sample standard deviation (grams) 6.4 3.8 Observations/Sample size 69 58 Is this a one-tailed or a two-tailed test? Explain in one or two sentences.
In a population of 150 pea plants, there are 89 tall-purple plants, 25 short-purple plants, 28 tall-white plants, and 8 short-white plants. In order to test if the two traits are experiencing independent assortment researchers would perform a chi squared test. What is your calculated Chi Squared statistic? What is the corresponding P value?
A graduate student is interested in how viewing different types of scenes affects working memory. For his study, he selects a random sample of 36 adults. The subjects complete a series of working memory tests before and after walking in an urban setting. Before the walk, the mean score on the test of working memory was 9.1. After the walk, the mean score was 1.4 higher. The graduate student has no presupposed assumptions about how viewing different types of scenes affects working memory, so he formulates the null and alternative hypotheses as: H00 : μDD = 0 H11 : μDD ≠ 0 Assume that the data satisfy all of the required assumptions for a repeated-measures t test. The graduate student calculates the following statistics for his hypothesis test: Mean difference (MDD) 1.4 Estimated population standard deviation of the differences (s) 1.6 Estimated standard error of the mean differences (sMDMD) 0.2667 Degrees of freedom (df) 35 The t statistic 5.25 The critical values of t…
A researcher gathered a sample of participants who volunteered for a studying of phobias. She measured anxiety level of participants as they viewed photos of spiders and again when they viewed puppies. Which statistical test is appropriate for this study and why?
According to the Humane Society, 33% of households in the United States own at least one cat. You are interested in determining whether the proportion of households of the students at your school that own at least one cat is different from the national proportion. Suppose you survey an SRS of students at your school and find that 25% of them own cats, which yields a p-value of .092. Interpret this p-value.
A researcher was curious whether psychology majors earned a different amount of money after college compared to business majors. The mean salary for business majors 5 years after graduation is 55,000. She asked 22 recent psychology graduates their salaries and found that M=48,000 and s=12,000. Test the hypothesis that psychology majors make a different amount of money than business majors. Use a significance level of 0.05.
An environmental group conducted a study to determine whether crows in a certain region were ingesting food containing unhealthy levels of lead. A biologist classified lead levels greater than 6.0 parts per million (ppm) as unhealthy and that the distribution of the population of crows was Normally distributed. The lead levels of a random sample of 23 crows in the region were measured and recorded. The mean lead level of the 23 crows in the sample was 4.90 ppm and the standard deviation was 1.12 ppm. B.A previous study of crows showed that the population standard deviation was at 2.6 ppm. What minimum sample size would be required to construct a 90 percent confidence interval to have a margin of error within 0.03?
According to previous studies, the mean distance each visitor in Greenspan National Park hikes during their visit is 30 kilometers. The park recently closed its shuttle system, which used to transport hikers to many of the park's most popular hiking trails. Because of this, an administrator at the park suspects the mean distance, u, is now less than 30 kilometers. The administrator chooses a random sample of 45 visitors. The mean distance hiked for the sample is 27.2 kilometers. Assume the population standard deviation is 9.9 kilometers. Can the administrator conclude that the mean distance hiked by each visitor is now less than 30 kilometers? Perform a hypothesis test, using the 0.10 level of significance. (a) State the null hypothesis H, and the alternative hYpothesis H,. O
