Q1: What is a p-value in testing hypothesis? Q2: How does this p-value help us to decide to/not to reject a Null hypothesis? What might happen if we do not use this p-value in particular, when we are rejecting a Null hypothesis? Q3: What are the limits of these p-values to decide if we have made a right decision on reje
1. Explain the difference between testing a single mean, testing the difference between two means from an "independent sample" and testing mean differences from a "dependent sample". 2. Choose a variable. You will be comparing the means of two groups to each other. Your sample will consist of 12 subjects in each group. You ma
1. A National retail chain has 7 different strategies (S1 to S7) to increase its sell. None of these strategies work all the time. In the past they have used these strategies equal number of times and the following table shows the number time each strategy worked successfully. At the significance level .05, examine if all of the
PROBLEM # 3 A certain type of cable was advertised as having a breaking strength of 1000 pounds. A test of XX pieces of this cable was conducted and the mean breaking strength of this sample was XXX pounds with a sample standard deviation of XX pounds. Conduct a two-tail hypotheses test at alpha = .05 to determine if this samp
16. A steel pipe fittings company claims that the yield strength of its non-tempered couplings is more variable than that of its tempered couplings. A random sample of nine tempered couplings has a standard deviation of 13.1 mega-pascals, and a similar sample of nine non-tempered couplings has a standard deviation of 25.4 mega-p
