A study was conducted at a well known sleep laboratory to compare the average brain wave activity (during the hours from 4 am to 6 am) between college students who drank .5 liter of red wine before bedtime (population 1) and college students who had no alcohol before bedtime (population 2). All participants went to sleep at 11 pm. For the random sample of 6 students who were given the red wine before bedtime, the average brain wave activity was 22.1. For the random sample of 8 students who had no alcohol before bedtime, the average brain wave was 8.3. Find the limits for the 95% confidence interval for l1 - µ2. The margin error for calculating this interval is 2.1 What is the Lower Confidence Limit for the interval? Round to the 10ths place. You must show your work to receive credit. What is the Upper Confidence Limit for the interval? Round to the 10ths place. You must show your work to receive credit.

Researchers conducted trials to investigate the effects of color on creativity. Subjects with a red background were asked to think of creative uses for a brick; other subjects with a blue background were given the same task. Responses were scored by a panel of judges and results from scores of creativity are given in the accompanying table. Higher scores correspond to more creativity. The researchers make the claim that "blue enhances performance on a creative task." 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.

A random selection of volunteers at a research institute has been exposed to a weak flu virus. After the volunteers began to have flu symptoms, 20 of them were given multivitamin tablets daily that contained 1 gram of vitamin C and 3 grams of various other vitamins and minerals. The remaining 20 volunteers were given tablets containing 4 grams of vitamin C only. For each individual, the length of time taken to recover from the flu was recorded. At the end of the experiment the following data were obtained.

A random sample of n1 = 157 people ages 16 to 19 were taken from the island of Oahu, Hawaii, and 12 were found to be high school dropouts. Another random sample of n2 = 129 people ages 16 to 19 were taken from Sweetwater County, Wyoming, and 6 were found to be high school dropouts. Do these data indicate that the population proportion of high school dropouts on Oahu is different (either way) from that of Sweetwater County? Use a 1% level of significance. (a) What is the level of significance? What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Test the difference p1 − p2. Do not use rounded values. Round your final answer to two decimal places.) (c) Find (or estimate) the P-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
In a previous poll, 38% of adults with children under the age of 18 reported that their family ate dinner together seven nights a week. Suppose that, in a more recent poll, 1186 adults with children under the age of 18 were selected at random, and 428 of those 1186 adults reported that their family ate dinner together seven nights a week. Is there sufficient evidence that the proportion of families with children under the age of 18 who eat dinner together seven nights a week has decreased? Use the α = 0.01 significance level.

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 0.38. Suppose a random sample of 105 traffic fatalities in a certain region results in 51 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 a = 0.01 level of significance?

Fifteen years ago, a complete survey of all undergraduate students at a large University indicated that the average student smoked 7.7 cigarettes per day. Th director of the student health center wishes to determine whether the incidence of cigarette smoking at his University has lessened over the fifteen year period. He obtains the following results (in cigarettes smoked per day) from a random sample of 9 students. 6.1, 9.2, 5, 6.3, 4.8, 3.2, 7.6, 8.1, 9. Test the null hypothesis at the .05 level significane.
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.

A researcher conducts a between-subjects study to determine whether low levels of the neurochemical serotonin leads to an increase in aggression. One sample of rats serves as a control group and receives a placebo that does not affect normal levels of serotonin. A second sample of rats receives a drug that lowers brain levels of serotonin. Using an alpha level of a = .05, the researcher then tests the animals by recording the number of aggressive responses each of the rats display. The data are as follows: a.) Step 1: State the Hypotheses Ho: H₁: Control n = 10 M = 14 SS=180.5 b.) Step 2: Determine the critical region and draw it on the distribution above: df = > *critical SM₁-M₂ Low Serotonin n = 15 M = 19 SS = 130.0 c.)

A study in a journal published by the American Academy of Pediatrics (as reported in the Miami Herald, Jan. 14, 1997) seems to suggest that preschoolers who drink more than 12 ounces of fruit juice a day tend to be heavier and shorter than preschoolers who do not. The study involved a random sample of 168 healthy youngsters of whom 59 drank on average more than 12 ounces of fruit juice per day. Each child was weighed and measured. The measurements were then converted to percentage of normal height and weight for a child of that age and gender. For example, a weight percentage of 1.1 indicates that the child is 10% heavier than average. A recorded 0.80 indicates the child is 20% below the average. An average weight is recorded as 1.0. Same with height. Column 1: Juice 1- indicates child DID drink > 12 oz 2- child DID NOT drink > 12 oz Column 2: Weight% weight converted to percent of…
