Suppose that Y is a normally distributed random variable. Assuming that the data is randomly sampled, use the following information to determine the sample variance. Show your work. Use three decimal places. • The sample size is 1225 • The upper limit of a 90 percent confidence interval for E [Y ] is 1.194 • The lower limit of a 90 percent confidence interval for E [Y ] is 1.006.
Heart rates are determined before and 30 minutes after a Kettleball workout. It can be assumed that heart rates (bpm) are normally distributed. Use the data provided below to test to determine if average heart rates prior to the workout are significantly lower than 30 minutes after a Kettleball workout at the 0.02 level of significance. Let μ₁ = mean before workout. Select the correct Hypotheses: Ho:με 2 με Η: μι = με Η: μη μ₂ O O O Conclusion: before 69 69 65 62 63 61 after 73 75 72 70 68 59 O Fail to Reject Ho ● Reject Ho Test Statistic = p-value = Ho:μd = 0 H₁: Hd ‡0 O [three decimal accuracy] [three decimal accuracy] Ho:μα 20 Ha:Pa 0 O Interpret the conclusion in context: ● There is enough evidence to suggest the mean bpm before a Kettleball workout is lower than 30 minutes after the workout. O There is not enough evidence to suggest the mean bpm before a Kettleball workout is lower than 30 minutes after the workout.
In order to construct a confidence interval for the population variance, a random sample of n observations is drawn from a normal population. Use this information to find x²a/2, df and x²1-a/2, df under the following scenarios. (Round your answers to 3 decimal places. You may find it useful to reference the appropriate table: chi-square table or Ftable) X²al2,df a. A 95% confidence level with n = 9. b. A 95% confidence level with n = 40. c. A 99% confidence level with n = 9. d. A 99% confidence level with n = 40. X²1-a/2,df
Test the claim below about the mean of the differences for a population of paired data at the level of significance x. Assume the samples are random and dependent, and the populations are normally distributed. Claim: μ ≥0; x = 0.10.

The Wilcoxon signed-rank test can be used to perform a hypothesis test for a population median, η, as well as for a population mean, µ. Why is that so?
Scores on an IQ test are normally distributed. A sample of 25 IQ scores had variance of 64. The developer of the test claims that the population standard deviation is 15. Do these data provide sufficient evidence to significance? Use α=0.05α=0.05 . Answer the following questions. (a) What is the parameter? . (input as "mean", "standard deviation", "variance" or "proportion") (b) Determine if the alternative hypothesis is "right", "left" or "two-tailed" test. (input as "right", "left" or "two-tailed") (c) Test by using a confidence interval. Round confidence interval to nearest thousandth. (e.g. 0.1345 would be entered as 0.135) between ( and ) (d) State conclusion.: There is (input as "sufficient" or "insufficient") to (input as "conclude" or "reject") to conclude that the population standard deviation of IQ test is 15.

Bags of a certain brand of tortilla chips claim to have a net weight of 14 ounces. Net weights actually vary slightly from bag to bag. Assume net weights are Normally distributed. A representative of a consumer advocate group wishes to see if there is any evidence that the mean net weight is less than advertised and so intends to test the hypotheses Ho: µ= 14 versus Ha: µ<14. To do this, he selects 16 bags of tortilla chips of this brand at random and determines the net weight of each. He finds a sample mean of 13.88 ounces with a standard deviation of s test statistic? 0.24 ounces. What is the value of the A) t=-0.50 В) t%3D-2.00 C) t=-8.00 D) t=-8.33
E. Non-parametric statistics does not use the values of μμ or σσ . True False F. When data points are widely spaced around the regression line, the coefficient of correlation is close to 1. True False G. If the value of the y intercept of the regression line is positive, then the coefficient of correlation could be negative. True False H. ANOVA can tell which mean is different. True False I. If a confidence interval for the difference of 2 proportions is found and the interval contains 0, it suggests the proportions are the same. True False
