A researcher wants to asses the self-discipline levels among undergraduate and graduate students. A random sample of 300 undergraduate students was selected with average score of 184 and standard deviation of 16 ( group 1). Also , a random sample of 350 graduate students was selected with average score of 153 and standard deviation of 21 ( group 2). Is this enough evidence to conclude that undergraduate students score less, on average than the graduate students. [ assume that the population variances are equals].

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.
An agricultural company is trying to decide which type of fertilizer to use on its crops. The company concerned with the average yield on its crops as well as the variance of their yields. In a sample of 41 different fields with using fertilizer A, the average crop yield per acre is 185 tons with a standard deviation of 35 tons. In a separate sample of 61 different fields using fertilizer B, the average crop yield is 175 tons with a standard deviation of 28 tons. When testing the hypothesis (at the 1% level of significance) that there is no difference between the average yields using the different fertilizers, what is the null and alternative hypotheses?
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?

Medical researchers interested in determining the relative effectiveness of two different drug treatments on people with a chronic mental illness established two independent test groups. The first group consisted of 10 people with the illness, and the second group consisted of 14 people with the illness. The first group received treatment 1 and had a mean time until remission of 185 days, with a standard deviation of 5 days. The second group received treatment 2 and had a mean time until remission of 179 days, with a standard deviation of 8 days. Assume that the populations of times until remission for each of the two treatments are normally distributed with equal variance. Can we conclude, at the 0.05 level of significance, that the mean number of days before remission after treatment 1, μ1 , is greater than the mean number of days before remission after treatment 2, μ2 ? Perform a one-tailed test. Then fill in the table below. Carry your intermediate…

A firm is bidding to provide T-shirts to football players of the CFL. A sample of 11 slotbacks gave a mean weight of 195.0 lb and standard deviation of 14.3 lb. The firm sells a shirt with just enough stretchiness to fit the variation of sizes of quarterbacks. To test if it would be reasonable to assume that this shirt could also fit all of the slotbacks if you know that the mean for quarterbacks is 192.7 lb and the standard deviation for quarterbacks is 11.7 lb : a. Test if the stretchiness of the shirt is sufficient to fit the spread in the size of slotbacks. b. Test if the average size of the shirts will fit the average size of the slotbacks.
Suppose that an independent research company was tasked with testing the validity of complaints against a pesticide manufacturing firm for under-filling their 20 lb bags of pesticide. Past experience has shown that the amount of pesticide dispensed by the machines that fill the bags follows a normal distribution with a mean of 20 lb and a standard deviation of 0.6 lb. To verify the validity of the complaints, a researcher randomly selected 16 of the firm's 20 lb pesticide bags and recorded the following weights. 19.69, 19.5, 18.85, 18.56, 20.23, 20.3, 20.14, 19.11, 19.65, 18.87, 19.22, 19.24, 18.82, 20.23, 20.46, 18.66 If you wish, you may download the data in your preferred format.

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.
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. A random sample of 40 baseball players' salaries and 35 football players' salaries is selected. The mean salary is determined for both samples. 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
A research article reported that for a random sample of 850 meal purchases made at fast food chain A, the mean number of calories was 1,004, and the standard deviation was 489. For a random sample of 2,108 meal purchases made at fast food chain B, the mean number of calories was 905, and the standard deviation was 622. Based on these samples, is there convincing evidence that the mean number of calories in fast food chain B meal purchases is less than the mean number of calories in fast food chain A meal purchases? (Test the relevant hypotheses using a 0.05 level of significance. Use ?1 for fast food chain B and ?2 for fast food chain A.) State the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses. Find the test statistic and P-value. (Use SALT. Round your test statistic to one decimal place and your P-value to three decimal places.) t= P-value= State the conclusion in the problem context.
