A study of parental empathy for sensitivity cues and baby temperament (higher scores mean more empathy) was performed. Let x1 be a random variable that represents the score of a mother on an empathy test (as regards her baby). Let x2 be the empathy score of a father. A random sample of 33 mothers gave a sample mean of x1 = 69.72. Another random sample of 38 fathers gave x2 = 57.68. Assume that Population Standard Deviation1 = 11.97 and Population Standard Deviation2 = 11.86. (a) Let Population Standard Deviation1 be the population mean of x1 and let Population Standard Deviation2 be the population mean of x2. Find a 99% confidence interval for Population Standard Deviation1 – Population Standard Deviation2. (Round your answers to two decimal places.

Researchers are interested in the effect of pet companionship on depression in elderly adults. They randomly select 25 participants from the target population and record their depression scores before and after spending a month with a dog (a higher score indicates a higher level of depression). The researchers then compute the difference scores for each participant (difference after before). The mean of differences is -1 and the standard deviation of differences is 2. Can the researchers conclude that there is an effect of pet companionship on depression in elderly adults? Conduct the appropriate statistical test (two-tailed) with a = .05. Should you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis? Reject O Fail to reject
An agricultural company is trying to decide which type of fertilizer to use on its crops. The company concerned with the average yield on its crops as well as the variance of their yields. In a sample of 41 different fields with using fertilizer A, the average crop yield per acre is 185 tons with a standard deviation of 35 tons. In a separate sample of 61 different fields using fertilizer B, the average crop yield is 175 tons with a standard deviation of 28 tons. When testing the hypothesis (at the 5% level of significance) that the variance of one of these yields is significantly larger than the other, what is the null and alternative hypotheses?
Medical researchers are interested in determining the relative effectiveness of two drug treatments on patients with a chronic mental illness. Treatment 1 has been around for many years, while treatment 2 has recently been developed based on the latest research. The researchers chose two independent test groups. The first group had 9 patients, all of whom received treatment and had a mean time until remission of 166 days, with a standard deviation of 8 days. The second group had 15 patients, all of whom received treatment 2 and had a mean time until remission of 161 days, with a standard deviation of 9 days. Assume that the populations of times until remission for each of the two treatments are normally distributed with equal variance. Can we conclude, at the 0.05 level of significance, that u, the mean number of days until remission after treatment 1, is greater than u,, the mean number of days until remission after treatment 2? Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts…
An engineer is comparing voltages for two types of batteries (K and Q) using a sample of 3939 type K batteries and a sample of 5757 type Q batteries. The mean voltage is measured as 8.558.55 for the type K batteries with a standard deviation of 0.6830.683, and the mean voltage is 8.828.82 for type Q batteries with a standard deviation of 0.7910.791. Conduct a hypothesis test for the conjecture that the mean voltage for these two types of batteries is different. Let μ1μ1 be the true mean voltage for type K batteries and μ2μ2 be the true mean voltage for type Q batteries. Use a 0.020.02 level of significance. Step 3 of 4 : Determine the decision rule for rejecting the null hypothesis H0H0. Round the numerical portion of your answer to two decimal places
Suppose a researcher wants to test if the average diastolic blood pressure in Irish-Americans is different than the average diastolic blood pressure in the general population. Note that the average diastolic blood pressure in the general population is 70 mmHG. The researcher recruits 30 Irish-Americans into this particular study and then measures each of their diastolic blood pressures (mmHG). The population of this sample has a standard deviation equal to 3.0. What is the two-sided alternative hypothesis? (in words) Group of answer choices The mean is different than 70 The mean is different than 73 The mean is greater than 70 The mean is greater than 73
The fan blades on commercial jet engines must be replaced when wear on these parts indicates too much variability to pass inspection. If a single fan blade broke during operation, it could severely endanger a flight. A large engine contains thousands of fan blades, and safety regulations require that variability measurements on the population of all blades not exceed ?2 = 0.18 mm2. An engine inspector took a random sample of 81 fan blades from an engine. She measured each blade and found a sample variance of 0.28 mm2. Using a 0.01 level of significance, is the inspector justified in claiming that all the engine fan blades must be replaced? (b) Find the value of the chi-square statistic for the sample. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) Find or estimate the P-value of the sample test statistic.

An electrical engineer wishes to compare the mean lifetimes of two types of transistors in an application involving high-temperature performance. A sample of 60 transistors of type A were tested and were found to have a mean lifetime of 1827 hours and a standard deviation of 174 hours.

Bone mineral density (BMD) is a measure of bone strength. Studies show that BMD declines after age 45. The impact of exercise may increase BMD. A random sample of 59 women between the ages of 41 and 45 with no major health problems were studied. The women were classified into one of two groups based upon their level of exercise activity: walking women and sedentary women. The 39 women who walked regularly had a mean BMD of 5.96 with a standard deviation of 1.22. The 20 women who are sedentary had a mean BMD of 4.41 with a standard deviation of 1.02. Which of the following inference procedures could be used to estimate the difference in the mean BMD for these two types of women
Researchers interested in determining the relative effectiveness of two different drug treatments on people with a chronic illness established two independent test groups. The first group consisted of 12 people with the illness, and the second group consisted of 14 people with the illness. The first group received treatment 1 and had a mean time until remission of 166 days with a standard deviation of 8 days. The second group received treatment 2 and had a mean time until remission of 163 days with a standard deviation of 9 days. Assume that the populations of times until remission for each of the two treatments are normally distributed with equal variance. Construct a 90% confidence interval for the difference −μ1μ2 between the mean number of days before remission after treatment 1 ( μ1 ) and the mean number of days before remission after treatment 2 ( μ2 ). Then find the lower limit and upper limit of the 90% confidence interval. Carry your intermediate…

For a random sample of 50 newborn Holstein calves from the United States, the mean weight was 80 pounds and the standard deviation was 6 pounds. In order to compare these findings with those of other countries, an agricultural engineer converted the measured calf weights from pounds to kilograms by multiplying each weight by 0.454. What are the mean and standard deviation of the converted weights of the 50 newborn Holstein calves? (A) The mean weight is 36.32 kilograms and the standard deviation is 2.724 kilograms. (B) The mean weight is 36.32 kilograms and the standard deviation is 6 kilograms. (C) The mean weight is 80 kilograms and the standard deviation is 2.724 kilograms. (D) The mean weight is 80 kilograms and the standard deviation is 6 kilograms. (E) The mean weight is approximately 176.21 kilograms and the standard deviation is 6 kilograms.
