You wish to test the claim that Washington residents (Group 2) have a higher average monthly bill for their health insurance than Idaho residents (Group 1) at a significance level of a=0.02. Ho: H1- H2 =0 Ha: H1 - H2 < 0 You believe both populations are normally distributed, but you do not know the standard deviations for either or that they have the same standard deviation. You obtain a sample of size 21 with a mean of 87.6 and a standard deviation of 9.5 from the Idaho residents. You obtain a sample of size 13 with a mean of 97.5 and a standard deviation of 10.5 from the Washington residents.

A researcher takes sample temperatures in Fahrenheit of 17 days from New York City and 18 days from Phoenix. Test the claim that the mean temperature in New York City is different from the mean temperature in Phoenix. Use a significance level of α=0.05. Assume the populations are approximately normally distributed with unequal variances. You obtain the following two samples of data. New York City Phoenix 99 94.2 95.5 72 93.2 86.8 102 122.1 85.4 114.4 80 94.7 86.4 89.7 75.4 104.7 79.5 77.6 83.4 106.8 64.3 98.6 65.5 91.5 87.7 82 104 97.7 74.3 64.9 59.5 82 82.8 72 116.2 The Hypotheses for this problem are: H0: μ1 = μ2 H1: μ1μ2 Find the p-value.

A study has been made to compare the nicotine contents of two brands of cigarettes. Ten cigarettes of Brand A had an average nicotine content of 4.3 milligrams with a standard deviation of 0.6 milligram. Eight cigarettes of Brand B had an average nicotine content of 3 milligrams with a standard deviation of 0.4 milligram. Assume that the two sets of data are independent random samples from normal populations with equal variances. Answer the following, and round off your answer to three decimal places. (a) Find a pooled estimate of the population standard deviation. (b) Construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference between the mean nicotine contents of the two brands of cigarettes. (☐☐)

Gestation period is the length of pregnancy, or to be more precise, the interval between fertilization and birth. In Syrian hamsters, the average gestation period is 16 days. Suppose you have a sample of 31 Syrian hamsters who were exposed to high levels of the hormone progesterone when they were pups, and who have an average gestation length of 17.1 days and a sample variance of 26.0 days. You want to test the hypothesis that Syrian hamsters who were exposed to high levels of the hormone progesterone when they were pups have a different gestation length than all Syrian hamsters. Calculate the t statistic. To do this, you first need to calculate the estimated standard error. The estimated standard error is sMM= a. 31, b. 0.5232, c. 0.7328, d. 0.9158. The t statistic is- a. 1.50, b. 2.10, c. 2.63, d. 1.20 Now suppose you have a larger sample size n = 95. Calculate the estimated standard error and the t statistic for this sample with the same sample average and the same…

An intercity bus company is attempting to improve the reliability of its service. One manager claims that the variability (i.e., standard deviation) in arrivals from the posted schedule at the central bus depot is approximately 3 minutes. Another manager disagrees, suspecting that the spread in times of arrival is different. Using variance, what is the population parameter under consideration? What hypotheses should the managers test in this situation?
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.
