credit score is used by credit agencies to assess the creditworthiness of individuals. Values range from 300 to 850, with a credit score over 700 considered to be a quality credit risk. According to a survey, the mean credit score is 712.8. A credit analyst wondered whether high income individuals (incomes in excess of $100,000 per year) had higher credit scores. He obtained a random sample of 24 high-income individuals and found the sample mean credit score to be 735.6 with a standard deviation of 74.5. Conduct the appropriate test to determine if high income individuals have higher credit
A health professional is whether stress level before a routine practice session can be used to predict the mean stress level a major figure skating competition. The health professional selected a random sample of figure skaters and measured the stress level before a routine practice session and before a major competitionEach variable was measured as the change in the interval between heartbeats , or heart rate variability . The health professional wants to estimate the mean change in the stress level before a major competition for each unit increase in the stress level before a routine practice.
A certain prescription medicine is supposed to contain an average of 250 parts per million (ppm) of a certain chemical. If the concentration is higher than this, the drug may cause harmful side effects; if it is lower, the drug may be ineffective. The manufacturer runs a check to see if the mean concentration in a large shipment conforms to the target level of 250 ppm or not. A simple random sample of 100 portions is tested, and the sample mean concentration is found to be 247 ppm. The sample concentration standard deviation is s = 12 ppm. Suppose that the p-value was 0.0259. What is the appropriate conclusion to make if α = 0.05? Group of answer choices Fail to reject H0. We have insufficient evidence to conclude that the mean concentration is different from 250 ppm. Fail to reject H0. We have sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean concentration is less than 250 ppm. Reject H0. We have insufficient evidence to conclude that the mean concentration is less than 250…
A consumer advocacy group is doing a large study on car rental practices. Among other things, the consumer group would like to do a statistical test regarding the mean mnonthly mileage, u, of cars rented in the U.S. this year. The consumer group has good reason to believe that the mean monthly mileage of cars rented in the U.S. this year is greater than last year's mean, which was 2750 miles. The group plans to do a statistical test regarding the value of u. It chooses a random sample of monthly mileages and computes the mean of the sample to be 2900 miles and the standard deviation to be 700 miles. Based on this information, complete the parts below. (a) What are the null hypothesis H, and the alternative hypothesis H, that should be used for the test? H.: O

An adventure company runs two obstacle courses, Fundash and Coolsprint. The designer of the courses suspects that the mean completion time of Fundash is not equal to the mean completion time of Coolsprint. To test this, she selects 205 Fundash runners and 300 Coolsprint runners. (Consider these as random samples of the Fundash and Coolspring runners.) The 205 Fundash runners complete the course with a mean time of 76.7 minutes and a standard deviation of 5.3 minutes. The 300 Coolsprint runners complete the course with a mean time of 77.5 minutes and a standard deviation of 5.1 minutes. Assume that the population standard deviations of the completion times can be estimated to be the sample standard deviations, since the samples that are used to compute them are quite large. At the 0.05 level of significance, is there enough evidence to support the claim that the mean completion time, ,, of Fundash is not equal to the mean completion time, μ₂, of Coolsprint? Perform a two-tailed test.…

A teacher collects the following data from 5 college students regarding the number of times they drank alcohol in the last 30 days. We know that the population of college students drink a mean of 4.0 days in the last 30 days (i.e., this is the population mean). Is the mean level in the sample significantly different from the population mean? data: 6,5, 7, 6, 4 - what type of error might you be making - interpret effect size
