(a) Conduct a two-sample t test to test if the average battery life for an iPad is different from
the average life for a Kindle Fire. Provide the output below starting at the Yellow highlighted
cell. Use 1% significance level.
(b) Compute a 99% confidence interval for the difference in the average battery life for an iPad
and the average life for a Kindle Fire. Provide your final anwers in the yellow highlighted cells

Use the sign test with a 0.10 significance level to test the null hypothesis of no difference. Question content area bottom Part 1 Let η1 denote the median of the first variable and η2 denote the median of the second variable. What are the null and alternative hypotheses?arrow_forwardResearchers conducted a study to determine the effects of different types of alcohol on the peak alcohol concentration. In one part of the study, the researchers gave 15 randomly select males a controlled volume of vodka and monitored the subjects' alcohol concentration following the period of consumption. The legal limit for driving is 80 mg/dL (milligrams per deciliter of blood). A hypothesis test was conducted to see if the mean peak alcohol concentration from drinking vodka was different from the legal driving limit. This was reflected in the null and alternative hypotheses ?0:??1:?=80 mg/dL≠80 mg/dL The researchers required their results to be statistically significant at a level of ?=0.10. The mean peak alcohol concentration of the participants after drinking a controlled volume of vodka was 77.4 mg/dL with a standard deviation of 17.25 mg/dL. Determine the confidence interval that corresponds to the ?‑test. Give the lower and upper bounds precise to two decimal placesarrow_forward

State the null and alternative hypotheses in the test for the effect of an interaction between row and column factors. Ho: There interaction between gender and age. H₁: There interaction between gender and age. What is the value of the test statistic for this test? O B. Ho: The row values are from populations with the same standard deviation. H₁: At least one of the rows is sampled from a population with a standard deviation different from the others. F= (Round to two decimal places as needed.)

- I need help finding the test statistic (part b) and finding the p-value (part c)arrow_forwardYou may need to use the appropriate technology to answer this question. Is there any difference in the variability in golf scores for players on a women's professional golf tour and players on a men's professional golf tour? A sample of 20 tournament scores from events in a tour for women showed a standard deviation of 2.4671 strokes, and a sample of 30 tournament scores from events in a tour for men showed a standard deviation of 2.2182. Conduct a hypothesis test for equal population variances to determine if there is any statistically significant difference in the variability of golf scores for male and female professional golfers. Use a = 0.10. State the null and alternative hypotheses. Ho: Find the value of the test statistic. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) Find the p-value.

- Cadmium, a heavy metal, is toxic to animals. Mushrooms, however, are able to absorb and accumulate cadmium at high concentrations. Some governments have a safety limit for cadmium in dry vegetables at 0.56 part per million (ppm). A research team measured the cadmium levels in a random sample of edible mushrooms, where the hypothesis test is to decide whether the mean cadmium level in the sample is greater than the governments' safety limit. The null and alternative hypotheses are H0: μ=0.56 ppm, Ha: μ>0.56 ppm. Complete parts (a) through (e) below. d. Now suppose that the results of carrying out the hypothesis test lead to nonrejection of the null hypothesis. Classify that conclusion by error type or as a correct decision if in fact the mean cadmium level in that type of mushrooms equals the safety limit of 0.56 ppm. Choose the correct answer below.

What is the decision for this hypothesis test? Reject the null because the absolute value of the test statistic is greater than the critical value and the p-value is less than alpha. Fail to reject the null because the absolute value of the test statistic is less than the critical value and the p-value is greater than alpha.
