Question

Big babies: The National Health Statistics Reports described a study in which a sample of 335 one-year-old baby boys were weighed. Their mean weight was 25.2 pounds with standard deviation 5,3 pounds. A pediatrician claims that the mean weight of one-year-old boys differs from 25 pounds. Do the data provide convincing evidence that the pediatrician's claim is true? Use the a= 0.01 level of significance and the P-value method with the TI-84 Plus calculator. Answer the following three.

College tuition: The mean annual tuition and fees in the 2013-2014 academic year for a sample of 13 private colleges in
California was $38,000 with a standard deviation of $7900. A dotplot shows that it is reasonable to assume that the population is
approximately normal. Can you conclude that the mean tuition and fees for private institutions in California differs from $35,0007
Use the a = 0.01 level of significance and the P-value method with the TI-84 Plus calculator.

Definition Definition Measure of central tendency that is the average of a given data set. The mean value is evaluated as the quotient of the sum of all observations by the sample size. The mean, in contrast to a median, is affected by extreme values. Very large or very small values can distract the mean from the center of the data. Arithmetic mean: The most common type of mean is the arithmetic mean. It is evaluated using the formula: μ = 1 N ∑ i = 1 N x i Other types of means are the geometric mean, logarithmic mean, and harmonic mean. Geometric mean: The nth root of the product of n observations from a data set is defined as the geometric mean of the set: G = x 1 x 2 ... x n n Logarithmic mean: The difference of the natural logarithms of the two numbers, divided by the difference between the numbers is the logarithmic mean of the two numbers. The logarithmic mean is used particularly in heat transfer and mass transfer. ln x 2 − ln x 1 x 2 − x 1 Harmonic mean: The inverse of the arithmetic mean of the inverses of all the numbers in a data set is the harmonic mean of the data. 1 1 x 1 + 1 x 2 + ...
