IQ scores among the general population have a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 14. A researcher claims that the standard deviation, 6, of IQ scores for females is not equal to 14. A random sample of 24 IQ scores for females had a mean of 98 and a standard deviation of 11. Assuming that IQ scores for females are approximately normally distributed, is there significant evidence (at the 0.05 level of significance) to conclude that the researcher's claim is correct? Perform a two-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places and round your answers as specified below. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.)

A study was conducted to assess the effects that occur when children are exposed to cocaine before birth. Children were tested at age 4 for object assembly skill, which was described as "a task requiring visual-spatial skills related to mathematical competence." The 182 children born to cocaine users had a mean of 7.4 and a standard deviation of 2.9. The 181 children not exposed to cocaine had a mean score of 8.3 with a standard deviation of 3.1. Assume that the two samples are independent simple random samples selected from normally distributed populations, and do not assume that the population standard deviations are equal. Let population 1 be children born to cocaine users. The test statistic is The P-value is Test the claim in part (a) by using a confidence interval. The ________% confidence interval estimate is ____<μ1−μ2< ____.
A questionnaire of spending habits was given to a random sample of university students in Turkey. Each student was asked to record and report the amount of money they spent on textbooks in a semester. Determine the sample size needed to be 96% confident that the true mean amount that is spent for textbooks (of university students) is within $5 of the sample estimate. It is known that the standard deviation of the population is $61.
In 2002, the mean age of an inmate on death-row was 40.7 years, according to data from the US Department of Justice. Suppose a sociologist wondered whether the mean age of a death-row inmate has decreased since then. She randomly selects 52 death-row inmates and finds that their mean age is 37.9 years, with a standard deviation of 7.6. Has the mean age decrease significantly since 2002? Perform a hypothesis test.
The average American consumes 91 liters of alcohol per year. Does the average college student consume a different amount of alcohol per year? A researcher surveyed 15 randomly selected college students and found that they averaged 72 liters of alcohol consumed per year with a standard deviation of 23 liters. What can be concluded at the a = 0.01 level of significance? a. For this study, we should use Select an answer b. The null and alternative hypotheses would be: Ho: ? v Select an answer v H: ? v | Select an answer v c. The test statistic ? (please show your answer to 3 decimal places.) d. The p-value = (Please show your answer to 4 decimal places.) e. The p-value is ? v a f. Based on this, we should Select an answer v the null hypothesis. g. Thus, the final conclusion is that ... O The data suggest the populaton mean is significantly different from 91 at a = 0.01, so there is statistically significant evidence to conclude that the population mean amount of alcohol consumed by…
The concentration of benzene was measured in units of milligrams per liter for a simple random sample of five specimens of untreated wastewater produced at a gas field. The sample mean was 4.6 with a sample standard deviation of 2.7. Seven specimens of treated wastewater had an average benzene concentration of 7.9 with a standard deviation of 2.3. It is reasonable to assume that both samples come from populations that are approximately normal. Can you conclude that the mean benzene concentration differs between treated water and untreated water? Let h1 denote the mean benzene concentration for untreated water and h2 denote the mean benzene concentration for treated water. Use the a=0.05 level the p-value method with the TI-84 Plus calculator. please show p value!
An economist was curious if the mean yearly amount of seafood consumed in Sweden is significantly different than the mean yearly consumption in the United States. They randomly selected 125 citizens in Sweden and determined their sample mean is 12 kg with a standard deviation of 5.2 kg. The 140 randomly selected U.S. citizens had a sample mean of 9.7 kg with a standard deviation of 5.8 kg. Is this sufficient evidence to say that the mean consumption is different? Which are the correct hypothesis statements for this situation? Hoμs Hus HAμs=Pus H。 ¦ µ¸ = Pus HAμs Hus Hoµs=Pus HAHs>Hus Hop=0.10 ΗΑ : μ > 0. 10
Suppose that IQ scores have a bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 103 and a standard deviation of 14. Using the empirical rule, what percentage of IQ scores are at least 145?
In a test of the effectiveness of garlic for lowering cholesterol, 81 subjects were treated with raw garlic. Cholesterol levels were measured before and after the treatment. The changes (before minus after) in their levels of LDL cholesterol (in mg/dL) have a mean of 0.9 and a standard deviation of 21.5. Use a 0.10 significanc level to test the claim that with garlic treatment, the mean change in LDL cholesterol is greater than 0. What do the results suggest about the effectiveness of the gar treatment? Assume that a simple random sample has been selected. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses, test statistic, P-value, and state the final conclusion that addresses the original claim.
The average American consumes 86 liters of alcohol per year. Does the average college student consume more alcohol per year? A researcher surveyed 11 randomly selected college students and found that they averaged 95.8 liters of alcohol consumed per year with a standard deviation of 20 liters. What can be concluded at the the a = 0.05 level of significance? a. For this study, we should use t-test for a population mean O b.

Bone mineral density (BMD) is a measure of bone strength. Studies show that BMD declines after age 45. The impact of exercise may increase BMD. A random sample of 59 women between the ages of 41 and 45 with no major health problems were studied. The women were classified into one of two groups based upon their level of exercise activity: walking women and sedentary women. The 39 women who walked regularly had a mean BMD of 5.96 with a standard deviation of 1.22. The 20 women who are sedentary had a mean BMD of 4.41 with a standard deviation of 1.02. Which of the following inference procedures could be used to estimate the difference in the mean BMD for these two types of women
