Question

Suppose that Dietitians recently recommended a 400 cal per meal and take her children of the age of the data set. To see if both groups adhere to the guideline follow the steps to develop and test a statistical hypothesis. Test to see if us groups means are different from 400 calories. You have two data sets so you'll be completing the process twice. Use 0.05 as a level of significance and make sure to report any important statistic with your results (e.g., mean of each group, standard deviation of each group, test stastistic (are you using t or z?), rejection region and p value).

1. State null and alternative hypothesis.
2. choose level of significance (alpha value)

3. Select the appropriate test stastic.
4. draw the rejection region

5. collect the data, calculate the appropriate test statistic and determine if it falls within the region of rejection or non-rejection.

Definition Definition Measure of central tendency that is the average of a given data set. The mean value is evaluated as the quotient of the sum of all observations by the sample size. The mean, in contrast to a median, is affected by extreme values. Very large or very small values can distract the mean from the center of the data. Arithmetic mean: The most common type of mean is the arithmetic mean. It is evaluated using the formula: μ = 1 N ∑ i = 1 N x i Other types of means are the geometric mean, logarithmic mean, and harmonic mean. Geometric mean: The nth root of the product of n observations from a data set is defined as the geometric mean of the set: G = x 1 x 2 ... x n n Logarithmic mean: The difference of the natural logarithms of the two numbers, divided by the difference between the numbers is the logarithmic mean of the two numbers. The logarithmic mean is used particularly in heat transfer and mass transfer. ln x 2 − ln x 1 x 2 − x 1 Harmonic mean: The inverse of the arithmetic mean of the inverses of all the numbers in a data set is the harmonic mean of the data. 1 1 x 1 + 1 x 2 + ...
