Assume that adults have IQ scores that are normally distributed with a mean of 100.3 and a standard deviation 16.7. Find the first quartile Q₁, which is the IQ score separating the bottom 25% from the top 75%. (Hint: Draw a graph.) The first quartile is (Type an integer or decimal rounded to one decimal place as needed.)
A researcher wants to test whether a certain sound will make rats do worse onlearning tasks. It is known that an ordinary rat can learn to run a particular maze correctly in 18 trials, with a standard deviation of 6. (The number of trials to learn this maze is normally distributed.) The researcher now tries an ordinary rat in the maze, but with the sound. The rat takes 38 trials to learn the maze.Using the .05 level, what should the researcher conclude? (b) Then explain your answer to someone who has never had a course in statistics (but who is familiar with mean, standard deviation, and Z scores).
Researchers conducted a study to determine whether magnets are effective in treating back pain. The results are shown in the table for the treatment (with magnets) group and the sham(or placebo) group. The results are a measure of reduction in back pain. Assume that the two samples are independent simple random samples selected from normally distributedpopulations, and do not assume that the population standard deviations are equal. Complete parts (a) and (b) below. Use a 0.05significance level for both parts. a. Test the claim that the two samples are from populations with the same mean. What are the null and alternative hypotheses? What is the test statistic, t? What is the P-value? State the conclusion for the test. b. Construct a confidence interval suitable for testing the claim that the two samples are from populations with the same mean.
2.41 Cost of breakfast. Sally gets a cup of co↵ee and a muffin every day for breakfast fromone of the many co↵ee shops in her neighborhood. She picks a co↵ee shop each morning at randomand independently of previous days. The average price of a cup of co↵ee is $1.40 with a standarddeviation of 30¢($0.30), the average price of a muffin is $2.50 with a standard deviation of 15¢,and the two prices are independent of each other.(a) What is the mean and standard deviation of the amount she spends on breakfast daily?(b) What is the mean and standard deviation of the amount she spends on breakfast weekly(7 days)?
Determine whether the finite correction factor should be used. If so, use it in your calculations when you find the probability. In a sample of 100 eruptions of the Old Faithful geyser at Yellowstone National Park, the mean interval between eruptions was 129.58 minutes and the standard deviation was 108.54 minutes. A random sample of size 40 is selected from this population. What is the probability that the mean interval between eruptions is between 119 minutes and 139 minutes? The probability that the mean interval between eruptions is between 119 minutes and 139 minutes is (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
Assume that hybridization experiments are conducted with peas having the property that for offspring, there is a 0.75probability that a pea has green pods. Assume that the offspring peas are randomly selected in groups of 36. Complete parts (a) through (c) below. a. Find the mean and the standard deviation for the numbers of peas with green pods in the groups of 36. The value of the mean is μ= peas.
Agricultural scientists are testing a new chicken feed to see whether it increases the number of eggs laid. The scientists divided a flock in half and gave half of the chickens the new feed, while the other half were given a regular feed. The eggs laid in a one-year period for a random sample of 10 chickens using the new feed and 10 chickens using the regular feed are recorded. Assume that the population standard deviation of number of eggs laid is 12 eggs per year for both groups and that the number of eggs laid per year is normally distributed. Let the chickens given the new feed be the first sample, and let the chickens given the regular feed be the second sample. The scientists conduct a two-mean hypothesis test at the 0.05 level of significance to test if there is evidence that the new feed increases the number of eggs laid. (a) Which answer choice shows the correct null and alternative hypotheses for this test? Select the correct answer below: H0:μ1=μ2;…
Suppose a university advertises that its average class size is 32 or less. A student organization is concerned that budget cuts have led to increased class sizes and would like to test this claim. A random sample of 40 classes was selected, and the average class size was found to be 35.7 students. Assume that the standard deviation for class size at the college is 8 students. Using a = 0.05, complete parts a and b below. a. Does the student organization have enough evidence to refute the college's claim? Determine the null and alternative hypotheses. Hou H₁: H

There are frogs and koi in a pond, and the number of frogs and the number of koi in the pond are independent. Let X represent the number of frogs in any given week, and let Y represent the number of koi in any given week.

Use the scores to compare the given values. Based on sample data, newborn males have weights with a mean of 3278.8 g and a standard deviation of 986.2 g. Newborn females have weights with a mean of 3026.9 g and a standard deviation of 549.2 g. Who has the weight that is more extreme relative to the group from which they came: a male who weighs 1500 g or a female who weighs 1500 g? Since the Z score for the male is Z =______ and the z score for the female is z=______, the _______ has the weight that is more extreme. (Round to two decimal places.)
