An investigator theorizes that people who participate in regular exercise will have levels of systolic blood pressure that are significantly different, higher or lower, from that of people who do not participate in regular exercise. To test this idea, the investigator randomly assigns 21 subjects to an exercise program for 10 weeks and another 21 subjects to a non-exercise comparison group. After ten weeks, the mean systolic blood pressure of the subjects in the exercise group is M₁ = 127 and the standard deviation is s₁ = 10. In the non-exercise group, the mean is M₂ = 137 and the standard deviation is s2 = 9.0. Please test the investigator's theory using an alpha level of 0.05, two tailed.

"A large candy manufacturer produces, packages and sells packs of candy targeted to weigh 52 grams. A quality control manager working for the company was concerned that the variation in the actual weights of the targeted 52-gram packs was larger than acceptable. That is, he was concerned that some packs weighed significantly less than 52-grams and some weighed significantly more than 52 grams. In an attempt to estimate the variance of the weights of all of the 52-gram packs the manufacturer makes, he took a random sample of n = 20 packs off of the factory line. The random sample yielded a sample variance of 3.5 grams. Use 90% confidence level. What is the confidence interval for the variance of the weight of the candy?"
Suppose that 90% of Narnians are children, that Narnian children have normallydistributed BMIs with a mean of 25 kg/m2and variance of 64 (kg/m2) 2, and that Narnianadults have normally distributed BMIs with a mean of 30 kg/m2and variance of 100(kg/m2)2.

A movie theater company wants to see if there is a difference in the average price of movie tickets in Chicago and New York City. They sample 20 ticket stubs from Chicago and 25 from New York City. Test the claim using a 1% level of significance. Assume the population variances are unequal and that movie ticket prices are normally distributed. Give answer to at least 4 decimal places.

A company is doing a hypothesis test on the variation of quality from two suppliers. They believe that one of the suppliers has a different variance than the other supplier and would like to perform a hypothesis test to support their claim. Both distributions are normal, and the populations are independent. use a = 0.01 Ho :012 = 0 2 ² HA:012 =0 2 2 Supplier 1: standard deviation = 2.82, Sample size = 35 Supplier 2: standard deviation = 3.18, Sample size = 18. The test statistic (rounded to 4 decimal places) is = The p-value (rounded to 4 decimal places) is = O Reject the null hypothesis - there is enough evidence is support a meaningful difference in the variance of the suppliers. O Fail to reject the null hypothesis - there is not enough evidence to support a meaningful difference in the variance of the suppliers.
