In a neighborhood of 150 homes, a survey of 45 homes found that the average number of pets was 2.1 (SD=0.75). The city-wide average for neighborhoods is 2.5 pets. Find the critical value of t and the value of t we obtain (or observe) presuming a 2-tailed test. Also, calculate the effect size.

A researcher did a one-tailed one-sample t-test to test the hypothesis that babies prefer the color blue over the color red. He collected a sample of 26 babies and presented them with a red plastic star and a blue plastic start for 12 seconds. The researcher measured the amount of time each baby spent watching the blue star out of the 12 seconds. What is the critical t value, assuming the alpha level used was .05?
A nationwide study of undergraduate students reported that the mean number of drinks consumed per week during the spring semester is 7.96. 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
As we have noted in previous chapters, even a very small effect can be significant if the sample is large enough. Suppose, for example, that a researcher obtains a correlation (computed from the raw data) of r = 0.60 for a sample of n = 10 participants. (4 pts. total) Is this sample sufficient to conclude that a significant correlation exists in the population? Use a two-tailed test with α = .05. In your response, be sure to specify the critical value for r.
A random sample of 22 women participated in a study testing whether a new banana boat sunscreen reduced their incident rate of sunburn during the summer. The average woman in the study reported getting burned 5.7 times over the past 3 months, with a SS = 179. Compare this incident rate to a rate of 7 times per 3 months. Use an alpha of .05, 2 tailed test. a) What is the t-critical value(s)? b) What is the estimated standard error? c) Compute the t-statistic. d) Make a decision regarding the null and provide a conclusion (explain what it means in regards to this particular study).
if alpha is 1%, find the critical value (z-score)
A research center claims that at least 2626% of adults in a certain country think that their taxes will be audited. In a random sample of 900900 adults in that country in a recent year, 2323% say they are concerned that their taxes will be audited. At alphaαequals=0.100.10, is there enough evidence to reject the center's claim? Complete parts (a) through (e) below. Identify the critical values
A researcher wants to test if the average performance of a new teaching method is different from the traditional teaching method in a sample of 25 students. The researcher used the Wilcoxon Signed-Ranks Test and obtained a T-value of 43. What can be concluded from the test result?
A z-score of –1.6 has a corresponding Stanine score of:
Find the critical value, the computed t-value, and whether to reject or accept the null hypothesis.
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?
Data from the Motor Vehicle Department indicate that 80% of all licensed drivers are older than age 25. In a sample of n=50 people who recently received speeding tickets, 33 were older than 25 years and the other 17 were age 25 or younger. Is the age distribution for this sample significantly different from the distribution for the population of licensed drivers? Use alpha=0.5. A. what is the proposed analysis and why you chose this? B. Test assumptions and make a decision with evidence? C. Inferential statics and P values? D. Final decision and Conclusion?
