Student one claims that his grades this semester are higher than student two. They decide to test the claim. Student one has 7 classes with an average grade of 89.92 and a standard deviation of 4.6. Student two has 6 classes with an average of 85.15 and a standard deviation of 6.8. The variances are NOT the same because there is a different standard deviation. What can we conclude about this if � = .10? Write the null and alternative hypothesis: What is the original claim in this problem? What is the standardized test statistic that rounds to the nearest 3 decimal places? What is the p-value? What is your decision?

In a large group of young couples, the stan- dard deviation of the husbands' ages is four years, and that of the wives' ages is three years. Let D denote the age difference within a couple. Under what circumstances might you expect to find that the standard deviation of age differences in the group is about 5 years? Instead you find it to be 2 years. One possibility is that the discrepancy is the result of random variability. Give another explanation.
An experiment was performed to see if the color of paper an exam is printed on could affect scores on the exam. Doyle took a standardized exam on blue paper, usually it is taken on white, and scored 85. The national average on this exam is 70 with stardard deviation of 5. Use the z-scote method to determine if we can reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis based on the Doyle's data and national average.show work & justify your answer.
Two species of fish have similar phenotypes to each other, researchers wonder if they can classify these fish species based on their sizes. One species has mean size of 10cm, with standard deviation of 1. The other species has mean size of 12cm, with standard deviation of 2. Size of 15 fish from each species were measured. a. Which hypothesis testing method can be used to compare the mean size of the two populations? Perform the test for a = 0.01. How does result of this test help the researchers to decide if they can classify these fish species based on their sizes? b. What is the power of the test? How does power of the test help the researchers to decide if they can classify these fish species based on their sizes?

1486 freshman took an algebra 1 final exam with a variance of 165.0989 , standard deviation of 12.8491 and mean of 78.0067 . 984 sophomores took the final exam in algebra 1 , with a variance of 176.5610, standard deviation of 13.2876 and a mean of 77.3628 The null hypothesis is there is no significant difference in the final exam averages across different academic years . The alternative hypothesis is there is a significant difference in the final exam averages acosss different academic years . Do we reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis ? Explain
A study has been made to compare the nicotine contents of two brands of cigarettes. Ten cigarettes of Brand A had an average nicotine content of 4.3 milligrams with a standard deviation of 0.6 milligram. Eight cigarettes of Brand B had an average nicotine content of 3 milligrams with a standard deviation of 0.4 milligram. Assume that the two sets of data are independent random samples from normal populations with equal variances. Answer the following, and round off your answer to three decimal places. (a) Find a pooled estimate of the population standard deviation. (b) Construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference between the mean nicotine contents of the two brands of cigarettes. (☐☐)

The College Board reports that the scores on the math SAT were normally distributed with a mean of 525. A random sample of 15 students at your high school had a mean of 550 and a sample standard deviation of 105. What values of the sample mean would lead to rejection of the null hypothesis at the 0.01 level of significance?
A firm produces calculators. It manager claims that its calculators are good, on average, for at least 58 months. A consumer protection agency tested 16 such calculators to check this claim. He found the mean life of these calculators to be 55 months with a variance of 9 months. Can you conclude that the claim of this company is true? Use a = 0.05. Assume that the life of such a calculator has an approximately normal distribution. According to this information the null and alternative hypotheses are: H0: μ ≤ 58 H1: μ > 58 Select one: True False
For college-bound seniors in 2018, SAT math scores are normally distributed with a mean of 515 and a standard deviation of 116. You suspect that seniors in the Auraria Campus are much brighter than the country as a whole, so you decide to conduct a test. In a random sample of 25 seniors, you find the mean SAT math score to be 555. You assume that the standard deviation of math scores in Auraria Campus are the same as the national standard deviation of a = 116. Is this sufficient evidence to conclude that Auraria Campus seniors are smarter? Take a -0.05.
