The mean height of 50 male students who showed above-average participation in college athletics was 68.2 inches (in) with a standard deviation of 2.5 in, while 50 male students who showed no interest in such participation had a mean height of 67.5 in with a standard deviation of 2.8 in. Test the hypothesis that male students who participate in college athletics are taller than other male students at 0.1 level.

A sports writer wants to see if a football filled with helium travels farther, on average, than a football filled with air. 12 footballs were filled with helium to the recommend pressure and 15 footballs were filled with air to the recommended pressure. The mean yardage for the helium filled footballs was 267 yards with a standard deviation of 3 yards. The mean yardage for the air filled footballs was 241 yards with a standard deviation of 5 yards. Assume the populations are normal with equal variances. (a). Construct a 99% confidence interval for the mean difference in in yardage for the two types of footballs Lower bound (use 3 decimal places) Upper bound (use 3 decimal places) (b). What can you conclude about the sports writer's idea that helium footballs travel farther, on average? The helium footballs are no different than the other footballs, on average The other footballs travel farther on average than the helium footballs The helium footballs travel farther on average than the…
A simple random sample of 95 basketball players is taken from different teams and their mean weight is found to be 226 pounds and the standard deviation of the population is 20 pounds. Using 0.05 level of significance , test the claim that the average weight for all basketball players is 231 pounds.

A psychologist investigated whether there is a difference, on average, in IQ scores for twins. She randomly selected 30 sets of twins from a database and measured their IQs. The mean difference (firstborn – second-born) was 2.1 points with a standard deviation of 7.2 points. Do the data provide a convincing evidence of a difference, on average, in IQ scores for twins? Do Perform the calculations, then complete the conclusion. Conclude Because the P-value, which is , is = 0.05, we H0. We convincing evidence of , on average, in IQ scores for twins.
A random sample of 50 students taken from ABC high school showed that they spent 6.1 hours per day for playing computer games on the average with a standard deviation of 3.2 hours per day. Estimate the true average hours per day spent for playing computer games by the ABC high school students.
The General Electric Company clams that the life of LED light bulbs are has a mean life of 500 hours with the standard deviation of 50 hours. Test the claim of the manufacturer if a random sample of 80 LED light tested and found out to be 450 hours only. Use 5% level of significance.
A researcher claims that the stomachs of blue crabs from Location A contain more fish than the stomachs of blue crabs from Location B. The stomach contents of a sample of 13 blue crabs from Location A contain a mean of 191 milligrams of fish and a standard deviation of 38 milligrams. The stomach contents of a sample of 8 blue crabs from Location B contain a mean of 189 milligrams of fish and a standard deviation of 44 milligrams. At a = 0.10, can you support the researcher's claim? Assume the population variances are equal. Complete parts (a) through (d) below. t= 0.110 (Round to three decimal places as needed.) (c) Calculate the P-value. P=|| (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
The blood platelet counts of a group of women have a bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 253.8 and a standard deviation of 61.7. What is the approximate percentage of women with platelet counts between 192.1 and 315.5?
It is said that a person’s height changes from morning to night, possibility in response to gravity compressing the spinal columns and the joints in the legs. The height of 14 persons (an equal number of men and women) were measured in the morning and at night and it was discovered that the average height in the morning was 1.750 m and 1.735 m. The mean change in height was 1.5 cm with a sample standard deviation of 3 cm. Any height change in the human population is known to be distributed normally. Is it correct to say that the true average change in height from morning to night is 2.5 cm with a significance level of 0.1)?
A research article reported that for a random sample of 850 meal purchases made at fast food chain A, the mean number of calories was 1,004, and the standard deviation was 489. For a random sample of 2,108 meal purchases made at fast food chain B, the mean number of calories was 905, and the standard deviation was 622. Based on these samples, is there convincing evidence that the mean number of calories in fast food chain B meal purchases is less than the mean number of calories in fast food chain A meal purchases? (Test the relevant hypotheses using a 0.05 level of significance. Use ?1 for fast food chain B and ?2 for fast food chain A.) State the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses. Find the test statistic and P-value. (Use SALT. Round your test statistic to one decimal place and your P-value to three decimal places.) t= P-value= State the conclusion in the problem context. We fail to reject H0. There is convincing evidence that the mean number of calories in fast food…
