A new thermostat has been engineered for the frozen food cases in large supermarkets. Both the old and new thermostats hold temperatures at an average of 25°F. However, it is hoped that the new thermostat might be more dependable in the sense that it will hold temperatures closer to 25°F. One frozen food case was equipped with the new thermostat, and a random sample of 26 temperature readings gave a sample variance of 4.2. Another similar frozen food case was equipped with the old thermostat, and a random sample of 19 temperature readings gave a sample variance of 12.2. Test the claim that the population variance of the old thermostat temperature readings is larger than that for the new thermostat. Use a 5% level of significance. How could your test conclusion relate to the question regarding the dependability of the temperature readings? (Let population 1 refer to data from the old thermostat.) (a) What is the level of significance?State the null and alternate hypotheses. H0: ?12 =…
Data was collected on the size of towns and the high school drop out rate. A left tailed hypothesis test was performed for r . If the p-value was 0.02 and a = 0.1, then it can be concluded that larger towns tend to have higher drop out rates. true false
It is known that for right-handed people, the dominant (right) hand tends to be stronger. For left-handed people who live in a world designed for right-handed people, the same may not be true. To test this, muscle strength was measured on the right and left hands of a random sample of 15 left-handed men and the difference (left - right) was found. The alternative hypothesis is one-sided (left hand stronger). The resulting t-statistic was 1.80. Assuming the conditions are met, based on the t-statistic of 1.80 the appropriate conclusion for this test using α = .05 is
A recent report states that 55% of U.S. adults use Netflix to stream shows and movies. An advertising company believes the proportion of California residents who use Netflix is greater than the national proportion, because Netflix headquarters is located in Los Gatos, California. The company selects a random sample of 600 adults from California and finds that 360 of them use Netflix. Is there convincing evidence at the alpha = .05 level that more than 55% of California residents use Netflix?
You are a manufacturing engineer with a machine company. The company buys 55 gallon drums of pentrating lubricant. These drums are expensive. The weight of a drum should be 400 pounds. As a new engineer you have been asked to use your Six Sigma Green Beit to determine if these barrels really weigh 400 pounds. Your company knows statistics and has asked you to use a hypothesis test at the 5% level of significance. You select 9 barreis at random and weigh. You find the average weight of the barrels to be 398 pounds with a standard deviation of 22 pounds. Answer the following Your null hypothesis is equal to what? (no decimals) What is the hypothesis test? (greater than or less than) What is your sample size? (no decimal) What is your sample mean? (no decimal) What is your sample standard deviation?

Can I use CRONBACH’S ALPHA in testing the reliability of the device? How?
Give the confidence interval for the regression coefficient Baby considering the following. 40 observations in the sample 90% confidence level • • 4 predictor variables Use the same information in Question 3 to state the hypothesis test, test statistic and decision rule. Write the following regression function in the appropriate matrices if the sample size is 3. Y₁ = Bo + B₁X₁₁ + B₂X₁2 + Ei. Why would we want to obtain a correlation matrix? Explain what 734 means. How would interpret a value of 0.75 for 134? The following data set is obtained. Sixty beetles were researched and the following variables were observed and measured. X₁ = legsize in milimeter X₂=bodylength in grams X3 = weight X₁ = age in months Study the correlation matrix and then formulate a question that can be answered by a regression model. That is, identify a response (dependent variable). X1 X2 X3 X4 X1 1 X2 0.2 1 X3 0.9 0.85 1 X4 0.1 0.13 0.89 1
The U.S. Energy Information Administration claimed that U.S. residential customers used an average of 10,95110,951 kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity this year. A local power company believes that residents in their area use more electricity on average than EIA's reported average. To test their claim, the company chooses a random sample of 184184 of their customers and calculates that these customers used an average of 11,162kWh11,162⁢kWh of electricity last year. Assuming that the population standard deviation is 1263kWh1263⁢kWh, is there sufficient evidence to support the power company's claim at the 0.050.05 level of significance? Step 2 of 3 : Compute the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to two decimal places.
Prior to an intensive TV advertising campaign, the producers of Nike athletic shoes find that 29 of a random sample of 200 upper-income adults are aware of their new leisure shoe line. A second random sample of 300 such adults is taken after the campaign. Now 96 of the persons sampled can identify the new line. Is the increase in the proportion of upper income adults showing brand awareness significant? Test the claim using alpha = .05.
An experimental study examined whether method of daily announcement affects worker productivity. A factory with two facilities with similar worker productivity percentages participated in the study. One facility delivered daily announcements all day on a screen located in the break room. Worker productivity percentages were compared between the two facilities. What is the independent variable? what is the dependent variable? What is the null hypothesis? what is the alternative/research hypothesis? If they reported t(25=1.95 and it is two-tailed, using the critical value, what is tcv? what should the researcher conclude about the null hypothesis? (reject/fail to reject)
A carpenter is making doors that are 2058 millimeters tall. If the doors are too long they must be trimmed, and if they are too short they cannot be used. A sample of 61 doors is made, and it is found that they have a mean of 2044 millimeters with a variance of 729. Is there evidence at the 0.05 level that the doors are either too long or too short? State the null and alternative hypotheses for the above scenario.
A psychologist has developed a standardized test for measuring vocabulary skill for 4 year old children. The scores on the test form a normal distribution with u = 70 and o = 20. A researcher would like to use the test to investigate the hypothesis that children who grow up as an only child develop vocabulary skills at a faster rate than children in larger families. A sample of n=25 only children is obtained and the mean test score for the sample is M = 77. Perform a two tailed hypothesis test, with an alpha level of .05, and add an APA summary.
