Question

**Gecko Body Temperature Study**

The body temperatures of two species of geckos were measured:

- **Species A:** 10 geckos with a mean noon temperature of 32.66°C and a standard deviation of $s_1 = 0.81°C$.
- **Species B:** 11 geckos with a mean noon temperature of 30.12°C and a standard deviation of $s_2 = 0.75°C$.

To test the hypothesis of no difference versus the alternative hypothesis of a difference in mean noon temperature at the 5% level of significance, one would need to calculate the t-calculated value.

**Question:** What are the t-calculated and t-critical values?

**Options:**

- Calculated = 7.46; Critical = 2.776
- Calculated = -3.458; Critical = 2.080
- Calculated = 7.46; Critical = 2.093
- Calculated = -3.458; Critical = 2.776

Suppose the average size of a new house built in a certain county in 2014 was 2,270 square feet. A random sample of 25 new homes built in this county was selected in 2018. The average square footage was 2,191, with a sample standard deviation of 223 square feet. Complete parts a and b. Using α=0.02, does this sample provide enough evidence to conclude that the average house size of a new home in the county has changed since 2014? Determine the null and alternative hypotheses.
An engineer working for a tire manufacturer investigates the average life of a new material to be used in the manufacturing process. For this purpose, he builds a sample of 13 tires and tests them in a laboratory until the end of their useful life is reached. The data obtained from the sample are as follows: average of 60897.9 km and standard deviation of 2734.8 km. The engineer would like to demonstrate that the average service life of the tire with the new material exceeds 60,000 km. a) State the null and alternative hypothesis to be stated in this experiment. Test the stated hypotheses using an α = 0.05 What conclusions are reached? b) Find a 95% confidence interval for the average tire life with the new material. Interpret your answer.

Bowker and Lieberman (1972) gave the results for tests of two thermostats used in irons that were made by an old supplier and a new supplier. 18 thermostats were sampled from the old supplier and 21 thermostats were sampled from the new supplier.

Suppose two proposed computer mouse designs were compared by recording wrist extension in degrees for 23 people who each used both mouse types. The difference in wrist extension was calculated by subtracting extension for mouse type B from the wrist extension for mouse type A for each student. The mean difference was reported to be 8.71 degrees. Assume that it is reasonable to regard this sample of 23 people as representative of the population of computer users. (a) Suppose that the standard deviation of the differences was 10 degrees. Is there convincing evidence that the mean wrist extension for mouse type A is greater than for mouse type B?

A study was conducted in which mice that had a dim light on at night (rather than complete darkness) ate most of their calories when they should have been resting. These mice gained a significant amount of weight, despite eating the same number of calories as mice kept in total darkness. The time of eating seemed to have a significant effect. There were 10 mice in the group with dim light at night and they gained an average of 7.9 g with a standard deviation of 3.0.
