Mean wait time. A medical clinic is interested in determining if there is a difference in patients mean wait time in its clinics. They randomly select 3 clinics and calculate the mean wait time for a sample of patients in each clinic. Is there a statistically significance in mean patient wait times at the clinics?

Researchers want to know if a tutoring program affects students’ ACT scores. They used a sample of twenty students and tested them before and after the tutoring program. Use Excel to perform a dependent sample t-test to determine whether the difference between the mean pretest score and the mean posttest score is significantly different. Assume unequal variance.

An amusement park keeps track of the percentage of individuals with season passes according to age category. An independent tourist company would like to show that this distribution of age category for individuals buying season passes is different from what the amusement park claims. The tourist company randomly sampled 200 individuals entering the park with a season pass and recorded the number of individuals within each age category. Age Category Child (under 13 years old) Teen (13 to 19 years old) Adult (20 to 55 years old) Senior (56 years old and over) Number of Individuals 56 86 44 14 The tourist company will use the data to test the amusement park’s claim, which is reflected in the following null hypothesis. H0:pchild=0.23H0:pchild=0.23, pteen=0.45pteen=0.45, padult=0.20padult=0.20, and psenior=0.12psenior=0.12.

The Interpersonal Reactivity Index is a survey designed to assess four different types of empathy. One type of empathy, called Empathetic Concern, measures the tendency to feel sympathy and compassion for people who are less fortunate. The index ranges from 0 (less empathetic) to 28 (more empathetic). The following data, representing random samples of 8 males and 8 females, are consistent with results reported in psychological studies. Boxplots show that it is reasonable to assume that the populations are approximately normal and have equal variances. Males 13 20 14 16 13 26 21 23 Females 22 20 26 25 28 24 16 19 Can you conclude that there is a difference in mean empathy score between men and women? Use a=0.03.

2. Jim Miller works in the personnel department for a car company. He is told by his supervisor to investigate the difference in the average number of sick days between blue collar workers and whitecollar workers. So he obtained a random sample of 9 blue collar workers and a random sample of 9 white collar workers. He records the results below.At 10% level of significance, is there sufficient evidence to indicate a difference in mean sick days between blue collar workers and white collar workers.
A survey was developed to estimate the average number of hours per week that adults spend exercising. Every third person entering a large fitness complex was surveyed, with a total of 2,500 people being surveyed. The data showed that the mean number of hours spent exercising was 3.2 hours per week. Which characteristic of the survey could create a bias in the results? The size of the sample The size of the sample The method of analyzing the data The method of analyzing the data The method of choosing the people who were surveyed The method of choosing the people who were surveyed The size of the population
Restaurant Bill by GenderA study compared the cost of restaurant meals when people pay individually versus splitting the bill as a group. In the experiment half of the people were told they would each be responsible for individual meals costs and the other half were told the cost would be split equally among the six people at the table. In the study, the diners were also chosen so that half the people at each table were female and half were male. We can test for a difference in mean meal cost between females (n1=24, x¯1=44.46, s¯1=15.48) and males (n2=24, x¯2=43.75, s2=14.81).Let group 1 and group 2 be the meal costs for females and males, respectively. state the null and alternative hypotheses calculate the relevant test statistic find the p-value
Does the type of instruction in a college statistics class (either lecture or self-paced) influence students’ performance, as measured by the number of quizzes successfully completed during the semester? Twelve students were recruited for the study. Students received the lecture instruction or a self-paced instruction. The total number of quizzes completed during teach type of instruction appear below.
