The average age of all licensed drivers in a county is 42.60 with a standard deviation of 12, and the distribution is approximately normal. A county police officer was interested in whether the average age of drivers receiving speeding tickets differed from the average age of the driving population in the county. She obtained a sample of N = 16 drivers receiving speeding tickets. The average age for this sample was M = 34.40. Perform ALL of the steps of hypothesis testing necessary to determine whether this group differs from the population of drivers in the county.
A nutritionist wants to investigate whether her new diet will be effective in helping women aged 30-40 to lose weight. She will use a paired sample to determine whether the mean weight of women before going on this diet is greater than the mean weight of women after being on this diet for two months. Determine the null and alternative hypotheses for the proposed hypothesis test. O A. Let μ₁ denote the mean weight of women before going on this diet and let μ₂ denote the mean weight of women who have been on this diet for two months. The null and alternative hypotheses are Ho: H₁ H2 and Ha: H₁ H₂. O D. Let μ₁ denote the mean weight of women before going on this diet and let μ₂ denote the mean weight of women who have been on this diet for two months. The null and alternative hypotheses are Ho: H₁ H2 and Ha: H₁ H₂.
You are a researcher verifying the claim that the average adult consumes 1.7 cups of coffee per day. The population standard deviation is 0.5 cups per day. You sample 30 adults and find the average is 1.85 cups per day. Test the claim above at the alpha = 0.05 significance level. What do you conclude about the number of cups of coffee that adults consume each day? Group of answer choices - You cannot reject the null hypothesis. Even though your sample indicated 1.85 cups, there still is not sufficient evidence to overturn the claim that adults consume 1.7 cups per day. - This is a borderline case where the test statistic and the critical values are the same. We can neither accept nor reject the null hypothesis in this case. - You reject the null hypothesis. With thirty people consuming 1.85 cups on average , there is sufficient evidence to overturn the claim that adults consume 1.7 cups per day.
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.
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
A coach believes that her volleyball team is more athletic than the average volleyball team in America. (Think of that as her research hypothesis.) We know that the average volleyball team in America has a score of 100 on the Standard Test for Athleticism (the STA; not to be confused with the SAT). The coach tests her 25 players and gets an average STA score for them of 109, with a standard deviation of 15. The coach sets her alpha level at .05. Given the results of her study, what decision should she make? Reject the null hypothesis, since she knows that her team plays so well. Reject the null hypothesis, since the mean is above 100 Reject the null hypothesis, since the inferential Z-score is greater than the critical value when alpha is at .05 Do not reject the null hypothesis; the results are likely due to chance factors.
Assume that a simple random sample has been selected from a normally distributed population and test the given claim. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses, P-value, and state the final conclusion that addresses the original claim. A simple random sample of 25 filtered 100 mm cigarettes is obtained, and the tar content of each cigarette is measured. The sample has a mean of 19.4 mg and a standard deviation of 3.61 mg. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the mean tar content of filtered 100 mm cigarettes is less than 21.1 mg, which is the mean for unfiltered king size cigarettes. What do the results suggest about the effectiveness of the filters? a) What are the hypotheses? b) Identify the P-value. c) State the final conclusion. A. Fail to reject H0. There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the mean tar content of filtered 100 mm cigarettes is less than 21.1 mg. B. Fail to reject H0. There is insufficient evidence to support…

Sony would like to test the hypothesis that the average age of a PlayStation user is different from the average age of an Xbox user. A random sample of 32 PlayStation users had an average age of 33.7 years while a random sample of 36 Xbox users had an average age of 35.6 years. Assume that the population standard deviation for the age of PlayStation and Xbox users is 3.7 and 3.5 years, respectively. Sony would like to set alpha is 0.10.
