Researchers conducted a study to determine whether magnets are effective in treating back pain. Pain was measured using the visual analog scale, and the results shown below are among the results obtained in the study. Higher scores correspond to greater pain levels. 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) to (c) below. Reduction in Pain Level After Magnet Treatment (μ₁): n = 15, x=0.45, s=1.02 Reduction in Pain Level After Sham Treatment (2): n = 15, x=0.38, s=1.55 a. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that those treated with magnets have a greater mean reduction in pain than those given a sham treatment (similar to a placebo).

The mean tar content of a simple random sample of 25 unfiltered king-size cigarettes is 21.4 mg, with a standard deviation of 3 mg. The mean tar content of a simple random sample of 25 filtered 100-mm cigarettes is 13.0 mg with a standard deviation of 3.8 mg. The accompanying table shows the data.

The average score on a statistics test was 2.21 with a standard deviation of 0.88. The teacher suspects that the exam was very difficult; Based on the above, you want to adjust the scores so that the mean is 3.37 and the standard deviation is 0.25. Compute the values a and b such that the fit of type aX+b gives the desired mean and variance? Calculate: a= Answer b= Answer TIP: Use expected value and variance properties.
