(b): A taxi company is trying to decide whether the use of radial tires instead of regular belted tires improves fuel economy. Twelve cars were equipped with radial tires and driven over a prescribed test course. Without changing drivers, the same cars were then equipped with regular belted tires and driven once again over the test course. At 0.025 level, can we conclude that cars equipped with radial tires give better fuel economy than those equipped with belted tires. Assume the populations to be normally distributed. The gasoline consumption, in kilometers per liter, was recorded as follows: Kilometers per liter No. of cars Radial tires Belted tires 1 4.2 4.1 4.7 4.9 3 6.6 6.2 4 7.0 6.9 6.7 6.8 4.5 4.4 7 5.7 5.7 8 6.0 5.8 7.4 6.9 10 4.9 4.7 11 6.1 6.0 12 5.2 4.9

In a public opinion survey, 60 out of a sample of 100 high income voters and 40 out of a sample of 75 low income voters supported a decrease in value added tax VAT. Conclude at the 5% level of significance that the proportion of voters favoring a VAT Degrees difference between high and low income voters. (Where P1 is the proportion of all high income voters who is supported a decrease in VAT, p2 is the same for the low income voters ). The value of the test statistic to test the hypothesis is _____ and hence _____ A. T = - 0.668,accept H0 B. T = - 4.117,reject H0 C. Z= 0.882,accept H0 D. T = 2.313,reject H0 E. Z = 0.882,reject H0
A two-sample t-test for a difference in means was conducted to investigate whether there is a statistically significant difference in the average amount of fat found in low-fat yogurt and the average amount of fat found in nonfat yogurt. With all conditions for inference met, the test produced a test statistic of t=2.201 and a p-value of 0.027.
A researcher is testing a two-tailed null hypothesis at the p < .01 level with df = 48. What critical value would she or he use? Justify your answer.
A researcher is using a two-tailed hypothesis test with α = .05 to evaluate the effect of a treatment. If the boundaries for the critical region are t = ± 2.080, then how many individuals are in the sample?
Based on information from a previous study, r1 = 38 people out of a random sample of n1 = 104 adult Americans who did not attend college believe in extraterrestrials. However, out of a random sample of n2 = 104 adult Americans who did attend college, r2 = 48 claim that they believe in extraterrestrials. Does this indicate that the proportion of people who attended college and who believe in extraterrestrials is higher than the proportion who did not attend college? Use ? = 0.01. (a) What is the level of significance?State the null and alternate hypotheses. H0: p1 = p2; H1: p1 > p2H0: p1 = p2; H1: p1 < p2 H0: p1 = p2; H1: p1 ≠ p2H0: p1 < p2; H1: p1 = p2 (b) What sampling distribution will you use? What assumptions are you making? The Student's t.

Based on information from a previous study, r1 = 30 people out of a random sample of n1 = 107 adult Americans who did not attend college believe in extraterrestrials. However, out of a random sample of n2 = 107 adult Americans who did attend college, r2 = 46 claim that they believe in extraterrestrials. Does this indicate that the proportion of people who attended college and who believe in extraterrestrials is higher than the proportion who did not attend college? Use ? = 0.01.
For the T-test of the single sample, does the GPA of a group of students who were considered gifted in primary school is higher than the university's mean GPA? How do you state your hypothesis and then how do you decide based on the t-test if we should reject the null hypothesis?
A recent poll found that 664 out of 1026 randomly selected people in a particular country felt that colleges and universities with big sports programs placed too much emphasis on athletics over academics. Assuming the conditions for the CLT are met, use the accompanying Minitab output to complete parts a and b below. N Event Sample p 95% CI for p 1026 664 0.647173 (0.617934, 0.676413) Question content area bottom b. Suppose a sports blogger wrote an article claiming that a majority of adults from this country believe that colleges and universities with big sports programs place too much emphasis on athletics over academics. Does this confidence interval support the blogger's claim? Explain your reasoning. A. No, it is not a plausible claim because the confidence interval contains 50%. B. No, it is not a plausible claim because the confidence interval does not contain only values above 50%. C. Yes, it is a…

A large manufacturing company investigated the service it received from its suppliers and discovered that, in the past, 38% of all material shipments were received late. However, the company recently installed a just-in-time system in which suppliers are linked more closely to the manufacturing process. A random sample of 150 deliveries since the just-in-time system was installed reveals that 33 deliveries were late. If we want to test whether the proportion of late deliveries was reduced signicantly at = 0:10 the null and alternative hypotheses are a. Null hypothesis (H0) b. Alternative hypothesis (HA)
