Forty refrigerators from two different models of a refrigerator manufacturer are compared to see if the smaller model uses less energy than the larger model. The energy was measured in kilowatt hours per month (kwh/mo). From years of testing these models, it is known that the standard deviation of kwh/mo is 34 kwh/mo for the smaller model and 40 kwh/mo for the larger one. From this survey, the sample means and standard deviations are 125 and 34, and 90 and 40, respectively. If we conduct a hypothesis test, the p-value is Group of answer choices 0.0000 0.0010 0.0004 0.0002
A study is done to determine which of two soft drinks has more sugar. There are 13 cans of Beverage A in a sample and six cans of Beverage B. The mean amount of sugar in the sample for Beverage A is 36 grams with a standard deviation of 0.6 grams. The mean amount of sugar in the sample Beverage B is 38 grams with a standard deviation of 0.8 grams. The researchers believe that Beverage B has more sugar than Beverage A, on average. Both populations have normal distributions. What is the p-value? Round to 4 decimal places.
You wish to evaluate the differences in educational quality between two training centres (A and B). You take a random sample of 98 individuals trained at centre A, and an independent random sample of 41 individuals trained at centre B. The individuals in both samples take the same, standardised test. The mean test score of individuals in sample A is 85.1 and the sample standard deviation is 12.2. The mean test score in sample B is 67.4 and the sample standard deviation is 11.0. Find the lower limit of a 98% confidence interval for the difference between the population means. Form the confidence interval around a positive point estimate for the difference between the means. In order to obtain a positive point estimate, make sure you subtract the lower value from the higher value when calculating the difference between the sample means. (Provide your answer as a number rounded to 2 decimal places.)
For a study conducted by the research department of a pharmaceutical company, 235 randomly selected individuals were asked to report the amount of money they spend annually on prescription allergy relief medication. The sample mean was found to be $17.80 with a standard deviation of $4.30 . A random sample of 250 individuals was selected independently of the first sample. These individuals reported their annual spending on non-prescription allergy relief medication. The mean of the second sample was found to be $18.20 with a standard deviation of $4.00 . As the sample sizes were quite large, it was assumed that the respective population standard deviations of the spending for prescription and non-prescription allergy relief medication could be estimated as the respective sample standard deviation values given above. Construct a 90% confidence interval for the difference −μ1μ2 between the mean spending on prescription allergy relief medication ( μ1 ) and the mean…
Are low-fat diets or low-carb diets more effective for weight loss? A sample of 61 subjects went on a low-carbohydrate diet for six months. At the end of that time, the sample mean weight loss was 2.1 kilograms with a sample standard deviation of 4.71 kilograms. A second sample of 63 subjects went on a low-fat diet. Their sample mean weight loss was 3.7 kilograms with a standard deviation of 5.67 kilograms. Can you conclude that the mean weight loss of subjects having low-carb diets is less than the mean weight loss of subjects having low-fat diets? Let μ1 denote the mean weight loss on the low-carb diet and μ2 denote the mean weight loss on the low-fat diet. Use the =α0.05 level and the critical value method. 1) State the appropriate null and alternate hypotheses. 2)Choose a significance level and find the critical value. 3)Compute the test statistic. To compute the test statistic, we use the formula 4)Determine whether to reject H0.
A pharmaceutical company needs to know if its new cholesterol drug, Praxor, is effective at lowering cholesterol levels. It believes that people who take Praxor will average a greater decrease in cholesterol level than people taking a placebo. After the experiment is complete, the researchers find that the 38 participants in the treatment group lowered their cholesterol levels by a mean of 23.2 points with a standard deviation of 4.4 points. The 44 participants in the control group lowered their cholesterol levels by a mean of 21.5 points with a standard deviation of 2.9 points. Assume that the population variances are not equal and test the company's claim at the 0.01 level. Let the treatment group be Population 1 and let the control group be Population 2. Step 2 of 3: Compute the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to three decimal places.
I need help, I keep getting it wrong and only have one more try for each.
A custodian wishes to compare two competing floor waxes to decide which one is best. He believes that the mean of WaxWin is not equal to the mean of WaxCo.In a random sample of 49 floors of WaxWin and 35 of WaxCo. WaxWin had a mean lifetime of 25.3 and WaxCo had a mean lifetime of 27.3.The population standard deviation for WaxWin is assumed to be 7.8 and the population standard deviation for WaxCo is assumed to be 10.2.Perform a hypothesis test using a significance level of 0.05 to help him decide.Let WaxWin be sample 1 and WaxCo be sample 2.
A study was conducted to investigate the effect of a new drug on blood pressure. A sample of 25 patients was randomly selected and their blood pressure was measured both before and after taking the drug. The sample mean blood pressure before taking the drug was 120 mmHg and the sample mean blood pressure after taking the drug was 118 mmHg. The sample standard deviation for the blood pressure before taking the drug was 4 mmHg and the sample standard deviation for the blood pressure after taking the drug was 5 mmHg. Test the hypothesis that the average blood pressure after taking the drug is lower than the average blood pressure before taking the drug using a 0.01 level of significance.

Pyramid Lake is on the Paiute Indian Reservation in Nevada. The lake is famous for cutthroat trout. Suppose a friend tells you that the average length of trout caught in Pyramid Lake is μ=20 inches. However, a survey reported that of a simple random sample of 37 fish caught, the mean length was 17.5 inches, with an estimated standard deviation of 4.3 inches. Do these data indicate that the average length of a trout caught in Pyramid Lake is less than μ=20 inches? Use α=0.05. What is the value of the test statistic? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)Find the P-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)Based on your results, will you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis? Are the data statistically significant at level αα? A) At the α=0.05α=0.05 level, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are not statistically significant. B) At the α=0.05α=0.05 level, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are statistically significant. C)…
3. At a land farm, a farmer desired to test the effect of a given fertilizer on soybean production. He chose 24 plots of land of which are equal surface area. He treated 12 plots with the fertilizer and the others were untreated. Otherwise the conditions were the same. The treated plots produced soybean with mean yield 5.1 bushels and a standard deviation of 0.36 bushels, while the untreated plots had mean yield 4.8 bushels and a standard deviation of 0.40 bushels. (a) Can we conclude that there is a significant improvement in soybean production because of the fertilizer if a significance level of 1% is used? (b) What is the P-value of the test?
