An occupational safety officer for a large company is conducting a study to investigate back problems in office workers who use a computer for most of the workday. The study will investigatethe difference in back problems for workers who stand and workers who sit. A group of 68 volunteers have agreed to participate in the nine-month study. Half the group is randomly assigned towork while standing, and the other half is assigned to work while sitting. At the end of the study, the mean number of back problems between the two groups will be calculated. The officer willuse the results to estimate the difference in the mean number of back problems between those who work while standing and those who work while sitting.Which of the following is an appropriate inference procedure for the study?AA one-sample t-interval for a population meanA one-sample t-interval for a sample meanA matched pairs t-interval for a mean differenceDA two-sample t-interval for a difference between sample meansA two-sample t-interval for a difference between population means A consumer agency is interested in examining whether there is a difference in two common sealant products used to waterproof residential backyard decks. With cooperation of several buildersin the area, they randomly assign 38 newly constructed decks to be treated with Very Clear deck sealant and another 37 newly constructed decks to be treated with Sure Seal deck sealant. Afterone year of being exposed to similar weather conditions, the decks are rated on a scale of 1 to 100. The mean rating for the decks treated with Very Clear is 89.2 with a standard deviation of 3.1.The mean rating for the decks treated with Sure Seal is 92.4 with a standard deviation of 3.8.Which of the following represents the 90 percent confidence interval to estimate the difference (Very Clear minus Sure Seal) in mean ratings for the two deck sealants?(89.2 – 92.4) ±1.960,/312 +V 383.8237(89.2 – 92.4) ±1.688/3.123.8B37(89.2 – 92.4) ± 1.645/83.123.837D(89.2 – 92.4) + 1.688,3.1+3.8V 3837E(89.2 – 92.4) ± 1.645 ( 31+

At BYU-Idaho there has been a lot of interest in the performance of students in online classes. Generally, administrators are interested to know if there is a difference in the learning of students who take an online course compared to those who take a traditional course. A study was done to see if the grade received in the course is related to the type of course. Researchers collected the grades of randomly selected students who were taking a traditional Business Statistics class and compared those with the grades earned by randomly selected students who were taking an online Business Statistics class. The data are shown in the table below. Grade A B с D F You want to determine if a student's grade and the type of course he or she is enrolled in are independent. Use a level of significance of a = 0.01. State the null and alternative hypothesis for this test. O Ho: Traditional and online courses are not independent. H₂: Traditional and online courses are independent. O Ho: Traditional…
In a study of computer use, 1000 randomly selected Canadian Internet users were asked how much time they spend using the Internet in a typical week. The mean of the sample observations was 12.6 hours.
In the NFL, Coaches can throw "challenge" flags if they believe officials have made an incorrect call on the field. Then, based upon further analysis, the call is either overturned (because the referees were incorrect) or upheld (referees were correct). In the first eight weeks of last NFL season, there were 316 challenges made, with 154 of those calls overturned. The NFL team owners used this data to begin a lawsuit that claimed referees were wrong more than 50% of the time in challenged situations. They want to perform statistical analysis before filing that lawsuit. For the following question, select the answer which correctly responds. 0.50
Researchers asked soda drinkers to view either the logo for their favorite soda or a graphic warning demonstrating the harmful effects of sugary beverages (e.g., tooth decay, obesity) and then measured their negative mood with a short survey. They found that those participants who saw the warnings reported significantly greater negative moods than those who saw the logos. Which statistical test should be used?
Customers of a restaurant have been complaining about food poisoning over the past week. A health professional was called to investigate. He tested a representative sample of the eggs and reported that 23% of the sample eggs tested positive for the salmonella bacterium. If a second health professional tests 4 eggs at random, what is the mean of the number of eggs that test positive for salmonella?
A credit score is used by credit agencies (such as mortgage companies and banks) to assess the creditworthiness of individuals. Values range from 300 to 850, with a credit score over 700 considered to be a quality credit risk. According to a survey, the mean credit score is 710.6. A credit analyst wondered whether high-income individuals (incomes in excess of $100,000 per year) had higher credit scores. He obtained a random sample of 48 high-income individuals and found the sample mean credit score to be 723.6 with a standard deviation of 81.2. Conduct the appropriate test to determine if high-income individuals have higher credit scores at the a = 0.10 level of significance. Click the icon to view the table of critical t-values. State the null and alternative hypotheses. Fill in the correct answers below. Ho: Hyi H (Type integers or decimals. Do not round.)

An adventure company runs two obstacle courses, Fundash and Coolsprint. The designer of the courses suspects that the mean completion time of Fundash is not equal to the mean completion time of Coolsprint. To test this, she selects 240 Fundash runners and 200 Coolsprint runners. (Consider these as random samples of the Fundash and Coolspring runners.) The 240 Fundash runners complete the course with a mean time of 76.7 minutes and a standard deviation of 5.2 minutes. The 200 Coolsprint runners complete the course with a mean time of 77.5 minutes and a standard deviation of 5.4 minutes. Assume that the population standard deviations of the completion times can be estimated to be the sample standard deviations, since the samples that are used to compute them are quite large. At the 0.05 level of significance, is there enough evidence to support the claim that the mean completion time, μ1 , of Fundash is not equal to the mean completion time, μ2 , of Coolsprint?…
A researcher wanted to find the best viewing distance for watching a TV screen. He recruited the following number of participants and asked them to evaluate their satisfaction of the viewing distance. Then, he conducted an ANOVA to see if there is any significant mean differences. Here are the number of participants by each group: Group 1 (4 feet) - 5 people Group 2 (7 feet) - 5 people Group 3 (10 feet) - 6 people Group 4 (13 feet) - 5 people Group 5 (16 feet) - 4 people Given the numbers as presented above, what is the degrees of freedom for within groups for this analysis? a. 4 b. 20 O c. 21 d. 25
Researchers studied a group of 30 “self-designated worriers” (i.e. individuals who reported spending at least 10% of the day worrying) and who were over the age of 70 (mean age of 78.1). The researcher randomly assigned the worriers into three groups. For the next four weeks, each group would experience a different approach to handling worry. One group engaged in a worry-focus discussion group. The second group members enjoyed individual therapy. The third group went for daily walks in the park. Data was collected, analyzed, and interpreted. Write a valid one sentence hypothesis statement using proper form of the above research design.
