In a sample of 26 participants, a researcher estimates the 90% CI for a sample with a mean of MD = 0.6 and an estimated standard error for the difference scores (SMD) of 1.1. What is the upper confidence limit for this interval?
The time it takes for a compact fluorescent bulb to reach full brightness is normally distributed with mean 29.9 seconds and standard deviation 4.1 seconds. Find and interpret the z-score for x = 26.4.
An engineer working for a tire manufacturer investigates the average life of a new material to be used in the manufacturing process. For this purpose, he builds a sample of 13 tires and tests them in a laboratory until the end of their useful life is reached. The data obtained from the sample are as follows: average of 60897.9 km and standard deviation of 2734.8 km. The engineer would like to demonstrate that the average service life of the tire with the new material exceeds 60,000 km. a) State the null and alternative hypothesis to be stated in this experiment. Test the stated hypotheses using an α = 0.05 What conclusions are reached? b) Find a 95% confidence interval for the average tire life with the new material. Interpret your answer.

A laboratory claims that the mean sodium level, μ , of a healthy adult is 141 mEq per liter of blood. To test this claim, a random sample of 80 adult patients is evaluated. The mean sodium level for the sample is 142 mEq per liter of blood. It is known that the population standard deviation of adult sodium levels is 11 mEq. Can we conclude, at the 0.05 level of significance, that the population mean adult sodium level differs from that claimed by the laboratory? Perform a two-tailed test. Then fill in the table below. Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places, and round your responses as specified in the table. The null hypothesis: H0: The alternative hypothesis: H1: The type of test statistic: (Choose one)ZtChi squareF The value of the test statistic:(Round to at least three decimal places.)

A laboratory claims that the mean sodium level, u, of a healthy adult is 143 mEq per liter of blood. To test this claim, a random sample of 50 adult patients is evaluated. The mean sodium level for the sample is 140 mEq per liter of blood. It is known that the population standard deviation of adult sodium levels is 10 mEq. Can we conclude, at the 0.1 level of significance, that the population mean adult sodium level differs from that claimed by the laboratory? Perform a two-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places, and round your responses as specified below. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.)

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. In summary: Type Sample Size Sample Mean Standard Deviation Vaccine X 78 Vaccine Y 93 151 148 8.7 11.5 a) Calculate the variance of the random variable X which is the mean of the 6AEQ measurements of the 78 vaccine X recipients.…
