I need help with this problem. I already know the answer. I am confused between the lectures, textbook, and work text. Can you show me, the old fashioned way (not Excel, SPSS or any other software to generate the answer), I need the formulas to show how to come up with the correct answer? Here is the problem: An experim

The mean wages paid to Americans between the ages of 45 and 64 across all demographics in the United States is $38,740 with a standard deviation of $156. We took a sample of 31 workers between the ages of 45 and 64. They had a mean earned wages of $33,298. At the 0.05 significance level can we conclude does the sample show that
1-The lower the level of significance, the harder it is to reject the null. In sum, you want to be REALLY sure that your alternative hypothesis is correct, so if you use a low significance level (say, .01), then you would only reject the null if you're REALLY sure about the outcome. Most use a .05 level of significance, which
See attached for full formatting. 1. Supposed you were interested in knowing the mean score for a certain quiz in a statistics class with 20 students. You sample four members of the class and find their scores to be 49, 56, 72, and 90. The evil instructor (not Professor Au!) reports that the mean was 72, but you are not s
A recent prospective cohort study analyzed the effect of calcium plus vitamin D supplement use on the development of osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones). QUESTION 11 What are the null and alternative hypotheses being investigated in this study? (Be sure to specify the exposure-outcome association under study along with t
Each day the major stock markets have a group of leading gainers in price (stocks that go up the most). On one day the standard deviation in the percent change for a sample of 10 NASDAQ leading gainers was 15.8. On the same day, the standard deviation in the percent change for a sample of 10 NYSE leading gainers was 7.9 (USA Tod
CherryBerry Soda, Inc. claims that 15 percent of the population can identify its products. In efforts to boost their identity, CherryBerry employs a famous spokesperson to advertise. A survey is then taken to assess the results of the ad campaign. The results show that 17 percent of the 1000 respondents can identify CherryBerry
Describe the five step process for hypothesis testing. Which is the most difficult step, and why? Define the concept of a t and z statistic. What do these statistics allow you to do? In other words, what is the statistical relevance of these formulas? Discuss the importance of the standard deviation in relation to the z o
A recent article in a computer magazine suggested that the mean time to fully learn a new software program is 40 hours. A sample of 100 first-time users of a new statistics program revealed the mean time to learn it was 39 hours with the standard deviation of 8 hours. At the 0.05 significance level, can we conclude that users le
For several decades, it was a common practice in Southern California for houses to be built with pools in the backyard (as any airplane flight which ends at a Southern California airport will reveal). Now, however, that practice may be changing, possibly because of the recent demand for landscaped homes, which experts believe he

Radon is a gas produced when radium decays, and it can enter homes where it can become a health threat. Among 186 homes in Hyde Park, New York (home of Franklin D. Roosevelt), 16% were found to have unsafe radon levels (above 4 picocurries per liter). Among 237 homes in LaGrange, New York (home of the author), 19% were fou
The general social survey is an annual survey given to about 1,500 U.S. adults selected at random.
