An analyst is conducting a hypothesis test to determine if the mean time spent on investment research by portfolio managers is different from 3 hours per day. The test uses a random sample of 64 portfolio managers, where the sample mean time spent on research is found to be 2.5 hours. The population standard deviation is 2 hours. What is the 99% confidence interval for the population mean time spent on investment research by portfolio managers?

We are trying whether, a new low fat diet actually helps obese people lose weight. 100 randomly obese people are assigned to group 1 and put on a low fat-diet. another 100 people are assigned to group 2 and put on a diet of approximately the same amount of food, but not as low in fat. After 4 months, the mean net weight loss was 9.31 pounds for group 1 with a standard deviation of 4.67 pounds, and for group 2 the mean net weight loss was 7.40 pounds with a standard deviation of 4.04 pounds. Is the low-fat diet more effective?

Fran is training for her first marathon, and she wants to know if there is a significant difference between the mean number of miles run each week by group runners and individual runners who are training for marathons. She interviews 37 randomly selected people who train in groups, and finds that they run a mean of 47.7 miles per week. Assume that the population standard deviation for group runners is known to be 3.3 miles per week. She also interviews a random sample of 49 people who train on their own and finds that they run a mean of 49.4 miles per week. Assume that the population standard deviation for people who run by themselves is 4.4 miles per week. Test the claim at the 0.10 level of significance. Let group runners training for marathons be Population 1 and let individual runners training for marathons be Population 2. Step 2 of 3 : Compute the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to two decimal places.

In a survey, 29 people were asked how much they spent on their child's birthday gift. The results were roughly bell-shaped with a mean of $46.8 and standard deviation of $5.8. Estimate how much a typical parent would spend on their child's birthday gift using a 98% confidence interval. Express the answer in the format of x +- E.
A new drug is being tested to see if it reduces the frequency of migraines. Study participants were divided into two groups. 49 participants in group 1 received the medication; 42 participants in group 2 received a placebo. After a period of six months, group 1 had a mean of 4 migraines. It is known that the population standard deviation for this group is 1.3 migraines. Group 2 had a mean of 5.4 migraines. The population standard deviation for this group is 1.7 migraines. Can we conclude that the medication reduces the population mean number of migraines? Use αα =0.01. Note: If t-test, then unequal variances are assumed. Question a)Let: μ1μ1 = the population mean number of migraines with the medication μ2μ2 = the population mean number of migraines with the placebo (Step 1) State the null and alternative hypotheses by selecting the appropriate symbol, and identify which tailed test: H0:H0: μ1μ1 μ2μ2 H1:H1: μ1μ1 μ2μ2 Which tailed test…
