I'm interested in comparing the GPA of students at a junior college where I teach, with the national GPA average of all junior college students. I randomly select 22 students from my school (N = 22) and compare the mean of the 22 students with the national average. When I compare the two means I end up with a t-value of 2.761. Using an alpha value of .01, for a two-tailed test, what critical value do I find in Appendix B? (answer must have 3 decimal places)
1. What is the standardized test statistic? t = ___. 2. What is/are the critical value(s)?
A researcher would like to evaluate the effectiveness of a pain-relief patch designed for lower back pain. Prior to testing the patch, each of n = 8 patients rates the current level of back pain on a scale from 1 to 10. After wearing the patch for 90 minutes, a second pain rating is recorded. The data are as follows: Include in your responses: H. Do the results indicate a significant difference? Use a two-tailed test with α = .05 include in your response: I. What are the critical values of T? J. Compute the T statistic
Assume that the significance level is α=0.1. Use the given information to find the P-value and the critical value(s). The test statistic of z=1.44 is obtained when testing the claim that p>0.3. 1. What is the p-value? 2. What are the critical values?
A new cream that advertises that it can reduce wrinkles and improve skin was subject to a recent study. A sample of 4949 women over the age of 50 used the new cream for 6 months. Of those 4949 women, 3333 of them reported skin improvement(as judged by a dermatologist). Is this evidence that the cream will improve the skin of more than 6060% of women over the age of 50? Test using ?=0.05α=0.05. test statistics ?=z= rejection region ?>z>
A researcher wants to determine if the exam scores of the students are dependent on the length of time spent in studying the subject. Ten students in a certain class were taken and the results are shown in the table below where X is the time spent in studying the subject in hours and Y is the examination scores.If a test for the significance of r is conducted, using 5% level of significance ,what is the value of the t statistic?
A researcher calculates an F value for an ANOVA and it results in the value -12.155. The critical value for the ANOVA at the .05 level is 7.815. Knowing nothing about the individual cases that comprise the ANOVA test, what advice do you give to the researcher?
A washing machine manufacturer advertises that the median life of the machines is at least 8 years. A consumer advocacy group located 20 of these machines and found that 12 of them actually lasted less than 8 years, with none of them lasting exactly 8 years. At α α =0.05, test the claim that the median life is less than 8 hours. A. What is the test statistic? B. What is the critical value? C. What is the decision?

Use the following data to determine if drug B produces higher creatinine levels than drug A, assume the data is normally distributed. Write out the null and alternative hypothesis in words and symbols. Determine the critical value (use a significance level of 0.05) Calculate the test statistic, and determine if the results are significant or not. *Calculate by hand without using Excel or SPSS Creatinine levels (µmol/L) Drug A Drug B 48.2 52.3 54.6 57.4 58.3 55.6 47.8 53.2 51.4 61.3 52.0 58.0 55.2 59.8 49.1 54.8 49.9 52.6
A new cream that advertises that it can reduce wrinkles and improve skin was subject to a recent study. A sample of 68 women over the age of 50 used the new cream for 6 months. Of those 68 women, 39 of them reported skin improvement(as judged by a dermatologist). Is this evidence that the cream will improve the skin of more than 40% of women over the age of 50? Test using a= 0.05 (a) Test statistic: z= (b) The final conclusion is...A. There is not sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis that p=0.4 . That is, there is not sufficient evidence to reject that the cream can improve the skin of more than 40% of women over 50.B. We can reject the null hypothesis that p=0.4 and accept that p>0.4. That is, the cream can improve the skin of more than 40% of women over 50.
A random sample of n = 25 individuals is selected from a population with µ = 20, and a treatment is administered to each individual in the sample. After the treatment, the sample mean is found to be M = 22.2, with SS =384. Based on the sample data, does the treatment have a significant effect? Use a two-tailed test with α = .05. Write the hypothesis test out on a homework worksheet so that you can check your work. Then answer the question below: What is the critical value?
