The table below contains pulse rates after running for 1 minute, collected from a sample of females who drink alcohol. The mean pulse rate after running for 1 minute of females who do not drink is 97 beats per minute. Do the data show that the mean pulse rate of females who do drink alcohol is higher than the mean pulse rate of females who do not drink?

Researchers wanted to know if therapy could help smokers quit smoking. Of the 71 smokers they tested, 39 were smoking one year after treatment. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the majority are smoking one year after treatment. What is/are the critical value(s)? ттT Arial 3 (12pt) v TE -E · -
Total plasma volume is important in determining the required plasma component in blood replacement therapy for a person undergoing surgery. Plasma volume is influenced by the overall health and physical activity of an individual. Suppose that a random sample of 46 male firefighters are tested and that they have a plasma volume sample mean of x = 37.5 ml/kg (milliliters plasma per kilogram body weight). Assume that ? = 7.50 ml/kg for the distribution of blood plasma. d)Find the sample size necessary for a 99% confidence level with maximal margin of error E = 2.60 for the mean plasma volume in male firefighters. (Round up to the nearest whole number.) =__ male firefighters What price do farmers get for their watermelon crops? In the third week of July, a random sample of 45 farming regions gave a sample mean of x = $6.88 per 100 pounds of watermelon. Assume that ? is known to be $2.00 per 100 pounds. (a) Find a 90% confidence interval for the population mean price (per 100 pounds) that…
A 2019 study surveyed Norwegian parents about their children's eating habits and taste sensitivities. We are interested in seeing if there is a relationship between sensitivity to sweetness and emotional overeating. The study reports an F* = 2.34 with dfb 3 and dfw = 96. How many levels of 'sensitivity to sweetness' were used in the study? How many subjects participated in the entire study?
For the population, 57% of people are searched if stopped. For a sample of 26441 stops, what Z-test value is calculated given Black men are searched 61% of the time when stopped?
A special bumper was installed on selected vehicles in a large fleet. The dollar cost of body repairs was recorded for all vehicles that were involved in accidents over a 1-year period. Those with the special bumper are the test group and the other vehicles are the control group, shown below. Each "repair incident" is defined as an invoice (which might include more than one separate type of damage). Statistic Test Group Control Group Mean Damage x¯1x¯1 = $ 1,101 x¯2x¯2 = $ 1,766 Sample Standard Deviation s1 = $ 696 s2 = $ 838 Repair Incidents n1 = 12 n2 = 9 (a) Construct a 90 percent confidence interval for the true difference of the means assuming equal variances.

Assume that a high school principal believes that high number of absences hinders the students' ability to perform on standardized tests. He randomly selects a sample of 9 students who had 5 or more absences in the school year. The average ACT Composite score for this sample is X = 19 with s = 4.9. ACT Composite scores are normally distributed with u = 21.0. Do the data support the claim that the high number of absences hinders the students' ability to perform on standardized tests, using a = .05? Please show the four-step hypothesis test. %3D

Total plasma volume is important in determining the required plasma component in blood replacement therapy for a person undergoing surgery. Plasma volume is influenced by the overall health and physical activity of an individual. Suppose that a random sample of 48 male firefighters are tested and that they have a plasma volume sample mean of x = 37.5 ml/kg (milliliters plasma per kilogram body weight). Assume that σ = 8.00 ml/kg for the distribution of blood plasma. When finding an 99% confidence interval, what is the critical value for confidence level? (Give your answer to two decimal places.)
