A certain counselor wants to compare mean IQ scores for two different social groups. A random sample of
15
IQ scores from group
1
showed a mean of
117
and a standard deviation of
17
, while an independently chosen random sample of
9
IQ scores from group
2
showed a mean of
112
and a standard deviation of
15
. Assuming that the populations of IQ scores are normally distributed for each of the groups and that the variances of these populations are equal, construct a
90%
confidence intervalfor the difference
−μ1μ2
between the mean
μ1
of IQ scores of group
1
and the mean
μ2
of IQ scores of group
2
. Then find the lower limit and upper limit of the
90%
confidence interval.
Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places. Round your responses to at least two decimal places. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.)
You are studying whether CSUB's graduate students are more likely to be parents or
more likely to not be parents. There is no specific estimation of these percentages
available, so you figure they are equally likely. Using this table's data, what is the chi
square-obtained value for your sample?
Parenting status among CSUB graduate students
Are parents
f,=188
Are not parents
f.=162
f=175
f=175
k=2
N=350
The mean and variance of a random
sample of 64 observations were computed
as 160 and 100 respectively.
(i) Compute the 95% confidence limits for
population mean.
(ii) If the investigator wants to be 95%
confident that the error in estimate of
population mean should not exceed ± 1.4,
how many additional observations are
required?

- Two companies manufacture a rubber material in- tended for use in an automotive application. The part will be subjected to abrasive wear in the field application, so we decide to compare the material produced by each company in a test. Twenty-five samples of material from each company are tested in an abrasion test, and the amount of wear after 1000 cycles is observed. For company 1, the sample mean and standard de- viation of wear are = 20 milligrams/1000 cycles and s = 2 milligrams/1000 cycles, while for company 2 we obtain = 15 milligrams/1000 cycles and s, = 8 milligrams/1000 cycles.

- Citrus F v is a popular car rental agency that has a history of having too few cars available, so that its available cars are overdriven. The mean monthly mileage uver the years for Citrus cars has been about 1600 miles per month. Recently, though, Citrus purchased thousands of new cars, and the company claims that the average mileage of its cars is now less than in the past. To test this, a random sample of 21 recent mileages of Citrus cars was taken. The mean of these 21 mileages was 1553 miles per month, and the standard deviation was 241 miles per month. Assume that the population of recent monthly mileages of Citrus cars is normally distributed. At the 0.05 level of significance, can it be concluded that the mean recent monthly mileage, u, of Citrus cars is less than 1600 miles per month? Perform a one-tailed test.
