The researcher at AUA has a hypothesis that on average it takes more than 6 weeks for the AUA bachelor student to find a job after the graduation. To test this assumption a random sample of 50 AUA bachelor graduates are taken with mean of 6.3 and standard deviation of 1.2. Test the hypothesis with the significance level of alpha = 0.05. The test statistics is equal to and the critical value is equal to thus The Null hypothesis that ]is[ not rejected mu is more than or equal to 6 -2.01 mu is less than or equal to 6 -1.77 mu is more than 6 rejected 2.01 1.77 1.68

A random sample of 23 bags of apples (marked as 10 pounds each) received by a large grocery chain tested out as having a mean of 9.2 pounds with a variance of 2.56 pounds. Test whether the true mean of all bags is under 10 pounds. Set up hypotheses. Perform the appropriate test by showing your formula. Interpret the results using a Type I (alpha) error of .05. Also provide the p value here. Also construct a 95% confidence interval around your sample mean (X bar) that should contain the true mean (mu). Also interpret this interval.
A psychologist has developed a standardized test for measuring vocabulary skill for 4 year old children. The scores on the test form a normal distribution with u = 70 and o = 20. A researcher would like to use the test to investigate the hypothesis that children who grow up as an only child develop vocabulary skills at a faster rate than children in larger families. A sample of n=25 only children is obtained and the mean test score for the sample is M = 77. Perform a two tailed hypothesis test, with an alpha level of .05, and add an APA summary.
The university data center has two main computers. The center wants to examine whether computer 1 is receiving tasks that require processing times comparable to those of computer 2 . A random sample of 14 processing times from computer 1 showed a mean of 54 seconds with a standard deviation of 20 seconds, while a random sample of 9 processing times from computer 2 (chosen independently of those for computer 1 ) showed a mean of 61 seconds with a standard deviation of 19 seconds. Assume that the populations of processing times are normally distributed for each of the two computers and that the variances are equal. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference −μ1μ2 between the mean processing time of computer 1 , μ1 , and the mean processing time of computer 2 , μ2 . Then complete the table below. Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places. Round your responses to at least two decimal places. (If necessary, consult a…
A researcher decides to measure anxiety in group of bullies and a group of bystanders using a 23-item, 3 point anxiety scale. Assume scores on the anxiety scales are normally distributed and the variance among the group of bullies and bystanders are the same. A group of 30 bullies scores an average of 21.5 with a sample standard deviation of 10 on the anxiety scale. A group of 27 bystanders scored an average of 25.8 with a sample standard deviation of 8 on the anxiety scale. You do not have any presupposed assumptions whether bullies or bystanders will be more anxious so you formulate the null and alternative hypothesis based on that.
Scores on a certain "IQ" test for 18-25 year olds are normally distributed. A researcher believes that the average IQ score for students at a certain NJ college is less than 110 points, and so wants to test this hypothesis. The researcher obtain a SRS of 45 student IQ scores from school records and found the mean of the 45 results was 108 with a sample standard deviation of 21. The level of significance (alpha) used for this problem is 0.05/ What is the appropriate test statistic (Student must complete by showing by formula using the ap- propriate values in that formula "showing work" and the final answer and appropriate label)? O T test score = (108-110)/(45/sqrt(21)) = -.2037 O I test score = (108-110)/(21/sqrt(45)) = -.639 T test score = (108-110)/(21/sqrt(45)) = .639 I test score = (110-108)/(21/sqrt(45)) = .639
A research tea believes that the weight of Grizzly adule male bears are normally distributed. A simple random saple of 23 Grizzly male bears yielded a mean weight of 277kg and a variance of 121. Let μ denote the mean weight for Grizzly adult male bears. Suppose the research teams wants to test, at the 5 % level of significance, whether the mean weight for Grizzly adult male bears is greater than 271kg. Suppose the assumptions to this hypothesis test are satisifed. a) What are the null and alternative hypothesis, and level of significance, for this hypothesis test? b) What is the distribution of the test statistic for this hypothesis test? c)What is the decision rule for this hypthesis test?
The university data center has two main computers. The center wants to examine whether computer 1 is receiving tasks which require comparable processing time to those of computer 2. A random sample of 11 processing times from computer 1 showed a mean of 35 seconds with a standard deviation of 20 seconds, while a random sample of 7 processing times from computer 2 (chosen independently of those for computer 1) showed a mean of 58 seconds with a standard deviation of 18 seconds. Assume that the populations of processing times are normally distributed for each of the two computers, and that the variances are equal. Can we conclude, at the 0.1 level of significance, that the mean processing time of computer 1, μ1, differs from the mean processing time of computer 2, μ2?Perform a two-tailed test. 1.The null hypothesis: 2.The alternative hypothesis: 3.The value of the test statistic:(Round to at least three decimal places.) 4.The p-value:(Round to at least three decimal places.)

Guidelines for the Jolly Blue Giant Health Insurance Company claim that the average hospitalization for a triple hernia operation should not exceed 30 hours. A diligent auditor studied records of 16 randomly chosen triple hernia operations at Hackmore Hospital and found a mean hospital stay of 20 hours with a standard deviation of 20 hours. Conduct a hypothesis test to see if the auditor can prove that the average does not exceed 30. (α=.025) Assume that the hospitalization time is normally distributed.
