In this problem, assume that the distribution of differences is approximately normal. Note: For degrees of freedom d.f. not in the Student's t table, use the closest d.f. that is smaller. In some situations, this choice of d.f. may increase the P-value by a small amount and therefore produce a slightly more "conservative" answer.
Like father, like son: In 1906, the statistician Karl Pearson measured the heights of 1078 pairs of fathers and sons. The following table presents a sample of 6 pairs, with height measured in inches, simulated from the distribution specified by Pearson. Father's Son's height height 70.8 69.8 70.7 70.1 73.3 73.6 76.5 65.7 72.4 71.0 Part: 0 / 4 70.9 Send data to Excel Part 1 of 4 69.1 The least-squares regression line y = b + b₁ x = 47.8026+0.3397x and Σ (x-x)² = 36.5350 are known for this data. Use the critical value method to test H₂ :B₁ = 0 versus H₁ :B₁ +0. Can you conclude that the father's height is useful in predicting the son's height? Use the α = 0.01 level of significance. Find the critical value(s). Round the answer to three decimal places. If there is more than one critical value, separate them with commas. Critical value(s): 0,0,...

The distribution of the number of motor vehicles per household in the United States (the population) and sampling distributions of the mean for samples of size 4 and 10 are shown in below. A.Which distribution is which? Make a rough estimate of the mean and standard deviation of each distribution. Explain the reasons of your choices.b. The mean of the population is about 1.7.

Are these computed SEs consistent with your estimates of the SEs in the histograms? Briefly explain.d. Compare the shapes of the three distributions. Are the shapes consistent with the Central Limit Theorem? Briefly explain.

The annual salary for one particular occupation is normally distributed, with a mean of about $132,000 and a standard deviation of about $16,000. Random samples of 26 are drawn from this population, and the mean of each sample is determined. Find the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of these sample means. Then, sketch a graph of the sampling distribution.

A researcher would like to evaluate the effectiveness of a pain-relief patch designed for back pain. Prior to testing the patch, each of n = 8 patients rates their current level of back pain on a scale from 1 to 10. After wearing the patch for 90 minutes, a second pain rating is recorded. The data are as follows: Before After 6 2 8 3 9 4 8 1 10 2 5 3 9 8 7 7 a. Compute the mean and variance for the sample of difference scores. b. Do the results indicate that the pain-relief patch has an effect? Use a two-tailed test with α = .05 c. Compute Cohen’s d to measure the size of the effect.
