Chapter 11.7, Problem 35E
A researcher who is in charge of an educational study »ants subjects to perform some special skill. Fearing that people who are unusually talented or unusually untalented could distort the results, he decides to use people who scored in the middle 50% on a certain test. If the mean for the population is 100 and the standard deviation is 15, find the two limits (upper and lower) for the scores that would enable a volunteer to participate in the study. Assume the scores are

- I wanted to test if the mean Exam 3 score in this course was different than the mean Exam 2 score. To conduct this test I used the 30 students in my course last semester as my sample. I first calculated the difference in scores between Exam 2 and Exam 3 ("Exam 2 score - Exam 3 score"). The sample mean of these differences is 2.0 and the sample standard deviation of the differences is 3.0. What is the null hypothesis of this test? Group of answer choices The mean difference between exam scores is not equal to 0 The mean difference between exam scores is not equal to 2.0 The mean difference between exam scores is equal to 2.0 The mean difference between exam scores is equal to 0arrow_forwardLength of Stay ~ Health insurers and federal government are both putting pressure on hospitals to shorten the average length of stay (LOS) of their patients. The average LOS for women is 4.55 days according to Statistical Abstract of the United States: 2005. A first study conducted on a random sample of 25 hospitals in Michigan had a mean LOS for women of 3.8 days and a standard deviation of 1.15 days. A medical researcher wants to determine if the mean LOS for women in Michigan is less than 4.55 days. The null and alternative hypothesis are given by Ho : µ = 4.55 vs HA : µ < 4.55. What is the estimated effect size d? Give your answer to 4 decimal places.

- Avalanches can be a real problem for travelers in the western United States and Canada. Slab avalanches studied in Canada had an average thickness of u = 67 cm. A sample of 31 avalanches in the U.S. gave a sample mean of = 63.0 cm. It is known that o = 10.3 cm for this type of data. Use a 0.03 level of significance to test the claim that the mean slab thickness of avalanches in the United States is different from that in Canada. Use the P-Value Approach.

A researcher at the USDA would like to determine if the average amount of ice cream consumed each year by a typical American has changed since the original report was published. The researcher collected data from a random sample of 65 Americans and found that the mean amount of ice cream consumed each year by the sample was 25.54 pounds with a standard deviation of 1.64 pounds. Using α=0.02, test the hypothesis that the mean amount of ice cream consumed each year by a typical American is different than 26 pounds. Use the p-value method. State the null and alternative hypothesis for this test. H0= H1= Determine the test statistic for the hypothesis test.

GMAT scores are used as part of the admissions process for more than 6000 graduate management programs worldwide. The mean sore for all test takers is 563, with a standard deviation of 118. O Macmillan Learning A researcher in the Philippines is concerned about the performance of undergraduates in the Philippines on the GMAT. She believes that the mean scores for this year's college seniors in the Philippines who are interested in pursuing graduate management education will be less than 563. She has a random sample of 250 college seniors in the Philippines interested in pursuing graduate management education that take the GMAT. Suppose we know that GMAT scores are Normally distributed with standard deviation o = 118. The null and alternative hypotheses are Ho: μ = 563 versus H₁: µ< 563.
