Public health regulators try to maintain a level of fluoride in the public drinking water of 0.8 mg/L. In order to monitor this, they take samples from 9 randomly selected households drinking water each day to test the null hypothesis Ho : µ = 0. 8 vs Ha : µ # 0. 8. On this particular day, their measurements were: 0.81, 0.82,0.88, 0.82,0.81,0.90,0.81,0.80, and 0.82 Using this data, what is the p-value of this test? 0.0331 0.9835 0.0351 0.0165

Given a random sample of size n from a uniform population with a = 0, find an estimator for ß by the method of moments.
The average age for licensed drivers in a county is µ = 41.6, σ = 12, and the distribution is approximately normal. A county police officer was interested in whether the average age of drivers receiving speeding tickets differed from the average age of the driving population. She obtained a sample of N = 16 drivers with speeding tickets. The average age for this sample was M = 34.4 and alpha = 0.05. calculate statistical power for this study.
A study of road rage asked random samples of 596 men and 523 women about their behavior while driving. Based on their answers, each person was assigned a road rage score on a scale of 0 to 20. The participants were chosen by random digit dialing of phone numbers. The researchers performed a test of the following hypotheses: Ho: μM=μF versus Ha: μM≠μF.Ho: μM=μF versus Ha: μM=μF. The P-value for the stated hypotheses is 0.002. Interpret this value in the context of this study. A) Assuming that the true mean road rage score is the same for males and females, there is a 0.002 probability of getting a difference in sample means. B) Assuming that the true mean road rage score is the same for males and females, there is a 0.002 probability of getting an observed difference at least as extreme as the observed difference. C) Assuming that the true mean road rage score is different for males and females, there is a 0.002 probability of getting an observed difference at least as…
The paragraph below is the study questions 16-21 d The Board of Transportation and Safety (BTS) wants to examine the safety mechanisms of A, B, and C-class cars. Samples of 7 cars for each of the classes were used. The board members collect the pressure exerted overall on the driver's body during a crash impact test. The BTS wants to see if there if a difference among the 3 classes of cars. Assume alpha of 0.05. What type of statistical test would be appropriate? O Pearson correlation O Multiple linear regression O one-way independent ANOVA O two-way independent ANOVA O simple linear regression QUESTION 17 Which of the following is the correct alternative hypothesis? O at least 2 of the means are different O all of the pairs of means are different O u1 = p2 = p3
Suppose that we are testing H0: μ = μ0 versus H1: μ ≠ μ0. Calculate the P-value for the following observed values of the test statistic: (a) Z0 = 1.95 (b) Z0 = -0.10
A researcher has developed a new drug designed to reduce blood pressure. In an experiment, 22 subjects were assigned randomly to the treatment group and received the new experimental drug. The other 24 subjects were assigned to the control group and received a standard, well-known treatment. After a suitable period, the reduction in blood pressure for each subject was recorded. A summary of these data is: nn x¯x¯ ss Treatment group (new drug) 22 23.48 8.01 Control group (old drug) 24 18.52 7.15 Without using software, how would you estimate the number of degrees of freedom for this problem? Select one: use the larger value, 23, chosen from the two options 21 and 23 use the smaller value, 22, chosen from the two options 22 and 24 use the larger value, 24, chosen from the two options 22 and 24 use the smaller value, 21, chosen from the two options 21 and 23
On March 2005, a poll surveyed 535 adults aged 18 years old or older and asked “ Do you think there is life on other planets or not?. Of the 535, 326 responded yes. same question was asked on September3,2000, 385 of the 535 individuals surveyed said yes. Can you conclude that the proportion has decreased at alpha = 0.05 level of significance.
Much concern has been expressed regarding the practice of using nitrates as meat preservatives. In one study involving possible effects of these chemicals, bacteria cultures were grown in a medium containing nitrates. The rate of uptake of radio-labeled amino acid (in dpm, disintegrations per minute) was then determined for each culture, yielding the following observations. 7,256 6,876 9,634 6,867 9,091 5,848 7,061 7,491 7,882 8,173 7,521 8,721 8,959 7,973 X 7,463 Suppose that it is known that the mean rate of uptake for cultures without nitrates is 8,000. Do the data suggest that the addition of nitrates results in a decrease in the mean rate of uptake? Test the appropriate hypotheses using a significance level of 0.10.

An engineer wants to know if producing metal bars using a new experimental treatment rather than the conventional treatment makes a difference in the tensile strength of the bars (the ability to resist tearing when pulled lengthwise). At α=0.10, answer parts (a) through (e). Assume the population variances are equal and the samples are random. If convenient, use technology to solve the problem.
