An experiment was conducted to a sample of nine gold fish and ten clown fish to determine if there is a significant difference in the average number of days that the fish can survive without food inside the aquarium. The gold fish averaged 11 days with a standard deviation of 2 days while the clown fish averaged 12 days with a standard deviation of 3 days. What is the appropriate alternative hypothesis?
Medical researchers are interested in determining the relative effectiveness of two drug treatments on patients with a chronic mental illness. Treatment 1 has been around for many years, while treatment 2 has recently been developed based on the latest research. The researchers chose two independent test groups. The first group had 9 patients, all of whom received treatment and had a mean time until remission of 166 days, with a standard deviation of 8 days. The second group had 15 patients, all of whom received treatment 2 and had a mean time until remission of 161 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. Can we conclude, at the 0.05 level of significance, that u, the mean number of days until remission after treatment 1, is greater than u,, the mean number of days until remission after treatment 2? Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts…
Two machines are used to fill plastic bottles with dishwashing detergent. The standard deviations of fill volume are known to be o, = 0.10 fluid ounces and o, = 0.15 fluid ounces for the two machines, respectively. Two random samples of n1 =12 bottles from machine 1 and n2 = 10 bottles from machine 2 are selected, and the sample mean fill volumes are I, = 30.87 fluid ounces and = 30.68 fluid ounces. Assume normality and use a = 0.05. Find the value of (a) zo and (b) P-value. а. none O b. zo = 3.24, P-value = 0.0036 z0 = 2.34, p-value = 0.0006 Oc. O d. zo = 3.42, p-value = 0.0003 %3D
Bone mineral density (BMD) is a measure of bone strength. Studies show that BMD declines after age 45. The impact of exercise may increase BMD. A random sample of 59 women between the ages of 41 and 45 with no major health problems were studied. The women were classified into one of two groups based upon their level of exercise activity: walking women and sedentary women. The 39 women who walked regularly had a mean BMD of 5.96 with a standard deviation of 1.22. The 20 women who are sedentary had a mean BMD of 4.41 with a standard deviation of 1.02. Which of the following inference procedures could be used to estimate the difference in the mean BMD for these two types of women
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…
A simple random sample of 95 basketball players is taken from different teams and their mean weight is found to be 226 pounds and the standard deviation of the population is 20 pounds. Using 0.05 level of significance , test the claim that the average weight for all basketball players is 231 pounds.
The Ankle Brachial Index (ABI) compares the blood pressure of a patient's arm to the blood pressure of the patient's leg. A healthy ABI is 0.9 or greater. In a study, researchers obtained the ABI of 187 women with arterial disease. The results were a mean ABI of 0.86 with a standard deviation of 0.16. At the 1% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that, on average, women with arterial disease have an unhealthy ABI? Set up the hypotheses for the one-mean t-test.

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 research shows that the average time an adult spends on social media is 27 hours a week. A survey consisting of 20 randomly selected teenagers were asked of their average time spent on social media a week to prove a claim that these teenagers actually spend time more than adults. It was found that the teenagers' average time is 30 hours with a standard deviation of 3.47 hours. Test the claim that teenagers spend more hours on social media than adults at 5% alpha level. What kind of test will we use (z or t)? Blank 1 Is this a one-tailed or two-tailed test? Blank 2 What is the test statistic? Blank 3 Accept or Reject the null hypothesis?

A researcher is comparing the amount of calories in two different lunch special pizzas: Hawaiian and pepperoni. Random samples of 30 Hawaiian and 30 pepperoni are taken. The mean amount of calories in the Hawaiian pizza was 800 calories with a standard deviation of 50 calories and the mean amount of calories in the pepperoni pizza was 1000 with a standard deviation of 100 calories. The population standard deviations are unknown but considered to be equal. What is the 99% confidence interval for the difference between the two population means? O Confidence Interval - (800- - 1000) ± 2.576₁ (50)² 30 Confidence Interval= (800-1000) + (2.663) (79.06, Confidence Interval=(800-1000) ± 2.663, (50) 30 Confidence Interval= (800-1000) + (2.576) (79.06. + (100)² 30 1 1 30 30 + (100)² 30 1 1 30 30 + )
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.
