A study of parental empathy for sensitivity cues and baby temperament (higher scores mean more empathy) was performed. Let x1 be a random variable that represents the score of a mother on an empathy test (as regards her baby). Let x2 be the empathy score of a father. A random sample of 30 mothers gave a sample mean of x, = 67.85. Another random sample of 25 fathers gave x2 = 61.72. Assume that o1 = 10.85 and oz = 10.57. (a) Let µz be the population mean of x, and let uz be the population mean of x2. Find a 90% confidence interval for H1 - H2. (Use 2 decimal places.) lower limit upper limit

In the general population, the mean IQ score is 100, with standarddeviation σ = 15. A random sample of 36 newly tested incoming students atCommunity College revealed a sample mean IQ of 104.5. Does this sample givegood evidence (at a 5% level of significance) that the mean IQ of allincoming students is different from 100?
Citrus Rental is a popular car rental agency that has a history of having too few cars available, so that its available cars are overdriven. The mean monthly mileage over the years for Citrus cars has been about 1550 miles per month. Recently, though, Citrus purchased thousands of new cars, and the company claims that the average mileage of its cars is now less than in the past. To test this, a random sample of 15 recent mileages of Citrus cars was taken. The mean of these 15 mileages was 1517 miles per month, and the standard deviation was 201 miles per month. Assume that the population of recent monthly mileages of Citrus cars is normally distributed. At the 0.05 level of significance, can it be concluded that the mean recent monthly mileage, μ, of Citrus cars is less than 1550 miles per month? Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below.
A company manufactures tennis balls. When its tennis balls are dropped onto a concrete surface from a height of 100 inches, the company wants the mean height the balls bounce upward to be 54.8 inches. This average is maintained by periodically testing random samples of 25 tennis balls. If the t-value falls between −t0.95 and t0.95, then the company will be satisfied that it is manufacturing acceptable tennis balls. A sample of 25 balls is randomly selected and tested. The mean bounce height of the sample is 56.3 inches and the standard deviation is 0.25 inch. Assume the bounce heights are approximately normally distributed. Is the company making acceptable tennis balls?
In the US, 42.3% of all people have type O blood, 40.8% have type A blood, 12% have type B blood and 4.9% have type AB blood. A researcher wants to see if the distribution of blood type is different for millionaires. The table below shows the results of a random sample of 897 millionaires. What can be concluded at the significant level of a = 0.1. For this study, we should use [x²GOF-Test Your friend Henry helped you with the null and alternative hypotheses... Ho: The distributions of blood types are the same between the general population and the millionaires.

The Wilcoxon signed-rank test can be used to perform a hypothesis test for a population median, η, as well as for a population mean, µ. Why is that so?
According to a certain government agency for a large country, the proportion of fatal traffic accidents in the country in which the driver had a positive blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is 0.34. Suppose a random sample of 109 traffic fatalities in a certain region results in 50 that involved a positive BAC. Does the sample evidence suggest that the region has a higher proportion of traffic fatalities involving a positive BAC than the country at the x = 0.01 level of significance? Because npo (1-Po) = 24.5 > 10, the sample size is (Round to one decimal place as needed.) What are the null and alternative hypotheses? p = 0.34 versus H₁: p > 0.34 Ho: p (Type integers or decimals. Do not round.) Find the test statistic, Zo. Zo = 2.62 (Round to two decimal places as needed.) Find the P-value. P-value = (Round to three decimal places as needed.) less than 5% of the population size, and the sample is given to be random, the requirements for testing the hypothesis are satisfied.

Data from the Department of Motor Vehicles indicate that 80% of all licensed drivers are older than age 25. In a sample of n = 50 people who recently received speeding tickets, 33 were older than age 25 and the other 17 were age 25 or younger. Is the age distribution for this sample significantly different from the distribution for the population of licensed drivers? Use alpha = .05. In a sample of n = 50 people who recently received parking tickets, 36 were older than age 25 and the other 14 were age 25 or younger. Is the age distribution for this sample significantly different from the distribution for the population of licensed drivers? Use alpha = .05.

Does the confidence interval contain all positive, all negative, or both positive and negative numbers? What does this tell you about the relationship between average empathy scores for mothers compared with those for fathers at the 99% confidence level? Because the interval contains only…
Citrus Rental is a popular car rental agency that has a history of having too few cars available, so that its available cars are overdriven. The mean monthly mileage over the years for Citrus cars has been about 1600 miles per month. Recently, though, Citrus purchased thousands of new cars, and the company claims that the average mileage of its cars is now less than in the past. To test this, a random sample of 16 recent mileages of Citrus cars was taken. The mean of these 16 mileages was 1517 miles per month, and the standard deviation was 233 miles per month. Assume that the population of recent monthly mileages of Citrus cars is normally distributed.

Albumin is a liver protein that helps circulate vitamins throughout the body. Reduced Albumin has been associated with severe illness with Covid-19 patients. Suppose we wanted to conduct a study to compare the mean Albumin concentration (g/L) between a sample of adult patients hospitalized for Covid 19 (Sample Mean= 32.8, s=6.0) to the mean albumin concentration (g/L) of healthy adults (u=34.1, o=7.13). How many patients would need to enroll from the hospital to conduct this study with 99% confidence, and 80% power? A. 267 B. 120 C. 352 D. 225
