A population has a mean µ = 161 and a standard deviation o = 20. Find the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of sample means with sample size n = 56. The mean is = μx (Round to three decimal places as needed.) and the standard deviation is o- = X 3 X
In the year 2033, Sarai Patterson is a leading traveling nurse. Sarai is interested in reducing the mean recovery time for patients after experiencing a serious injury (assume recovery times are normally distributed). Suppose the mean recovery time is presently 8.6 months. Sarai takes a random sample of 46 patients that have experienced serious injury to participate in a new treatment program and finds the sample mean is 8.1 months and a sample standard deviation of 1.2 months. Using α = 0.05, answer the following questions. a) What is the setup for your null and alternative hypothesis? b) What is the value of the test statistic? c) What is/are the critical value(s)?
A random sample of n1 = 49 measurements from a population with population standard deviation ?1 = 3 had a sample mean of x1 = 9. An independent random sample of n2 = 64 measurements from a second population with population standard deviation ?2 = 4 had a sample mean of x2 = 11. Test the claim that the population means are different. Use level of significance 0.01.

Let S1^2 be the sampling variance for a random sample of twelve values (amount of mercury in the blood) and let S2^2 be the sampling variance for a random sample of ten values (amount of lead in the blood); samples from the same population were used. The population variance for mercury measurements is assumed to be twice the corresponding population variance for lead measurements. We will further assume that S1^2 is independent of S2^2. 1. Find a number b such that P [(S1^2/S2^2)<=b]=0.95 enter such a b to three decimal places b= 2. Consider the number b calculated above, find a number a such that P[a<=(S1^2/S2^2)<=b]=0.90 enter said a to three decimal places. a=
You believe that your morning commute to UCLA is decreasing every week. You record thetime of 7 commutes (one for each day of the week) (in minutes) for the a one-week block and thenthe following one-week block. * Calculations have been done for you: the sample mean difference is -1.714 and the sample standarddeviation is 2.984. Conduct a hypothesis test at the α = 0.15 level. The mean difference calculated as the the first one-week block minus the second one-week block. That is to say week one minus week two. a. Set up the null and alternative hypothesis (using mathematical notation/numbers and interpretthem in context of the problem) b. Calculate the test statistic for the test from part a
A population has a mean of 300 and a standard deviation of 40. Suppose a simple random sample of size 100 is selected and x¯ is used to estimate μ .What is the probability that the sample mean will be within +/- 5 of the population mean?
In the past, students in a particular course have achieved a mean Xmas test score of 72.6, with a standard deviation of 12.5. This year, 15 students in one section achieved a mean Xmas test score of 72.2, while 10 students in another section achieved a mean Xmas test score of 77.3. Is the overall (grand) mean of the 25 students in this year's two sections significantly different from the mean obtained in previous years (α ≤ .05)?
