An agronomist randomly selected 20 matured calamansi trees of one variety and have a mean height of 10.8ft with standard dev of 1.25ft, while another 12 randomly selected calamansi trees of another variety have a mean height of 9.6ft with standard dev of 1.45ft. Test whether the difference of 2 sample means is significant at α = 5%.

A researcher compares two compounds (1 and 2) used in the manufacture of car tires that are designed to reduce braking distances for SUVS equipped with the tires. The mean braking distance for SUVs equipped with tires made with compound 1 is 71 feet, with a population standard deviation of 11.0. The mean braking distance for SUVs equipped with tires made with compound 2 is 74 feet, with a population standard deviation of 12.3. Suppose that a sample of 70 braking tests are performed for each compound. Using these results, test the claim that the braking distance for SUVS equipped with tires using compound 1 is shorter than the braking distance when compound 2 is used. Let μ₁ be the true mean braking distance corresponding to compound 1 and μ₂ be the true mean braking distance corresponding to compound 2. Use the 0.05 level of significance. Step 2 of 5: Compute the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to two decimal places. Answer How to enter your answer (opens in new window)…
A marine biologist claims that the mean length of mature female pink seaperch is different in fall and winter. A sample of 12 mature female pink seaperch collected in fall has a mean length of 115 millimeters and a standard deviation of 11 millimeters. A sample of 10 mature female pink seaperch collected in winter has a mean length of 106 millimeters and a standard deviation of 8 millimeters. At α=0.01, can you support the marine biologist's claim? Assume the population variances are equal. Assume the samples are random and independent, and the populations are normally distributed. Complete parts (a) through (e) below.

A quick but imprecise method of estimating the concentration of a polluting chemical in a vat has been developed. Eight samples from the vat are analyzed by this method, as well as four samples by the standard method, which is precise but slow. Compare the means to estimate whether the quick method yields a systematic overestimate or underestimate at α = 0.05. The values by both the methods are tabulated below. Use t test for unequal population variances.Standard Quick25 2324 1825 2226 281725191
Suppose the diameter of holes for a cable harness is known to have a mean of 1.4 inches. A random sample of size 12 yields an average diameter of 1.6525 inches and standard deviation of 0.16 inch. Given that the data set is normally distributed, does this mean that this group of cable harnesses is significantly smaller? Test at α = 0.05.

Suppose there are two different vaccines for Covid, Vaccine X and Vaccine Y. An interesting question is which vaccine has a higher 6-month antibody effectiveness quotient (6AEQ). To examine this we randomly select 78 recipients of vaccine X and 93 recipients on vaccine Y. The vaccine X recipients had a mean 6AEQ of x = 151. The vaccine Y recipients had a mean 6AEQ of y = 148. It is recognized that the true standard deviation of 6AEQ for vaccine X recipients is 0x = 8.7 while it is recognized that the true standard deviation of 6AEQ for vaccine Y recipients is dy = 11.5. The true (unknown) mean 6AEQ for vaccine X recipients is μx, while the true (unknown) mean 6AEQ for vaccine Y recipients is y. 6AEQ measurements are known to be a normally distributed.
