- Dean Halverson recently read that full-time college students study 20 hours each week. She decides to do a study at her university to see if there is evidence that students study an average of less than 20 hours each week. A random sample of 30 students were asked to keep a diary of their activities over a period of several weeks. It was found that he average number of hours that the 30 students studied each week was 18.7 hours. The sample standard deviation of 3.4 hours. Find the p-value. The p-value should be rounded to 4-decimal places.Lucy recently switched her primary doctor to one specializing in caring for elderly patients. On her new doctor's website, it says that the mean systolic blood pressure among elderly females is 120 millimeters of mercury (mmHg). Lucy believes the value is actually higher. She bases her belief on a recently reported study of 19 randomly selected, elderly females. The sample mean systolic blood pressure was 132 mmHg, and the sample standard deviation was 24 mmHg. Assume that the systolic blood pressures of elderly females are approximately normally distributed. Based on the study, at the 0.05 level of significance, can it be concluded that μ, the population mean systolic blood pressure among elderly females, is greater than 120 mmHg? Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) esc (a) State the null hypothesis H and the alternative hypothesis H₁. Ho: H₁:0 (b)…A new small business wants to know if its current radio advertising is effective. The owners decide to look at the mean number of customers who make a purchase in the store on days immediately following days when the radio ads are played as compared to the mean for those days following days when no radio advertisements are played. They found that for 1010 days following no advertisements, the mean was 18.618.6 purchasing customers with a standard deviation of 1.51.5 customers. On 77 days following advertising, the mean was 20.320.3 purchasing customers with a standard deviation of 0.90.9 customers. Test the claim, at the 0.020.02 level, that the mean number of customers who make a purchase in the store is lower for days following no advertising compared to days following advertising. Assume that both populations are approximately normal and that the population variances are equal. Let days following no advertisements be Population 1 and let days following advertising be Population 2.…

It believes that people who take Praxor will average a greater decrease in cholesterol level than people taking a placebo. After the experiment is complete, the researchers find that the 44 participants in the treatment group lowered their cholesterol levels by a mean of 18.7 points with a standard deviation of 3.3 points. The 39 participants in the control group lowered their cholesterol levels by a mean of 18.1 points with a standard deviation of 2.1 points. Assume that the population variances are not equal and test the company’s claim at the 0.02 level. Let the treatment group be Population 1 and let the control group be Population 2.

The mean was found to be 16 bottles with a standard deviation of 4 bottles. The health authorities’ guidelines advise that it is healthy for people to consume fewer than 12 bottles a week. What proportion of the population did so? It is desirable to consume between 12 and 18 bottles of alcohol a week. What proportion of people was within this range? It is known that it is dangerous to consume more than 25 bottles a week. How many adults out of a sample of 200 over consumed alcohol?

It believes that people who take Praxor will average a greater decrease in cholesterol level than people taking a placebo. After the experiment is complete, the researchers find that the 46 participants in the treatment group lowered their cholesterol levels by a mean of 19.5 points with a standard deviation of 4.9 points. The 37 participants in the control group lowered their cholesterol levels by a mean of 18.4 points with a standard deviation of 4.1 points. Assume that the population variances are not equal and test the company's claim at the 0.02 level. Let the treatment group be Population 1 and let the control group be Population 2. Step 2 of 3: Compute the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to three decimal places.According to Kaiser Family Foundation survey in 2011 and 2010, the average premium for employer-sponsored health insurance for family coverage was $15,073 in 2011 and $13,770 in 2010 (USA TODAY, September 29, 2011). Suppose that these averages were based on random samples of 250 and 200 employees who had such employer-sponsored health insurance plans for 2011 and 2010, respectively. Further assume that the population standard deviations for 2011 and 2010 were $2160 and $1990, respectively.
- A newly hired basketball coach promised a high- paced attack that will put more points on the board than the team's previously tepid offense historically managed. After a few months, the team owner looks at the data to test the coach's claim. He takes a sample of 36 of the team's games under the new coach and finds that they scored an average of 101 points with a standard deviation of 6 points. Over the past 10 years, the team had averaged 99 points. What is(are) the appropriate critical value(s) to test the new coach's claim at the 1% significance level? -2.438 -2.438 and 2.438 2.326 2.438Salma recently switched her primary doctor to one specializing in caring for elderly patients. On her new doctor's website, it says that the mean systolic blood pressure among elderly females is 115 millimeters of mercury (mmHg). Salma believes the value is actually higher. She bases her belief on a recently reported study of 21 randomly selected, elderly females. The sample mean systolic blood pressure was 118 mmH, and the sample standard deviation was 21 mmHg. Assume that the systolic blood pressures of elderly females are approximately normally distributed. Based on the study, at the 0.10 level of significance, can it be concluded that y, the population mean systolic blood pressure among elderly females, is greater than 115 mmHg? Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.)According to the Insurance Association in US, the average annual expenditure for automobile insurance is $605. Suppose that in a simple random sample of 80 residents of New York, for most recent year their average expenditure was $638.62 with the standard deviation of $106.05. Based on these data, examine whether the average annual insurance for motorists in New York might be different from that in national level. Using the 0.05 level of significance, what conclusion do you reach? Also, construct and interpret 95% confidence interval for the population mean. Is the hypothesized mean within the interval? Is this consistent with the findings of the hypothesis test conducted?
