Researchers have shown that cigarette smoking has a deleterious effect on lung function. In their study of the effect of cigarette smoking on the carbon monoxide diffusing capacity (DL) of the lung, Ronald Knudson, W. Kaltenborn and B. Burrows found that current smokers had DL readings significantly lower than either ex-smokers or nonsmokers. The carbon monoxide diffusing capacity for a random sample of current smokers was as follows: 103.768 88.602 73.003 123.086 91.052 92.295 61.675 90.677 84.023 76.014 100.615 88.017 71.210 82.115 89.222 102.754 108.579 73.154 106.755 90.479 Do these data indicate that the mean DL reading for current smokers is lower than 100, the average DL reading for nonsmokers? A. Find the test statistics and interpret the results, a = 0.01? B. Calculate p value and interpret the results. C. Find the confidence interval for a = 0.05.
A manufacturer of children's vitamins claims that its vitamins are mixed so that each batch has exactly the following percentages of each color: 10 % green, 30 % yellow, 30 % red, and 30 % orange. To test the claim that these percentages are incorrect, 100 bottles of vitamins were sampled and the colors of the vitamins were tallied. The results are listed in the following table. At a = 0.025, determine whether there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the percentages stated by the vitamin manufacturer are incorrect. Children's Vitamins Green Yellow Red Orange Number 590 1765 1717 1615 Copy Data Step 2 of 4: Calculate the expected value for the number of vitamins that are orange. Round your answer to three decimal places, if necessary.
For which of the following would it be most appropriate to use an ANOVA to analyze the data? A researcher is interested in determining the most effective format for advertising. He randomly assigns 60 people to one of three groups: (1) television commercial, (2) radio commercial, or (3) magazine advertisement. Group members review the commercial and then report whether or not they would buy the product. In order to determine the effectiveness of different diet plans, 90 people are randomly assigned to one of three groups: (1) low calorie diet, (2) low-fat diet, or (3) low-carb diet. At the end of 60 days, the number of pounds lost was recorded for each of the participants. Both A and B. Neither A nor B.
An agriculturist claims that she has cultivated a new variety of orange that has a significantly higher content of vitamin C than the variety that is currently the top seller. A random sample of 15 oranges of the new variety and a random sample of 13 oranges of the current top seller were sampled, giving the following results: n1 = 15 s? = 6.4460 n2 = 13 s3 = 9.0336 %3D 3.1 Test for the equality versus inequality of population variances using a significance level of 10%. Remember to include a picture of the rejection region showing both critical values (for the purpose of finding both critical values you will have to make use of Excel). 3.2 Which hypothesis test would be appropriate to determine whether the new variety of orange has a significantly higher content of vitamin C than the variety that is currently the top seller? Do NOT perform a hypothesis test – simply tell me which test should be used, why you chose this test, and give the formula for the test statistic.
The old variety of a plant has 70% pink flowers. A new variety is developed. In a random sample of 93 plants from the new variety, 59 had pink flowers. Test the claim that the percent of plants with pink flowers for the new variety is different than 70%. Use a 0.10 level of significance. Question 6 options: DO NOT Reject H0 Using a 0.10 level of significance there is not evidence to say the proportion of pink flowers is different than 0.70 Reject H0 Using a 0.10 level of significance there is evidence to say the proportion of pink flowers is not different than 0.70
It has been found that 25.1% of men (Group 1) 20 years and older suffer from hypertension (high blood pressure) and 33.9% of women (Group 2) are hypertensive. A random sample of 164 of each gender was selected from recent hospital records, and the following results were obtained. Can you conclude that a higher percentage of women have high blood pressure? Use =0.05. Men: 42 patients had high blood pressure Women: 52 patients had high blood pressure Required: Test Value Only the final answer should be rounded-off to TWO decimal places.

Suppose an experiment finds that people taking a new herbal remedy get fewer colds than people taking a placebo. The results are statistically significant at the 0.01 level. Has the experiment proven that the herbal remedy works?
Clothes dried outside smell better than those dried in a dryer because of a process called photolysis. Sunlight breaks down compounds that cause odor. A trained smeller is asked to smell a random sample of 20 towels. The smeller does not know it, but all of the 20 towels have been dried in the sun. The smeller is blindfolded and is not allowed to touch the towels but leans forward to smell the towel then rates the towel on a smell-scale of 1 to 10, where 1 is the an extremely unpleasant smell and 10 is a very good smell. A smell rating of 8 is typically attributed to a towel that is dried in the dryer. The mean smell rating for these 20 towels is approximately normal with a mean of 8.45 and the standard deviation is 0.887. A statistician performs a test of Ho μ = 8 versus H₁ μ> 8 where is the true mean smell rating for all towels dried in the sun. This test yields a P-value of 0.0176. What conclusion would you make at the significance level a = 0.05? Because the P-value of 0.0176 < α =…
Two major automobile manufacturers have produced compact cars with engines of the same size. We are interested in determining whether or not there is a significant difference in the mean MPG (miles per gallon) when testing for the fuel efficiency of these two brands of automobiles. A random sample of eight cars from each manufacturer is selected, and eight drivers are selected to drive each automobile for a specified distance. The following data (in miles per gallon) show the results of the test. Assume the population of differences is normally distributed. Driver Manufacturer A Manufacturer B 1 36 30 2 31 31 3 30 28 4 30 27 5 29 27 6 33 30 7 35 25 8 29 31 The test statistic is 2.316. At ? = 0.10, the null hypothesis should be revised .should not be tested. should be rejected. should not be rejected.
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 The previous treatment regime had produced an average increase of μ = 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 ?̅ = 2.17 and ? = 1.05: Using α = 05, what conclusions can you draw about the research hypothesis?
