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.

Test the claim that the proportion of people who own a pet is smaller than 50% at the 0.05 significance level. The null and alternative hypothesis would be: Но: р 3 0.5 Но:д > 0.5 Но:д 0.5 Ні:р 0.5 Hi:р + 0.5 The test is: left-tailed two-tailed right-tailed Based on a sample of 600 people, 288 owned a pet, the p-value is: |(to 4 decimals) Based on this we: Fail to reject the null hypothesis Reject the null hypothesis
"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. WHO currently categorizes BMIs greater than 30 as obese.a. What is the prevalence of obesity among Narnian children?b. What is the prevalence of obesity among Narnian adults?c. What is the overall prevalence of obesity among Narnians?d. Are age and obesity statistically independent in Narnia?e. What proportion of Narnians are obese children?f. What proportion of obese Narnians are children?
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.

The accounting department analyzes the variance of the weekly unit costs reported by two production departments. A sample of 16 cost reports for each of the two departments shows cost variances of 2.3 and 5.4, respectively. Is this sample sufficient to conclude that the two production departments differ in terms of unit cost variance? Use a = .10. a. State the null and alternative hypotheses. Ho: 0 12 equal to H : 0 1 ? not equal to 2 b. Calculate the value of the test statistic (to 2 decimals). c. The p-value is between .10 and .20 v d. What is your conclusion? Cannot conclude that the departments differ in terms of unit cost variance v
