Faced with rising fax costs, a firm issued a guideline that transmissions of 10 pages or more should be sent by 2-day mail instead. Exceptions are allowed, but they want the average to be 10 or below. The firm examined 35 randomly chosen fax transmissions during the next year, yielding a sample mean of 14.44 with a standard devi
What is an independent sample? What is a related sample? When should researchers use different hypothesis tests for independent and related samples? Is one type of sample preferable over the other?
I went over to our Provost last week to try to convince him that I have the ability of Extrasensory Perception (ESP). I gave him a deck of 10 cards, numbered 1 to 10, and asked him to shuffle them. Then, he would have to look at each card, and concentrate on the number, one at a time. I let him know that I could read hi
Formulate a numerical hypothesis of the statement issue. Formulate a verbal hypothesis statement regarding your research issue. The additional information is attached.
Explain the difference between the null hypothesis and the alternate hypothesis. How is the null hypothesis chosen (why is it null)? What is the importance of rejecting the null hypothesis in relation of the sample to the population? With a failure to reject the null hypothesis, can we make a general statement about the populati
Explain the difference between a left tail, two-tailed, and right tailed text. When would we choose a two tailed test? How can we tell the direction by looking at a pair of hypothesis? How can we tell which direction (or no direction) to make the hypothesis by looking at the problem statement (research question)?

Perform hypothesis testing on one variable's data. (Choose either the intrinsic or extrinsic column.) Perform a t-test by formulating a null and an alternative statement, choosing an acceptable significance value, determining the appropriate critical value, selecting the test statistic and determining its value from the sample d
10.38 A ski company in Vail owns two ski shops, one on the east side and one on the west side. Sales data showed that at the eastern location there were 56 pairs of large gloves sold out of 304 total pairs sold. At the western location there were 145 pairs of large gloves sold out of 562 total pairs sold. (a) Calculate the s
You will be testing the effects of physical activity on happiness ratings for two groups: one group who participates in physical activity and one group who does not participate in physical activity. You will be drawing two samples: one from the population of people who participate in a structured physical activity program and
Question: What is the critical F value for a sample of four observations in the numerator and seven in the denominator?
1. NBC TV news, in segment on the price of gasoline, reported last evening that the mean price nationwide is $2.50 per gallon for self-serve regular unleaded. A random sample of 35 stations in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, area revealed that the mean price was $2.52 per gallon and that the standard deviation was $0.05 per gallon. At the
Test the hypothesis that the average age of the students in the following group is 35. ? Develop a problem statement ? Create the hypothesis, null and alternate based on the problem statement ? Decide on one- or two-tailed test ? Develop the decision criteria, significance level, and critical
A state meat inspector in Iowa has been given the assignment of estimating the mean net weight of packages of ground chuck labeled "3 pounds." Of course, he realizes that the weights cannot be precisely 3 pounds. A sample of 36 packages reveals the mean weight to be 3.01 pounds, with a standard deviation of 0.03 pounds. a.
9.58 A sample of 100 mortgages approved during the current year showed that 31 were issued to a single-earner family or individual. The historical average is 25 percent. (a) At the .05 level of significance in a right-tailed test, has the percentage of single-earner or individual mortgages risen? Include a sketch of your decisio
1. In a bottling process, a manufacturer will lose money if the bottles contain either more or, less than is claimed on the label. The quality manager of a plant is interested in testing whether the mean ounces of catsup per family size bottle differ from the label by amount of 20 ounces. A sample of 9 bottles yields a mean fil
The following hypotheses are given. H0: pi = .40 H1: pi =/ .40 A sample of 120 observations revealed that p = .30. At the .05 significance level, can the null hypothesis be rejected? a. State the decision rule. b. Compute the value of the test statistic. c. What is your decision regarding the null hypothesis?
Discuss: How is the null hypothesis chosen (why is it null)? What is the importance of rejecting the null hypothesis in relation of the sample to the population? With a failure to reject the null hypothesis, can we make a general statement about the population based on the sample findings?
How can we tell the direction of the test by looking at a pair of hypothesis? How can we tell which direction (or no direction) to make the hypothesis by looking at the problem statement (research question)?
The values in the table are measured maximum breaths of male Egyptian skulls from time periods. Changing in head shape over time suggest that interbreading occurred with immigrant populations. Use a 0.05 level significance to test the claim that the different time periods do not all have the same mean. 4000BC 1850BC
The Spanish patients, two men and two women, were elderly and very ill. All four had undergone routine dialysis at the Hospital de la Princesa. Soon after, they began sweating and vomiting, some of them in excruciating pain. They died within a few hours of receiving treatment. Nothing seemed exceptional about the deaths of t
Although this critique was later discarded, how does user error affect the marketplace. When I buy my morning coffee at Starbucks, the cup warns me: "Careful, the beverage you are about to enjoy is extremely hot." The tag attached to a windshield cover I purchased last winter cautioned me not to use it while driving. Where sh
The thing about selling all of those drugs, devices, and solutions is that a lot can go wrong. Nearly every product that Baxter delivers is a matter of life and death. But when the outcome is death, it can be incredibly difficult to determine a treatment's effectiveness. Was the death normal and predictable? Or did the treatment
Workers Bosses N1=436 N2=121 X1=192 X2=40 Assume that you plan to use a significance level of a=.05 to test the claim that P1 = P2. Use the given sample sizes in numbers of success to find p -value.
A population consists of the following five values: 2, 2, 4, 4, and 8. a. List all samples of size 2, and compute the mean of each sample. b. Compute the mean of the distribution of sample means and the population mean. Compare the two values. c. Compare the dispersion in the population with that of the sample means.
A sample of 93 IQ scores was randomly selected from a certain population. At the 0.03 level of significance, test the hypothesis that the population has a mean IQ of 105. Assume that the population standard deviation is 11.9 and that the sample mean was 107 for the 93 scores.
