Given that the researcher wants to be sure the mean difference in the change in hemoglobin levels has a margin of error no more than 0.2 g/dL and the difference in the stand deviation between the mean hemoglobin levels for the two forms of iron supplements used to treat anemia is 1.2 g/dL, what is the desired number of recruits for the study, assuming the individuals will participate in a crossover trial, if the study’s attrition rate is expected to be .25? Group of answer choices n = 139 n = 554 n = 185 n = 55,320
It is known that, nationally, doctors working for HMOs average 13.5 years of experience in their specialties, with a standard deviation of 7.6 years. The distribution is a normal distribution. The executive director of an HMO in a western state is interested in determining whether or not its doctors have less experience than the national average. A random sample of 64 doctors from the HMO shows a mean of only 10.9 years of experience. State the research and null hypotheses to test whether or not doctors in this HMO have less experience than the national average at α = .05.
Researchers from a certain country were interested in how characteristics of the spleen of residents in their tropical environment compare to those found elsewhere in the world. The researchers randomly sampled 93 males and 107 females in their country. The mean and standard deviation of the spleen lengths for the males were 10.8 cm and 0.9 cm, respectively, and those for the females were 10.2 cm and 0.7 cm, respectively. At the 5% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that a difference exists in the mean spleen lengths of males and females in the country?

A number of 28 university students who smokes completed a questionnaire inquiring their smoking history and behavior. The result shows that the average smoking initiation age of this group is 21.6 years with a variance of 18.49. Based on past record, the smoking initiation age of university student has a mean of 20.74 years with a standard deviation of 5.1 years. Conduct a necessary analysis to determine if the smoking initiation age remain the same as the previous record. Use 4% level of significance.
Researchers are interested in the effect of pet companionship on depression in elderly adults. They randomly select 25 participants from the target population and record their depression scores before and after spending a month with a dog (a higher score indicates a higher level of depression). The researchers then compute the difference scores for each participant (difference after before). The mean of differences is -1 and the standard deviation of differences is 2. Can the researchers conclude that there is an effect of pet companionship on depression in elderly adults? Conduct the appropriate statistical test (two-tailed) with a = .05. Should you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis? Reject O Fail to reject
A study was designed to investigate the effects of two variables - (1) a studentʹs level of mathematical anxiety (2) teaching method - on a studentʹs achievement in a mathematics course. Students who had a low level of mathematical anxiety were taught using the traditional expository method. These students obtained a mean score of 290 with a standard deviation of 50 on a standardized test. Assuming no information concerning the shape of the distribution is known, what percentage of the students scored between 190 and 390? Group of answer choices At least 68% At least 95% At least 75% At least 88.9%
A study has been made to compare the nicotine contents of two brands of cigarettes. Ten cigarettes of Brand A had an average nicotine content of 4.3 milligrams with a standard deviation of 0.6 milligram. Eight cigarettes of Brand B had an average nicotine content of 3 milligrams with a standard deviation of 0.4 milligram. Assume that the two sets of data are independent random samples from normal populations with equal variances. Answer the following, and round off your answer to three decimal places. (a) Find a pooled estimate of the population standard deviation. (b) Construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference between the mean nicotine contents of the two brands of cigarettes. (☐☐)
Bone mineral density (BMD) is a measure of bone strength. Studies show that BMD declines after age 45. The impact of exercise may increase BMD. A random sample of 59 women between the ages of 41 and 45 with no major health problems were studied. The women were classified into one of two groups based upon their level of exercise activity: walking women and sedentary women. The 39 women who walked regularly had a mean BMD of 5.96 with a standard deviation of 1.22. The 20 women who are sedentary had a mean BMD of 4.41 with a standard deviation of 1.02. Which of the following inference procedures could be used to estimate the difference in the mean BMD for these two types of women
Pilots who cannot maintain regular sleep hours due to their work schedule often suffer from insomnia. A recent study on sleeping patterns of pilots focused on quantifying deviations from regular sleep hours. A random sample of 28 commercial airline pilots was interviewed, and the pilots in the sample reported the time at which they went to sleep on their most recent working day. The study gave the sample mean and standard deviation of the times reported by pilots, with these times measured in hours after midnight. (Thus, if the pilot reported going to sleep at p.m., the measurement was -1.) The sample mean was 0.8 hours, and the standard deviation was 1.6 hours. Assume that the sample is drawn from a normally distributed population. Find a 90% confidence interval for the population standard deviation, that is, the standard deviation of the time (hours after midnight) at which pilots go to sleep on their work days. Then give its lower limit and upper limit.
An educational consulting group claims that there is a difference in the mean student loan debt of students who attended private four-year colleges and the mean student loan debt of students who attended out-of-state public four-year colleges. Student loan debt of 10 randomly selected students who attended private four-year colleges and 10 randomly selected students who attended out-of-state public four-year colleges, at the time of graduating college, are recorded. Assume that the population standard deviation of student loan debt is $5,000 for both the private college attendees and the public college attendees, and assume that the distribution of student loan debt is normally distributed for both the private college attendees and the public college attendees. Let the students who attended private four-year colleges be the first sample, and let the students who attended out-of-state public four-year colleges be the second sample. The group conducts a two-mean hypothesis test at the…
The salaries of professional baseball players are heavily skewed right with a mean of $3.2 million and a standard deviation of $2 million. The salaries of professional football players are also heavily skewed right with a mean of $1.9 million and a standard deviation of $1.5 million.

Let -, represent the difference in the mean salaries for baseball and football players. Which of the following represents the shape of the sampling distribution for ,-7,? skewed right since the populations are both right skewed skewed right since the differences in salaries cannot be negative approximately Normal since both sample sizes are greater than 30 approximately Normal since the sum of the sample sizes is greater than 30
