In this question you are asked to help the ministry of labor to analyze US wage data for females
(X;) and males (Y;). The data used are based on a sample of 526 observations where 252 of
them are females: The following average hourly earnings observations are at hand:
= 1156.090
E(x; – x)2 = 1605.817
Ey: = 1945.260
EGi – y)² = 4726.378
a) Test the wage discrimination hypothesis that wages are higher for males at a 1% significance
level. What can you say about the p-value of this test?
b) Calculate the power for the test in b) when the population differences in wages uy - ux
equal to: 0.100, 0.250, 0.500, 1.000, 1.500. Also, use the results to plot the power function
curve.
The data in Table 7..7 are collected in an experiment designed to investigate the impact of different positions of the mother during ultrasound on fetal heart rate. Fetal heart rate is measured by ultrasound in beats per minute.
The study includes 20 women who are each assigned to one position and have the fetal heart rate measured in that position. Each woman is between 28 weeks, and 32 weeks, gestation. Is there a significant difference in mean fetal heart rates by position? Run the test at a 5% level of significance.

- An experiment was conducted to investigate leaking current in a SOS MOSFETS device. The purpose of the experiment was to investigate how leakage current varies as the channel length changes. Four channel lengths were selected. For each channel length, five different widths were also used, and width is to be considered a nuisance factor. The data are as follows: (a) Test the hypothesis that mean leakage voltage does not depend on the channel length using a= 0.05. (b) Analyze the residuals from this experiment. Comment on the residual plots. (c) The observed leakage voltage for channel length 4 and width 5 was erroneously recorded. The correct observation is 4.0. Analyze the corrected data from this experiment. Is there evidence to conclude that mean leakage voltage increases with channel length?arrow_forwardConsider the following measurements of blood hemoglobin concentrations (in g/dL) from three human populations at different geographic locations: population1 = [ 14.7 , 15.22, 15.28, 16.58, 15.10 ] population2 = [ 15.66, 15.91, 14.41, 14.73, 15.09] population3 = [ 17.12, 16.42, 16.43, 17.33] For the three populations, what is the value of SSgroups in the ANOVA table?
