Erin wants to know if warming up will help runners sprint faster. Twenty-six track and field athletes volunteered to participate in her study. She randomly assigns 13 athletes to warm-up for 10 minutes. All 26 participants sprint the same distance. She calculates the mean for each group and determines that the mean for the warm-up group was 10.9 seconds, and the mean for the other group was 12.9 seconds. To test the difference of means she re-randomized the data 54 times, and the differences are plotted in the dot plot below. What can Erin conclude from her study? -2.5 -2.0 -1.5 -1.0 -0.5 0.0 0.5 1.0 1.5 2.0 O The difference in the means is not significant because a difference of 2 is not very likely. O The difference in the means is not significant because a difference of 2 is very likely. O The difference in the means is significant because a difference of 2 is very likely. O The difference in the means is significant because a difference of 2 is not very likely.

It’s assumed that students need to stay awake more to study during finals week. One way to measure this is how much coffee is consumed during Finals week at night. A local coffee house near APU counted the number of cups of coffee sold per hour during Finals week after 6 p.m. We randomly select ten (10) hours of sales records during Finals week and find out that the following number of cups of coffee were consumed: 18, 17, 22, 14, 17, 20, 22, 24, 15, 15 By comparison, the sales records from a previous week were used as a comparison. The following number of cups of coffee were consumed over a seven (7) hour period: 9, 13, 5, 15, 17, 10, 11 a. Determine what is the appropriate statistical procedure, with a brief explanation (one sentence) as to why this is the appropriate procedure. b. State the null hypothesis. c.

Cris Turlock owns and manages a small business in San Francisco, California. The business provides breakfast and brunch food, via carts parked along sidewalks, to people in the business district of the city. Being an experienced businessperson, Cris provides incentives for the salespeople operating the food carts. This year, she plans to offer monetary bonuses to her salespeople based on their individual mean daily sales. Her first task is to see if there is a significant difference in the mean daily sales among the different salespeople. She chooses a "sample" of days for each salesperson and records the sales for each day. She then runs a one-way, independent-samples ANOVA test to determine whether or not she can conclude that at least one salesperson's performances is significantly different from the others. (Otherwise, she'll split the bonuses evenly among all the salespeople.) In her ANOVA, the "groups" are the different salespeople, and the variable of interest is the daily sales…

The NAEP music assessment scores for eighth grade students are approximately N (150, 35). Find the z-scores by standardizing the following scores: 150, 140, 100, 180, and 230. The percentile score is the proportion of students who would score LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO the score for the individual student. Compute the percentile scores for the five scores.
A contributor for the local newspaper is writing an article for the weekly fitness section. To prepare for the story, she conducts a study to compare the exercise habits of people who exercise in the morning to the exercise habits of people who work out in the afternoon or evening. She selects three different health centers from which to draw her samples. The 57 people she sampled who work out in the morning have a mean of 4.8 hours of exercise each week. The 56 people surveyed who exercise in the afternoon or evening have a mean of 4.2 hours of exercise each week. Assume that the weekly exercise times have a population standard deviation of 0.8 hours for people who exercise in the morning and 0.3 hours for people who exercise in the afternoon or evening. Let Population 1 be people who exercise in the morning and Population 2 be people who exercise in the afternoon or evening. Step 1 of 2 : Construct a 95% confidence interval for the true difference between the mean amounts…
As part of a sixth-grade class project the teacher brings to class a jar containing 200 gumballs of two different colors: red and green. Andy is asked to draw a sample of his own choosing and estimate the number of red gumballs in the jar. Andy draws a sample of 25 gumballs, of which 8 are red and 17 are green. Use Andy's sample to estimate the number of red gumballs in the jar. There are approximately Answer red gumballs in the jar.
