The gas mileage for a 2020 Toyota Prius hybrid vehicle is skewed to the left, with μ = 55 miles per gallon and o = 8 miles per gallon. Suppose a random sample of n = 16 will be selected, the gas mileage will be recorded for each Toyota Prius, and the sample mean will be computed. Based on the information provided, which option applies to the distribution of possible sample mean values? The distribution of all possible sample mean values is normal because the population distribution of responses is normal. The distribution of all possible sample mean values is unknown because the sample size is not large enough and the population distribution of responses is not normal. The distribution of all possible sample mean values is approximately normal because the sample size n is large enough (at least 10 successes and at least 10 failures). The distribution of all possible sample mean values is approximately normal because the sample size n is large enough (larger than 25).
Suppose a researcher studied sleeping patterns in second-, fourth-, and sixth-grade children, and there were 7 students in each group, showing sleep periods in minutes below.

Finish up the ANOVA test with your interpretation in terms of the research question (you do not need to perform the test, just provide interpretation based the information available). Your interpretation: Given MSerror= 41, conduct the Tukey’s HSD post-hoc test to determine which groups differed significantly from one another.

A psychology graduate student wants to test the claim that there is a significant difference between the IQs of spouses. To test this claim, she measures the IQs of 9 married couples using a standard IQ test. The results of the IQ tests are listed in the following table. Using a 0.10 level of significance, test the claim that there is a significant difference between the IQs assuming that the population distribution of the paired differences is approximately normal. Let the spouse 1 group be Population 1 and let the spouse 2 group be Population 2.

IELTS score in mock examination Number of students <4 5 2 5 7 15 8 10 3 A report presented by this tutorial school 5 years ago indicated that the population mean score of IELTS mock examination was 7.05 points and ihe population proportion of students got 7 points or above was 0.67. (a) Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of population mean score a student get in the IELTS mock examination in 2022. (b) Test, at 1% level of significance, if the population proportion of students get 7 points or above in 2022 is higher than that in year 2017. (The report must include the (i) null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis, (ii) rejection region(s), (iii) calculation of test statistics, and (iv) conclusion.)

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 investigate the 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 to work 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 will use 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? A A one-sample t-interval for a population mean A one-sample t-interval for a sample mean A matched pairs t-interval for a mean difference D A two-sample t-interval for a difference between sample…
Identify the statistical procedures that are appropriate for the data. When possible, identify descriptive statistics, inferential statistics, and a measure of effect size Research suggests that the antioxidants in foods such as blueberries can reduce and even reverse age-related declines in cognitive functioning ( Joseph et al., 1990) to test this phenomenon, a researcher selects a sample of n = 25 adults aged 70 to 75 and administers a cognitive function test to each participant. The participants then drink a blueberry supplement every day for 4 months before they are tested again. The researcher compares the scores before treatment with the scores after treatment to see if there is any change ion cognitive function.
Is narcissism a more common personality trait today than it was a few decades ago? It is known that the mean population score on the Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI) for students attending University of South Alabama around 20 years ago was μ= 15 (Twenge, 2010). Interested in the narcissism levels of students in the year 2020, a researcher administers the NPI to a random sample of 25 University of Alabama sophomores this Spring term. The mean NPI score from the researcher’s sample of sophomores is M = 16.5, with s = 3.4. 1. Write the null and alternative hypotheses in symbols. Possible symbols for your answer: H0, H1, μ, M, σ. 2. Calculate the standard error. 3. Find the critical value for the test statistic, assuming alpha = .05 (Use largest [i.e., most conservative] value if exact value not given in the chart) a) 2.064 b) 1.96 c) 1.98 d) 2.000
Let's use SPSS to run a one-sample t-test! Imagine that you are interested in whether the number of hours students in a statistics course work each week differs from the average number of hours reported by the general student body at ASU. Thankfully, you have a data set that consists of information from students in a statistics course, including how many hours they work each week ("workhours"). You also happen to know that the average number of hours worked each week by the general student population at ASU is 25. Use the data provided to conduct a one sample t-test in SPSS comparing the sample data to the population mean.. The dependent variable for your test should be "workhours". Based on your output, the average number of hours worked each week by a sample is ________ . Enter your answer rounded to two decimal places (i.e., 10.01, not 10.1, not 10.0, not 10.010).
According to the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Air Travel Consumer Report, the nation’s 12 largest airlines recorded an on-time arrival percentage of 77.4% in 2001. Of interest is to estimate the mean delay time for the 22.6% of all flights that did not arrive on time during 2013. A simple random sample of 28 late arriving flights was selected, and the mean delay time of this sample of 28 flights was 14.2 minutes, with a sample standard deviation of s= 6.4 minutes. Use this information to calculate and interpret a 98% confidence interval for the mean delay time for all flights that did not arrive on time during 2013.
A cell phone manufacturer tests the battery lifetimes of its cell phones by recording the time it takes for the battery charges to run out while testers are streaming videos on the phones continuously. The manufacturer claims that the population mean of the battery lifetimes of all phones of their latest model is 5.26 hours. As a researcher for a consumer information service, you want to test that claim. To do so, you select a random sample of 45 cell phones of the Español manufacturer's latest model and record their battery lifetimes. Assume it is known that the population standard deviation of the battery lifetimes for that cell phone model is 2.42 hours. Based on your sample, follow the steps below to construct a 99% confidence interval for the population mean of the battery lifetimes for all phones of the manufacturer's latest model. Then state whether the confidence interval you construct contradicts the manufacturer's claim. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) 00 (a)…
Prices of basic commodities are often greatly affected by typhoons. During the aftermath of recent typhoon, the prices of tilapia were reported to have been sold at ₱20 – ₱25 more per kilogram at local wet markets. However, the price was back to its normal mean price at ₱100 per kilo one week after. If a random sample of 10 tilapia sales transactions from local wet markets have prices (in pesos per kilo) of 107, 115, 130, 95, 100, 105, 98, 116, 104, 100. Assuming that the tilapia prices are normally distributed, is there sufficient evidence to say that the mean price of tilapia in these markets is greater than ₱100? Use a 0.05 level of significance. State the null and alternative hypotheses: Ho: ________ (symbols) Ho: _______________________________ (statement) Ha: _________ (symbols) Ha: _______________________________ (statement)
