A random sample of 23 chemists from Washington state shows an average salary of $45553 with a standard deviation of $877. A random sample of 19 chemists from Florida state shows an average salary of $44422 with a standard deviation of $571. A chemist that has worked in both states believes that chemists in Washington make a different amount than chemists in Florida. At a=0.05 is this chemist correct? Let Washington be sample 1 and Florida be sample 2. The correct hypotheses are: O Ho: H1 µ2(claim) O Ho: H1 2 H2 HA: H1 < µ2(claim) O Ho:µ1 = µ2 HA: H1 + u2(claim) Since the level of significance is 0.05 the critical value is 2.024 and -2.024 The test statistic is: (round to 3 places) The p-value is: (round to 3 places) The decision can be made to: O reject Ho O do not reject Ho The final conclusion is that: O There is enough evidence to reject the claim that chemists in Washington make a different amount than chemists in Florida. O There is not enough evidence to reject the claim that…
The brain volumes (cm) of 20 brains have a mean of 1098.4 cm° and a standard deviation of 120.1 cm. Use the given standard deviation and the range rule of thumb are significantly low or significantly high. For such data, would a brain volume of 1328.6 cm° be significantly high? identify the limits separating values that Significantly low values are cm or lower. (Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.)

Assume that the readings at freezing on a bundle of thermometers are normally distributed with a mean of 0°C and a standard deviation of 1.00°C. A single thermometer is randomly selected and tested.If 4.8% of the thermometers are rejected because they have readings that are too high and another 4.8% are rejected because they have readings that are too low, find the two readings that are cutoff values separating the rejected thermometers from the others.interval of acceptable thermometer readings =_____________ °C
An electrical engineer wishes to compare the mean lifetimes of two types of transistors in an application involving high-temperature performance. A sample of 60 transistors of type A were tested and were found to have a mean lifetime of 1827 hours and a standard deviation of 174 hours. A sample of 180 transistors of type B were tested and were found to have a mean lifetime of 1658 hours and a standard deviation of 231 hours. Let ux represent the population mean for transistors of type A and µy represent the population mean for transistors of type B. Find a 95% confidence interval for the difference uy – µy . Round the answers to three decimal places. The 95% confidence interval is
Assume that the readings at freezing on a batch of thermometers are normally distributed with a mean of O°C and a standard deviation of 1.00°C. A single thermometer is randomly selected and tested. If 1.7% of the thermometers are rejected because they have readings that are too high and another 1.7% are rejected because they have readings that are too low, find the two readings that are cutoff values separating the rejected thermometers from the others. interval of acceptable thermometer readings = ɔ.
The birth weights for two groups of babies were compared in a study. In one group the mothers took a zinc supplement during pregnancy. In another group, the mothers took a placebo. A sample of 176 babies in the zinc group had a mean birth weight of 3270 grams. A sample of 220 babies in the placebo group had a mean birth weight of 3144 grams. Assume that the population standard deviation for the zinc group is 718 grams, while the population standard deviation for the placebo group is 780 grams. Determine the 90%90% confidence interval for the true difference between the mean birth weights for "zinc" babies versus "placebo" babies. Find the point estimate for the true difference between the population means.
Water samples are taken from water used for cooling as it is being discharged from a power plant into a river. It has been determined that as long as the mean temperature of the discharged water is at most 150°F, there will be no negative effects on the river's ecosystem. To investigate whether the plant is in compliance with regulations that prohibit a mean discharge water temperature above 150°, 50 water samples will be taken at randomly selected times and the temperature of each sample recorded. The resulting data will be used to test the hypotheses Ho: μ = 150° versus H₂: μ > 150°. In the context of this situation, describe type I error. a A type I error occurs when our estimate for the mean discharge temperature is higher than the actual temperature. A type I error occurs when we say that the plant is not in compliance when in fact it is. A type I error occurs when our estimate for the mean discharge temperature is lower than the actual temperature. A type I error occurs when we…
