A study found that mice exposed to light at night gained substantially more weight than mice who had complete darkness at night, despite the fact that calorie intake and activity levels were the same for the two groups. How large is the effect of light on weight gain? In the study, 27 mice were randomly divided into two groups. The 8 mice with darkness at night gained an average of 5.9 grams in body mass, with a standard deviation of 1.9 grams. The 19 mice with light at night gained an average of 9.4 grams with a standard deviation of 3.2 grams. We see in Figure 1 that there is no extreme skewness or extreme outliers, so it is appropriate to use a t- distribution. : 4 6. 8 10 12 14 16 18 BM Gain Figure 1 Does light at night affect body mass gain?

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.) State the distribution to use for the test. (Enter your answer in the form z or tdf where df is the degrees of freedom. Round your answer to two decimal places.)
The Mayo clinic states that healthy cholesterol levels are below 200 mg/dL. You sample 64 middle-aged men who do not exercise and do not watch their diet. You do blood panels on each person and find that for the group the average cholesterol level is 260 with a standard deviation of 40. Use an alpha of .05 and a two-tailed test. Complete all 4 steps of hypothesis testing. Step 1: Which test was used: Hypothesis: Step 2: Step 3: Calculations Step 4: Interpretation
Do political science classes require less writing than history classes? The 47 randomly selected political science classes assigned an average of 14.1 pages of essay writing for the course. The standard deviation for these 47 classes was 4.7 pages. The 50 randomly selected history classes assigned an average of 16.1 pages of essay writing for the course. The standard deviation for these 50 classes was 4.5 pages. What can be concluded at the αα = 0.10 level of significance? For this study, we should use Select an answer t-test for the difference between two independent population means z-test for a population proportion t-test for the difference between two dependent population means t-test for a population mean z-test for the difference between two population proportions Incorrect The null and alternative hypotheses would be: H0:H0: Select an answer μ1 p1 Correct Select an answer < > = ≠ Correct Select an answer p2 μ2 Correct H1:H1: Select an answer μ1 p1 Correct…
A study was designed to compare the attitudes of two groups of nursing students towards computers. Group 1 had previously taken a statistical methods course that involved significant computer interaction. Group 2 had taken a statistic methods course that did not use computers. The students' attitudes were measured by administering the Computer Anxiety Rating Scale (CARS). A random sample of 12 nursing students from Group 1 resulted in a mean score of 54.7 with a standard deviation of 6. A random sample of 15 nursing students from Group 2 resulted in a mean score of 66.6 with a standard deviation of 3. Can you conclude that the mean score for Group 1 is significantly lower than the mean score for Group 2? Let μ₁ represent the mean score for Group 1 and μ₂ represent the mean score for Group 2. Use a significance level of a = 0.1 for the test. Assume that the population variances are equal and that the two populations are normally distributed. Step 1 of 4: State the null and alternative…
In a sample of 50 business trips taken by employees in the HR department, a company finds that the average amount spent for the trips was $1450 with a standard deviation of $450. In a sample of 80 trips taken by the employees in the sales department is $1650 with a standard deviation of $700. When testing the hypothesis (at the 5% level of significance) that the variance of the amount spent on trips is significantly larger in one department than the other, what is the null and alternative hypotheses?
A researcher is interested in examining the difference in the average egg incubation temperature of two lizards in North Carolina, the native green anoles versus the invasive brown anoles. To investigate this, she takes two random samples from both of the lizard populations and calculates the average egg incubation temperature, standard deviation, and sample size for each of the two samples. The average incubation temperature for the 25 sampled brown anoles is 83.2 degrees Fahrenheit, with a sample standard deviation of 20.2 degrees Fahrenheit. The average incubation temperature the 28 samples green anoles is 80.1 degrees Fahrenheit, with a sample standard deviation of 17.4 degrees Fahrenheit. She has also determined that the two samples do not exhibit strong skewness and appear approximately normal. Determine the appropriate t∗ critical value for a 99% confidence interval for the difference between the true mean incubation temperatures for the two different anole species, μ1−μ2.…
Ackerman and Goldsmith (2011) found that students who studied text from printed hardcopy had better test scores than students who studied text presented on the screen. In a related study, a professor noticed that several students in a large class had purchased the e-book version of the course textbook. For the final exam, the overall average for the entire class was μ= 81.7, but the sample of n = 9 students who used e-books had a mean of M = 77.2 with ((SS =392) Is the sample sufficient to conclude that scores for students using e-books were sufficiently different from scores for the regular class? Use a two-tail test with α= .01.(not .05). n = df = M = μ = SS = s2 = sM b. State the hypotheses and select alpha c. Locate critical region for stated alpha d. Compute test statistic (t-score)Sample variance s²:Estimated standard error sₘ:Computed t statistic: e. Make a decision about the null hypothesis and state a conclusion.
Callahan (2009) demonstrated that Tai Chi can significantly reduce symptoms for individuals with arthritis. Participants were 18 years old or older with doctor-diagnosed arthritis. Self-reports of pain and stiffness were measured at the beginning of an 8-week Tai Chi course and again at the end. Suppose that the data produced an average decrease in pain and stiffness of MD = 8.5 points with a standard deviation of 21.5 for a sample of n = 40 participants. a. Use a two-tailed test with α = .05 to determine whether the Tai Chi had a significant effect on pain and stiffness. b. Compute Cohen’s d to measure the size of the treatment effect.

An engineer is comparing voltages for two types of batteries (K and Q) using a sample of 35 type K batteries and a sample of 44 type Q batteries. The type K batteries have a mean voltage of 8.56, and the population standard deviation is known to be 0.565. The type Q batteries have a mean voltage of 8.74, and the population standard deviation is known to be 0.307. Conduct a hypothesis test for the conjecture that the mean voltage for these two types of batteries is different. Let µj be the true mean voltage for type K batteries and µ2 be the true mean voltage for type Q batteries. Use a 0.05 level of significance. Step 3 of 4: Determine the decision rule for rejecting the null hypothesis Ho. Round the numerical portion of your answer to two decimal places.
Research has shown that, for baseball players, good hip range of motion results in improved performance and decreased body stress. A research article reported on a study of independent samples of 40 professional pitchers and 40 professional position players. For the pitchers, the sample mean hip range of motion was 75.8 degrees and the sample standard deviation was 5.6 degrees, whereas the sample mean and sample standard deviation for position players were 79.9 degrees and 7.2 degrees, respectively. Assuming that the two samples are representative of professional baseball pitchers and position players, test hypotheses appropriate for determining if there is convincing evidence that the mean range of motion for pitchers is less than the mean for position players. (Use ? = 0.05. Use ?1 for pitchers and ?2 for position players.)
A study compared the long-term results of two treatments: a modified Burch procedure, and a sling procedure for stress incontinence with a low-pressure urethra. Thirty-six women took part in the study with 19 in the Burch treatment group and 17 in the sling procedure treatment group. One of the outcome measures at three months post-surgery was maximum urethral closure pressure (cm H2O). In the Burch group the mean and standard deviation were 16.4 and 8.2 cm, respectively. In the sling group, the mean and standard deviation were 39.8 and 23.0, respectively. Construct the 99% confidence interval for the difference in mean maximum urethral closure pressure for the two populations represented by these subjects. What is the critical value of the confidence interval for difference in means? what is the lower bound of a 99% confidence interval for the difference in means? (Burch-Sling) what is the upper bound of a 99% confidence interval for the difference in means? (Birch-Sling)
