- Can the standard deviation of a data set be zero?arrow_forwardA survey found that women's heights are normally distributed with a mean62.2in. and standard deviation2.7in. The survey also found that men's heights are normally distributed with a mean 67.3in. and standard deviation 3.1in. Most of the live characters employed at an amusement park have height requirements of a minimum of 56in. and a maximum of 62in. A)Find the percentage of men meeting the height requirement. What does the result suggest about the genders of the people who are employed as characters at the amusement park? B) If the height requirements are changed to exclude only the tallest 50% of men and the shortest 5% of men, what are the new height requirements?arrow_forwardIn a study entitled How Undergraduate Students Use Credit Cards, Sallie Mae reported that undergraduate students have a mean credit card balance of $3357. This figure was an all-time high and had increased 42% over the previous five years. Assume that a current study is being conducted to determine if it can be concluded that the mean credit card balance for undergraduate students has continued to increase compared to the April 2009 report. Based on previous studies, use a population standard deviation = $1400arrow_forward
- The mean and standard deviation of hemoglobin level of 23 vibrant students and 21 school children were found to be 10g/dl,2.2g/dl and 14g/dl, 2.2g/dl respectively.is there statistically significant difference with the average hemoglobin of the two groups?arrow_forwardIn a study of inter spousal aggression and its possible effect on child behavior, the Behavior Problem Checklist (BPC) scores were recorded for 47 children and whose parents were classified as aggressive. The sample mean and standard deviation were 7.92 and 3.45, respectively. For a sample of 38 children whose parents were classified as non-aggressive, the mean and standard deviation of the BPC scores were 5.80 and 2.87, respectively. Do these observations substantiate the conjecture that the children of aggressive families have lower mean BPC than those of non- aggressive families? Use a significance level of 0.05.arrow_forwardIn a study entitled How Undergraduate Students Use Credit Cards, it was reported that undergraduate students have a mean credit card balance of $3,173. This figure was an all-time high and had increased 44% over the previous five years. Assume that a current study is being conducted to determine if it can be concluded that the mean credit card balance for undergraduate students has continued to increase compared to the original report.

- A) Explain the sources of variability in one-way between-subjects ANOVA (i.e., independent-measures ANOVA) and one-way within-subjects ANOVA (i.e., repeated-measures ANOVA), respectively. B) Explain the fundamental difference between one-way between-subject ANOVA and one-way repeated-measure ANOVA. C) Why does repeated measure ANOVA have larger power than between-subject ANOVA?arrow_forwardIn a psychology journal, researchers reported that a chief executive officer's facial structure can be used to predict a firm's financial performance. The study involved measuring the facial width-to-height ratio (WHR) for each in a sample of 69 CEOS at publicly traded Fortune 500 firms. These WHR values (determined by computer analyzing a photo of the CEO's face) had a mean of x= 2.03 and a standard deviation of s = 0.17. Use this information to complete parts a and b below. a. Find and interpret a 90% confidence interval for u, the mean facial WHR for all CEOS at publicly traded Fortune 500 firms. (Round to three decimal places as needed.) O A. The 90% confidence interval for mean facial WHR indicates that the true mean facial WHR for all CEOS at publicly traded Fortune 500 firms is between and with 90% confidence. O B. The 90% confidence interval for mean facial WHR indicates that the true mean facial WHR for the CEOS in the sample is between and with 90% confidence. O C. The 90%…arrow_forwardAccording to a J.D. Power report, the average monthly cell phone bill for an individual was $70.60 in 2015. With new cell phone companies and new, no-contract plans from existing companies, it has been hypothesized that the mean cell phone bill could decrease. Assume the population of all monthly cell phone bills is left skewed with a standard deviation of $28.670. a) What conjecture has been made? The mean monthly cell phone bill has decreased from $70.60. The mean monthly cell phone bill has increased from $70.60. The mean monthly cell phone bill is $70.60. b) Completely describe the sampling distribution of the sample mean monthly bill when samples of size 81 are selected.

- Industrial light bulbs should have a mean life length acceptable to potential users and a relatively small variation in life length. If some bulbs fail too early in their life, users become annoyed and are likely to switch to bulbs produced by a different manufacturer. Large variations above the mean reduce replacement sales; in general, variation in life lengths disrupts the user’s replacement schedules. A random sample of 20 bulbs produced by a particular manufacturer produced the following lengths of life (in hours):2100, 2302, 1951, 2067, 2415, 1883, 2101, 2146, 2278, 2019, 1924, 2183, 2077, 2392, 2286, 2501, 1946, 2161, 2253, 1827.(a) Find a 99% confidence interval for the standard deviation of the lengths of life for the bulbs produced by this manufacturer.

Sswithin and sstotalarrow_forwardFunctionally important traits in animals tend to vary little from one individual to the next within populations, possibly because individuals who deviate too much from the mean have lower fitness. If this is the case, does variance in a trait rise after it becomes less functionally important? Billet et al. (2012) investigated this question with the semicircular canals (SC) of the three-toed sloth (Bradypus variegatus). The authors proposed that since sloths don't move their heads much, the functional importance of SC is reduced, and may vary more than it does in more active animals. They obtained the following measurements of the ratio of the length to width of the anterior SC in 7 sloths. Assume this represents a random sample. In other, more active animals, the standard deviation of this ratio is 0.09. Sloth CW Ratios 1.53 1.06 0.93 1.38 1.47 1.2 1.16 Fill in the blank for a with the estimate of the standard deviation of this measurement in three-toed sloths to two decimals, and…arrow_forward
