Answer to Problem 25.1CRE

The individuals are the elderly patients with PAD,the response variables are the maximum walking distance and the two treatments, matched pairs t test inference procedure is used to test them and the hypotheses is:

  H0:μDM=0Ha:μDM>0

Explanation of Solution

In the question, it is given that they study compared the maximum walking distance for twenty such patients once they ate forty gram of dark chocolate and once they ate forty gram of milk chocolate. The milk and dark chocolate conditions were administered on two different weeks chosen random for each patient. Thus, by looking at the study we can say that the individuals are the elderly patients with PAD on which experiments were done and the response variables are the maximum walking distance of the patients and the two treatments of milk and dark chocolate on them. Since the two treatments were compared so we have the null and alternative hypotheses as:

  H0:μDM=0Ha:μDM>0

Where D represents the dark chocolate and M represents the milk chocolate. And we would consider matched pairs t test inference procedure to test them as we are comparing the result of the two treatments of the patients.

The battery temperatures are a major concern for us. Can you analyze and describe the sample data? What are the average and median temperatures? How much variability is there in the temperatures? Is there anything that stands out? Our engineers’ assumption is that the temperature data is normally distributed. If that is the case, what would be the likelihood that the Safety Zone temperature will exceed 5.15 degrees? What is the probability that the Safety Zone temperature will be less than 4.65 degrees? What is the actual percentage of samples that exceed 5.25 degrees or are less than 4.75 degrees? Is the manufacturing process producing units with stable Safety Zone temperatures? Can you check if there are any apparent changes in the temperature pattern? Are there any outliers? A closer look at the Z-scores should help you in this regard.
Need help please
Please conduct a step by step of these statistical tests on separate sheets of Microsoft Excel. If the calculations in Microsoft Excel are incorrect, the null and alternative hypotheses, as well as the conclusions drawn from them, will be meaningless and will not receive any points. 4. One-Way ANOVA: Analyze the customer satisfaction scores across four different product categories to determine if there is a significant difference in means.  (Hints: The null can be about maintaining status-quo or no difference among groups)   H0 =   H1=
