Researchers were interested in how characteristics of the spleen of residents of Nigeria compared to those found elsewhere in the Wond. They fandony sampled 91 males and 109 females from Nigeria. The mean and standard deviation of spleen lengths for the males were 11.1 cm and 0.9 cm, respectively, and 10.1 cm and 0.7 cm, respectively for females. At the 1% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that a difference exists in mean spleen lengths of male and female Nigerians? Sp (3 decimal places) tstatistic (2 decimal places) Conclusion?.

The amount of time it takes students to travel to school can vary greatly depending on how far a student lives from the school and what mode of transportation they take to school. A student claims that the average travel time to school for his large district is 20 minutes. To further investigate this claim, he selects a random sample of 50 students from the school and finds that their mean travel time is 22.4 minutes with a standard deviation of 5.9 minutes. He would like to conduct a significance test to determine if there is convincing evidence that the true mean travel time for all students who attend this school is greater than 20 minutes. What are the appropriate hypotheses? A) H0: μ = 20 versus Ha: μ < 20, where μ = the true mean travel time for all students who attend this school B) H0: μ = 20 versus Ha: μ > 20, where μ = the true mean travel time for all students who attend this school C) H0: μ = 20 versus Ha: μ < 20, where μ = the mean travel time for the 50…
The finish times for women in the 25-29 age group of the Hermosa Beach Triathlon in California are normally distributed with a mean of 5261 seconds and a standard deviation of 807 seconds. The finish times for men in the 30-34 age group of the same triathlon are normally distributed with a mean of 4313 seconds and a standard deviation of 583 seconds. a) Use the Empirical Rule to determine between what two values we expect the middle 95% of the women's 25-29 age group finish times to fall. • smaller time: (do not round your answer) • larger time: (do not round your answer) b) The slowest 10% of women's 25-29 fınish times are greater than what time? • z= (round to 2 decimal places) • finish time = (round to 2 decimal places) c) Adeline (female, age 24) finished the Hermosa Triathlon in 6448 seconds. Nael (male, age 31) fınished in 4854 seconds. Obviously, Nael ran faster than Adeline, but they are curious about how they did within their respective age groups. • What is Adeline's…
Given that the researcher wants to be sure the mean difference in the change in hemoglobin levels has a margin of error no more than 0.2 g/dL and the difference in the stand deviation between the mean hemoglobin levels for the two forms of iron supplements used to treat anemia is 1.2 g/dL, what is the desired number of recruits for the study, assuming the individuals will participate in a crossover trial, if the study’s attrition rate is expected to be .25? Group of answer choices n = 139 n = 554 n = 185 n = 55,320
Researchers from a certain country were interested in how characteristics of the spleen of residents in their tropical environment compare to those found elsewhere in the world. The researchers randomly sampled 93 males and 107 females in their country. The mean and standard deviation of the spleen lengths for the males were 10.8 cm and 0.9 cm, respectively, and those for the females were 10.2 cm and 0.7 cm, respectively. At the 5% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that a difference exists in the mean spleen lengths of males and females in the country?

Researchers studied the craniofacial morphology of male patients with and without obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). Length (mm) from the hyoid bone to the Frankfort horizontal was measured in both groups. Do these data provide sufficient evidence that the mean length from the hyoid bone to the Frankfort horizontal differs for the two groups? Use a 5% level of significance. Assume equal variances. 1) the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses; 2) the appropriate test; 3) the decision rule; 4) the calculation of the test statistic; and 5) your conclusion including a comparison to alpha or the critical value.

For a random sample of 47 high school seniors in the United States in 2019, the average of typical sleep time on a school night is 6.8 hours with a standard deviation of 1.2 hours.

1) A study compared the weight loss of people on a low-fat diet versus people on a low-carb diet. In a sample of 100 obese people on a low-fat diet the sample mean weight loss as 7.6 pounds with a standard deviation of 3.2 pounds. In another sample of 120 obese people on a low-carb diet the sample mean weight loss was 6.7 pounds with a standard deviation of 3.9 pounds. a) Test the hypothesis, at the 5% level of significance, that there is a difference in the mean weight loss of using the 2 different diets. b) What is the p-value?
People who diet can expect to lose an average of 2 kg in a month. In a book, the authors claim that people who follow a new diet will lose an average of more than 2 kg in a month. The weight losses of the 18 people in a random sample who had followed the new diet for a month were noted. The sample mean was 2.1 kg and the standard deviation was 0.5 kg. Test the authors’ claim at the 5% significance level
The National Center for Health Statistics reports that the systolic blood pressure for males 35 to 44 years of age has mean 28mm Hg and standard deviation 15 mm Hg. The medical director of a large company looks at the medical records of 72 executives in this age group and finds that the mean systolic blood pressure in this sample is x = 126.07 mm Hg. At a 5% significance level, the data fail to show significant evidence that the mean blood pressure of a population of executives differs from the national mean = 128 mm Hg. The medical director now wonders if the test used would detect an important difference if one were present. Use the applet to calculate the power of the test against the alternative μ = 122 mm Hg. Provide your answer to three decimal places. Power =
Fuel efficiency of Prius: Fueleconomy.gov, the official US government source for fuel economy information, allows users to share gas mileage information on their vehicles. The histogram below shows the distribution of gas mileage in miles per gallon (MPG) from 14 users who drive a 2012 Toyota Prius. The sample mean is 53.3 MPG and the standard deviation is 5.2 MPG. Note that these data are user estimates and since the source data cannot be verified, the accuracy of these estimates are not guaranteed. (a) The EPA claims that a 2012 Prius gets 50 MPG (city and highway mileage combined). Do these data provide strong evidence against this estimate for drivers who participate on fueleconomy.gov? The test statistic is: __________________(please round to two decimal places)The p-value:___________________________ for this hypothesis test is: (please round to four decimal places)(c) Please comment on the primary thing that is wrong about the following statement: There is sufficient evidence…
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
