An economist studying inflation in electricity prices in 2018 and 2019 believes that the average price of electricity, even after adjusting for inflation, changed between these two years. To test his claim, he samples 9 different counties and records the average price of electricity in each county from each year. He then adjusts the prices for inflation. His results are given in the following table. Test the economist’s claim at the 0.10 level of significance assuming that the population distribution of the paired differences is approximately normal. Let prices in 2018 be Population 1 and prices in 2019 be Population 2.

Number of Number of Claims factories reporting number of claims 144 1 91 2 32 10 4 2 5 and above It is suspected that the number of injuries per factory follows a Poisson distribution with mean of 0,71. Using the 5% level of significance, test if the Poisson distribution suspected, is of good fit to the data.
Suppose a data set from a bike share company contains the number of daily bike rentals at each of 6 stations for the 23 weekdays of a particular month, i.e. we have Yij for i = 1, ..., 23 and j 1,...6. Write down a hierarchical normal model that can be used to estimate the mean number of bike rentals at each station. You can assume that the unknown variance o? of the number of bike rentals is the same for each station.
Exercise on ANOVA 1. A dietition wanted to test three different diets to find out if the mean weight loss for each of these diets is the same. She randomly selected 21 overweight person, randomly divided them into three groups, and put each group on one of the three diets. The following table records the weights (In kg) loss by these persons after being on these diets for two months. Diet 1 Diet 2 Diet 3 15 11 9 8 16 17 17 9 11 7 16 8 26 24 15 12 20 6 8 19 14 a) We are to test if the mean weight lost by all persons on each of the three diets is the same.

Hi, I'd really appreciate your help with this question. I'm not sure how to calculate the mean if the values greater than 8 are unknown.
A school district decided to measure the BMI of all 3rd graders and identify the highest 1% and lowest 1% of those students. If the distribution is converted to a z distribution, what would be the upper critical z value and lower critical z value that mark the two significant areas at the tails?
For the following claim, find the critical value. Assume that a simple random sample has been selected from a normally distributed population. Claim: The mean IQ score of statistics professors is greater than 130 Sample data: n= 28, x= 123, s=6. The significance level is a = 0.01.
The following data lists the ages of a random selection of actresses when they won an award in the category of Best Actress, along with the ages of actors when they won in the category of Best Actor the same year. Using a 0.05 significance level, test the claim that for the population of ages of Best Actresses and Best Actors, the differences have a mean less than 0. This claim would indicate that the Best Actresses are generally younger than Best Actors. Actress (years) 27 30 31 27 37 28 29 40 30 32 Actor (years) 66 33 40 34 27 34 48 42 41 43 State the claim, null, and alternative hypothesis. Claim: μd 0 HO: μd 0 H1: μd 0
Are juvenile defendants who are released pending adjudication processed more slowly than those who are detained? The JDCC data set records whether a juvenile was released and the number of months it took for that juvenile’s case to reach a disposition. The sample will be narrowed to black female youth. Released juveniles (Sample 1) had a mean of 4.30 months to disposition (s = 3.86, N = 123) and detained juveniles (Sample 2) had a mean of 3.57 (s = 4.20, N = 64). Using an alpha level of .01, test the hypothesis that released juveniles’ mean time-to-adjudication is significantly greater than detained juveniles’ mean. Assume equal population variances. Use all five steps.

To test his claim, he samples 9 different counties and records the average price of electricity in each county from each year. He then adjusts the prices for inflation. His results are given in the following table. Test the economist's claim at the 0.02 level of significance assuming that the population distribution of the paired differences is approximately normal.
