- It is desired to compare the yields of two different types of wheat seeds. It was observed that an average of 525 kg of product per hectare and an average of 450 kg of product per hectare was obtained in 200 randomly selected fields, where X' type seeds were sown, and an average of 525 kg of product per hectare in 100 randomly selected fields. Since the error of the difference between the means is 13.93, indicate the confidence limits of the difference between the yields of both wheat seeds with 99% probability.

A study was conducted that measured the total brain volume (TBV) (in mm³) of patients that had schizophrenia and patients that are considered normal. The first table contains the TBV of the non- schizophrenic patients and the second table contains the TBV of schizophrenia patients. Compute a 95% confidence interval for the difference in TBV of non-schizophrenic patients and patients with Schizophrenia. Prior studies say nothing about the equality of variances.

A test is conducted for equality of two population means assuming equal population standard deviation. The square root of sum of squared deviations of data 1 and data 2 from their respective sample central tendencies are calculated as 20.23 and 19.83. If the sample variance used in test statistics is 34.89, what critical value is used in this test?
A quick but imprecise method of estimating the concentration of a polluting chemical in a vat has been developed. Eight samples from the vat are analyzed by this method, as well as four samples by the standard method, which is precise but slow. Compare the means to estimate whether the quick method yields a systematic overestimate or underestimate at α = 0.05. The values by both the methods are tabulated below. Use t test for unequal population variances.Standard Quick25 2324 1825 2226 281725191
From a random sample of 7 students in an introductory finance class that uses group-learning techniques, the mean examination score was found to be 76.64 and the sample standard deviation was 2.7. For an independent random sample of 8 students in another introductory finance class that does not use group-learning techniques, the sample mean and standard deviation of exam scores were 71.65 and 8.4, respectively. Estimate with 99% confidence the difference between the two population mean scores; do not assume equal population variances. A Click the icon to view the Student's t distribution table.

A manufacturer of office machines is considering the production of a new word processor. The decision to start large-scale production of the new machines will be based on the comparison of the mean operating speed using the standard machines (µx) and the mean operating speed using the new machines (µy). Since operators of the machine have varying abilities, a random sample of 20 typists was selected and the speed of each typist in the sample was observed once using the new word processor and once using the standard word processor. The collected data on the speed (in minutes) are as follows: Typist (i) Standard Processor (Xi) 1 2 3 4 5 6. 8 10 60.2 58.7 59.4 60.3 61.7 60.2 64.1 63.2 62.4 57.8 New Processor (Yi) 57.2 57.4 56.4 58.5 60.1 61.4 61.9 60.4 60 56.8 Typist (i) Standard Processor (Xi) 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 55.4 61.2 64.7 64.1 62.9 65.8 69.3 56.4 58.5 63.7 New Processor (Yi) 50.2 58.4 63.5 60.5 62.2 66.3 68.5 56.6 58.3 60.2 Assuming normality, compute a 95% confidence…
Question 19 A manufacture makes light-weight sneakers, and claim that the average weight of one sneaker is no bigger than 2 pounds. To verify this claim, a sample of 9 sneakers are weighed, and the sample mean is 2.4 pounds with the sample variance of 0.25 pounds^2. Assuming the weights of sneakers are normally distributed, we would like to test the claim of the manufacture at 10% level of significance. Please select the correct statement from below:
A researcher wants to estimate the difference between the mean score points of home and visitor teams in a basketball game. For this purpose, researcher randomly selects 24 basketball games and obtains their scores. In these games, home teams' mean score is 80 points with a standard deviation of 35 points while visitor teams' mean score is 79 points with a standard deviation of 10 points. Assuming equal population variances, find the (93)% confidence interval for the difference between the mean score points of home and visitor teams.
A clinical trial is run to investigate the effectiveness of an experimental drug in reducing preterm delivery to a drug considered standard care and to placebo. Pregnant women are enrolled and randomly assigned to receive either the experimental drug, the standard drug or placebo. Women are followed through delivery and classified as delivering preterm (< 37 weeks) or not. The data are shown below. Is there a statistically significant difference in the proportions of women delivering preterm among the three treatment groups? Run the test at a 5% level of significance. Give each of the following 1) the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses; 2) the appropriate test; 3) the decision rule; 4) the calculation of the test statistic; and 5) your conclusion including a comparison to alpha or the critical value.

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.
The university data center has two main computers. The center wants to examine whether computer 1 is receiving tasks that require processing times comparable to those of computer 2 . A random sample of 14 processing times from computer 1 showed a mean of 54 seconds with a standard deviation of 20 seconds, while a random sample of 9 processing times from computer 2 (chosen independently of those for computer 1 ) showed a mean of 61 seconds with a standard deviation of 19 seconds. Assume that the populations of processing times are normally distributed for each of the two computers and that the variances are equal. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference −μ1μ2 between the mean processing time of computer 1 , μ1 , and the mean processing time of computer 2 , μ2 . Then complete the table below. Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places. Round your responses to at least two decimal places. (If necessary, consult a…
