A paired difference experiment produced the following results
nd = 38
- a. Determine the values of z for which the null hypothesis. μ1 – μ2 = 0, would be rejected in favor of the alternative hypothesis, μ1 – μ2 < 0. Use α = .10.
- b. Conduct the paired difference test described in part a. Draw the appropriate conclusions.
- c. What assumptions are necessary so that the paired difference test will be valid? d Find a 90% confidence interval for the mean difference μd.
- d. Which of the two inferential procedures, the confidence interval of part d or the test of hypothesis of part b. provides more information about the differences between the population means?

- In a test of H0:p=0.4 against Ha:p≠0.4, a sample of size 100 produces z=1.28 for the value of the test statistic. Thus the p-value of the test is approximately equal to?arrow_forwardAn experiment was conducted to test the effect of a new cholesterol medicine. Fifteen people were treated with medicine X and 15 with medicine Y for a month, then the subjects' cholesterol level was measured. A significance test was conducted at the a = 0.01 level for the difference in the means of the cholesterol levels between medicine X and medicine Y. The test resulted in t = 2.73 and p = 0.003. If the alternative hypothesis in question was Ha: px - μy ‡ 0, where µx equals the mean cholesterol level for subjects taking medicine X and μy equals the mean cholesterol level for subjects taking medicine Y, what conclusion can be drawn? O There is not a significant difference in mean cholesterol level when using medicine X and medicine Y. O There is sufficient evidence that there is a difference in mean cholesterol level when using medicine X and medicine Y. O There is sufficient evidence that medicine X lowers cholesterol levels more than medicine Y. O The proportion of subjects who…arrow_forwardAn experiment was conducted to test the effect of a new stain remover. Twenty stains were treated with stain remover A and stain remover B for a week, then the number of stains removed was measured. A significance test was conducted at the a = 0.10 level for the difference in the means of the number of stains removed between stain remover A and stain remover B. The test resulted in t = 1.37 and p = 0.17. If the alternative hypothesis in question is Ha: HA - HB #0, where μA equals the mean number of stains removed with stain remover A and μg equals the mean number of stains removed with stain remover B, what conclusion can be drawn? O There is a significant difference in the mean effectiveness of two stain removers. O There is sufficient evidence that stain remover A works better than stain remover B. O The proportion of stains that stain remover A removed is greater than the proportion of stains removed by stain remover B. O There is insufficient evidence that the proportion of stains…arrow_forward
- A test of Ho: p = 0.5 versus Ha: p > 0.5 has a test statistic of z = 2.19. What is the P-value for the test? If the alternative hypothesis were Ha: p ≠≠0.5, what would be the value of the P-value?arrow_forwardYou are testing the null hypothesis that there is no relationship between two variables, X and Y. From your sample of n=22, you determine that SSR=60 and SSE=20. Find the test statistic, tSTAT. (Round to four decimal places as needed.)arrow_forwardA hypothesis test is conducted with H0 : µ = 18 vs. Ha: µ > 18. Given that the population is normal and the sample finds x̅ = 21.2, σ = 10, and n = 9 , the tail area of this test is P =arrow_forward
- A tax accountant would like to test the claim that the proportion of individuals who owe when filing their taxes is greater than 0.20. If the z− test statistic was calculated as z=1.94, does the tax accountant have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis? Assume α=0.05.arrow_forwardWhen computing the Z value to compare between two samples of two populations, o2 is a parameter of the statistical equation. Select one: O True O Falsearrow_forward1. A sample of data is collected from a group of college students (X = 112, Sx = 12, N = 58). It is hypothesized that members of this group have higher test scores than the general population (u = 100, o = 15). What test do you conduct? Don't do the test, just name the test and list the relevant equation for the test statistic. %3Darrow_forward
