- A researcher wanted to compare that activity of pet dogs living in the city and pet dogs living in the suburbs. To test that, he collected a sample of 21 dogs from the city and 21 dogs from the suburbs and measured how long they were active on a random day (in minutes). The mean activity time for the city dogs’ sample was M1 = 116 with a variance of S12 = 400. For the suburb dogs’ sample, the mean was M2 = 150 with a variance of S22 = 625.a.

- The data below is from a random sample of married women drawn from the population of an urban area in a less-developed country. This data has two variables; 'a' is the age at which each woman was married for the first time, 'b’ is whether or not at least one of their parents had a secondary or higher education (0=no, 1=yes). 1) Estimate the sample mean, variance, standard deviation, and standard error for age at first marriage for the entire population. Calculate the 95% confidence interval around this estimate and interpret. 2) Repeat the analysis from 1) above for each parental education group (*b’) separately. Do the confidence intervals overlap? 3) We hypothesize that children of more educated parents will marry later than children of less well educated parents. Perform a two-sample t-test of this hypothesis, using the folowing formula (the standard error for a two sample t-test combines the standard errors of each group) and interpret your result.

In an area, 45 rescued and cured female eagles are set free.

The company selected 15 subjects from a population. Each subject was randomly assigned to one of three treatment groups equally (i.e. each group consists of five subjects): Group 1 (10mg/day), Group 2 (50mg/day) and Group 3 (100mg/day). After 30 days, doctors measured the blood pressure of each subject. Summary of Analysis of Variance table is shown in Table 3.

- 2. The average zone of inhibition (in mm) for mouthwash L as tested by the medical technology students has been known to be 9mm. A random sample of 10 mouthwash L was tested and the test yielded an average zone of inhibition of 7.5mm with a variance of 25 mm. Is there enough reason to believe that the anti-bacterial property of the mouthwash has decreased? Test the hypothesis that the average zone of inhibition of the mouthwash is no less than 9mm using 0.05 level of significance. A. State the hypotheses. B. Determine the test statistic to use. C. Determine the level of significance, critical value, and the decision rule. D. Compute the value of the test statistic. E. Make a decision. F.
