- A random sample of n1 = 20 winter days in Denver gave a sample mean pollution index x1 = 43. Previous studies show that ?1 = 11. For Englewood (a suburb of Denver), a random sample of n2 = 18 winter days gave a sample mean pollution index of x2 = 36. Previous studies show that ?2 = 15. Assume the pollution index is normally distributed in both Englewood and Denver. Do these data indicate that the mean population pollution index of Englewood is different (either way) from that of Denver in the winter? Use a 1% level of significance. a) What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Test the difference ?1 − ?2. Round your answer to two decimal places.)b) Find (or estimate) the P-value.

A study of class lengths at two schools was done using independent samples. 31 classes were chosen from each. The first school had a mean length of 50.1 minutes and a standard deviation of 1.6 minutes. The second school had a mean length of 48.9 and a standard deviation of 2.2 minutes.

Use a 1% level of significance. what is the sample test statistic find or estimate p valuearrow_forwardFor data that is not normally distributed we can't use z-scores. However, there is an equation that works on any distribution. It's called Chebyshev's formula. The formula is where P=1- 1/k2 p is the minimum percentage of scores that fall within kk standard deviations on both sides of the mean. Use this formula to answer the following questions. b) If you have scores that are normally distributed, find the percentage of scores that fall within 3.3 standard deviations on both sides of the mean? c) If you have scores and you don't know if they are normally distributed, how many standard deviations on both sides of the mean do we need to go to have 35 percent of the scores? Note: To answer part c you will need to solve the equation for k.k.

Another random sample of 8 wolf litters in Finland gave an average of x2 = 2.8 wolf pups per litter with sample standard deviation s2 = 1.3. Note: For degrees of freedom d.f. not in the Student's t table, use the closest d.f. that is smaller. In some cases, this choice will increase the P-value by a small amount or increase the length of the confidence interval, thereby making the answer slightly more "conservative."
