A test was given to a statistics class for nursing and accounting majors. Results for the two majors and for one student in each major are given: The nursing major scored a 7474 with μ=86 and σ=6 The accounting major scored a 7272 with μ=80 and σ=4 From the information provided, determine which student received a relatively higher grade. options Both students have the same relative grade. Neither student received a positive grade; therefore, the relatively higher grade cannot be determined. The nursing major has a higher relative grade than the accounting major. The accounting major has a higher relative grade than the nursing major.

A panel of dentists is interested in testing two different toothpaste brands (A and B) to see if there is a relationship between the brand and whether or not the patient has a cavity at their next appointment. A representative sample of 60 patients is recruited to take part in the study. At their first appointment of the year, each subject is assigned to brush their teeth with one of the two brands for the next six months. At their follow-up appointment six months later, they were checked for cavities. What method of data collection was used? Select one: a.Experiment b.Observational Study

At their first appointment of the year, each subject is assigned to brush their teeth with one of the two brands for the next six months. At their follow-up appointment six months later, they were checked for cavities. To test for significance of their findings, which of the following should the dentists use? Select one: a.Paired t-test b.One-sample t-test for a mean c.Linear Regression d.One-sample Z-test for a proportion e.Chi-Square test for independence f.Two-Sample t-test g.One-sample Z-test for a mean
Suppose that a researcher is interested in the average standardized test score for fifth graders in a local school district. The fifth graders at a specific school would comprise a ___________ and their average test score would be a ___________.
Resistors labeled as 100 Ω are purchased from two different vendors. The specification for this type of resistor is that its actual resistance be within 5% of its labeled resistance. In a sample of 180 resistors from vendor A, 149 of them met the specification. In a sample of 270 resistors purchased from vendor B, 233 of them met the specification. Vendor A is the current supplier, but if the data demonstrate convincingly that a greater proportion of the resistors from vendor B meet the specification, a change will be made. P-value?
Resistors labeled as 100 Ω are purchased from two different vendors. The specification for this type of resistor is that its actual resistance be within 5% of its labeled resistance. In a sample of 180 resistors from vendor A, 150 of them met the specification. In a sample of 270 resistors purchased from vendor B, 233 of them met the specification. Vendor A is the current supplier, but if the data demonstrate convincingly that a greater proportion of the resistors from vendor B meet the specification, a change will be made. a) State the appropriate null and alternate hypotheses. b) Find the P-value. c) Should a change be made?
A company claims that its brand of dish detergent, A, is more effective than a competitor’s brand, B. Fifty dirty dishes are randomly selected and randomly divided into two groups. In one group, each dirty dish will be placed in a container of hot water with Brand A detergent and in the other group, each dirty dish will be placed in a container of hot water with Brand B detergent. The dishes will sit for two hours, and then the cleanliness of the dishes will be measured using a scale of 1–10 (1 = least clean to 10 = most clean). The difference in mean cleanliness ratings for the two detergents (A – B) will then be calculated. What is the appropriate inference procedure?
in a certain city, 60% of the heads of household own the house in which they reside, and 80% of the heads of the household have full-time employment when considering what percentage of heads of household both own their home and have a full-time job, a student estimates that 48% of heads of household fit both requirements, stating that (0.60) (0.80)=0.48. is this student correct in his approach?
To determine the effectiveness of an oil additive, a testing firm purchased two cars of the same make, year, and model, and drove each a distance of 30,000 miles using the same kind of gasoline, the same kind of oil, the same driver, under the same road conditions. The oil in one engine included the additive, whereas the oil in the other engine did not. At the end of the test, the engines of both cars were dismantled, and it was found that the engine that contained the additive had less wear. The testing firm concluded that the oil additive caused the reduced wear.

The majority of clothing retailers use mannequins to display their merchandise, with approximately one‑third displaying mannequins with heads and two‑thirds displaying mannequins without heads. Researchers recruited 126 female participants and assigned each to one of the two mannequin styles (head/headless). Participants were asked to imagine that they wanted to buy a new dress and told to go to a named store to make their purchase. They then viewed the dress displayed on a mannequin (head or headless) and were asked whether or not they would buy the dress. Of the 63 participants viewing the dress displayed on a mannequin with a head, 18 indicated that they would buy the dress, while only 10 of the 63 participants viewing the headless mannequin indicated that they would buy the dress. Assuming the conditions are met, calculate the test statistic and ?-value. Give the test statistic to two decimal places and ?-value to four decimal places.
