For a left tail hypothesis test with a sample size of 10 and a .10 level of significance, the critical value of the test statistic t is   a. -1.833.   b. -1.383.   c. -1.812.   d. -1.372.

In 2005, Health Canada claimed that 16.9% of Canadian adults are obese. A researcher wanted to check whether this percentage has changed in 2009. In 2009, he randomly selected 90 Canadian adults and found 12 of them are obese. Use a 7% significance level. The decision rule is either       Reject Ho if Zcalc > 1.48     Reject Ho if Zcalc > 1.81     Reject H0 if Zcalc < -1.81 or Zcalc > 1.81     Reject H0 if Zcalc < -1.48 or Zcalc > 1.48

a. 14.0, 16.3, 18.7, 19.9, 21.3       b. 16.1, 13.4, 13.6, 14.9, 14.1, 10.5 Construct the 95% confidence interval for the difference in u of the two given samples.

A hypothesis regarding the weight of newborn infants at a community hospital is that the mean is 6.6 pounds. A sample of seven infants is randomly selected and their weights at birth are recorded as 9.0, 7.3, 6.0, 8.8, 6.8, 8.4, and 6.6 pounds. When evaluated using the 5% level of significance, what is the decision and interpretation of the null hypothesis?  Show all steps.

A shareholders' group is lodging a protest against your company. The shareholders group claimed that the mean tenure for a chief exective office (CEO) was at least 11 years. A survey of 62 companies reported in The Wall Street Journal found a sample mean tenure of 9.3 years for CEOS with a standard deviation of s = 4.4 years (The Wall Street Journal, January 2, 2007). You don't know the population standard deviation but can assume it is normally distributed. You want to formulate and test a hypothesis that can be used to challenge the validity of the claim made by the group, at a significance level of a = 0.05. Your hypotheses are: H.:µ > 11 На: :и < 11 What is the test statistic for this sample?

The coach of a very popular men’s basketball team claims that the average distance the fans travel to the campus to watch a game is 35 miles. The team members feel otherwise. A sample of 16 fans who travel to games was randomly selected and yielded a mean of M= 36 miles and s= 5 miles. Test the coach’s claim at the 5% (.05) level of significance.    one-tailed or two-tailed test:  State the hypotheses: df= tα or t value for the critical region =  sM =    t (test statistic)= Decision:

A physician who specialized in weight control has three different plans he recommends. TTISIT As an experiment, he randomly selected 12 patients and then assigned 4 to each diet. After three weeks, the following weight losses, in pounds, were noted. Plan A Plan B Plan C 15 15 19 16 17 19 Grand Mean=17 14 19 21 15 17 17 Mean 2=17 Mean 3=19 Mean1=15 Use 0.05 significance level, to test if the plans are different. Question: Calculate the following, only: The SStotal, the SSE, the SST, dfT, dfE, VarT, VarE, and the test statistic F. Note: Write the details of your calculations for the Sum of Squares, only, and the final Result for the others. Type your answers on the Response Template. (without the formulas).
