Body Temperatures Refer to Data Set 3 “Body Temperatures” in Appendix B and use all of the matched pain of body temperatures at 8 AM and 12 AM on Day 1 When using a 0.05 significance level for testing a claim of a difference between the temperatures at 8 AM and at 12 AM on Day 1. how are the hypothesis lest results and confidence interval results affected if the temperatures are converted from degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Celsius? What is the relationship between the confidence interval limits for the body temperatures in degrees Fahrenheit and the confidence interval limits for the body temperatures in degrees Celsius?

- One scientist wondered if there was a difference in the average daily intake of dairy products between men and women. He took a sample of n1 = 50 adult men and n2 = 50 adult women and recorded their daily intake of dairy products in grams per day. A summary of the sample results is presented in the table. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference in the average daily intake of dairy products for men and women. Can it be concluded that there is a difference in the average daily intakes for men and women?arrow_forwardAccording to a field poll conducted February 8-17, 2005, 79% of California adults (actual results are 400 out of 506 surveyed) feel that “education and our schools” is one of the top issues facing California. We wish to construct a 90% confidence interval for the true proportion of California adults who feel that education and the schools is one of the top issues facing California. What is a point estimate for the true population proportion? Show work on calculator if availablearrow_forwardA sample of 60 people who were chosen for a sample had an average IQ score of 105. If the population standard deviation for IQ scores is 15, construct a 95% confidence interval for the average IQ score for the population.arrow_forward
- A Dean of a certain business school is interested in the difference in proportions of A's given by Professors I & II. Suppose the dean has access to 800 grade reports from each professor. It turns out that 240 students received A's from Professor I and 160 students received A's from Professor II. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the true differences in proportions of A's given by the two professors.arrow_forwardA research team is interested in determining if there is a relationship between death anxiety and religiosity. Subjects completed a death anxiety scale (high score = high anxiety) and also completed a checklist designed to measure an individual's degree of religiosity (belief in a particular religion, regular attendance at religious services, number of times per week they regularly pray, etc.) (high score = greater religiosity). What statistical test is most suitable to answer the research objective? a. Chi-Square Test b. Correlation Coefficient c. t-test d. ANOVAarrow_forwardIt is known that the overall job satisfaction (score range 0-10) of professors follows a normal distribution. The job satisfaction of 16 SUNY professor shows blow using a histogram. Calculate the 95% CI to estimate the professor population's average job satisfaction level and interpret the 95% CI. List two ways that you could use to get a narrower confidence level. Which way is better? Why?arrow_forward
- The difference between teenage female and male depression rates estimated from two samples is 0.07. The estimated standard error of the sampling distribution is 0.04. What is the 95% confidence interval?arrow_forwardBilirubin is a yellowish substance in your blood that forms after red blood cells break down and it travels through your liver, gallbladder, and digestive tract before being excreted. Elevated levels may indicate liver damage as your liver isn’t clearing bilirubin properly. A researcher is interested in estimating the mean Bilirubin level for a population of patients with liver disease along with its 90% confidence interval. The researcher collected data from a sample of 24 patients and found the average Bilirubin level is 86.08 with standard deviation 106. However, due to the skewness in the data, a natural logarithm of the data was performed to satisfy normality assumption required for calculating the confidence interval. The resulted 90% confidence interval for the mean Bilirubin level under the natural log transformation is (3.69,4.3). Which one of the following options best helps the researcher in making inference about the true population mean Bilirubin level? a. Based…arrow_forwardA Industrial Psychology test was written.

- Question 4 According to the website www.collegedrinkingprevention.gov, "About 25 percent of college students report academic consequences of their drinking including missing class, falling behind, doing poorly on exams or papers, and receiving lower grades overall." A statistics student is curious about drinking habits of students at his college. He wants to estimate the mean number of alcoholic drinks consumed each week by students at his college. He plans to use a 90% confidence interval. He surveys a random sample of 56 students. The sample mean is 3.94 alcoholic drinks per week. The sample standard deviation is 3.43 drinks. Construct the 90% confidence interval to estimate the average number of alcoholic drinks consumed each week by students at this college.
