Two chemical companies can supply a raw material. The concentration of a particular element in this material is important. The mean concentration for both suppliers is the same, but you suspect that the variability in concentration may differ for the two companies. The standard deviation of concentration in a random sample of n₁ = 10 batches produced by company 1 is s₁ = 4.7 grams per liter, and for company 2, a random sample of n2 = 16 batches yields s2 = 5.8 grams per liter. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the two population variances differ? Use a = 0.05.

Mason earned a score of 226 on Exam A that had a mean of 250 and a standard deviation of 40. He is about to take Exam B that has a mean of 550 and a standard deviation of 25. How well must Mason score on Exam B in order to do equivalently well as he did on Exam A? Assume that scores on each exam are normally distributed.
You have developed an exam to measure knowledge of biology and administered it to a large number of people. On this exam, u= 85 and o = 10. You standardize the distribution so that the new mean and standard deviation are u = 50 and o = 5 If someone takes the exam and receives a score of 73 (before the score is transformed), what will this score be once it is transformed for the new (standardized) distribution?
A diabetic person is interested in determining how the amount of aerobic exercise impacts his blood sugar. When blood sugar reaches 170 mg/dl, he goes out for a run at a pace of 10 minutes per mile. On different days, he runs different distances and measures his blood sugar after completing his run. The preferred blood sugar level is in the range of 80 to120 mg/dl. Levels that are too low or too high are extremely dangerous. The data generated are given in the following table: Distance (miles),x Blood sugar(mg/dl gram),y 2 136 2 146 2.5 131 2.5 125 3 120 3 116 3.5 104 3.5 95 4 85 4 94 4.5 83 4.5 75 Based on the scenario above, analyse the data with appropriate statistical methods and describe your findings in details. Use alpha=0.05 [note: use hypothesis, test statistics confidence interval etc.] ]
I have asked this question twice and both times it has been wrong. Answer given F=.82 and .77 both these are incorrect. A bakery is considering buying one of two gas ovens. The bakery requires that the temperature remain constant during a baking operation. A study was conducted to measure the variance in temperature of the ovens during the baking process. The variance in temperature before the thermostat restarted the flame for the Monarch oven was 3.3 for 22 measurements. The variance for the Kraft oven was 4 for 25 measurements. Does this information provide sufficient reason to conclude that there is a difference in the variances for the two ovens? Assume measurements are normally distributed and use a 0.02 level of significance.
Jeremiah earned a score of 530 on Exam A that had a mean of 450 and a standard deviation of 40. He is about to take Exam B that has a mean of 63 and a standard deviation of 20. How well must Jeremiah score on Exam B in order to do equivalently well as he did on Exam A? Assume that scores on each exam are normally distributed.

Our environment is very sensitive to the amount of ozone in the upper atmosphere. The level of ozone normally found is 7.9 parts/million (ppm). A researcher believes that the current ozone level is at an excess level. The mean of 24 samples is 8.1 ppm with a variance of 0.25. Does the data support the claim at the 0.1 level? Assume the population distribution is approximately normal. Step 5 of 5: Make the decision to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis.
Two chemical companies can supply a raw material. The concentration of a particular element in this material is important. The mean concentration for both suppliers is the same, but you suspect that the variability in concentration may differ for the two companies. The standard deviation of concentration in a random sample of n₁ = 10 batches produced by company 1 is s₁ = 4.7 grams per liter, and for company 2, a random sample of n₂ = 16 batches yield s₂ = 5.8 grams per liter. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the two populations variances differ? Use a = 0.05. a. Because 0.321 < 0.657 <3.77, fail to reject the null hypothesis b. Because 0.265 < 0.657 <3.12, fail to reject the null hypothesis c. Because 0.386 < 0.657 <3.01, fail to reject the null hypothesis d. None among the choices
The director of research and development is testing a new drug. She wants to know if there is evidence at the 0.02 level that the drug stays in the system for more than 312 minutes. For a sample of 69 patients, the mean time the drug stayed in the system was 319 minutes. Assume the variance is known to be 400. Step 2 of 5 : Enter the value of the z test statistic. Round your answer to two decimal places.
