For the following scenario, answer the questions below. Please note, do not conduct inference in this problem; just answer each question. Frito-Lay produces a 10 ounce family size bag of the regular potato chips and a 9.5 ounce family size bag of wavy potato chips. Both of these bags are sold for the same price. A researcher wants to test the claim that there is really a difference in the mean weight of bags for the two types of potato chips despite being listed for two different weights. Random samples of 18 bags of each variety were selected and you may assume each sample was selected from a very large population. The data set is called “Regular and Wavy Potato Chips Weights. a) What is the parameter of interest? Choose one of the following symbols u (the population mean); µD (the mean difference from paired (dependent) data); µi difference of two independent means); and describe the parameter in context of this question in one sentence. - µ2 (the

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 of time…

An educational psychologist is comparing two instructional approaches. She teaches people using visual aids for Approach A, and uses verbal materials for Approach B, and then gives a test after using each approach. The same individuals were used as students of both instructional approaches. She thinks people learn differently when they have visual aids than verbal materials. Approach A:Mean: 26.0 Std. Dev: 8.5 N: 16 Approach B:Mean: 27.0 std. dev: 10.0 N = 16 Difference A-B:mean : -1.0 Std. Dev: 14.0 N = 16 A). Complete test statistic and critical values, which tails B). Conclusion

You may need to use the appropriate technology to answer this question. Suppose the mean price for used cars is $10,198. A manager of a Kansas City used car dealership reviewed a sample of 50 recent used car sales at the dealership in an attempt to determine whether the population mean price for used cars at this particular dealership differed from the national mean.
