Assume that the heights of women are normally distributed. A random sample of 20 women have a mean height of 62.5 inches and a standard deviation of 1.3 inches. Construct a 98% confidence interval for the population variance, .
Researchers interested in determining the relative effectiveness of two different drug treatments on people with a chronic illness established two independent test groups. The first group consisted of 12 people with the illness, and the second group consisted of 14 people with the illness. The first group received treatment 1 and had a mean time until remission of 166 days with a standard deviation of 8 days. The second group received treatment 2 and had a mean time until remission of 163 days with a standard deviation of 9 days. Assume that the populations of times until remission for each of the two treatments are normally distributed with equal variance. Construct a 90% confidence interval for the difference −μ1μ2 between the mean number of days before remission after treatment 1 ( μ1 ) and the mean number of days before remission after treatment 2 ( μ2 ). Then find the lower limit and upper limit of the 90% confidence interval. Carry your intermediate…
Group A has 12 people and it is a random sample and they have an average heart rate of 100 and their standard deviation is 5. Group B has 18 people and their average heart rate is 90 and they have a standard deviation of 6. do these sample statistics provide sufficient evidence at a=0.01 to claim that the average heart rate for the population of group A is statistically greater than the heart rate of the population of group B?

Researchers interested in determining the relative effectiveness of two different drug treatments on people with a chronic illness established two independent test groups. The first group consisted of 15 people with the illness, and the second group consisted of 11 people with the illness. The first group received treatment 1 and had a mean time until remission of 187 days with a standard deviation of 6 days. The second group received treatment 2 and had a mean time until remission of 162 days with a standard deviation of 8 days. Assume that the populations of times until remission for each of the two treatments are normally distributed with equal variance. Construct a 90% confidence interval for the difference H₁-H₂ between the mean number of days before remission after treatment 1 (H₁) and the mean number of days before remission after treatment 2 (H₂). Then find the lower limit and upper limit of the 90% confidence interval. Carry your intermediate computations to at least three…
A sample of 100 postal employees found that the mean time these employees had worked for the postal service was eight years. Assume we know the standard deviation of the population of times postal service employees have spent with the postal service is five years. Find the 98% confidence interval for the mean time the population of postal service employees have spent with the postal service.
A fast-food franchise, looking to reduce wait times for customers, launched a pilot program where customers could use a smartphone app to place orders. The mean wait times (in seconds) for in-store and drive-through customers at 10 stores participating in the pilot program and at 10 stores not in the program are recorded. Assume that the population standard deviation of mean wait times is 30 seconds for both groups of stores and that the mean wait times are normally distributed for both groups of stores. Let the mean wait times of the stores not in the program be the first sample, and let the mean wait times of the stores in the program be the second sample. The franchise conducts a two-mean hypothesis test at the 0.05 level of significance, to test if there is evidence that the smartphone app reduces wait times. (a) H0:μ1=μ2; Ha:μ1>μ2, which is a right-tailed test. Mean Wait Time: Not In Program Mean Wait Time: In Program 275 176 284 218 307 261 290 252 351 238…
The average undergraduate cost for tuition, fees, and room and board for two-year institutions last year was $14,124. The following year, a random sample of 20 two-year institutions had a mean of $17,124 and a standard deviation of $3700. Is there sufficient evidence at the alpha level of 0.05 to conclude that the mean cost has increased. Show 6 steps of hypothesis
