Students have asked these similar questions
The average age for menopause for women in the UK is 51.21 years. A pharmaceutical
company wants to test a new medication to see if it has any effect on the average age of
menopause. A random sample of 400 participants who have taken the medication has a
mean of 56.45 and standard deviation of 12.6. Did the medication affect menopause?
You can use the z-table supplied below.
a)
ull and alternative hypotheses.
b)
Calculate the Z score which is required to achieve a confidence level of 95% for a Normal Z
ution.
At a 95% confidence level, is there enough evidence to support that the medicine works with
a significant effect? Express what null and alternative hypothesis are here. You must show
your calculation, draw the Z-normal curve and indicate where value of the Z must lie to
accept or reject the null hypotheses.
Q.3. Explain the relationship between the Poisson and exponential distribution.
I. (5 points) Use R basic operations and built-in functions covered in the class to answer the following
question.
A college student Ava is interested in comparing the characteristics of two groups. As a data collection, two
independent samples are randomly selected. The dataset below is listed as a R command format so that you
may copy it and paste in R. The preliminary research indicated that their populations are normally
distributed.
data1 = c(9.1, 3.6, 5.3, 5.9, 7.0, 8.5, 10.7, 11.8, 13.9, 16.6, 17.9, 10.1)
data2 = c(19.8, 10.4, 13.3, 16.1, 17.9, 18.4, 19.6, 20.9, 21.9, 23.8, 25.5)
As one of inferences, test hypothesis that the variability of datal is greater than that of data2. Use 5% level
of significance to perform five steps procedure covered in the lecture.
