An economist studying inflation in electricity prices in 2018 and 2019 believes that the average price of electricity, even after adjusting for inflation, changed between these two years. To test his claim, he samples 9 different counties and records the average price of electricity in each county from each year. He then adjusts the prices for inflation. His results are given in the following table. Test the economist’s claim at the 0.10 level of significance assuming that the population distribution of the paired differences is approximately normal. Let prices in 2018 be Population 1 and prices in 2019 be Population 2.

A major credit card company is investigating whether the distribution of the number of credit cards used by its customers has changed from last year to this year. Customers are classified as using 1 card, 2 cards, or more than 2 cards. The company conducts a chi-square goodness-of-fit test to investigate whether there is a change in the distribution of number of cards used from last year to this year. The value of the chi-square test statistic was χ2=7.82 with a corresponding p-value of 0.02. Assuming the conditions for inference were met, which of the following is the correct interpretation of this p-value? There is a 2 percent chance that the company’s claim is correct. A There is a 2 percent chance of obtaining a chi-square value of at least 7.82. B If the null hypothesis were true, there is a 2 percent chance of obtaining a chi-square value of at least 7.82. C If the null hypothesis were true, there is a 2 percent chance that the company’s claim is…
A 5-year study among 601 participants with retinitis pigmentosa assessed the effects of high-dose vitamin A (15,000 IU per day) and vitamin E (400 IU per day) on the course of their disease. One issue is to what extent supplementation with vitamin A affected their serum-retinol levels. The test used to analyze the effects of vitamins assumes that the distribution of serum retinol is approximately normal. To verify this assumption, the investigators obtained a frequency distribution of serum retinol at year O among males in the vitamin A group, with data as shown in the table below. The mean serum retinol for the group was 1.89 and the standard deviation was 0.36. n Serum- retinol group (μmol/L) ≤1.405 6 1.405-1.755 22 1.755-2.105 22 2.105-2.455 20 ≥2.455 3 1. Perform a statistical test to check on the normality assumption. Given your results, do you feel the assumption of normality is warranted? Why or why not?
The average age at which adolescent girls reach their adult height is 16 years. Suppose you have a sample of 29 adolescent girls who are developmentally delayed, and who have an average age at which they reached their adult height of 17.8 years and a sample variance of 77.4 years. You want to test the hypothesis that adolescent girls who are developmentally delayed have a different age at which they reached their adult height than all adolescent girls. In order to calculate the t statistic, you first need to calculate the estimated standard error. The estimated standard error SM= (round to four decimals)
Recently findings have been reported from a prospective cohort study that demonstrated a significant positive association between coffee consumption and increased risk of coronary heart disease. The authors reported a 21/2 fold increased risk among those drinking 5 or more cups of coffee daily, with a 95% CI from 1.08 to 5.77. Based on these data, PH office recommended people limit their coffee drinking to 2 cups or less per day. On what basis do you agree or disagree with this recommendation?

To test his claim, he samples 9 different counties and records the average price of electricity in each county from each year. He then adjusts the prices for inflation. His results are given in the following table. Test the economist’s claim at the 0.05 level of significance assuming that the population distribution of the paired differences is approximately normal.

The manufacturer of a sports car claims that the fuel injection system lasts 48 months before it needs to be replaced. A consumer group tests this claim by surveying a random sample of 10 owners who nad the fuel injection system replaced. The ages of the cars at the time of replacement were (in months):
Many states have attempted to reduce the blood-alcohol level at which a driver is declared to be legally drunk. There has been resistance to this change in the law by certain business groups who have argued that the current limit is adequate. A study was conducted to demonstrate the effect on reaction time of a blood-alcohol level of .1%, the current limit in many states. A random sample of 25 persons of legal driving age had their reaction time recorded in a standard laboratory test procedure before and after drinking a sufficient amount of alcohol to raise their blood alcohol to a .1% level. The difference (After − Before) in their reaction times in seconds was provided in data 2. Graph the data and assess whether the population has a normal distribution. Is there sufficient evidence that a blood-alcohol level of .1% causes any increase in the mean reaction time?
