shiela is a big fan of foxes and has studied the weight of young foxes of a certain type at birth. She is interested in examining whether there is a difference in the weight (weight in weight) of urchins by sex at birth. She therefore conducts the following study. She randomly selected 15 female and 15 male urchins and weighed them. The average weight of the male urchins was 1.23 kgand the variance 0.3, but the average weight of the female urchins was 1.13 kg and the variance 0.4. Let's call the male urchins group 1. It can be assumed that the weight of urchins at birth follows a normal distribution. 1.What is the alternative hypothesis in shielas hypothesis test? а. Н1:ц1-и2#0 b. H1:u1-u2<0 c. H1:u1-µ2>0 d.

An electronic company's records show that the mean number of circuit.boards rejected per batch is 5.7 with a variance of 1.4. Due to a change in the molding process, factory management has hired you to perform a hypothesis test to check if the variance, o, has increased. To do so, you test a random sample of 10 batches produced using the new process; the number of circuit boards rejected per batch has a sample variance of 2.5. Under the assumption that the number of circuit boards rejected per batch using the new process follows a normal distribution, you will perform a chi-square test. Find x, the value of the test statistic for your chi-square test. Round your answer to three or more decimal places. * = 0
Two separate samples, each with n = 14 individuals, receive different treatments. After treatment, the first sample has SS = 1316 and the second has SS = 1620. Find the pooled Variance for two independent samples. (hundredths place) Type only the pooled variance.
Researchers investigate how the presence of cell phones influence the quality of human interaction. Subjects are randomly selected from a population and divided into an experimental group that is asked to leave their phones in the front of the room and a control group that are not asked to leave their cell phones at the front of the room. Subjects are left alone for 10 minutes and then asked to take a survey designed to measure quality of interactions they had with others in the experiment. What statistical test is appropriate?
The nation of Olecarl, located in the South Pacific, has asked you to analyze international trade patterns. You first discover that each year it exports 10 units and im- ports 10 units of wonderful stuff. The price of exports is a random variable with a mean of 100 and a vari- ance of 100. The price of imports is a random variable with a mean of 90 and a variance of 400. In addition, you discover that the prices of imports and exports have a correlation of r = -0.40. The prices of both ex- ports and imports follow a normal probability density function. Define the balance of trade as the difference between the total revenue from exports and the total cost of imports. What are the mean and variance of the balance of trade? What is the probability that the balance oft trade is negative?
A snow shovel manufacturer is considering a new shovel with small holes punched in it, thought to reduce energy expenditure of the user. The data in the Problem 4 tab provides information for 13 workers using both the conventional shovel and the perforated shovel. Does the data suggest that the energy expenditure of the perforated shovel is lower than that of the conventional shovel? Does the data suggest that the variance of the two shovels is different?
A factor in determining the usefulness of an examination as a measure of demonstrated ability is the amount of spread that occurs in the grades. If the spread or variation of examination scores is very small, it usually means that the examination was either too hard or too easy. However, if the variance of scores is moderately large, then there is a definite difference in scores between "better," "average," and "poorer" students. A group of attorneys in a Midwest state has been given the task of making up this year's bar examination for the state. The examination has 500 total possible points, and from the history of past examinations, it is known that a standard deviation of around 60 points is desirable. Of course, too large or too small a standard deviation is not good. The attorneys want to test their examination to see how good it is. A preliminary version of the examination (with slight modifications to protect the integrity of the real examination) is given to a random sample of…
"A large candy manufacturer produces, packages and sells packs of candy targeted to weigh 52 grams. A quality control manager working for the company was concerned that the variation in the actual weights of the targeted 52-gram packs was larger than acceptable. That is, he was concerned that some packs weighed significantly less than 52-grams and some weighed significantly more than 52 grams. In an attempt to estimate the variance of the weights of all of the 52-gram packs the manufacturer makes, he took a random sample of n = 20 packs off of the factory line. The random sample yielded a sample variance of 3.5 grams. Use 90% confidence level. What is the confidence interval for the variance of the weight of the candy?"
A science project involves testing the effects of different types of music on plant growth. A sample of 24 newly sprouted bean plants is obtained. The plants are randomly assigned to each experimental condition (6 per group). The experimental conditions are: rock music, heavy metal, country, and classical. The dependent variable is the height of each plant after 2 weeks. The ANOVA results are summarized as follows: MSB = 10 and SSW =40. Construct a summary table for this study

Suppose you analyzed the average monthly credit card bill of Visa credit card customers using two randomly selected samples: one with 144 Visa credit card customers (Sample #1) and one with 100 Visa credit card customers (Sample #2). Every credit card customer in Sample #1 had a monthly credit card bill of $1,812. Sample #2, on the other hand, had an average monthly credit card bill of $1,868 with a variance of 1,302,388 (SM2. If you combined these samples into one... Question 2 What would be the combined monthly credit card bill average (in dollars)? Question 3A What is the combined monthly credit card bill median (in dollars)? Question 3BWha is the shape of the combined monthly credit card bill distribution (in dollars)? Question 4 What would be the combined monthly credit card bill standard deviation (in dollars)?

A transect is an archaeological study area that is mile wide and 1 mile long. A site in a transect is the location of a significant archaeological find. Let x represent the number of sites per transect. In a section of Chaco Canyon, a large number of transects showed that x has a population variance . In a different section of Chaco Canyon, a random sample of 23 transects gave a sample variance for the number of sites per transect. Use an to test the claim that the variance in the new section is greater than 36.4. What is the level of significance? 90% 1% 5% 95% 10%
