    A sample of 40 house holds with children from Middleton was randomly selected. The mean length of time was 7.6 years, with a S.D.of 2.3 years. 55 households revealed the mean length of time was 8.1 years with S.D. 2.9 years. At .05 level of sig. can we conclude that students stayed in their district less Brockton students? Use the 5 step Hypothesis.

    Mean and Standard Deviation of Allowance in Tennessee

    A nine year old gets 3.65 for allowance. Sample of 45 9 year olds in Tennessee revealed mean allowance 3.69 with a standard dev. of .24 . At .05 significance is there a difference mean allowance in Alabama for 9 year olds.

    Five Step Hypothesis Testing

    A salesman makes 40 calls per week. People complained because they said that estimate was to low. In a random sample of 28 people, the standard deviation was computed to be 2.1 calls at the the significant level .05. Can one conclude that more than 40 calls were made on average?

    Estimating the P-Value of a Sample

    Experience raising New Jersey red chickens revealed the mean weight of the chickens at five months is 4.35 pounds. The weights follow the normal distribution. In an effort to increase their weight, a special additive is added to the chicken feed. The subsequent weights of a sample of five-month old chickens were (in pounds):

    Hypothesis testing for a given claim

    Testing Hypothesis. Test the given claim. Identify the null hypothesis, alternative hypothesis, test statistic, P-value or critical value(s), conclusion about the null hypothesis, and final conclusion that addresses the original claim. Use the P-value method unless your instructor specifies otherwise.

    You are given the following data. Test the claim that there is a difference in the means of the two groups. Use alpha = 0.10. Group A Group B

    Hypothesis testing and sample size

    Please see attached. A sample of size n = 14 is selected from a normal population to construct a 95% confidence interval estimate for a population mean. The interval was computed to be (7.82 to 9.64). Determine the sample standard deviation. (4 pts) Determine the p-value for each of the following hypothesis-testing situat

    Normal Distributions, Central Limit Theorem and Age Distribution

    Questions: Work each question, using Excel where appropriate. Remember, each gestation period is its own normal distribution. Thus, you will need to change the "mean" and "standard deviation" to reflect the question you are answering. 2. What percent of the babies born with each gestation period have a low birth w

    Finding the Effectiveness of Teaching Methods

    Six groups of randomly selected students matched for IQ and age were formed. Each student was taught a concept of time by using one of three methods: Lecture, demonstration, or teaching machine. The scores are shown in the table below indicated the student's performance when they were tested on how well the grasped the concept.
