The following numbers are the differences in pulse rate (beats per minute) before and after running for 6 randomly selected people. Positive numbers mean the pulse rate went up: 24, 12, 14, 12, 16, 10. Test the hypothesis that the mean difference in pulse rate was more than 0, using a significance level of 0.05. Assume the population is Normally distributed. a) State the hypotheses. b) give the resulting t-statistic and p-value. c) use the p-value to make a conclusion about whether or not to favor the null hypothesis. State your conclusion in the context of the problem.

A dietitian wishes to see if a person's cholesterol level will change if the diet is supplemented by a certain mineral. Seven subjects were pretested and then took the mineral supplement for a six-week period. The results are shown below in the table. Use a paired samples t-chart at a = 0.01 significance level to see difference (Before - After) between the cholesterol levels. State the hypotheses and conclusion. Also, conduct a 99% confidence interval. Subject 1 Before 210 After 190 2 205 170 3 208 210 4 192 188 5 178 173 6 244 228 7 211 198
A developmental psychologist is interested in studying how long babies gaze at a photograph of a human face. To test this question, she shows a picture to a sample of six babies and records the length of their gaze in seconds. The data are as follows: 12, 17, 18, 20, 20, 29. Calculate the mean, median, mode, range, variance and standard deviation for the sample.
The number of hours per week that the television is turned on is determined for each family in a sample. The mean of the data is 31 hours and the median is 27.2hours. Twenty-four of the families in the sample turned on the television for 16 hours or less for the week. The 8th percentile of the data is 16 hours. Based on the given information, determine if the following statement is true or false. The first quartile is less than 16 hours.
A software company is interested in improving customer satisfaction rate from the 60% currently claimed. The company sponsored a survey of 148 customers and found that 95 customers were satisfied. What is the test statistic z?
According to previous studies, the mean distance each visitor in Greenspan National Park hikes during their visit is 30 kilometers. The park recently closed its shuttle system, which used to transport hikers to many of the park's most popular hiking trails. Because of this, an administrator at the park suspects the mean distance, u, is now less than 30 kilometers. The administrator chooses a random sample of 45 visitors. The mean distance hiked for the sample is 27.2 kilometers. Assume the population standard deviation is 9.9 kilometers. Can the administrator conclude that the mean distance hiked by each visitor is now less than 30 kilometers? Perform a hypothesis test, using the 0.10 level of significance. (a) State the null hypothesis H, and the alternative hYpothesis H,. O
An athletic shoemaker wants to test if their new running shoe specially made for sprinting is better than the competition. To do this, they recruit 35 NCAA sprinters and time their 100-meter dash wearing the company's shoe and then time their 100-meter dash again wearing the competitor’s shoe. The difference of these times is then calculated asTimecompany.shoe−Timecompetitor.shoe. The sample mean difference in times is 0.53 seconds and the sample standard deviation is 1.1. Conduct a hypothesis test at theα=0.1 level.

A statistician changes her level of significance from .001 to .05. What impact will this change have on her risk of making a Type I and Type II error? Is the change in the level of significance a good decision? Why or why not?
Only need the last question. Please put anwsers in bold thank you! A researcher with the Department of Education followed a cohort of students who graduated from high school in a certain year, monitoring the progress the students made toward completing a bachelor's degree. One aspect of his research was to determine whether students who first attended community college took longer to attain abachelor's degree than those who immediately attended and remained at a 4-year institution.
