A study was conducted in which two types of engines, X and Y, were compared. Gas mileage, in miles per gallon, was measured. Fifty experiments were conducted using engine type X and 75 experiments were done with engine type Y. The gasoline used and other conditions were held constant. The average gas mileage was 36 miles per gallon for engine X and 42 miles per gallon for engine Y. Find a 96% confidence interval on μY − μX, where μX and μY are population mean gas mileages for engines X and Y, respectively. Assume that the population standard deviations are 6 and 8 for engines X and Y, respectively.

A diabetic person is interested in determining how the amount of aerobic exercise impacts his blood sugar. When blood sugar reaches 170 mg/dl, he goes out for a run at a pace of 10 minutes per mile. On different days, he runs different distances and measures his blood sugar after completing his run. The preferred blood sugar level is in the range of 80 to120 mg/dl. Levels that are too low or too high are extremely dangerous. The data generated are given in the following table: Distance (miles),x Blood sugar(mg/dl gram),y 2 136 2 146 2.5 131 2.5 125 3 120 3 116 3.5 104 3.5 95 4 85 4 94 4.5 83 4.5 75 Based on the scenario above, analyse the data with appropriate statistical methods and describe your findings in details. Use alpha=0.05 [note: use hypothesis, test statistics confidence interval etc.] ]
A dentist wanted to determine if a relationship existed between childhood fluoride exposure and cavities. She took a sample of adults in her practice and counted how many cavities each person had in his or her permanent teeth. She also determined how many years of childhood each person was exposed to tap water with fluoride. The minimum value on this variable was 0 and the maximum was 18. Using the data below, an alpha of .05 and a two-tailed test, was there a significant relationship? Years of fluoride Number of cavities 0 10 18 1 2 7 12 3 3 4 10 5 M = 7.5s =6.98 M = 5.00s = 3.16
The price X (dollars per pound) and consumption y (in pounds per capita) of beef were samples for 10 randomly selected years.

Arm circumferences (cm) and heights (cm) are measured from randomly selected adult females. The 142 pairs of measurements yield x=32.14cm, y=163.36cm, r=.084, P value=.32 and y=160+.111x. Find the best predicted value of y (height) given an adult female with an arm circumference of 40cm. Let the predictor variable x be arm circumference and the response variable y be height. Use a .05 significance level.
An insurance company selected samples of clients under 18 years of age and over 18 and recorded the number of accidents they had in the previous year. The results are shown below, Under Age of 18 Over Age of 18 In1 = 500 In2 = 600 Number of accidents (X1)= 180 Number of accidents (X2) = 150 We are interested in determining if the accident proportions differ between the two age groups. The pooled estimator of the population proportion (p bar)is O 0.4 O 0.5 O 0.3 O 0.2
A study was conducted of 90 adult male patients following a new treatment for congestive heart failure. One of the variables measured on the patients was the increase in exercise capacity (in minutes) over a 4-week treatment period. The previous treatment regime had produced an average increase of u = 2 minutes. The researchers wanted to evaluate whether the new treatment had increased the value of µ in comparison to the previous treatment. The sample data yielded ỹ = 2.17 and s = 1.05: a. Using a=0.05, what conclusions can you draw about the research hypothesis b. What is the probability of making a Type II error if the actual value of u is 2.1

The data in NutritionStudy include information on nutrition and health habits of a sample of 315 people. One of the variables is VitaminUse, indicating whether a person takes a multivitamin pill regularly or occasionally or not at all. Use technology to test whether the data provide evidence that the proportion taking a vitamin pill regularly is different from 35 % given. Clearly state the null and alternative hypotheses. : : 42 : Pi : P2 :: 0.35 : 2 :: P1 : p2 :: :: r Ho: vs Hg: ::
Solvent cement is used to join PVC joints. Researchers are interested in predicting the amount of time is needed for the joint to set (measured in hours) as it is related to temperature measured in degrees F for 4 to 8-inch diameter pieces. A random sample of PVC joints was taken and a linear regression model was found. Use the following output and the fact that R2 = 0.965 to answer the following questions. 7. Find and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the true slope. 8. The researchers find the predicted value for a temperature of 200 F is -3.507 hours. What is the most likely reason for this nonsensical answer?
A research study examined the cholesterol levels in two groups (control vs. salmon consumption group) to see whether consuming more salmon in the diet would make a difference on cholesterol levels. The mean cholesterol level of the 60 people in the control group was 240 with a SD of 20. The mean cholesterol level of the 60 people in the salmon consumption group was 210 with a SD of 21.

Heights (cm) and weights (kg) are measured for 100 randomly selected adult males, and range from heights of 136 to 190 cm and weights of 39 to 150 kg. Let the predictor variable x be the first variable given. The 100 paired measurements yiel x= 167.51 cm, y = 81.36 kg,r= 0.232, P-value = 0.020, and y = - 103+ 1.13x. Find the best predicted value of y (weight) given an adult male who is 153 cm tall. Use a 0.01 significance level. The best predicted value of y for an adult male who is 153 cm tall is kg. (Round to two decimal places as needed.)
Both, the Cohen's d and confidence interval, measure the impact of the IV on the DV. The only difference is that the confidence interval does so for the population, whereas the Cohen's d does so for the sample.
