A researcher wishes to try three different techniques to lower the blood pressure of individuals diagnosed with high blood pressure. The subjects are randomly assigned to three groups; the first group takes medication, the second group exercises, and the third group follows a special diet. After four weeks, the reduction in each person’s blood pressure is recorded. At 0.05, test the claim that there is no difference among the means. The data are shown.

A statistician wants to determine if there is a difference in the fuel efficiency of cars between model years. To do this, he selects random makes and models of cars and compares the fuel efficiency in miles per gallon of the current model year and the previous model year. Suppose that data were collected for a random sample of 9 cars, where each difference is calculated by subtracting the fuel efficiency in miles per gallon of the previous model year from the fuel efficiency in miles per gallon of the current model year. Assume that the fuel efficiencies are normally distributed. What type of test is this hypothesis test? A. This is a two-tailed test because the alternative hypothesis is Ha:μd≠0. B. This is a right-tailed test because the alternative hypothesis is Ha:μd>0. C. This is a right-tailed test because the alternative hypothesis is Ha:μd<0. D. This is a left-tailed test because the alternative hypothesis is Ha:μd<0. E. This is a left-tailed…
An executive believes that a new energy drink his company developed will increase an individual's stamina. In order to test this, he selects random individuals and times how long they can run without stopping. He then instructs the individuals to drink the energy drink for two weeks. After the two weeks, he times how long they can run again without stopping. Suppose that data were collected for a random sample of 35 people, where each difference is calculated by subtracting the time spent running before the two-week period from the time spent running after the two-week period. Assume that the times are normally distributed. The test statistic is t≈6.298, α=0.01, the corresponding rejection region is t>2.441, the null hypothesis is H0:μd=0, and the alternative hypothesis is Ha:μd>0. Which of the following statements are accurate for this hypothesis test in order to evaluate the claim that the true mean difference between the time spent running after the two-week period from the…
An agricultural scientist tests six types of fertilizer, labeled A, B, C, D, E, and F, to determine whether any of them produces an increase in the yield of lima beans over that obtained with the current fertilizer. For fertilizer C, the increase in yield is statistically significant at the 0.05 level. For the other five, the increase is not statistically significant. The scientist concludes that the yield obtained with fertilizer C is greater than that of the current fertilizer. Explain why this conclusion is not justified.
A physician wants to determine if a supplement is effective in helping men lose weight. She takes a random sample of overweight men and records their weights before the trial. She then prescribes the supplement and instructs them to take it for four weeks while making no other lifestyle changes. After the four-week period, she records the weights of the men again. Suppose that data were collected for a random sample of 6 men, where each difference is calculated by subtracting the weight before the trial from the weight after the trial. Assume that the weights are normally distributed. Identify the critical value of the t-test statistic for a left-tailed hypothesis test, where α=0.05.

A farmer would like to investigate the relationship between the obtained yield of apple trees and the amount of weeds found in their roots. For this reason, nine apple trees of the same type were randomly selected and the amount of weeds in their roots (x grams) was recorded together with their yield (y kilograms). Year #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 #8 #9 #10 Weeds in roots (x) 30 28 32 25 25 24 22 24 35 40 Yield (y) 25 30 27 40 42 41 50 45 30 25 Draw a scatter diagram of these data. Label the diagram carefully. Calculate the sample correlation coefficient. Interpret your findings. Calculate the least squares line of y on x and draw the line on the scatter diagram. Based on the regression equation in part (iii.), what will be the predicted yield of apple for a tree with 37 grams of weeds in its roots? Will you trust this value? Justify your answer.

3. After receiving complaints from McDonald’s customers in Japan about the amount of french fries being served, the on-line news magazine ”Rocket News” decided to test the actual weight of the fries served at a particular Japanese McDonald’s restaurant. According to the Rocket News article, the official weight standard set by McDonald’s of Japan is for a medium sized fries to weigh 135 grams. The publication weighed the fries from 36 different medium fries they purchased and found the average weight of the fries in their sample to be 130 grams with a variance of 225 grams. Research Question: Does the data suggest that the medium fries from this McDonald’s in Japan are underpacked? Use α =0.05. (a) Which of the following is the H0 ?
