Find the critical value for a test for correlation with α = 0.01 for a sample size of 18.
200 people were randomly sampled and asked what they regularly eat for breakfast or lunch. Each person was identified as either a consumer or a non consumer of high-fiber cereals, and the number of calories consumed at lunch was measured and recorded. These data are summarized below; Consumer of high fiber cereals Non consumer of high fiber cereals η1 =41 η2 = 159 Mean 1 =603 Mean 2 =639 Stanadard deviation 1 = 110 Standard deviation 2 = 141 If the scientist claims that people who eat high fiber cereals for breakfast do consume on average fewer calories for lunch than people who don’t eat high fiber cereals for breakfast, and if it is true, high fiber cereal manufacturer will be able to claim another advantage of eating their products-potential weight reduction for dieter. REQUIRED Are there sufficient evidence at 5% significance level to support the above claim?
Data on the weights (Ib) of the contents of cans of diet soda versus the contents of cans of the regular version of the soda is summarized to the right. Assume that the two samples are independent simple random samples selected from normally distributed populations, and do not assume that the population standard deviations are equal. Complete parts (a) and (b) below. Use a 0.01 significance level for both parts. Diet Regular H2 27 27 0.79037 lb 0.80399 lb 0.00449 lb 0.00756 lb a.

You wish to test the following daim (Ha) at a significance level of a = 0.001. H.:P1 2 P2 Ha:P1 < P2 You obtain a sample from the first population with 244 successes and 117 failures. You obtain a sample from the second population with 523 successes and 202 failures. test statistic = [three decimal accuracy] p-value = [four decimal accuracy) The p-value is... O less than (or equal to) a O greater than a This test statistic leads to a decision to... O reject the null hypothesis O fail to reject the null hypothesis As such, the final condusion is that... O There is sufficient evidence to support that the first population proportion is less than the second population proportion. There is not sufficient evidence to support that the first population proportion is less than the second population proportion.
A sample of 33 lights in Austin gives an average of 46 cars/min while the city SD=3.4 A sample of 34 Dallas lights give a mean of 44 cars/mim with the city SD=1.4 At the 91% level, do the towns differ? 1.

A study was done using a treatment group and a placebo group. The results are shown in the table. Assume that the two samples are independent simple random H samples selected from normally distributed populations, and do not assume that the population standard deviations are equal. Complete parts (a) and (b) below. Use a 0.01 significance level for both parts. a. Test the claim that the two samples are from populations with the same mean. What are the null and alternative hypotheses? OA. Ho: #₁ = 1₂ H₁: H₁ H₂ OC. Ho: H₁
Let X 1 , … , X n be identically and independently distributed with population mean 9.3 and standard deviation 1.400. Let xbar be the sample mean, xbar = 1 n ∑ i = 1 n X i. Suppose n = 14. What is the mean squared error (MSE) of 0.742*xbar as an estimator for the population mean?
I. There are two samples with means 15 and 18. Both of those samples consist of 24 observations. Sample standard deviations are equal to 4 in both cases. If you want to test whether the difference between the mean in the first and the mean in the second population is equal to 0, what is your decision at the .01 level?
Choose the appropriate statistical test. When computing, be sure to round each answer as indicated. A dentist wonders if depression affects ratings of tooth pain. In the general population, using a scale of 1-10 with higher values indicating more pain, the average pain rating for patients with toothaches is 6.8. A sample of 30 patients that show high levels of depression have an average pain rating of 7.1 (variance 0.8). What should the dentist determine? 1. Calculate the estimated standard error. (round to 3 decimals). [st.error] 2. What is thet-obtained? (round to 3 decimals). 3. What is the t-cv? (exact value) 4. What is your conclusion? Only type "Reject" or Retain"
