The average age at which adolescent girls reach their adult height is 16 years. Suppose you have a sample of 29 adolescent girls who are developmentally delayed, and who have an average age at which they reached their adult height of 17.8 years and a sample variance of 77.4 years. You want to test the hypothesis that adolescent girls who are developmentally delayed have a different age at which they reached their adult height than all adolescent girls. In order to calculate the t statistic, you first need to calculate the estimated standard error. The estimated standard error SM = (round to four decimals)

A racing car consumes a mean of 101 gallons of gas per race with a variance of 49. If 43 racing cars are randomly selected, what is the probability that the sample mean would differ from the population mean by greater than 2.4 gallons? Round your answer to four decimal places.
Has the Percentage of U.S. Adults Who Smoke Decreased since 2007? With data from the 2005-2007 National Health Interview Survey, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated that about 20% of U.S. adults (18 and older) smoke. Is the percentage lower this year? Suppose we select a random sample of 100 adults (18 and older) this year. The conditions are met for use of a normal model, because we expect 20 smokers (20% of 100) in the sample and 80 nonsmokers. Both expected counts are greater than 10, so we use a z-score and a standard normal curve to assess the evidence. (The standard error is 0.04.) Suppose that 15 in our sample of 100 are smokers. Which conclusion is supported by the data? We cannot conclude that the percentage of U.S. adults (18 and older) who smoke is less than 20% this year. We can conclude that the percentage of U.S. adults (18 and older) who smoke is less than 20% this year. Incorrect. You are right that the percentage in the sample is 15% and this is…
Does increased sleep lead to better SAT scores? A sample of 11 participants slept for at least 10 hours before taking the SAT. The sample's SAT scores were compared to the national average SAT score (population mean). Analyses found that participants in the sample had significantly higher SAT scores compared to the population, with t-statistic = 2.00. How much of the variance in SAT scores was explained by increasing sleep?
Citrus Rental is a popular car rental agency that has a history of having too few cars available, so that its available cars are overdriven. The mean monthly mileage over the years for Citrus cars has been about 1500 miles per month. Recently, though, Citrus purchased thousands of new cars, and the company claims that the average mileage of its cars is now less than in the past. To test this, a random sample of 18 recent mileages of Citrus cars was taken. The mean of these 18 mileages was 1380 miles per month, and the standard deviation was 248 miles per month. Assume that the population of recent monthly mileages of Citrus cars is normally distributed. At the 0.1 level of significance, can it be concluded that the mean recent monthly mileage, μ, of Citrus cars is less than 1500 miles per month? Perform a one-tailed test. Then fill in the table attached. Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places and round your answers as specified in the table.
A therapist would like to evaluate an intervention for treating depression. A sample of n = 20 depressed clients is obtained, and each person’s level of depression is measured using a standardized questionnaire before they begin the therapy program. Two weeks after therapy, each client’s level of depression is measured again. The average level of depression dropped by 4.0 points following therapy. The difference scores had a variance of 64. Identify and Cclculate the appropriate test statistic.Make sure to report the degrees of freedom for the statistical test (if appropriate). You must show your work to receive full credit. State your conclusions (use a two-tailed test with a = .05 for all tests). Compute an effect size.
Professor Hayashi has implemented a new book for his Fall 2013 statistics course. He wants to see if the new book has an effect on the exam average for Exam 3. He knows that the Exam 3 mean for all students who have taken his statistic course over the past 10 years is 77.2. He collects some data from a sample of 9 students and finds that the Exam 3 mean for his Fall 2013 statistics students is 81.7 with a variance of 32.49.Measure effect size using Cohen's D.
9% of US employees who are late for work blame Oversleeping. You randomly select 4 US employees who are late and ask if they blame oversleeping. The random variable represents the number of US employees who are late and blame over sleeping. the mean ? the variance? the standard deviation? The avg # of adults that blame over sleeping would differ from the mean no more than ?

You are conducting a study to see if the proportion of voters who prefer candidates a is significantly different from 0.6. Thus you are performing a two-tailed test. Your sample data produce the test statistics z=-1.65. Find the p-value accurate to 4 decimal places
Suppose that you randomly survey death records for people born in 1900 in Louisiana and compared the life span of two different ethnicities. Of the 109 individuals sampled from ethnicity 1, the mean life span was 45.5 years with a standard deviation of 18.2 years. Of the 105 individuals sampled from ethnicity 2, the mean life span was 44.9 years with a standard deviation of 11.4 years. Conduct a hypothesis test with a 10% level of significance to see if the mean life spans in Louisiana were the same for the two ethnicities. Step 1: State the null and alternative hypotheses. Ho: µ1 – µ2 =v Ha:H1 – µ2 # v (So we will be performing a two-tailed ♥ test.)
The US Department of Health and Human Services compiles statistics on the consumption of alcohol. An investigator decides to look at the role of age in determining alcohol use. She requests data on the amount of drinking done by three different age groups: 16- to 20-year-olds, 21- to 25-year-olds, and ≥ 26-year-olds. The results come in, and a statistician conducts an analysis of variance. The is that there is no difference between the population means (in other words, there is no treatment effect). The is that at least one of the population means is different from another (in other words, there is an effect of at least one of the treatments). Note: The term “treatment effect” is used even when there is not actually a treatment. The age group is . The treatments (16- to 20-year-olds, 21- to 25-year-olds, and ≥ 26-year-olds) are . Which of the following might contribute to within-treatments variance? Check all that apply. Systematic…
