The bank manager wants to show that the new system reduces typical customer waiting times to less than 6 minutes. One way to do this is to demonstrate that the mean of the population of all customer waiting times is less than 6. Letting this mean be µ, in this exercise we wish to investigate whether the sample of 99 waiting times provides evidence to support the claim that µ is less than 6. For the sake of argument, we will begin by assuming that µ equals 6, and we will then attempt to use the sample to contradict this assumption in favor of the conclusion that u is less than 6. Recall that the mean of the sample of 99 waiting times is i = 5.39 and assume that o, the standard deviation of the population of all customer waiting times, is known to be 2.22. (a) Consider the population of all possible sample means obtained from random samples of 99 waiting times. What is the shape of this population of sample means? That is, what is the shape of the sampling distribution of ? Normal because the sample is large

A weight-loss program wants to test how well their program is working. The company selects a simple random sample of 51 individual that have been using their program for 15 months. For each individual person, the company records the individual's weight when they started the program 15 months ago as an x-value. The subject's current weight is recorded as a y-value. Therefore, a data point such as (205, 190) would be for a specific person and it would indicate that the individual started the program weighing 205 pounds and currently weighs 190 pounds. In other words, they lost 15 pounds. When the company performed a regression analysis, they found a correlation coefficient of r = 0.707. This clearly shows there is strong correlation, which got the company excited. However, when they showed their data to a statistics professor, the professor pointed out that correlation was not the right tool to show that their program was effective. Correlation will NOT show whether or not there is…
You conducted additional studies with these men and found the following: The RR for those who drank one drink per day was 1.50 (95% CI:1.32-1.67) in comparison to the abstainers. For those men who drank three or more drinks per day the RR compared to the abstainers was 4.20 (95% CI 2.68-5.85). Which one of Hill’s criteria does this illustrate? Explain.
1. On the basis of her experience with clients, a clinical psychologist thinks that depression may affect sleep. She decides to test this idea. The sleep of nine depressed patients and eight normal controls is monitored for three consecutive nights. The average number of hours slept by each subject during the last two nights is shown in the following table: (Pagano, 2010). If proved significant, compute of the effect size. Hours of Sleep Depressed patients 7.1 Normal controls 8.2 6.8 7.5 6.7 7.3 7.7 7.8 7.5 8.0 6.2 7.4 6.9 7.3 6.5 6.5 7.2
The bank manager wants to show that the new system reduces typical customer waiting times to less than 6 minutes. One way to do this is to demonstrate that the mean of the population of all customer waiting times is less than 6. Letting this mean be μ, in this exercise we wish to investigate whether the sample of 93 waiting times provides evidence to support the claim that is less than 6. For the sake of argument, we will begin by assuming that u equals 6, and we will then attempt to use the sample to contradict this assumption in favor of the conclusion that is less than 6. Recall that the mean of the sample of 93 waiting times is x = 5.48 and assume that σ, the standard deviation of the population of all customer waiting times, is known to be 2.24. (a) Consider the population of all possible sample means obtained from random samples of 93 waiting times. What is the shape of this population of sample means? That is, what is the shape of the sampling distribution of x ? Normal because…
my answer for part b) of 6.24 was: (4.3, 9.26) so the variability in Hours is equal to 4.3 hours to 9.26 hours and in minutes its 258 to 555.6 minutes. I also posted 6.24 the previous exercise so that you have all the information but I need help with 6.25.
The population mean will always be the same as the mean of all possible X that can be computed from samles of size 24. True or false
5. A recent study indicates that simply giving college students (n-30) a pedometer can result in increased walking (Jackson & Howton, 2008). Students were given pedometers for a 12-week period, and asked to record the average number of steps per day during weeks 1, 6, and 12. a. Which variables are described in this scenario and what are their scales of measurement? b. Which test should you use?
State the null and alternative hypotheses that would be used to test the following claims. 1. (a) There is a difference between the mean ages of employees at two different large companies. (b) The mean of population A is less than 50 more than the mean of population B. (c) The average length of the workweek in mining is longer than that in manufacturing.
