A sample of 10 North Seattle College students produces an av- erage IQ of 95 with a sample standard deviation of 9. A sample of 12 South Seattle College students produces an average IQ of 93 with a sam- ple standard deviation of 13. Assuming the population variances are equal (and both populations are normally distributed), is there enough evidence at the 5% level to say that the population IQ's are different? Use the rejection region method.

An educator has developed a program to improve math scores on the Texas STAAR test. The average STAAR mathematics test for the third graders in the district was mean of 1472. A sample of n=30 third graders took the new math training program before taking the STAAR Math test. The average score for the students was M= 1497 with a standard deviation of 145. (note the standard deviaiton is not a variance). Was there a significant change in test scores (Use standard deviaiton = 0.05, two tailed test). Determine the t crit value.
During 2008, college work-study students earned a mean of $1478. Assume that a sample consisting of 25 of the work-study students at a large university was found to have earned a mean of $1503 during that year, with a standard deviation of $210. At the 0.05 level of significance, can we suggest that the average earnings of this university’s work-study students were significantly higher than the national mean? The null and alternative hypotheses that can be used to suggest that the average earnings of this university’s work-study students were significantly higher than the national mean. Compute the value of the test statistic.
A lumber company is making boards that are 2599.0 millimeters tall. If the boards are too long they must be trimmed, and if the boards are too short they cannot be used. A sample of 23 is made, and it is found that they have a mean of 2600.3 millimeters with a standard deviation of 13.0 A level of significance of 0.05 will be used to determine if the boards are either too long or too short. Assume the population distribution is approximately normal. Find the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to three decimal places.
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
An auto manufacturer claims that its new 4-cylinder Hybrid auto with manual shift averages 50 mpg under city driving conditions. A Federal Agency believes this claim is too high and decides to randomly test 25 of the manufacturer's 4-cylinder Hybrid autos with manual shift, The Agency determines the mean average mpg for the sample to be 48 with a sample standard deviation of 4 mpg under city driving conditions. The standard error for this test is: a. -2.50 Ob.0.009 c. 2.50 Od.4 O e.0.80 e. 0.80
A lumber company is making boards that are 2777.0 millimeters tall. If the boards are too long they must be trimmed, and if the boards are too short they cannot be used. A sample of 29 is made, and it is found that they have a mean of 2780.9 millimeters with a standard deviation of 12.0. A level of significance of 0.1 will be used to determine if the boards are either too long or too short. Assume the population distribution is approximately normal. Find the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to three decimal places.
