As a part of a class project, your statistics instructor asks you to weigh a sample of 100 items from a shipment of 500. You are testing the null hypothesis that the mean is greater or equal to 10 lbs. You are given that the standard deviation is 0.05 lb. Accepting H0 is the same as accepting the shipment. A) using a signific
Patrick was studying effects of small rewards (such as candy, gum, and soda pop) on intrinsic motivation. He tested fifth-grade children in a special room set aside by the school. Although he asked participants not to tell the students about the study, several children talked to their friends on the playground. Now some of his p

Choose a hypothesis and operationally define a variable in the hypothesis. Your operational definition will consist of measures at the self-report, behavioral, and physiological levels as well as a manipulation of the variable. Your operational definition should be written in such a way that you could measure and manipulate it

A variable of two populations has a mean of 40 and a standard deviation of 12 for one of the populations and a mean a of 40 and a standard deviation of 6 for the other population. Moreover, the variable is normally distributed on each of the two populations. a. For independent samples of sizes 9 and 4, respectively, determine
The mean lifetime of electric light bulbs produced by a company has in the past been 1120 hours with a standard deviation of 125 hours. A sample of 20 bulbs revealed a standard deviation in the lifetimes of 150 hours. Would you conclude that this is unusual? Explain.
The annual temperature of a city is obtained by finding the mean of the mean temperatures on the 15th day of each month. The standard deviation of the annual temperatures of the city of a period of 100 years was 16 degrees Fahrenheit. During the last 15 years a standard deviation of annual temperatures was computed as 10 degre
