Suppose IQ scores were obtained for 20 randomly selected sets of twins. The 20 pairs of measurements yield x = 100.29, y = 101.75, r = 0.830, P-value = 0.000, and y = 6.74 + 0.95x, where x represents the IQ score of the twin born second. Find the best predicted value of y given that the twin born second has an IQ of 103? Use a significance level of 0.05. Click the icon to view the critical values of the Pearson correlation coefficient r. The best predicted value of y is (Round to two decimal places as needed.)

A wildlife biologist is interested in comparing the mean number of miles flown per day by two types of birds when migrating over the ocean. Two independent samples of miles flown per day are collected with the following sample statistics. x1 =131.8, X2 =129.5, s1 =10.3, s2 =11.5 The sample size for the first sample is n₁ =31 and the second sample has sample size n₂ =36. Compute the test statistic for the following null and alternative hypotheses. Use two decimal place accuracy. Ho : μ1 = μ2 HA : μι < μ2
The mean number of sick days an employee takes per year is believed to be about 10. Members of a personnel department do not believe this figure. They randomly survey &8 employees. The number of sick days they took for the past year are as follows: 12; 6; 15; 3; 10; 8; 8; 8. Let X= the number of sick days they took for the past year. Should the personnel team believe that the mean number is about 10? Conduct a hypothesis test at the 5% level. What is the test statistic? (If using the z distribution round your answers to two decimal places, and if using the t distribution round your answers to three decimal places.) What is the p-value?

The level of dissolved oxygen in a river is an important indicator of the water’s ability to support aquatic life. A research project is started to determine if the oxygen levels in the river have changed. It is known from a study done 10 years prior, that the mean oxygen levels in milligrams per liter for the river was 4.3. a- Write appropriate hypotheses for this test b- You collect water samples at 15 randomly chosen locations along the river and measure the dissolved oxygen. Here are your results in milligrams per liter: 4.53 5.5 4.01 5.04 4.83 4.66 3.29 4.4 2.87 5.23 5.42 5.73 4.13 6.38 5.55 Construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the mean dissolved oxygen level for this stream. c- Using the sample from part b, conduct a significance test of these results using a 5% significance level. Give complete results of the test including a p-value and an interpretation of the test results that someone not in this class could understand

A cruise ship charges passengers $3 for a can of soda. Because of passenger complaints, the ship manager has decided to try out a plan with a lower price. He thinks that with a lower price, more cans will be sold, which would mean that the ship would still make a reasonable total profit. With the old pricing, the mean number of cans sold per passenger for a 10-day trip was 10.3 cans. Suppose μ represents the mean number of cans per passenger for the new pricing. What hypotheses should the ship manager test if he wants to determine if the mean number of cans sold is greater for the new pricing plan? O Ho: μ = 10.3 versus H₂: μ> 10.3 O Ho: μ = O Ho: μ = 10 versus Ha: μ 10.3
Nabisco claims that Chip Ahoy Cookies have an x ̅=28.67 chocolate chips per cookie with a SD=2.67. You randomly select 36 cookies from a new bag and carefully remove all the chocolate chips from each of the 36 cookies. You find the mean of the chocolate chips for the 36 cookies is 24.27 chocolate chips per cookie. Calculate the standard error for the chocolate chips in your experiment. (round to the nearest hundredth).
The mean number of sick days an employee takes per year is believed to be about 10.5. Members of a personnel department do not believe this figure. They randomly survey ten employees. The number of sick days they took for the past year are as follows: 12; 4; 15; 3; 11; 8; 6; 8; 2; 9. Let x = the number of sick days they took for the past year. Should the personnel team believe that the mean number is ten?
Justin wants to know whether a commonly prescribed drug does improve the attention span of students with attention deficit disorder (ADD). He knows that the mean attention span for students with ADD who are not taking the drug is 2.3 minutes long. His sample of 12 students taking the drug yielded a mean of 4.6 minutes. Justin can find no information regarding σx , so he calculated s2x =1.96. a. Identify the independent and dependent variables. b. In a sentence, state the null hypothesis being tested. c. Using symbols, state the null and alternative hypotheses. d. Determine the critical region using a one-tailed test with alpha = .05. e .Conduct the hypothesis test (Do the math and compare the t-critical and t-obtained values). f. State your conclusions in terms of H0 (Should you reject the H0 or fail to reject/accept the H0). g. Based on your analysis, is there a relationship between the drug and attention span?
