Research has shown that, for baseball players, good hip range of motion results in improved performance and decreased body stress. A research article reported on a study of independent samples of 40 professional pitchers and 40 professional position players. For the pitchers, the sample mean hip range of motion was 75.5 degrees and the sample standard deviation was 5.8 degrees, whereas the sample mean and sample standard deviation for position players were 79.1 degrees and 7.1 degrees, respectively. Assuming that the two samples are representative of professional baseball pitchers and position players, test hypotheses appropriate for determining if there is convincing evidence that the mean range of motion for pitchers is less than the mean for position players. (Use ? = 0.05. Use ?1 for pitchers and ?2 for position players.) State the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses. Find the test statistic and P-value. (Use SALT. Round your test statistic to one decimal place and…
A clinical trial for a psychological therapy for trauma takes 37 women and gives them one treatment for trauma and then, a year later, gives them a different treatment. The measure used to indicate success is a Likert scale where 5 means 'l found the treatment very helpful' and 1 means 'l didn't find it helpful at all. The lead researcher gathers the data and she finds a very high variance of scores across the women in each treatment, and considers giving up the analysis. She plans to do a difference in means analysis with unequal variances (she tested and found the variances were unequal). She asks for your advice: a. She is being too hasty because she is using the wrong technique. This is a paired sample and when she takes the difference in the Likert scale for each subject across the two treatments the variance of the remaining lifferences might be so low that she can detect which treatment is statistically better b. She cannot give different treatments to the same people - it…
Your company sources motors from two suppliers: supplier A and supplier B. Your application requiresvery high maximum torque. You wish to know if there is a significant difference in maximum torque forthe motors from supplier A vs. supplier B. You sample 10 motors from each supplier and measure themaximum torque. The sample means and sample standard deviations are shown the following table. Is there evidence to conclude that one supplier is better than the other at a 95% confidence level?
This research was conducted with Korean adolescents in the Los Angeles area. Would you be willing to generalize the results of this study to Korean adolescents who live in other regions of the country? Why or why not.
A clinical trial is planned to compare an experimental medication designed to lower blood pressure to a placebo. Before starting the trial, a pilot study is conducted involving eight participants. The objective of the study is to assess how systolic blood pressure changes over time untreated. Systolic blood pressures are measured at baseline and again 4 weeks later Is there a statistically significant difference in blood pressures over time? Run the test at a 5% level of significance. Give each of the following to receive full credit: 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. You MUST show all your work to receive full credit. Partial credit is available. Baseline 4 weeks 135 136 150 142 143 135 160 158 152 155 143 140 133 128 146 129
When you get a surprisingly low price on a product do you assume that you got a really good deal or that you bought a low-quality product? Research indicates that you are more likely to associate low price and low quality if someone else makes the purchase rather than yourself. In a similar study, 16 participants were asked to rate the quality of low-priced items under two scenarios: purchased by a friend or purchased yourself. The results produced a mean difference of 2.6 and a SS = 135, with self-purchases rated higher. Is there evidence that the judged quality of objects significantly increase for self-purchases than for purchases made by others? Please use a one-tailed test with level of significance of 5%.
An engineer designed a valve that will regulate water pressure on an automobile engine. The engineer designed the valve such that it would produce a mean pressure of 5.5 pounds/square inch. It is believed that the valve performs above the specifications. The valve was tested on 24 engines and the mean pressure was 5.7 pounds/square inch with a variance of 0.49. A level of significance of 0.01 will be used. Assume the population distribution is approximately normal. Make the decision to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis.
A pharmaceutical company needs to know if its new cholesterol drug, Praxor, is effective at lowering cholesterol levels. It believes that people who take Praxor will average a greater decrease in cholesterol level than people taking a placebo. After the experiment is complete, the researchers find that the 4848 participants in the treatment group lowered their cholesterol levels by a mean of 21.521.5 points with a standard deviation of 2.52.5 points. The 4040 participants in the control group lowered their cholesterol levels by a mean of 20.920.9 points with a standard deviation of 4.14.1 points. Assume that the population variances are not equal and test the company’s claim at the 0.100.10 level. Let the treatment group be Population 1 and let the control group be Population 2. Step 2 of 3 : Compute the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to three decimal places. step 3 of 3 : Conclusion- fail to reject/reject...insufficient/sufficient
A newly hired basketball coach promised a high- paced attack that will put more points on the board than the team's previously tepid offense historically managed. After a few months, the team owner looks at the data to test the coach's claim. He takes a sample of 36 of the team's games under the new coach and finds that they scored an average of 101 points with a standard deviation of 6 points. Over the past 10 years, the team had averaged 99 points. What is(are) the appropriate critical value(s) to test the new coach's claim at the 1% significance level? -2.438 -2.438 and 2.438 2.326 2.438
The design of controls and instruments affects how easily people can use them. A student project investigated this effect by asking 25 right handed students to turn a knob with their right hands that moved an indicator by screw action. There were two identical instruments, one with a right-hand thread and the other with a left-hand thread. The table given has the data from the student project.1. Calculate and interpret a 90% confidence interval for the mean time advantage of right hand over left hand threads in the setting above.
Do shoppers at the mall spend more money on average the day after Thanksgiving compared to the day after Christmas? The 52 randomly surveyed shoppers on the day after Thanksgiving spent an average of $122. Their standard deviation was $29. The 59 randomly surveyed shoppers on the day after Christmas spent an average of $117. Their standard deviation was $35. What can be concluded at the αα = 0.05 level of significance? For this study, we should use The null and alternative hypotheses would be: H0:H0: H1:H1: The test statistic = (please show your answer to 3 decimal places.) The p-value = (Please show your answer to 4 decimal places.) The p-value is αα Based on this, we should the null hypothesis.
A coin-operated coffee machine made by BIG Corporation was designed to discharge a mean of 7.1 ounces of coffee per cup. If it dispenses more than that on average, the corporation may lose money, and if it dispenses less, the customers may complain. Believing that the mean amount of coffee dispensed by the machine, µ, is less than 7.1 ounces, BIG plans to do a statistical test of the claim that the machine is working as designed. Technicians gather a random sample of fill amounts and find that the mean of the sample is 6.7 ounces and that the standard deviation is 0.4 ounces. Based on this information, answer the questions below.
