A researcher wishes to determine if students are able to complete a certain puzzle more quickly while listening to music. Suppose the mean time to complete this puzzle without listening to music is 30 seconds with a standard deviation of 4 seconds. The researcher has 10,000 randomly selected college students complete the puzzle while listening to music. The mean time for these students is 79.8 seconds. The researcher conducts the following hypothesis test: Ho: = 80 vs. Hap< 80 and calculates a P-value that is less than 0.0001. It is appropriate to conclude which of the following? O With such a large sample size, statistically significant differences may not be of any practical Importance. O The researcher has strong evidence that, for college students, listening to music substantially improves the time to complete the puzzle. O The researcher has proved that for college students, listening to music substantially improves the time to complete a puzzle. O All college students should definitely listen to music when completing the puzzle.

A psychologist believes that it will take at least an hour for certain special child to learn a task. A random sample of 30 of these children results in a mean of 50 minutes to learn a task. Should the psychologist modify her belief at 0.01 level if the population standard deviation can be assumed to be 15 minutes?
It currently takes users a mean of 26 minutes to install the most popular computer program made by RodeTech, a software design company. After changes have been made to the program, the company executives want to know if the new mean is now different from 26 minutes so that they can change their advertising accordingly. A simple random sample of 51 new customers are asked to time how long it takes for them to install the software. The sample mean is 24.9 minutes with a standard deviation of 2.7 minutes. Perform a hypothesis test at the 0.025 level of significance to see if the mean installation time has changed. Step 3 of 3 : Draw a conclusion and interpret the decision.
An energy study found that household use of electricity had a mean of 682 and a standard deviation of 551 kilowatt-hours. Suppose the distribution of energy use was normal. Using a table, calculator, or software that can give normal probabilities, find the proportion of households with electricity use greater than 1000 kilowatt-hours.
A study was conducted to investigate the effect of a new drug on blood pressure. A sample of 25 patients was randomly selected and their blood pressure was measured both before and after taking the drug. The sample mean blood pressure before taking the drug was 120 mmHg and the sample mean blood pressure after taking the drug was 118 mmHg. The sample standard deviation for the blood pressure before taking the drug was 4 mmHg and the sample standard deviation for the blood pressure after taking the drug was 5 mmHg. Test the hypothesis that the average blood pressure after taking the drug is lower than the average blood pressure before taking the drug using a 0.01 level of significance.
Two species of fish have similar phenotypes to each other, researchers wonder if they can classify these fish species based on their sizes. One species has mean size of 10cm, with standard deviation of 1. The other species has mean size of 12cm, with standard deviation of 2. Size of 15 fish from each species were measured. a. Which hypothesis testing method can be used to compare the mean size of the two populations? Perform the test for a = 0.01. How does result of this test help the researchers to decide if they can classify these fish species based on their sizes? b. What is the power of the test? How does power of the test help the researchers to decide if they can classify these fish species based on their sizes?
It currently takes users a mean of 12 minutes to install the most popular computer program made by RodeTech, a software design company. After changes have been made to the program, the company executives want to know if the new mean is now different from 12 minutes so that they can change their advertising accordingly. A simple random sample of 91 new customers are asked to time how long it takes for them to install the software. The sample mean is 11.7 minutes with a standard deviation of 1.6 minutes. Perform a hypothesis test at the 0.05 level of significance to see if the mean installation time has changed. Step 2 of 3 : Compute the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to three decimal places.
A new species of dragonfly has an approximate body length of 45 mm with a standard deviation of 3 mm. In a sample of 40 dragonflies, what is the probability that the sample mean of the body length of the sample is between 44.5 and 45.5?
Seventy million pounds of trout are grown in the U.S. every year. Farm-raised trout contain an average of 32 grams of fat per pound, with a standard deviation of 8 grams of fat per pound. A random sample of 38 farm-raised trout is selected. The mean fat content for the sample is 29.7 grams per pound. Find the probability of observing a sample mean of 29.7 grams of fat per pound or less in a random sample of 38 farm-raised trout. Carry your intermediate computations to at least four decimal places. Round your answer to at least three decimal places.
Researchers asked two groups of people to construct a jigsaw puzzle. One group of 55 people, who listened to soft classical music while working, had a mean construction time of 45 minutes. Another group of 45 people, who worked in silence, had a mean construction time of 55 minutes. Assume the population standard deviations for the construction times for people listening to classical music and people working in silence are 9.5 minutes and 11 minutes, respectively. Find the upper bound of the 99% confidence interval for the difference in population construction times between people listening to classical music as they work and people working in silence. Let the people listening to classical music be the first sample, and let the people working in silence be the second sample. Assume the samples are random and independent. Assume that both the population distributions are normally distributed. Round your answer to two decimal places. 90% confidence=1.645 95% confidence=1.96…
A quiz related to digital knowledge was conducted. The quiz had 10 questions and covered topics such as the purpose of browser cookies, phishing scams, and privacy policies. The survey was given to 50 people. The mean score is 4.1 with a standard deviation of 2.6. We want to know if the data provide evidence that the mean score in the population is lower than 5. We will use alpha = 0.05 to make our decision. What is the null hypothesis for this question? Group of answer choices a. The proportion of people who pass the test is 5. b. The mean test score of the population is 5. c. The mean test score of the 50 people who took the test is 5. d.The standard deviation is 2.6
Suppose that El Camino is studying the average number of hours students study for classes per week. According to research from 2010 El Camino students spent an average of 21 hours a week studying for classes. El Camino wants to study if this average has changed. To do this they take a random sample of 81 current students and find that the average student spent 19.3 hours studying with a standard deviation of 6.4 hours. (Note: You may assume there are approximately 20,000 El Camino students). (a) Carry out a hypothesis test at α = .05 to test the claim that the average number of hours per week that El Camino students study has changed since 2010. (b) Describe what it would mean in this situation to make a Type I error (c) Describe what it would mean in this situation to make a Type II error (d) Construct a 95% confidence interval for the average number of hours studied by El Camino students per week. Make sure to interpret your interval.
