A researcher claims that the amounts of acetaminophen in a certain brand of cold tablets have a mean different than the 600mg claimed by the manufacturer. Test this claim at the .01 significance level. The mean acetaminophen content for a random sample of n = 29 tablets is 597.9 mg with a standard deviation of 3.8 mg. What are the hypotheses? What is the test statistic? Is it a z or a t? Find the P-value for this test statistic. How does it compare to the significance level? On the normal curve, indicate the location of the test statistic and the p-value. (label them on the graph) Write a conclusion in statistical terms and relate it to the parameters of this problem.
A century ago, the average height of adult women in the United States was 63 inches. Researchers believe that the average might be greater today. A random sample of 40 adult women was selected from the population. The sample had mean 64.2 inches and standard deviation 2.9 inches. Assuming all conditions for inference are met, the researchers will perform an appropriate hypothesis test to investigate their belief. Which of the following is the correct test statistic for the hypothesis test? A t = 63-64.2 2.9 63-64.2 2.9 t 3= 63-64.2 29 40 64.2-63 t 3= 2.9 64.2-63 t = 2.9 US 1 DELL 么 & %24 %23 || E.
In a random sample of males, it was found that 24 write with their left hands and 219 do not. In a random sample of females, it was found that 60 write with their left hands and 459 do not. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the rate of left-handedness among males is less than that among females. Complete parts (a) through (c) below. O Identify the test statistic. (Round to two decimal places as needed.) Identify the P-value. P-value= (Round to three decimal places as needed.) What is the conclusion based on the hypothesis test? The P-value is the significance level of a= 0.01, so males is less than that among females. HEDD the null hypothesis. There evidence to support the claim that the rate of left-handedness among
A sample of 100 observations from a normal population has a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 10. The null hypothesis is that the population mean is equal to 48, and the alternative hypothesis is that the population mean is greater than 48. Using a significance level of 0.05, what is the decision and conclusion of the hypothesis test?
When 40 people used the Weight Watchers dies for one year, their mean weight loss was 3.0 lb and the standard deviation was 4.9 lb. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the mean weight loss is greater than 0. (Show the solution) A. The null hypothesis is i. The mean weight loss is equal to 0. ii. The mean weight loss is not equal to 0. iii. The mean weight loss is greater than 0. iv. The mean weight loss is less than 0. B.

State the null and alternative hypotheses. John, a restaurant owner, suspects that prices of tomatoes in Bury are higher than the rest of Manchester. He finds that the city average price of a certain type of premium tomatoes is £20.9 with standard deviation £0.95. He takes a sample of this type of tomato from 5 local Bury stores and obtains an average price of £22.46.
Suppose we are contracted by the Justice Department to study the extent of juvenile delinquency. We take a random sample of 100 juveniles, and we find that the mean number of crimes committed is 12 with a standard deviation of 7. Test the null hypothesis that the mean number of crimes committed by the population of juveniles is less than or equal to 11. Use a significance level of .05. (Be sure to show the numeric results that lead to your decision.) Do we reject the null hypothesis here? why or why not.
A study was done on body temperatures of men and women. The results are shown in the table. Assume that the two samples are independent simple random samples selected from normally distributed populations, and do not assume that the population standard deviations are equal. Complete parts (a) and (b) below. Use a 0.01 significance level for both parts. a. Test the claim that the two samples are from populations with the same mean. What are the null and alternative hypotheses? What is the test statistic, t? What is the P-value? State the conclusion for the test. b. Construct a confidence interval suitable for testing the claim that the two samples are from populations with the same mean.
As Director of Admissions at Garden Valley University, you believe that the average age of full-time students (Group 1) is less than the average age of part-time students (Group 2). You sample 45 full-time students, and the sample mean age is 22.3 with a standard deviation of 4.8. You sample 50 part-time students, and the sample mean age is 24.3 with a standard deviation of 5.6.

The average American consumes 89 liters of alcohol per year. Does the average college student consume less alcohol per year? A researcher surveyed 15 randomly selected college students and found that they averaged 87.3 liters of alcohol consumed per year with a standard deviation of 15 liters. What can be concluded at the the a = 0.05 level of significance? a. For this study, we should use Select an answer b. The null and alternative hypotheses would be: Но: ?
