For a 90% confidence interval, a .10 and /2 =.05 so 2/2 Z 05 which is the z-Score leaving .05 in each tail. I could find this scanning my z-table 'backwords' looking for the z-score that has an area of .45000 between 0 and Z. My table doesn't give this to me directly, but I can see that this z-score would be between 1.64 and 1.65. I could also find this z-score using my t-table. Here if I want the area in the tail to be, .05, the area to the left of my mark is .95 (this causes errors for some as they are making a 90% confidence interval, but using the column labeled .95). Looking at the bottom line of the t-table (for df = 00) and the column for .95, we find Z 05 = 1.645. The third way we can get Z 05 is to go to 'distr' on our calculator to find InvNorm(.05) = -1.645. This tells us that -1.645 is the z-score that leaves an area of .05 in the left tail. By symmetry we know that 1.645 will leave .05 in the right tail.

The average midterm score in a large statistics class was 60 with an SD of 5. The average final score in the same class was 80 with an SD of 15. The correlation coefficient between midterm and final scores was r=0.6. Using the regression line, we predict the final score of a student with a midterm score of 70 to be but this prediction is likely to be off by about Fill in the blanks, rounding each answer to one decimal point.
Suppose that a researcher, using data on 150 randomly selected bicycles, estimates the OLS regression: Price=672.65-2.12x Weight, (185.8) (0.42) where Price measures the price of the th bike in dollars and Weight measures the weight of the th bike in kilograms. The 99% confidence interval for the intercept, ßo, will be (, ). (Round your answers to two decimal places.)

A researcher collects data from 65 people to see if there is a relation between anxiety and memory in high school students. The researcher finds the following descriptive statistics: Xbar= 25.5, sX = 4.3, Ybar = 15.6, sY = 3.2, SSX = 198.4, SSY = 1152.3, and SP = 220.4. Test for a significant relation at α =0.05.

Gary has discovered a new painting tool to help him in his work. If he can prove to himself that the painting tool reduces the amount of time it takes to paint a room, he has decided to invest in a tool for each of his helpers as well. From records of recent painting jobs that he completed before he got the new tool, Gary collected data for a random sample of 7 medium-sized rooms. He determined that the mean amount of time that it took him to paint each room was 3.4 hours with a standard deviation of 0.3 hours. For a random sample of 6 medium-sized rooms that he painted using the new tool, he found that it took him a mean of 3.2 hours to paint each room with a standard deviation of 0.2 hours. At the 0.05 level, can Gary conclude that his mean time for painting a medium-sized room without using the tool was greater than his mean time when using the tool? Assume that both populations are approximately normal and that the population variances are equal. Let painting times without using…
Researchers wish to investigate whether anxiety in children has increased over time. In 1950, the average score on the Child Manifest Anxiety Scale was µ= 15.1. A sample of n = 16 was taken from children today, which produced a mean anxiety score of M= 23.3 with SS= 240. Based on the sample, has there been a significant change in the average level of childhood anxiety since 1950? (Use a 2-tailed test with α= .05) Write a sentence describing the outcome of the hypothesis test as it would appear in a research report.
