A pavement engineer is attempting to study the effect of adding polypropylene (PP) to asphalt concrete. The engineer claims that PP can improve the strength of asphalt concrete. Results of indirect tensile strength tests on asphalt concrete samples with and without PP are shown in Table Q2. At the 0.05 significance level, conduct a suitable statistical test to prove or disprove the engineer’s claim.

Lactation promotes a temporary loss of bone mass to provide adequate amounts of calcium for milk production. The paper “Bone Mass Is Recovered from Lactation to Postweaning in Adolescent Mothers with Low Calcium Intakes” (Amer. J. of Clinical Nutr., 2004: 1322–1326) gave the following data on total body bone mineral content (TBBMC) (g) for a sample both during lactation (L) and in the postweaning period (P).

The NAEP considers that a national average of 283 is an acceptable performance. Using α = .05, run a two-tail t-test for one sample to test Ho: µ=283 for the 2019 scores. Report the t-obt, df, and p-values. Would you reject the null hypothesis that the 2019 scores come from a population with average 283? If this is the case, does it come from a population from larger or smaller average?

In a study examining overweight and obese college football players, Mathews and Wagner(2008) found that on average both offensive and defensive linemen exceeded the at-risk criterionfor body mass index (BMI). BMI is a ratio of body weight to height squared and is commonlyused to classify people as overweight or obese. Any value greater than 30 kg/m2 is considered tobe at risk. In the study, a sample of n = 17 offensive linemen averaged M = 34.4 with a standarddeviation of s = 4.0. A sample of n = 19 defensive linemen averaged M = 31.9 with s = 3.5a. Use a single-sample t test to determine whether the offensive linemen are significantly abovethe at-risk criterion for BMI. Use a one-tailed test with α = .01.b. Use a single-sample t test to determine whether the defensive linemen are significantly abovethe at-risk criterion for BMI. Use a one-tailed test with α = .01.c. Use an independent-measures t test to determine whether there is a significant differencebetween the offensive linemen…

The mean number of drinks consumed per week at USC is 7.64 (s.d.=2.55, N=412 Health services is concerned that USC students are consuming significantly more alcohol per week than the national average. Using an alpha level of .05, Is there sufficient evidence to be concerned? Be sure to select the correct critical value for the alternative hypothesis, and then use this evidence to make your conclusion
