A coin-operated coffee machine made by BIG Corporation was designed to discharge a mean of 7.0 ounces of coffee per cup. If it dispenses more than that on average, the corporation may lose money, and if it dispenses less, the customers may complain. Believing that the mean amount of coffee dispensed by the machine, u, is greater than 7.0 ounces, BIG plans to do a statistical test of the claim that the machine is working as designed. Technicians gather a random sample of fill amounts and find that the mean of the sample is 7.4 ounces and that the standard deviation is 0.3 ounces. Based on this information, answer the questions below. What are the null hypothesis (H) and the alternative hypothesis (H,) that should be used for the test? H: u is ? Η: μs7 In the context of this test, what is a Type I error? v the hypothesis that u is ? ? v. A Type I error is ? v|? when, in fact, u is ? Suppose that BIG decides to reject the null hypothesis. What sort of error might it be making? ?
Professor Hayashi wants to see if a new Canvas Homework system has an effect on how well students perform on Exam 2. The Exam 2 mean for all students who have ever taken his statistic course is 77.2. He collects data from a sample of 9 students who use the new Canvas Homework system. He finds the Exam 2 mean for this sample is 81.7 with a variance of 32.49. What is the effect size using Cohen's D.
Researchers at UT Austin noticed that the seagrass beds in Corpus Cristi Bay (CCB) were taller and thicker than those in Lower Laguna Madre (LLM). They compared the sediment ammonium concentration, in the two locations. Following are the summary statistics on sediment ammonium concentration, in micromoles, obtained by the researchers. Equality of variances is not assumed. CCB: X₁ 115.1, s₁= 79.4, n₁ = 51 LLM: X₂ = 24.3, S₂ 10.5, n₂: 19 = a. At the 1% significance level, is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean sediment ammonium concentration in CCB exceeds that in LLM? b. Determine a 98% confidence interval for the difference μ1-µ2, between the mean sediment ammonium concentrations in CCB and LLM. Interpret your answer in (a) in words. c. Do the results in (a) and (b) provide the consistent results? Explain.
A coin-operated coffee machine made by BIG Corporation was designed to discharge a mean of 7.3 ounces of coffee per cup. If it dispenses more than that on average, the corporation may lose money, and if it dispenses less, the customers may complain. Believing that the mean amount of coffee dispensed by the machine, u, is greater than 7.3 ounces, BIG plans to do a statistical test of the claim that the machine is working as designed. Technicians gather a random sample of fill amounts and find that the mean of the sample is 7.5 ounces and that the standard deviation is 0.6 ounces.

The distribution of a sample of 100 test scores is mound-shaped and symmetrical, with a mean of 50 and a variance of 144. What score corresponds to the 75th percentile? The answer I got is 58.08 however the answer according to my professor is 58.82. How do I get the correct answer
The US Department of Health and Human Services compiles statistics on the consumption of alcohol. An investigator decides to look at the role of age in determining alcohol use. She requests data on the amount of drinking done by three different age groups: 16- to 20-year-olds, 21- to 25-year-olds, and ≥ 26-year-olds. The results come in, and a statistician conducts an analysis of variance. The is that there is no difference between the population means (in other words, there is no treatment effect). The is that at least one of the population means is different from another (in other words, there is an effect of at least one of the treatments). Note: The term “treatment effect” is used even when there is not actually a treatment. The age group is . The treatments (16- to 20-year-olds, 21- to 25-year-olds, and ≥ 26-year-olds) are . Which of the following might contribute to within-treatments variance? Check all that apply. Systematic…
Say we were testing the effects of taking calcium on bone density levels and obtained a positive and significant value for our independent t test result. What would you write (using APA format) when performing a percentage of variance explained test on the data and received a value of r2=.38.
In order to ensure that there is not a large disparity in the quality of education at various schools in a school district, the school board wants to make sure that the variance of the mean standardized-test scores for all students at each school in the district is less than 2. To test this claim, they looked at the mean student scores for the standardized test from a random sample of 27 schools in the district. The results from the survey found that the overall mean was a score of 209.740 with a standard deviation of 1.210. With α=0.05, perform a hypothesis test to determine if the variance is less than 2. Assume that the district standardized-test scores are normally distributed. Step 2 of 3: Compute the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to three decimal places.
A one-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used to examine whether students’ scores on a standardized test is a function of the teaching method they received (either lecture only, hands-on learning only, or both together). The ANOVA was significant. Run post hoc tests (by hand!) to determine which pairs of the mean are significantly different. Do the math for each and then explain in what way are they different.

An engineer designed a valve that will regulate water pressure on an automobile engine. The engineer designed the valve such that it would produce a mean pressure of 7.4 pounds/square inch. It is believed that the valve performs above the specifications. The valve was tested on 280 engines and the mean pressure was 7.5 pounds/square inch. Assume the variance is known to be 0.81. A level of significance of 0.05 will be used. Make a decision to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis. Make a decision.

Noise pollution is measured in decibels. In California any motorcycle made after 1980 may not be any louder than 80 decibels. Harley Davidson claims their mean decibel rating on bikes is 70 with a variance of 10. The variance of the noise is questioned. Just because Harley has a mean that is less than 80, they could still be producing louder than acceptable bikes. The federal EPA conducts a sample of 30 bikes and determines the variance to be 20 decibels. Is there enough evidence to question Harley’s claim of 10 decibels?
