The mean number of English courses taken in a two-year time period by male and female college students is believed to be about the same. An experiment is conducted and data are collected from 24 males and 26 females. The males took an average of 4.2 English courses with a standard deviation of 1.1. The females took an average of 3.9 English courses with a standard deviation of 0.7.

You are interested in comparing Ezekiel Elliott’s performance last season to this season. In particular you look at the average number of rushing yards per game. He played in 15 games last year and averaged 108.73 yards per game with a sample standard deviation of 30.95 yards. This year, he has played in 7 games so far and averaged 98.57 yards per game with a sample standard deviation of 48.40 yards. (a) Determine at the 5% significance level if his performance this year when it comes to average number of rushing yards per game is significantly different than last year. (b) Find a 95% confidence interval for the difference in the average number of rushing yards per game from last year to this year.
Researchers conducted an experiment to test the effects of alcohol. Errors were recorded in a test of visual and motor skills for a treatment group of 28 people who drank ethanol and another group of 28 people given a placebo. The errors for the treatment group have a standard deviation of 2.20, and the errors for the placebo group have a standard deviation of 0.77. Assume that the two populations are normally distributed. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that both groups have the same amount of variation among the errors. Let sample 1 be the sample with the larger sample variance, and let sample 2 be the sample with the smaller sample variance. What are the null and alternative hypotheses? OB. Ho: 0=02 O A.

Community college instructors' salaries in one state are very low, so low that educators in that state regularly complain about their compensation. The national mean is $57,636, but instructors from Mississippi claim that the mean in their state is significantly lower. They survey a simple random sample of 37 colleges in the state and calculate a mean salary of $52,534 with a standard deviation of $15,791. Test the instructors' claim at the 0.05 level of significance. Step 2 of 3: Compute the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to three decimal places.

An educator has developed a program to improve math scores on the Texas STAAR test. The average STAAR mathematics test for the third graders in the district was mean of 1472. A sample of n=30 third graders took the new math training program before taking the STAAR Math test. The average score for the students was M= 1497 with a standard deviation of 145. (note the standard deviaiton is not a variance). Was there a significant change in test scores (Use standard deviaiton = 0.05, two tailed test). Determine the t crit value.
Wall Street Journal reported that bachelor’s degree recipients with majors in business received average starting salaries of $53,900 in 2012 (the Wall Street Journal, March 17, 2014). The results for a sample of 100 business majors receiving a bachelor’s degree in 2013 showed a mean starting salary of $55,144 with a sample standard deviation of $5200. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine whether the mean starting salary for business majors in 2013 is greater than the mean starting salary in 2012. Use a = .01 as the level of significance.
Researchers from a certain country were interested in how characteristics of the spleen of residents in their tropical environment compare to those found elsewhere in the world. The researchers randomly sampled 93 males and 107 females in their country. The mean and standard deviation of the spleen lengths for the males were 10.8 cm and 0.9 cm, respectively, and those for the females were 10.2 cm and 0.7 cm, respectively. At the 5% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that a difference exists in the mean spleen lengths of males and females in the country?

You may need to use the appropriate technology to answer this question. Is there any difference in the variability in golf scores for players on a women's professional golf tour and players on a men's professional golf tour? A sample of 20 tournament scores from events in a tour for women showed a standard deviation of 2.4671 strokes, and a sample of 30 tournament scores from events in a tour for men showed a standard deviation of 2.2182. Conduct a hypothesis test for equal population variances to determine if there is any statistically significant difference in the variability of golf scores for male and female professional golfers. Use a = 0.10. State the null and alternative hypotheses. Ho: Find the value of the test statistic. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) Find the p-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.) p-value = State your conclusion. O Reject Ho. We cannot conclude that there is a difference in the variability of golf scores for male and female…

A bridal gown shop owner owns a store in San Francisco and a store in Redwood city. She is trying to figure out if clients tend to spend the same amount at both stores. She takes a random sample of 25 purchases from each store, and find the San Francisco store has a mean amount spent of $2500 with a standard deviation of $1500. The Redwood City store has a mean amount spent of $2000 with a standard deviation of $1000. Use a significance level of 10% to determine if the clients at the two stores spend the same amounts.

1) A study compared the weight loss of people on a low-fat diet versus people on a low-carb diet. In a sample of 100 obese people on a low-fat diet the sample mean weight loss as 7.6 pounds with a standard deviation of 3.2 pounds. In another sample of 120 obese people on a low-carb diet the sample mean weight loss was 6.7 pounds with a standard deviation of 3.9 pounds. a) Test the hypothesis, at the 5% level of significance, that there is a difference in the mean weight loss of using the 2 different diets. b) What is the p-value?
According to a news program, Americans take an average of 4.9 days off per year because of illness. The manager of a large chain of grocery stores wants to know if the employees at the grocery store, on average, take fewer days off than the national average. The manager selects a random sample of 80 employees in the company and found the sample mean number of days off for the 80 employees was 4.75 days with a standard deviation of 0.9 days. When the manager performed a significance test, the P-value was 0.07. What is the meaning of this P-value in context?
People who diet can expect to lose an average of 2 kg in a month. In a book, the authors claim that people who follow a new diet will lose an average of more than 2 kg in a month. The weight losses of the 18 people in a random sample who had followed the new diet for a month were noted. The sample mean was 2.1 kg and the standard deviation was 0.5 kg. Test the authors’ claim at the 5% significance level
