The data shown in the table represent the measurements of 10-kΩ resistors (in kΩ) produced from four different machines. A random sample of nine resistors from each machine is taken to determine whether the mean resistance varies from one machine to another. Perform analysis of variance and test the hypothesis at the 0.05 level of significance that the mean resistances differ significantly for the five machines.

A physical therapist wanted to know whether the mean step pulse of men was less than the mean step pulse of women. She randomly selected 54 men and 70 women to participate in the study. Each subject was required to step up and down a 6-inch platform. The pulse of each subject was then recorded. The following results were obtained. Two sample T for Men vs Women N Mean StDev SE Mean Men Women 98% CI for mu Men - mu Women (- 12.20, - 1.00) T-Test mu Men = mu Women (vs H2 O C.

The Precision Machining Company makes hand-held tools on an assembly line that produces one product every minute. On one of the products, the critical quality dimension is the diameter (measured in thousandths of an inch) of a hole bored in one of the assemblies. Management wants to detect any shift in the process average diameter from 0.010 in. Management considers the variance in the process to be in control. Historically, the average range has been 0.002 in., regardless of the process average. Design an x-chart to control this process, with a center line at 0.010 in. and the control limits set at three sigmas from the center line. Management provided the results of 80 minutes of output from the production line, as shown in the table below. During these 80 minutes, the process average changed once.

A study of parental empathy for sensitivity cues and baby temperament (higher scores mean more empathy) was performed. Let x1 be a random variable that represents the score of a mother on an empathy test (as regards her baby). Let x2 be the empathy score of a father. A random sample of 40 mothers gave a sample mean of x1 = 68.36. Another random sample of 36 fathers gave x2 = 57.34. Assume that ?1 = 11.83 and ?2 = 11.72.

Snow avalanches can be a real problem for travelers in the western United States and Canada. A very common type of avalanche is called the slab avalanche. These have been studied extensively by David McClung, a professor of civil engineering at the University of British Columbia. Suppose slab avalanches studied in a region of Canada had an average thickness of u = 67 cm. The ski patrol at Vail, Colorado, is studying slab avalanches in its region. A random sample of avalanches in spring gave the following thicknesses (in cm). 59 51 76 38 65 54 49 62 68 55 64 67 63 74 65 79 (i) Use a calculator with sample mean and standard deviation keys to find x and s.

A study was conducted to examine the difference between the average cholesterol levels in the blood of men and females. It can be assumed that cholesterol levels follow a normal distribution in both populations and that the distribution in the populations is similar (e. Assume that cholesterol levels follow a normal distribution in both populations with similar variances). An equal number of measurements were made on men and women. The results were entered into R and the R code and output can be seen below: t.test(kol$mael-kol$kyn,var.equal = T) %3D Two Sample t-test data: kol$mael by kol$kyn t = 5.7731, df = 18, p-value alternative hypothesis: true difference in means is not equal to 0 95 percent confidence interval: 15.28775 32.78050 = 0.000018 sample estimates: mean in group Men mean in group women 219.2115 195.1774 1.

There are two samples. Sample 1 has n=10 and a sample variance of 4. Sample 2 has n=8 and a sample variance of 9. Calculate the standard error of the difference between the two sample means (to 2 decimal points). Assume that the variances in the two populations that produced the samples are equal.
Suppose that having a widow's peak was a dominant trait (W) compared to not having a widow's peak (w). In a sample size of 30 students, 15 were observed to have a widow's peak and 15 did not have a widow's peak. The expected frequency of a widow's peak is 75% chance of getting it and a 25% chance of not getting it. Perform a chi square analysis to see if the data above agrees with the predicted outcome.

According to Zero Population Growth, the average urban U.S. resident consumes 3.3 pounds of food per day. Is this figure accurate for rural U.S. residents? Suppose 64 rural U.S. residents are identified by a random procedure and their average consumption per day is 3.60 pounds of food. Assume a population variance of 1.31 pounds of food per day. Use a 5% level of significance to determine whether the Zero Population Growth figure for urban U.S. residents also is true for rural U.S. residents on the basis of the sample data.

For the general population, the average fatigue level is μ = 50. A researcher is testing the hypothesis that engaging a meditation exercise reduces employee fatigue. A sample of n = 30 participants is obtained, and each participant engaged in a meditation exercise for 20 minutes at work each workday for a month. This sample’s average fatigue level was M = 46 with a sample variance of 100 after the month. Please write out the four steps for this hypothesis test assuming an alpha level of .05.
