College students claim that the cost of living off-campus is less than the cost of living on campus. To support the claim, 36 college students who stayed off-campus were selected at random and their mean expenditure per day was RM 34 with a standard deviation of RM 4. If the mean expenditure of college students staying on-campus is RM 35, can we accept the claim if we perform the hypothesis testing with a = 0.01.

The sample mean weight of 200 adult vulturine parrots was measured to be 734.2 grams, with a standard deviation of 15.7 grams. Using a 10% level of significance, what could we claim about the population mean weight for all vulturine parrots so that the hypothesis will fail to be rejected?
In a study of 110 women and 116 men, it was found that mean body temperature for women was 97.690 F and mean body temperature for men was 97.450 F. Assume that the populations are independent, and the standard deviations were found to to be 0.89o F for women, and 0.660 F for men. Use an α = 0.05 significance level to test the claim that woman and men have different mean body temperatures. For full credit your hypothesis test must include: the claim, the null and alternate hypothesis, your test statistic and corresponding p-value, your decision, and the interpretation of your decision as it relates to the claim. It is acceptable to use technology to calculate the test statistic and the p-value here.
Given that the researcher wants to be sure the mean difference in the change in hemoglobin levels has a margin of error no more than 0.2 g/dL and the difference in the stand deviation between the mean hemoglobin levels for the two forms of iron supplements used to treat anemia is 1.2 g/dL, what is the desired number of recruits for the study, assuming the individuals will participate in a crossover trial, if the study’s attrition rate is expected to be .25?

Total blood volume (in ml) per body weight (in kg) is important in medical research. For healthy adults, the red blood cell volume mean is about µ = 28 ml/kg with a standard deviation of 4.75ml/kg. Red blood cells volume that is too low or too high can indicate a medical problem. Suppose he does a hypothesis test with a significance level of 0.01. Roger has had seven blood tests and the red blood cell volumes were: 32 25 41 35 30 37 29 Roger’s null hypothesis is that his blood tests are normal and that his alternative hypothesis is that something is wrong. Symbolically, the null and hypotheses are as follows Ho: µ = 28 ml/kg and Hi: µ ≠ 28 ml/kg What value of the test statistic (z) should he report?

Researchers are interested in the effect of pet companionship on depression in elderly adults. They randomly select 25 participants from the target population and record their depression scores before and after spending a month with a dog (a higher score indicates a higher level of depression). The researchers then compute the difference scores for each participant (difference after before). The mean of differences is -1 and the standard deviation of differences is 2. Can the researchers conclude that there is an effect of pet companionship on depression in elderly adults? Conduct the appropriate statistical test (two-tailed) with a = .05. Should you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis? Reject O Fail to reject

Paint used to paint lines on roads must reflect enough light to be clearly visible at night. Researchers have 2 new types of paints they want to test paint type A and paint type B. For each paint type, they tested if there was statistical evidence the average reflectometer reading is greater than 35. To test each type of paint, they used 15 paint samples. Further, suppose the standard deviation is the same for both types of paints. The sample mean for paint type A was 39 and the sample mean for paint type B was 41.5. For both statistical tests, the significance level is set to .05.Which of the following is true? If they fail to reject the null hypothesis for paint type A we can conclude there is statistical evidence the average reflectometer for type A paint is 35. The p-value for the type B paint test is smaller. They rejected the null hypothesis for both paint types. Exactly two of the statements above are true. None are true.
A researcher wants to compare the effectiveness of two different study techniques for a test. The mean test score for the first technique is 75 with a standard deviation of 5, and the mean test score for the second technique is 80 with a standard deviation of 4. The sample size for each group is 20. What is the 95% Confidence Interval for the difference in the mean test scores for the two techniques?
You have a sample of 4 pairs from two populations. The mean of the paired differences is 10 and the standard deviation of the differences is 5. Test the hypothesis, at the 5% level of significance, that the population means are the same. State your conclusion as a sentence including the test statistic and the critical value.
Do the mean weights of male college freshmen and male college seniors differ? There are arguments for and against this question. The mean weight, μx of college freshmen will be compared to the mean weight, My of college seniors. The true values of Mx and My are unknown. It is recognized that the true standard deviations are x = 13 for male college freshmen and dy = 24 for male college seniors. We take a random sample of m = 431 college freshmen and a random sample of n=289 college seniors. The mean weights were x = 178 for male college freshmen and y = 185 for male college seniors. Assuming independence between the samples and assuming the weights are normally distributed we would like to estimate My - My. a) What is the standard deviation of the distribution of x?[ b) What is the standard deviation of the distribution of x-y? c) Create a 95% confidence interval for Mx - Hy? d) What is the length of the confidence interval in part c) ? e) If we let n stay at 289 but vary m, what is the…

a Leche League International reports that the mean age of weaning a child from breastfeeding is age four to five worldwide. In America, most nursing mothers wean their children much earlier. Suppose a random survey is conducted of 21 U.S. mothers who recently weaned their children. The mean weaning age was 9 months (3/4 year) with a standard deviation of 2 months. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the mean weaning age in the U.S. is less than four years old. Conduct a hypothesis test at the 5% level. a. What is the p-value? (Round your answer to four decimal places.) b. What is the test statistic
