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.

Two brands of batteries are tested, and their voltages are compared. The summary statistics follow. For sample 1, the sample size is 27; the population standard deviation is 0.3 volts and the mean is 9.2 volts. For sample 2, the sample size is 30; the population standard deviation is 0.1 volts and the mean is 8.8 volts. Is the mean of sample 1 smaller than the mean of sample 2? Using a significance level of 0.05. a) Identify the claim and state the hypotheses. b) What is the test statistics? Find the critical values (s). c) Make the decision to reject or not reject the null hypothesis and explain why. d) Graph your decision and include all the values. That is, the mean, the standard deviation, the critical value(s), the rejection region. e) Set up the formula with the correct numbers for the 95% confidence interval of the mean number of jobs.
1. The fuel efficiency of a new model pick-up truck (truck) is measured in miles per gallon (mpg). A company claims that their new truck gets 25 mpg on average. A consumer group thinks the company is lying and claims that the mean mileage for all the trucks is less than 25 mpg. In a random sample, of forty-five of these trucks the mean mpg was 23.3 mpg with a standard deviation of 5.1 mpg. a. Conduct a hypothesis test to test the consumer group's claim at the 5% significance level. Be sure to state you Ho and Ha, your test statistic and p- value, whether or not you reject Ho and whether you support the claim. b. Write a complete sentence describing what a Type I error is in context. c. Write a complete sentence describing what a Type II error is in context.
Insurance Company A claims that its customers pay less for car insurance, on average, than customers of its competitor, Company B. You wonder if this is true, so you decide to compare the average monthly costs of similar insurance policies from the two companies. For a random sample of 13 people who buy insurance from Company A, the mean cost is $150 per month with a standard deviation of $19. For 9 randomly selected customers of Company B, you find that they pay a mean of $157 per month with a standard deviation of $16. Assume that both populations are approximately normal and that the population variances are equal to test Company A's claim at the 0.05 level of significance. Let customers of Company A be Population 1 and let customers of Company B be Population 2. Step 1 of 3: State the null and alternative hypotheses for the test. Fill in the blank below. Ho: M₁ = μ₂ Ha:M₁ •H₂
You were told that the mean daily cost of a hotel room in downtown St. Louis is $120. You will be needing to rent a hotel room there in the near future and you want to find the best rate. You randomly select a sample of 18 hotel rooms and find that the average cost is $121.33 with a standard deviation of $18.046. At the α = 0.05 significance level, determine if there is enough evidence to reject the claim. What is the decision for this hypothesis test? You were told that the mean daily cost of a hotel room in downtown St. Louis is $120. You will be needing to rent a hotel room there in the near future and you want to find the best rate.

Insurance Company A claims that its customers pay less for car insurance, on average, than customers of its competitor, Company B. You wonder if this is true, so you decide to compare the average monthly costs of similar insurance policies from the two companies. For a random sample of 15 people who buy insurance from Company A, the mean cost is $154 per month with a standard deviation of $13. For 11 randomly selected customers of Company B, you find that they pay a mean of $159 per month with a standard deviation of $16. Assume that both populations are approximately normal and that the population variances are equal to test Company A’s claim at the 0.02 level of significance. Let customers of Company A be Population 1 and let customers of Company B be Population 2. Step 2 of 3 : Compute the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to three decimal places.
Choose the appropriate statistical test. When computing, be sure to round each answer as indicated. A dentist wonders if depression affects ratings of tooth pain. In the general population, using a scale of 1-10 with higher values indicating more pain, the average pain rating for patients with toothaches is 6.8. A sample of 30 patients that show high levels of depression have an average pain rating of 7.1 (variance 0.8). What should the dentist determine? 1. Calculate the estimated standard error. (round to 3 decimals). [st.error] 2. What is thet-obtained? (round to 3 decimals). 3. What is the t-cv? (exact value) 4. What is your conclusion? Only type "Reject" or Retain"
Insurance Company A claims that its customers pay less for car insurance, on average, than customers of its competitor, Company B. You wonder if this is true, so you decide to compare the average monthly costs of similar insurance policies from the two companies. For a random sample of 1313 people who buy insurance from Company A, the mean cost is $151$⁢151 per month with a standard deviation of $16$⁢16. For 99 randomly selected customers of Company B, you find that they pay a mean of $158$⁢158 per month with a standard deviation of $19$⁢19. Assume that both populations are approximately normal and that the population variances are equal to test Company A’s claim at the 0.050.05 level of significance. Let customers of Company A be Population 1 and let customers of Company B be Population 2. Step 2 of 3: Compute the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to three decimal places.
You conduct a between-subjects ANOVA investigating whether different states produce tastier cheeses. You find that eta-squared is .50. What does this tell you? a. The effect size is small. b. 50% of the total variance in tastiness is due to differences between the states. c. The difference between the group means is .50 standard deviations. d. All of the above
In a study of birth order and intelligence, IQ tests were given to 18- and 19-year-old men to estimate the size of the difference, if any, between the mean IQs of firstborn sons and secondborn sons. The following data for 10 firstborn sons and 10 secondborn sons are consistent with the means and standard deviations reported in the article. It is reasonable to assume that the samples come from populations that are approximately normal. Can you conclude that the mean IQ of firstborn sons is greater than the mean IQ of secondborn sons? Let μ1 denote the mean IQ of firstborn sons and μ2 denote the mean IQ of secondborn sons. Use the α = 0.01 level and the P-value method with the table.

A researcher is conducting a study to determine the mean trough dosage of medication for a population. Assume a previous study was conducted for the same medication and the mean trough dose was found to be 490 mg with a standard deviation of 30 mg. If the researcher wants to be 95% confident the true mean trough dosage of the medication is within 10 mg of the true mean trough dosage, what sample size is needed if the study is predicted to have an 76% retention rate? n = 50 n = 71 n = 47 n = 104
