QI.[5 points]: A researcher wants to assess if there is a difference in the average age of onset of a certain disease for men and women who get the disease. Let µ = average age of onset for women and u2 = average age of onset for men. A random sample of 30 women with the disease showed an average age of onset of 83 years, with a sample standard deviation of 11.5 years. A random sample of 20 men with the disease showed an average age of onset of 77 years, with a sample standard deviation of 4.5 years. Assume that ages at onset of this disease are normally distributed for each gender, and assume the population variances are equal. i. What are the appropriate null and alternative hypothesis? ii. What is the value of the test statistics? iii. iv. Why you decided to use the test statistics in part ii ? For a significant level of 0.05, what is the critical value (or critical region)? What is the appropriate conclusion to this test? v.

A random sample of 76 eighth-grade students' scores on a national mathematics assessment test has a mean score of 273. This test result prompts a state school administrator to declare that the mean score for the state's eighth graders on this exam is more than 270. Assume that the population standard deviation is 33. At α=0.02, is there enough evidence to support the administrator's claim? Complete parts (a) through (e). Part 1 (a) Write the claim mathematically and identify H0 and Ha.

Q2: Serum amylase determinations were made on a sample of 15 apparently healthy subjects in the Electricity Power Plant of Nasriya January 2010. The sample yielded a mean of 96 and a standard deviation of 35 units/100ml. Estimate the true mean of serum amylase in the healthy population of Nasriya.
Scores on a statistics final in a large class were normally distributed with a mean of 75 and a standard deviation of 8. The instructor wants to give an A to the students whose scores were in the top 08% of the class (Provide your answer with two decimal places). Find the Z-score that is associated with the lowest possible score to get an A. What is the minimum score needed to get an A?
Speeds of cars in an expressway are monitored by high-speed camera units. The minimum speed of cars in the expressway is 60 kph and the maximum speed is 100 kph. Cars going below the minimum, or going above the maximum, are apprehended. Suppose that speed of the cars on the expressway are normally distributed with a mean of 75kph and a standard deviation of 10 kph. What percentage of the cars travelling on the expressway will not be apprehended? Note: Write your answer as percentage with two decimal places (i.e. 87.26%).
Citrus Rental is a popular car rental agency that has a history of having too few cars available, so that its available cars are overdriven. The mean monthly mileage over the years for Citrus cars has been about 1550 miles per month. Recently, though, Citrus purchased thousands of new cars, and the company claims that the average mileage of its cars is now less than in the past. To test this, a random sample of 15 recent mileages of Citrus cars was taken. The mean of these 15 mileages was 1517 miles per month, and the standard deviation was 201 miles per month. Assume that the population of recent monthly mileages of Citrus cars is normally distributed. At the 0.05 level of significance, can it be concluded that the mean recent monthly mileage, μ, of Citrus cars is less than 1550 miles per month? Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below.
You have obtained the number of years of education from one random sample of 38 police officers from City A and the number of years of education from a second random sample of 30 police officers from City B. The average years of education for the sample from City A is 15 years with a standard deviation of 2 years. The average years of education for the sample from City B is 14 years with a standard deviation of 2.5 years. Is there a statistically significant difference between the education levels of police officers in City A and City B?What is the appropriate test for this case? 2 sample z-testChi-square test 2-sample t-test2 sample paired t-test Carry out the test. The test statistic = (round answer to two decimal places.)and the p-value is (round answer to 2 decimal places)There sufficient evidence at the 5% level to conclude that the education levels of police officers in City A and City B is significantly different.
The mean score on a driving exam for a group of driver’s education students is 76 points, with a standard deviation of 6 points. Apply chebychev’s theorem to the data using K=2. Interpret, At least ___% of the exam score falls between ___and ____
Callahan (2009) demonstrated that tai chi can significantly reduce symptoms for individuals with arthritis. Participants were 18 years old or older with doctor-diagnosed arthritis. Self-reports of pain and stiffness were measured at the beginning of an eight-week tai chi course and again at the end. Suppose that the data produced an average of MD = 8.5 decrease in pain and stiffness of with a standard deviation of 21.5 for a sample of n = 40 participants. Use a two-tailed test with α = .05 to determine whether the tai chi had a significant effect on pain and stiffness.
Bone mineral density (BMD) is a measure of bone strength. Studies show that BMD declines after age 45. The impact of exercise may increase BMD. A random sample of 59 women between the ages of 41 and 45 with no major health problems were studied. The women were classified into one of two groups based upon their level of exercise activity: walking women and sedentary women. The 39 women who walked regularly had a mean BMD of 5.96 with a standard deviation of 1.22. The 20 women who are sedentary had a mean BMD of 4.41 with a standard deviation of 1.02. Which of the following inference procedures could be used to estimate the difference in the mean BMD for these two types of women

Let x be a random variable that represents the pH of arterial plasma (l.e., acidity of the blood). For healthy adults, the mean of the x distribution is = 7.4.t A new drug for arthritis has been developed. However, it is thought that this drug may change blood pH. A random sample of 31 patients with arthritis took the drug for 3 months. Blood tests showed that x = 8.8 with sample standard deviations = 3.3. Use a 5% level of significance to test the claim that the drug has changed (either way) the mean pH level of the blood. A USE SALT (a) What is the level of significance?
