A manufacturer of automobile products has developed a new wax and is interested in comparing the new wax with their standard wax to determine if the new wax will protect a car for a longer period of time. In order to make a comparison, both waxes are applied to five new cars respectively and exposed to the same environmental conditions. The results of the test are: Standard Wax New Wax ni =5 n2 = 5 X1 =86.80 hours of effectiveness X2 =92.40 hours of effectiveness s1 =2.88 hours %D s2 =2.49 hours Based upon this conclusion, the manufacturer can conclude that:

The Us food and Drug administration has a limit for mercury content in fish of 1.0ppm (parts per million) while in Canada the limit is 0.5 ppm. Using the variable average mercury in the Florida lakes dataset to test whether there is evidence that average mercury level of fish ( large mouth Bass) in Florida lakes is less than 1.0ppm and whether there is evidence that average mercury level of fish in Florida lakes is less than 0.5ppm. STATE THE NULL AND ALTERNATIVE HYPOTHESES? GIVE THE TEST STATISTICS AND P-VALUE? round the test statistic to two decimal places and the p-value to three decimal places. DOES THIS SAMPLE PROVIDE EVIDENCE THAT THE AVERAGE MERCURY LEVEL OF FISH (LARGE MOUTH BASS) IN FLORIDA LAKES IS LESS THAN 1.0PPM? LESS THAN 0.5 PPM : STATE THE NULL AND ALTERNATIVE HYPOTHESES.

It is believed that a sweetener called xylitol helps prevent ear infections. In a randomized experiment, 165 children took a placebo and 68 of them got ear infections. Another sample of 159 children took xylitol and 46 of them got ear infections. The scientists believe that the proportion of ear infections in the placebo group will be greater than the xylitol group. Test this hypothesis at α = 0.025.
In an observational study, it was noticed that people that eat more chocolate tend to have better blood flow than the general population. Researchers wonder whether the improved blood flow might be caused by flavanols (a molecule found in many foods). Dark chocolate contains a high concentration of flavanols, but milk chocolate contains a much lower concentration. How could the researchers design an experiment to determine the effects of flavanol on blood flow from the different types of chocolate?
A group of 10-year-old boys were first ascertained in a camp for diabetic boys. They had their weight measured at baseline and again when they returned to camp 1 year later. Each time, a serum sample was obtained from which a determination of hemoglobin A1c (HgbA1c) was made. HgbA1c (also called glycosylated hemoglobin) is routinely used to monitor compliance with taking insulin injections. Usually, the poorer the compliance, the higher the HgbA1c level will be. The hypothesis is that the level HgbA1c is related to weight. The data in Table 11.28 were obtained. 11.92 What test can be performed to assess the relationship between weight and HgbA1c at the initial visit? 11.93 Please perform the test in Problem 11.92, and report a two-tailed p-value. 11.94 Do the results in Problem 11.93 imply a relationship between change in HgbA1c and change in weight for an individual boy? Why or why not?

Report a two-tailed p-value, and provide a 95% confidence interval for the underlying rank correlation.

Researchers at the FDA are interested in the effectiveness of a generic pain-relieving drug compared to that of a brand-name drug on the basis of the length of time between drug administration and pain cessation. They plan to test the generic drug on 36 randomly selected subjects with pain symptoms. If the generic drug has significantly shorter length of time to pain cessation then researchers will recommend sale of the generic drug. The brand-name drug is known to relieve symptoms at 1.5 hours, on average, after administration of the drug with a population standard deviation of 0.25 hours. It is assumed that the time to cessation on the generic drug has the same standard deviation of the brand name drug. They intend to perform a two-sided hypothesis test at the 3% significance level. (a) What are the null and alternative hypotheses? Be sure to define the population parameter of interest. (b) Suppose that the data have been collected and the researchers found enough evidence to…
A cream with alpha-hydroxy acid, advertises that it can reduce wrinkles and improve the skin. In a study published in Archives of Dermatology (June 1996), 49 middle-aged women used a cream with alpha-hydroxy acid for 22 weeks. At the end of the study period, a dermatologist judged whether each woman exhibited any improvement in the condition of her skin. The results for the 49 women (where I = improved skin and N = no improvement) were: 32 I’s and 17 N’s. (a) Find a 95% confidence interval for p, the true population proportion of middle-aged women with improved skin after using this cream. Interpret the interval. (b) What assumptions are required for the confidence interval of part (a) to be statistically valid? (c) Are the assumptions for part (b) reasonably satisfied? Explain.
A researcher hypothesizes that the lowering in cholesterol associated with weight loss is really due to exercise. To test this, the researcher carefully controls for exercise while comparing the cholesterol levels of a group of subjects who lose weight by dieting with a control group that does not diet. The difference between groups in cholesterol is not significant. Can the researcher claim that weight loss has no effect?

You predict that a salesclerk at the mall will take longer to help a potential customer that is dressed in sloppy clothes vs a potential customer dressed in business attire. After running the study you find support for your hypothesis with the obtained value exceeding the critical value at the p < .05 level. Why wouldn't you want to say that you proved your hypothesis correct? What other sources might be a better explanation for your findings?
