The results of a state mathematics test for random samples of students taught by two different teachers at the same school are shown below. Can you conclude there is a difference in the mean mathematics test scores for the students of the two teachers? Use α = 0.01. In addition, assume the populations are normally distributed and the population variances/standard deviations are not equal.

The ages of a group of 139 randomly selected adult females have a standard deviation of 17.2 years. Assume that the ages of female statistics students have less variation than ages of females in the general population, so let o = 17.2 years for the sample size calculation. How many female statistics student ages must be obtained in order to estimate the mean age of all female statistics students? Assume that we want 98% confidence that the sample mean is within one-half year of the population mean, The required sample size is (Type a whole number.)
An IQ test is designed so that the mean is 100 and the standard deviation is 13 for the population of normal adults. Find the sample size necessary to estimate the mean IQ score of statistics students such that it can be said with 95% confidence that the sample mean is within 6 IQ points of the true mean. Assume that o = 13 and determine the required sample size using technology. Then determine if this is a reasonable sample size for a real world calculation. ..... The required sample size is. (Round up to the nearest integer.)
The ages of a group of 153 randomly selected adult females have a standard deviation of 17.8 years. Assume that the ages of female statistics students have less variation than ages of females in the general population, so let o = 17.8 years for the sample size calculation. How many female statistics student ages must be obtained in order to estimate the mean age of all female statistics students? Assume that we want 98% confidence that the sample mean is within one-half year of the population mean. Does it seem reasonable to assume that the ages of female statistics students have less variation than ages of females in the general population? The required sample size is . (Round up to the nearest whole number as needed.)
An IQ test is designed so that the mean is 100 and the standard deviation is 23 for the population of normal adults. Find the sample size necessary to estimate the mean IQ score of statistics students such that it can be said with 90% confidence that the sample mean is within 8 IQ points of the true mean. Assume that o = 23 and determine the required sample size using technology. Then determine if this is a reasonable sample size for a real world calculation. The required sample size is (Round up to the nearest integer.)
The ages of a group of 134 randomly selected adult females have a standard deviation of 18.2 years. Assume that the ages of female statistics students have less variation than ages of females in the general population, so let o = 18.2 years for the sample size calculation. How many female statistics student ages must be obtained in order to estimate the mean age of all female statistics students? Assume that we want 98% confidence that the sample mean is within one-half year of the population mean. Does it seem reasonable to assume that the ages of female statistics students have less variation than ages of females in the general population? The required sample size is 7194 . (Round up to the nearest whole number as needed.) Does it seem reasonable to assume that the ages of female statistics students have less variation than ages of females in the general population? A. No, because there is no age difference between the population of statistics students and the general population. B.…
According to an article in Good Housekeeping, a 128-lb woman who walks for 30 minutes four times a week at a steady, four-mi/hr pace can lose up to 10 lbs over a span of a year. Suppose 35 women with weights between 125 and 130lb perform the four walks per week for a year and at the end of the year the average weight loss for the 35 was 9.1 lbs. If the sample standard deviation is 5, calculate the value of the test statistic and find the p-value of the hypothesis test of Ho:µ =10 vs H1:µ≠10.
