The 2006 Statistical Abstract of the United States reports on a survey that asked a national sample of 80,000 American households about pet ownership. Suppose (for now) that one-third of all American households own a pet cat. This survey found that 32.8% of the households sampled owned a pet cat. Is this number a parameter or a statistic? Calculate the Z-score of this sample proportion (0.328).
Consider the trash bag problem. Suppose that an independent laboratory has tested trash bags and has found that no 30-gallon bags. that are currently on the market have a mean breaking strength of 50 pounds or more. On the basis of these results, the producer of the new, improved trash bag feels sure that its 30-gallon bag will be the strongest such bag on the market if the new trash bag's mean breaking strength can be shown to be at least 50 pounds. The mean of the sample of 45 trash bag breaking strengths in Table 1.10 is = 50.574. If we let u denote the mean of the breaking strengths of all possible trash bags of the new type and assume that a equals 1.69: (a) Calculate 95 percent and 99 percent confidence intervals for u. (Round your answers to 3 decimal places.) 95 percent confidence intervals for u is 99 percent confidence intervals for u is (b) Using the 95 percent confidence interval, can we be 95 percent confident that is at least 50 pounds? 50 95 percent interval is
An investigator tests a claim that vitamin C alters the severity of common colds. To eliminate variability due to different family environments, pairs of children from the same family are randomly assigned to either a treatment group that receives vitamin C or a control group that receives a placebo. Each child estimates, on a 10 point scale, the severity of their colds during the school year. The following scores were obtained from 10 pairs of children. What should the investigator conclude?

Research has shown that, for baseball players, good hip range of motion results in improved performance and decreased body stress. A research article reported on a study of independent samples of 40 professional pitchers and 40 professional position players. For the pitchers, the sample mean hip range of motion was 75.8 degrees and the sample standard deviation was 5.6 degrees, whereas the sample mean and sample standard deviation for position players were 79.9 degrees and 7.2 degrees, respectively. Assuming that the two samples are representative of professional baseball pitchers and position players, test hypotheses appropriate for determining if there is convincing evidence that the mean range of motion for pitchers is less than the mean for position players. (Use ? = 0.05. Use ?1 for pitchers and ?2 for position players.)

A physical therapist wanted to know whether the mean step pulse of men was less than the mean step pulse of women. She randomly selected 52 men and 73 women to participate in the study. Each subject was required to step up and down a 6-inch platform. The pulse of each subject was then recorded. The following results were obtained. (a) State the null and alternative hypotheses. Which of the following is correct? OC. Hgi H1 =H2i H H2 (b) Identify the P-value and state the researcher's conclusion if the level of significance was a = 0.02. What is the P-value? P.value =
To identify the correct Z(critical), it is important to determine whether the hypothesis test is one-tailed or two-tailed. The decision between a one- and two-tailed hypothesis is based on the researcher's expectations about the population from which the sample was selected. Many people believe that millennials are having more sex than people during the sexual revolution. You wonder whether the cohort currently in their twenties had sex at an earlier age than older generations. Assume that the the average age of first sexual intercourse is 17.4 years. You obtain a sample that yields a sample mean of X = 15.9 years. Let u denote the average age of first sexual intercourse. Formulate your null and research hypotheses by selecting the appropriate values in the dropdown menus that follow. Ho: (H₁: The test you conduct is test. Note: A one-tailed test is described as a lower-tailed test if the null hypothesis is rejected for values of the test statistic in the lower tail of its…
Suppose I get a test statistic z = 2.34. If I am using a one tailed test, what is my p value? You should not have to round if you are using the table. If you are not, round to four decimal points.
A researcher knows that the weights of 6 year olds are normally distributed with m = 20 kg and s = 5.0. She suspects that children in poverty-stricken regions differ from the population. With a sample of n = 25 children, the researcher obtains a mean of 17 kg. Identify and calculate the appropriate test statistic.Make sure to report the degrees of freedom for the statistical test (if appropriate). State your conclusions (use a two-tailed test with a = .05 for all tests). Compute an effect size.

A market research firm used a sample of individuals to rate the purchase potential of a particular product before and after the individuals saw a new television commercial about the product. The purchase potential ratings were based on a 0 to 10 scale, with higher values indicating a higher purchase potential. The null hypothesis stated that the mean rating "after" would be less than or equal to the mean rating "before." Rejection of this hypothesis would show that the commercial improved the mean purchase potential rating. Use α = 0.05 and the following data to test the hypothesis and comment on the value of the commercial. Ha: a: Md is greater than 0 What are the hypotheses? Ho: Md is less than or equal to 0 Compute to 3 decimals). Individual Compute Sd (to 1 decimal). 1 2 3 4 Purchase Rating Before After 6 6 8 5 5 LO 5 8 3 Individual What is the p-value?

Do people walk faster in an airport when they are departing (getting on a plane) or after they have arrived (getting off a plane)? An interested passenger watched a random sample of people departing and a random sample of people arriving and measured the walking speed (in feet per minute) of each. A hypothesis test is to be performed to determine if the mean walking speed is different between departing and arriving passengers at an airport. Suppose the p-value is 0.14. What is an appropriate conclusion? Choose the correct answer below. O A. There is sufficient evidence at the 5% significance level to indicate that the mean walking speeds for arriving and departing passengers are the same. B. There is not sufficient evidence at the 5% significance level to indicate that the mean walking speeds for arriving and departing passengers are different. C. There is not sufficient evidence at the 5% significance level to indicate that the mean walking speeds for arriving and departing passengers…
