The confidence interval for the population variance was found to be 86.233 to 456.955. However, a confidence interval for the population standard deviation is needed. Recall that the standard deviation is the positive square root of the variance. Therefore, the confidence interval for the standard deviation can be found by taking the positive square root of the lower and upper bounds for the variance. Substitute a? = 86.233 to find the lower bound for the confidence interval of the population standard deviation, rounding the result to two decimal places. lower bound of a - V lower bound of a2 Substitute o2 = 456.955 to find the upper bound for the confidence interval of the population standard deviation, rounding the result to two decimal places. upper bound of a - V upper bound of a² Therefore, a 95% confidence interval for the population standard deviation for the underpricing-overpricing indicator is from a lower bound of | to an upper bound of

In the general population, IQ scores are normally distributed with a mean of 95 and a standard deviation of 17. You wish to examine whether post-graduates at RMIT have a different level of intelligence than the general population. You sampled 29 RMIT postgraduates and measured their IQ which resulted in a mean of 116 and a standard deviation of 14.4. Calculate Cohen's d. Give your answer to 2 decimal places.
Does it take a different amount of time for seeds to germinate if they are near rock music that is continuously playing compared to being near classical music? The 48 seeds that were exposed to rock music took an average of 28 days to germinate. The standard deviation was 13 days. The 47 seeds that were exposed to classical music took an average of 32 days to germinate. The standard deviation for these seeds was 10 days. What can be concluded at the a - 0.01 level of significance? a. For this study, we should use Select an answer b.

It takes an average of 9.8 minutes for blood to begin clotting after an injury. An EMT wants to see if the average will change if the patient is immediately told the truth about the injury. The EMT randomly selected 52 injured patients to immediately tell the truth about the injury and noticed that they averaged 10.7 minutes for their blood to begin clotting after their injury. Their standard deviation was 1.98 minutes. What can be concluded at the the αα = 0.05 level of significance?

A scientist has read that the mean birth weight of babies born at full term is 7.4 pounds. The scentist has good reason to believe that the mean birth weight of babies born at full term, µ, is greater than this value and plans to perform a statistical test. She selects a random sample of birth weights of babies born at full term and finds the mean of the sample to be 7.8 pounds and the standard deviation to be 1.6 pounds. Based on this information, complete the parts below. (a) what are the null hypothesis H, and the alternative hypothesis H, that should be used for the test? Ho :0 O
A recent study of 100 social workers in a southern state found that their mean salary was $23,000 with a standard deviation of $2100. A similar study of 95 social workers in a western state found that their mean salary was $34,200 with a standard deviation of$3200. Find the test statistic and critical value when the claim that the mean salaries of social workers in the western state is greater than that of social workers in the southern state. Use α = 0.05. Sample1: Social workers in a southern state, Sample2: Social workers in awestern state. a) Find the test statistic b) Find critical value
It takes an average of 14.5 minutes for blood to begin clotting after an injury. An EMT wants to see if the average will increase if the patient is immediately told the truth about the injury.

Many people believe that the average number of Facebook friends is 328. The population standard deviation is 32.2. A random sample of 60 high school students in a particular county revealed that the average number of Facebook friends was 340. At α = 0.05, is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean number of friends is greater than 328?
A psychologist is studying smokers self images, which she measures by the self image (SI) score from a personality inventory. For adults in the U.S., the mean SI score from this inventory is about 140. The psychologist gathers a random sample of 17 SI scores of smokers and finds that their mean is 164 and their standard deviation is 38. Assume that the population of SI scores of smokers is normally distributed with mean μ. Based on the sample, can the psychologist conclude that μ is different from 140? Use the 0.05 level of significance. Perform a two-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places and round your answers as specified in the table.
In the past, students in a particular course have achieved a mean Xmas test score of 72.6, with a standard deviation of 12.5. This year, 15 students in one section achieved a mean Xmas test score of 72.2, while 10 students in another section achieved a mean Xmas test score of 77.3.

The human resources department of a consulting firm gives a standard creativity test to a randomly selected group of new hires every year. This year, 65 new hires took the test and scored a mean of 113.2 points with a standard deviation of 13.4. Last year, 100 new hires took the test and scored a mean of 116.8 standard deviation of 14.6. Assume that the population standard deviations of the test scores of all new hires in the current year and the test scores of all new hires last year can be estimated by the sample standard deviations, as the samples used were quite large. Construct a 95% confidence interval points with for 4-, the difference between the mean test score u, of new hires from the current year and the mean test score , of new hires from last year. Then find the lower limit and upper limit of the 95% confidence interval. Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places. Round your answers to at least two decimal places.
