Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the population of heavy marijuana users has a standard deviation from that of light users. Items sorted correctly by light marijuana users: n = 64, x bar = 53.3, s = 3.6 Items sorted correctly by heavy marijuana users: n = 65, x bar = 51.3, s = 4.5 Solution: Null Hypothesis: The population of heavy marijuana users has no standard deviation from that of light users. EMBED Equation.3 Alternative Hypothesis: The population of heavy marijuana users has a standard deviation from that of light users. EMBED Equation.3 Critical Value: Since the sample size greater we can use the Z-test statistics. The critical value from the Z-table at the 0.025 level of significance is 1.96 (since the test is two sided). Test Statistics: Z-test statistics is given by, Z = EMBED Equation.3 By plugging the values in the formula we have, Z = EMBED Equation.3 Z = EMBED Equation.3 = 2.7895 Decision Rule: If the calculated value of Z is less than the table value then we can accept the null hypothesis. Otherwise reject the null and accept the alternative hypothesis. Conclusion: Since the calculated value of Z 2.7895 is greater than the critical value 1.96 we have to reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternative hypothesis that the population of heavy marijuana has a standard deviation from that of light marijuana. #12 pg 481 Cigaretts Filters and Nicotine Refer to the sample result listed in the measured nicotine contents of randomly selected filtered and nonfiltered king size cigarettes. All measurements are in milligrams, and the data are from the Federal Trade Commission. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that king size cigarettes with filters have a lower mean amount of nicotine than the mean amount of nicotine in nonfiltered king size cigarettes. Construct a 90% confidence interval estimate of the difference between the two population means Do cigarette filters appear to be effective in reducing nicotine? Nicotine (mg) Filter KingsNon Filter Kings n1 = 21 n2 = 8 x(bar) =0.94 x2(bar) = 1.65 s1 = 0.31 s2 =0.16 Solution: Test: Null Hypothesis: The king size cigarettes with filters have a higher or equal mean amount of nicotine than the mean amount of nicotine in non-filtered king size cigarettes. EMBED Equation.3 Alternative Hypothesis: The king size cigarettes with filters have a lower amount of nicotine than the mean amount of nicotine in non-filtered king size cigarettes. EMBED Equation.3 Critical Value: Since we are about to use t-test statistic we have the critical value from the t-table at the 0.05 level of significance and at 27 degrees of freedom as 1.703. Test Statistics: The t-test statistics is given by the formula, t = EMBED Equation.3 By substituting the values in the formula we get, t = EMBED Equation.3 t = EMBED Equation.3 = -8.051 |t| = 8.051 Decision Rule: If the calculated value of Z is less than the table value then we can accept the null hypothesis. Otherwise reject the null and accept the alternative hypothesis. Conclusion: Since the critical value 1.703 is less than the calculated value 8.051 we have to reject the null hypothesis and accept the claim that there is lower mean amount of nicotine in filtered cigarettes than the non-filtered cigarettes. b. The confidence interval is given by the formula, t0.05 = EMBED Equation.3 1.703 = EMBED Equation.3 EMBED Equation.3 The confidence interval for the difference between the means at 90% confidence interval and at 27 degrees of freedom is, EMBED Equation.3 C. It is obvious from the test that the cigarette which has filter has the lower amount of nicotine than the non-filtered cigarette. #6. pg.464 Calculations for Testing Claims: In exercise 6 assume that you plan to use a significance level of 0.05 to test the claim that P1 = P2. Use the given sample sizes and numbers of successes to find (a) the pooled estimate p bar (b) the z test statistic (c) the critical z values and (d) the P-value Low Activity High Activity N1=10239 X1=101 N2=9877 X2=56 Solution: Null Hypothesis: Two population proportions are equal. P1=P2 Alternative Hypothesis: Two population proportions are not equal. EMBED Equation.3 Critical value: Since the sample size is larger we can use the Z test statistics. We have the critical value from the Z table at the 0.025 level of significance (since the test is two sided) as 1.96. Test Statistics: Since we are advised to use the pooled estimate for the proportion we have, EMBED Equation.3 = EMBED Equation.3 = 0.0078 EMBED Equation.3 EMBED Equation.3 The test statistics is given by, Z = EMBED Equation.3 By substituting all the values in the formula we get, Z = EMBED Equation.3 Z = EMBED Equation.3 P-Value for Z-calculated value is (1-0.9996) 0.0004. Conclusion Based on critical value: Since the calculated value 3.3763 is greater than the critical value 1.96 from the Z table at the 0.025 level of significance we reject the null hypothesis that two population proportions are equal. Conclusion Based on P-Value: Since the P-Value for the calculated value 0.0004 is less than the given level of significance 0.025 we have to reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternative. #4pg 547 Stocks and Super Bowl Data Set 25 includes pairs of data for the Dow-Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) high value and total number of points scored in the Super Bowl for 21 different years. Excel was used to find that the value of the linear correlation coefficient is r = -0.133 and the regression equation is y (dependent variable) = 53.3 0.000442x, where x is the high value of the DJIA. Also the mean number of Super Bowl points is 51.4. What is the best predicted value for the total number of Super Bowl points scored in a year with a DJIA high of 1200? Solution: The best predicted value for the total number of super bowl points scored in a year with DJIA high of 1200 is found by plugging the 1200 in the given linear regression equation. Y = 53.3 0.000442X Y = 53.3 0.000442*1200 Y = 52.7696 J ! ' ( ; < = > R : ; N O P Q R 岥塙}yqybUqy j h h EHUjtH h CJ UVaJ j h Uh j h h EHUjHtH h CJ UVaJ j h Uh jS h_ h_ EHUjtH h_ CJ UVaJ j h_ h_ EHUj
