In Izmir University of Economics, a statistics instructor is interested in the ability of students to assess the difficulty of a test they have taken in the statistic course. This test was taken by a large group of students in the course, and the average score was 94.4. A random sample of eight students was asked to predict this average score. Their predictions are shown below. Assuming a normal distribution, test the null hypothesis that the population mean prediction would be 94.4. Use a two-sided alternative and a 5% significance level. 74 81 75 66 62 72 99 82 D Click the icon to view the upper critical values of the Student's t distribution.

A geologist is making guesses about the mean length of fossil teeth of a certain species found in a location. According to her judgment, the probability is 0.25 that their mean will be higher than 17.8 cm, and the probability is 0.15 that they will be higher than 19.2 cm. If the geologist’s uncertainty about the length of the teeth can be represented by a normal distribution, what are the mean and variance of that distribution?
A researcher was interested in comparing the mean grade-point-average (GPA) of students at the University of Toronto Scarborough and Mississauga campuses. Independent random samples of 8 students from the Scarborough campus and 13 students from the Mississauga campus yielded the following GPAs. You can assume the data in each group follow a normal distribution. Do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean GPA of students at the Scarborough campus different from the mean GPA of students at the Mississauga campus? A. What statistical test is most appropriate to answer this question? B. Identify the relevant assumptions and conditions. State how these have or have not been met. C. Write an appropriate null and alternative hypothesis for this question.
An immunologist wants to compare two rabies vaccines. People who had previously received the vaccine were divided into two groups. The first group received a booster dose of type I vaccine and the second group received a booster dose of type II vaccine. Two weeks later the antibody level was measured. The average number of antibodies in each group appears in the following table: Do these data indicate that there is a difference in the effectiveness of the two vaccines used for booster doses? Assume a normal distribution and equal population variances. What type of hypothesis test will allow us to reach a conclusion in the situation posed above? A. Variance test B. Unilateral for difference in proportions C. Bilateral for average difference D. Unilateral for change in effectiveness
A certain prescription medicine is supposed to contain an average of 250 parts per million (ppm) of a certain chemical. If the concentration is higher than this, the drug may cause harmful side effects; if it is lower, the drug may be ineffective. The manufacturer runs a check to see if the mean concentration in a large shipment conforms to the target level of 250 ppm or not. A simple random sample of 100 portions is tested, and the sample mean concentration is found to be 247 ppm. The sample concentration standard deviation is s = 12 ppm. What are the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses? Group of answer choices H 0: x̄ = 250 vs. H a: x̄ < 250 H 0: x̄ = 250 vs. H a: x̄ ≠ 250 H 0: x̄ = 250 vs. H a: x̄ > 250 H 0: μ = 250 vs. H a:μ < 250 H 0: μ = 250 vs. H a: μ ≠ 250 H 0: μ = 250 vs. H a: μ > 250
Español A r.able indicator of a baby's health is the weight gained in the fir year of the baby's life. Assume that the population of all such weight gains for baby boys is approximately normally distributed. A study claimed that the mean of this population is 3.454 kg. As a practicing pediatrician, you want to test this claim. So, you select a random sample of baby boys, and you record the weight each gained in their first year. Follow the steps below to construct a 95% confidence interval for the population mean of all the weight gains for baby boys in their first year. Then state whether the confidence interval you construct contradicts the study's claim. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) Click on "Take Sample" to see the results for your random sample. Take Sample Sample size: 0 Point estimate: 0 Sample standard deviation: 0 Critical value: 0 Enter the values of the sample size, the point estimate of the mean, the sample standard deviation, and the critical value you…
A recent Gallup Poll interviewed a random sample of 1523 adults. Of these, 868 bought a lottery tickets in the past year. Suppose that in fact (unknown to Gallup) exactly 60% of all adults bought a lottery ticket in the past year. If Gallup took many simple random samples of 1,523 people, the sample proportion who bought a ticket would vary from sample to sample. The sampling distribution would be close to normal with a mean of 0.6 and a standard deviation of___ A)0.4899 B)0.0251 C)0.00016 D)0.0126

Prices of basic commodities are often greatly affected by typhoons. During the aftermath of recent typhoon, the prices of tilapia were reported to have been sold at ₱20 – ₱25 more per kilogram at local wet markets. However, the price was back to its normal mean price at ₱100 per kilo one week after. If a random sample of 10 tilapia sales transactions from local wet markets have prices (in pesos per kilo) of 107, 115, 130, 95, 100, 105, 98, 116, 104, 100. Assuming that the tilapia prices are normally distributed, is there sufficient evidence to say that the mean price of tilapia in these markets is greater than ₱100? Use a 0.05 level of significance. State the null and alternative hypotheses: Ho: ________ (symbols) Ho: _______________________________ (statement) Ha: _________ (symbols) Ha: _______________________________ (statement)
A researcher is conducting a study to determine the mean trough dosage of medication for a population. Assume a previous study was conducted for the same medication and the mean trough dose was found to be 490 mg with a standard deviation of 30 mg. If the researcher wants to be 95% confident the true mean trough dosage of the medication is within 10 mg of the true mean trough dosage, what sample size is needed if the study is predicted to have an 76% retention rate? n = 50 n = 71 n = 47 n = 104
