In an efiort co counteract student cheating, the professor of a large class created four versions of a midterm exam, distributing the four versions among the 336 students in the class, so that each version was given to 84 students. After the exam, the professor computed the following information about the scores (the exam was worth 200 points): Sample Sample Sample size Group mean variance Version A 84 156.8 472.4 Version B 84 151.7 288.1 Version C 84 152.1 488.9 Version D 84 155.3 397.3 Send data to calculator Send data to Excel The professor is willing to assume that the populations of scores from which the above samples were drawn are approximately normally distributed and that each has the same mean and the same variance. Answer the following, carrying your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places and rounding your responses to at least one decimal place. (a) Give an estimate of this common population variance by pooling the sample variances given. (b) Give an estimate of this common population variance based on the variance of the sample means given.

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.

According to data from the Tobacco Institute Testing Laboratory, a certain brand of cigarette contains an average of 1.4 milligrams of nicotine. An advocacy group questions this figure, and commissions an independent test to see if the the mean nicotine content is higher than the industry laboratory claims. The test involved randomly selecting n = 15 cigarettes, measuring the nicotine content (in milligrams) of each cigarette. The data is given below: 1.8, 1.8, 1.5, 1.1, 1.4, 1.3, 1.3, 1.4, 1.1, 1.3, 1.6, 1.2, 1.8, 1.4, 1.6; Download .csv file Not sure how to perform some of the tasks with R-Studio?

A healthcare provider monitors the number of CAT scans perfomed each month in each of its clinics. The most recent year of data for a particular clinics follows (the reported variable is the number of CAT scans each month expressed as the number of CAT scans per thousand members of the health plan): 2.31, 2.09, 2.36, 1.95, 1.98, 2.25, 2.16, 2.07, 1.88, 1.94, 1.97, 2.02. Find a two-sided 95% confidence interval for the standard deviation. What should you do to address any reservations about this confidence interval? Round your answers to two decimal places (e.g. 98.76).

A certain virus affects 0.7% of the population. A test used to detect the virus in a person is positive 87% of the time if the person has the virus (true positive) and 14% of the time if the person does not have the virus (false positive). Fill out the remainder of the following table and use it to answer the two questions below based on a total sample of 100,000 people. Virus No Virus TotalPositive Test Negative Test Total 100,000a) Find the probability that a person has the virus given that they have tested positive.
