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?
Justine is an analyst for a sleep study center. She believes that the average adult in a certain city spends more than 7.2 hours sleeping daily. To test this claim, she selects a random sample of 63 adults from the city. The following is the data from this study: The alternative hypothesis Ha:μ>7.2. The sample mean number of hours slept per night by the 63 adults is 7.52 hours. The sample standard deviation is 1.14 hours. The test statistic is calculated as 2.23. Using the information above and the portion of the t− table below, choose the correct p− value and interpretation for this hypothesis test.

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 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.
The producers of a new toothpaste claim that it prevents more cavities than other brands of toothpaste. A random sample of 60 people used the new toothpaste for 6 months. The mean number of cavities at their next checkup is 1.5. In the general population, the mean number of cavities at a 6-month checkup is 1.73 (σ= 1.12) . Is this a one-or two-tailed test? What are H0 and Ha for this study?
A random sample of 49 cans of soda is obtained and the contents are measured. The sample mean is 12.01 oz and the standard deviation is 0.13 oz. Test the claim that the contents of all such cans have a mean different from 12.00 oz, as indicated by the label. Use a 0.05 significance level. Find the Z score And the P value. Do you reject the hypothesis?
65 homeless people in San Jose were asked their age. The sample mean age was 33.2 years. Let x be a random variable representing ages of homeless people in San Jose. Assume that x has a normal distribution and o = 7.3 years. Do the data indicate that the mean age of the population of homeless people in San Jose is less than 35 years old? Use a = 0.05. Identify the following in your answer. 1. Identify the null hypothesis Ho and alternate hypotheses H, for the problem. 2. Identify the sample statistic, test statistic, p-value and calculator key used: Sample Statistic (sample mean) (Stated in problem) = Test Statistic (z) (Round to two decimal places) %3D P-value: (Round to four decimal places) = Calculator key used: 3. Identify the significance level and determine if you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis. significance level = Do you reject or fail to reject Ho ? 4. State your conclusion.

An engineer is comparing voltages for two types of batteries (K and Q) using a sample of 3939 type K batteries and a sample of 5757 type Q batteries. The mean voltage is measured as 8.558.55 for the type K batteries with a standard deviation of 0.6830.683, and the mean voltage is 8.828.82 for type Q batteries with a standard deviation of 0.7910.791. Conduct a hypothesis test for the conjecture that the mean voltage for these two types of batteries is different. Let μ1μ1 be the true mean voltage for type K batteries and μ2μ2 be the true mean voltage for type Q batteries. Use a 0.020.02 level of significance. Step 3 of 4 : Determine the decision rule for rejecting the null hypothesis H0H0. Round the numerical portion of your answer to two decimal places
A powder diet is tested on 49 people and a liquid diet is tested on 36 different people. Of interest is whether the liquid diet yields a higher average weight loss than the powder diet. The powder diet group had an average weight loss of 42 pounds with a standard deviation of 12 pounds. The liquid diet group had an average weight loss of 45 pounds with a standard deviation of 14 pounds. Conduct a hypothesis test at the 5% level. NOTE: If you are using a Student's t-distribution for the problem, including for paired data, you may assume that the underlying population is normally distributed. (In general, you must first prove that assumption, though.) What is the test statistic? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
According to a large oil company, the average cost per barrel of oil last year was $47. You believe that due to the current oil crisis in Russia and Iran that the cost of a barrel of oil has decreased. You collect a simple random sample of 60 barrels of oil and find an average price of $42 and a standard deviation of $12. Use this information to answer the following questions and conduct the hypothesis test with a level of significance of a = .01. You may use Statcrunch or a calculator. Write all non-calculation answers in complete sentences. a. Which test would you use and why? b. Write the null and alternative hypothesis in complete sentences.

The College Board reports that the scores on the math SAT were normally distributed with a mean of 525. A random sample of 15 students at your high school had a mean of 550 and a sample standard deviation of 105. What values of the sample mean would lead to rejection of the null hypothesis at the 0.01 level of significance?
The school nurse thinks the average height of 10th graders have increased. The average height of a 10th grader five years ago was 145 cm with a standard deviation of 20 cm. She takes a random sample of 200 students and finds that the average height of her sample is 147 cm. Are 10th graders now taller than they were before? Conduct a hypothesis test using a .05 significance level.
