In a statistics class, students took their pulses before and after being frightened. The frightening event was having the teacher scream and run from one side of the room to the other. The pulse rates (beats per minute) of the women before and after the scream were obtained separately and are shown in the accompanying table. Treat this as though it were a random sample of female community college students. Test the hypothesis that the mean of college women's pulse rates is higher after a fright, using a significance level of 0.05. Click the icon to view the table of pulse rates before and after the scream. Step 1: Hypothesize Let Hbefore be the population mean number of beats per minute before the scream, and let Hafter be the population mean number of beats per minute after the scream. Determine the hypotheses for this test. Use µdifference = Hbefore - Hafter: Choose the correct answer below. O A. Ho: Hdifference =0 Ha: Hdifference B. Ho: Hdifference 0 Ha: Hdifference = 0 O C. Ho:…
Suppose you are interested in buying a new Lincoln Navigator or Town Car. You are standing on the sales lot looking at a model with different options. The list price is on the vehicle. As a salesperson approaches, you wonder what the dealer invoice price is for this model with its options. The following data are based on a random selection of these cars of different models and options. Let y be the dealer invoice (in thousands of dollars) for the given vehicle. x 32.4 32.9 36.1 44.0 47.8 y 30.4 31.0 32.0 42.1 42.2 (a) Verify that Σx = 193.2, Σy = 177.7, Σx2 = 7656.22, Σy2 = 6462.41, Σxy = 7029.62, and r ≈ 0.975.
