A sample of 15 batches was prepared using catalyst 1 and gave an average yield of 75 with a sample standard deviation of 4.

An experiment is assessing the effect of exercise regimen on cholesterol level decrease. A random sample of 45 individuals is selected, and their cholesterol decrease after following the regimen is recorded. These decreases are assumed to be normally distributed with a known variance of 20. The sample mean decrease is found to be 30 units. Calculate the 99% confidence interval for the average cholesterol decrease of all individuals on this regimen.
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 12 processing times from computer 1 showed a mean of 67 seconds with a standard deviation of 20 seconds, while a random sample of 11 processing times from computer 2 (chosen independently of those for computer 1) showed a mean of 70 seconds with a standard deviation of 16 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 90% confidence interval for the difference u, -4, between the mean processing time of computer 1, µ,, and the mean processing time of computer 2, µ„. Then find the lower limit and upper limit of the 90% confidence interval. Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places. Round your responses to at least two decimal places.

A manufacturer of office machines is considering the production of a new word processor. The decision to start large-scale production of the new machines will be based on the comparison of the mean operating speed using the standard machines (µx) and the mean operating speed using the new machines (µy). Since operators of the machine have varying abilities, a random sample of 20 typists was selected and the speed of each typist in the sample was observed once using the new word processor and once using the standard word processor. The collected data on the speed (in minutes) are as follows: Typist (i) Standard Processor (Xi) 1 2 3 4 5 6. 8 10 60.2 58.7 59.4 60.3 61.7 60.2 64.1 63.2 62.4 57.8 New Processor (Yi) 57.2 57.4 56.4 58.5 60.1 61.4 61.9 60.4 60 56.8 Typist (i) Standard Processor (Xi) 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 55.4 61.2 64.7 64.1 62.9 65.8 69.3 56.4 58.5 63.7 New Processor (Yi) 50.2 58.4 63.5 60.5 62.2 66.3 68.5 56.6 58.3 60.2 Assuming normality, compute a 95% confidence…
The attached table gives the peak power load for a power plant and the daily high temperature for a random sample of 10 days. (a) Test the hypothesis that the population correlation coefficient between peak power load and high temperature is zero versus the alternative that it is positive. Use = 0:05. (b) What is the minimum absolute value of the sample correlation coefficient that will make the model signicant at 5% level? (c) Find a 98% condence and prediction interval for high temperature of 95. (d) For what value of high temperature the condence interval will be shortest.
An engineer has designed a valve that will regulate water pressure on an automobile engine. The valve was tested on 260 engines and the mean pressure was 4 lbs/square inch. Assume the variance is known to be 0.64. If the valve was designed to produce a mean pressure of 4.1 lbs/square inch, is there sufficient evidence at the 0.02 level that the valve does not perform to the specifications? State the null and alternative hypotheses for the above scenario.
Are juvenile defendants who are released pending adjudication processed more slowly than those who are detained? The JDCC data set records whether a juvenile was released and the number of months it took for that juvenile’s case to reach a disposition. The sample will be narrowed to black female youth. Released juveniles (Sample 1) had a mean of 4.30 months to disposition (s = 3.86, N = 123) and detained juveniles (Sample 2) had a mean of 3.57 (s = 4.20, N = 64). Using an alpha level of .01, test the hypothesis that released juveniles’ mean time-to-adjudication is significantly greater than detained juveniles’ mean. Assume equal population variances. Use all five steps.
A carpenter is making doors that are 2058 millimeters tall. If the doors are too long they must be trimmed, and if they are too short they cannot be used. A sample of 61 doors is made, and it is found that they have a mean of 2044 millimeters with a variance of 729. Is there evidence at the 0.05 level that the doors are either too long or too short? State the null and alternative hypotheses for the above scenario.
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.

For the general population, the average fatigue level is μ = 50. A researcher is testing the hypothesis that engaging a meditation exercise reduces employee fatigue. A sample of n = 30 participants is obtained, and each participant engaged in a meditation exercise for 20 minutes at work each workday for a month. This sample’s average fatigue level was M = 46 with a sample variance of 100 after the month. Please write out the four steps for this hypothesis test assuming an alpha level of .05. Step 1: State your hypotheses Step 2: Find your critical regions in a distribution Step 3: Data Analysis Step 4: Making a decision
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.
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.)
