Dora recently explored southeast Australia where she found some very large trees known as Eucalyptus raglans or Mountain Ash. She wondered if they were taller, on average, than the coastal Douglas Firs of her native state of Oregon in the United States, which have an average height of 250 feet in old growth areas. Dora measured the heights of 15 Mountain Ash trees in southeast Australia and found an average height of X = 293 ft Suppose s = 25 ft.. Assume the heights of the 15 trees in Dora's sample are representative of the heights of all Mountain Ash trees in southeast Australia. Use a = 0.05.

The drug manufacturer claim that taking gemfibrozil is beneficial to reduce the chance of heart attacks. 2051 men took the medication, and a control group of 2030 men took a placebo. During the next five years, 56 men in the drug group and 84 men in the placebo group had heart attacks. We would like to compare the proportion of men who develop heart attacks between the drug group and the placebo group. What are the correct x1 and x2 values in order to calculate the pooled sample proportion? a) x1=2051, x2=2030 b) x1=2051, x2=84 c) x1=56, x2=2030 O d) x1=56, x2=84
A music fan claims that R&B songs and Rap songs differ in terms of their positivity. The individual collected two independent random samples from the population of all songs on Spotify. Fifteen R&B songs and another fifteen Rap songs were collected and their Valence was recorded. Remember, the variable Valence is measured on a 0 to 1 scale. Songs with high valence sound more positive (e.g. happy, cheerful, euphoric), while songs with low valence sound more negative (e.g. sad, depressed, angry). We will subtract (R&B – Rap) and use the 10% significance level. Assume the Central Limit Theorem conditions hold. The data set is called RBRapSample31. Please import the data set into Rguroo or find it in our group. Define the population parameter in context and symbols in one sentence. State the hypotheses you would use to test the claim that a difference exists in the mean Valence between R&B and Rap songs using correct notation.
Ministry of economic development conducted a survey to determine why people go to trade shows. The respondents were asked to rate a series of reasons on a scale from 1 to 5, with 1 representing little importance and 5 representing great importance. One of the reasons suggested was general curiosity. Responses for 50 people from the electronics industry results in a sample mean of 1.96 and 50 people from the food industry results in a sample mean of 3.02 for general curiosity. Use the data and α = 0.01 to determine whether there is a significant difference between people in these two industries on this question. Assume the variance for the electronics population is 1.0188 and the variance for the food population is 0.9180. Clearly state your null and alternate hypothesis. State the decision rule. Show the calculation of the test statistic. Give your answer to 2 decimal places where appropriate. State the statistical conclusion and explain the result in context of the question.
Use the figure to the right, which shows the percentages of adults from several countries who favor building new nuclear power plants in their country. The survey included random samples of 1051 adults from Country A, 1120 adults from Country B, 1048 adults from Country C, and 1013 adults from Country D. At a =0.05, can you support the claim that the proportion of adults in Country B who favor building new nuclear power plants in their country is different from the proportion of adults from Country C who favor building new nuclear power plants in their country? Assume the random samples are independent. 100- 80- 60 40 20- 0- I Country A 53% I Country B 47% O Country C 46% O Country D 34% Identify the claim and state Ho and Ha.

At the auction of the music collection, there is 1 masterpiece sheet music whose composer is unknown. A professor from the College of Music, Universität der Künste Berlin was asked to analyze who the score composer is. You are asked to help analyze statistically. The professor saw there were 2 names who may have been the composer, namely: Johann Strauss II and Tchaikovsky. The the professor also provides general data, namely the average number of tones per bar of each composer. Give the results of your analysis, who is the composer of the sheet music. Calculations are made using a spreadsheet! Note: Take the last 3 digits of your ID (2602296545 ). Use the step below: 1. For example, for example ID 2602296545 → 545 is taken. 2. Replace number 5 with number 1; example: ID 545 → 145 3. Last 3 digits of your new ID == abc; example 145: a = 1, bc = 45.
The head of a computer science department is interested in estimating the proportion of students entering the department who will choose the new computer engineering option. A preliminary sample indicates that the proportion will be around 0.35. Therefore, what size sample should the department head take if she wants to be 95% confident that the estimate is within 0.10 of the true proportion?
The American Heart Association is about to conduct an anti-smoking campaign and wants to know the fraction of Americans over 38 who smoke. Step 1 of 2: Suppose a sample of 273 Americans over 38 is drawn. Of these people, 79 smoke. Using the data, estimate the proportion of Americans over 38 who smoke. Enter your answer as a fraction or a decimal number rounded to three decimal places. Step 2 of 2: Suppose a sample of 273 Americans over 38 is drawn. Of these people, 79 smoke. Using the data, construct the 85% confidence interval for the population proportion of Americans over 38 who smoke. Round your answers to three decimal places. Lower end point, upper end point

A student pursuing a degree in English as a second language believes the proportion female factory workers who can't speak English is less than the proportion of male factory workers who can't speak English. To test her claim she randomly selects 373 female factory workers and out of them 43 could not speak English. She then randomly selects 215 male factory workers and out of them 65 could not speak English. Test her claim at .=0.05 to see if she was right. The correct hypotheses are: H : PF Pu (claim) H : PF 2 PM HA: PF < Pr (claim) H : PF = PM HA: PF + PM (claim) Since the level of signficance s0.05 the critical value is-1.64s The test statistic is pound to 3 places) The pvalue is round to 3 places) The decision can be made to oreject H, odo not reject í, The final conclusion is that: There is enough evidence to reject the claim that the proportion female factory workers who can't speak English is less than the proportion of male factory workers who can't speak English.
