A repeated-measures study with a sample of n=16 participants produces a mean difference of MD=4with a standard deviation of s=8. Use a two-tailed hypothesis test with a=.05 to determine whether it is likely that this sample came from a population with μD=0. b. Now assume that the sample mean difference is MD=10, and once again visualize the sample distribution. Use a two-tailed hypothesis test with α=.05 to determine whether it is likely that this sample came from a population with μD=0. c. Explain how the size of the sample mean difference influences the likelihood of finding a significant mean difference.
A repeated-measures study with a sample of n=9 participants produces a mean difference of Md = 3 with a standard deviation of s=6. Use a two-tailed hypothesis test with a=.05 to determine whether it is likely that this sample came from a population with ud= 0. Now assume that the sample mean difference is Md=12 and repeat the hypothesis test. Use a two-tailed hypothesis test with a=.05 to determine whether it is likely that this sample came from a population with u=0. Explain how the size of the sample mean difference influences the likelihood of finding a significant mean difference.
An inventor has developed a new, energy-efficient lawn mower engine. He claims that the engine will run continuously for 5 hours (300 minutes) on a single gallon of regular gasoline. From his stock of 2000 engines, the inventor selects a simple random sample of 40 engines for testing. The engines run for an average of 295 minutes, with a standard deviation of 20 minutes. Test the null hypothesis that the mean run time is µ = 305 minutes against the alternative hypothesis that the mean run time is not 305 minutes. Use p = .08. (Assume that run times for the population of engines are normally distributed.)

It has long been stated that the mean temperature of humans is 98.6°F. However, two researchers currently involved in the subject thought that the mean temperature of humans is less than 98.6°F. They measured the temperatures of 50 healthy adults 1 to 4 times daily for 3 days, obtaining 225 measurements. The sample data resulted in a sample mean of 98.4°F and a sample standard deviation of 1°F. Use the P-value approach to conduct a hypothesis test to judge whether the mean temperature of humans is less than 98.6°F at the oa = 0.01 level of significance. State the hypotheses. Ho: H = 98.6°F H1: H < 98.6°F Find the test statistic. tn = - 3.00 (Round to two decimal places as needed.) The P-value is (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
A sample mean of 22298, sample standard deviation of 14200, and sample size of 17, Ho μ=30000, H1: p+30000, a-0.05 are given. Use the one-mean t-test to perform the required hypothesis test about the mean, μ, of the population from which the sample was drawn. Use the P-value approach. Also, assess the strength of the evidence against the null hypothesis. a. Test statistic: t = -2.24. P-value = 0.035; Do not reject the null hypothesis. O b. Test statistic: t = -2.24. P-value = 0.35; Do not reject the null hypothesis. c. Test statistic: t = -2.24. P-value = 0.35; Reject the null hypothesis. O d. Test statistic: t = -2.24. P-value = 0.035; Reject the null hypothesis.
A random sample of size n=13 obtained from a population that is normally distributed results in a sample mean of 45.2 and sample standard deviation 12.6. An independent sample of size n=19 obtained from a population that is normally distributed results in a sample mean of 52.4 and sample standard deviation 14.2. Does this constitute sufficient evidence to conclude that the population means differ at the α=0.10 level of significance? Find the Test Statistic

A sample of 12 concrete specimens from supplier A were tested for their compressive strength. The results gave an average of 85 MPa and a standard deviation of 4 MPa. From supplier B, 10 specimens were similarly tested and gave an average compressive strength of 81 MPa and a standard deviation of 5 MPa. (a) Using procedures of Hypothesis Testing, can we conclude at the 0.05 level of significance that the compressive strength of concrete from A exceeds that from B by more than 2 MPa?

A random sample of 23 bags of apples (marked as 10 pounds each) received by a large grocery chain tested out as having a mean of 9.2 pounds with a variance of 2.56 pounds. Test whether the true mean of all bags is under 10 pounds. Set up hypotheses. Perform the appropriate test by showing your formula. Interpret the results using a Type I (alpha) error of .05. Also provide the p value here. Also construct a 95% confidence interval around your sample mean (X bar) that should contain the true mean (mu). Also interpret this interval.
