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?
To evaluate the effect of a treatment, one sample of n=8 is obtained from a population with population mean: u=40 and the treatment is administered to the individuals in the sample. After treatment, the sample mean is found to be M=35. 1. If the sample variance is s^2=32, are the data sufficient to conclude that the treatment has a significant effect using a two-tailed test with alpha=.05? (show work please, and state both experimental and statistical hypotheses, and state your decision regarding the H0. (all 4 steps of hypothesis test) 2a. If the sample variance is s^2=72, are the data sufficient to conclude that the treatment has a significant effect using a two-tailed test with alpha=.05? (please show your work and state your decision regarding the H0.) 2b. Calculate Effect size by using r^2 (percentage of variance explained) and state the meaning of effect size.
A sample of size 11 produced a variance of 18. Is this sufficient to reject the null hypothesis that σ2 = 6 when tested using a 0.05 level of significance?
Dr. Luo hypothesizes that wives are happier than their husbands. She measured a group of married couples’ marital happiness and the data are as follows: couple Wives Husbands 1 98  93 2 94  90 3 96 95 4 91 92 5 97 95 6 97 91 a. Are wives significantly happier than their husbands in the marriage? Use alpha = .05.   b. If Dr. Luo decided to reject the null hypothesis (assuming she was completely correct in calculations), what is the probability that she made a Type I error?
The makers of Duracell batteries want to demonstrate that their size AA battery lasts longer than Duracell’s main competitor, the Energizer. Two independent random samples of 100 batteries of each kind are selected. The sample average lives for Duracell and Energizer batteries are found to be X ̄1 = 308 minutes and X ̄2 = 254 minutes with S1 = 84 minutesand S2 = 67 minutes. Is there evidence to substantiate Duracell’s claim that its batterieslast, on an average, longer than Energizer of the same size? Find 95% confidence intervaland make your decision. Given the decision from CI, can you write the p-value range incomparison with α = 0.025?
To test H0: σ=2.2 versus H1: σ>2.2, a random sample of size n=24 is obtained from a population that is known to be normally distributed. (a) If the sample standard deviation is determined to be s=2.9, compute the test statistic. (b) If the researcher decides to test this hypothesis at the α=0.05 level of significance, use technology to determine the P-value. (c) Will the researcher reject the null hypothesis?
If the null hypothesis Ho : mean = 17.0 is rejected at alpha = 0.01 when a mean of 21.0 is obtained from a random sample, ?
An auto manufacture claims that the variance of the gas mileages in a model of hybrid vehicle is 0.16. A random sample of 30 vehicles has a varience of 0.26. At a=0.05 is there enough evidence to reject the claim??
An electrical engineer wishes to determine if, among two specific municipal buildings in town, Building “North” and Building “South”, whether the tensile strength of pipes (in psi) is not the same in each of these two buildings. A sample of pipes was chosen at random from both Building “North” and Building “South”, respectively. Using α = 0.05, which of the following statistical test, or parameter, would be best for determining whether tensile strength of pipes (in psi) is not the same in each of these two buildings? (Assume all statistical assumptions met.) a) Binomial Distribution b) Population Difference in Means (i.e., Unpaired Data) c) The Chi-Squared Test of Independence d) Population Mean Difference (i.e., Paired Data)
Over the past 30 years, the sample standard deviations of the rates of return for stock X and Stock Y were 0.20 and 0.12, respectively. The sample covariance between the returns of X and Y is 0.0096. When testing whether the correlation coefficient differs from zero, the value of the test statistic is t28 = 2.31. At the 5% significance level, the critical value is t0.025,28 = 2.048. The conclusion to the hypothesis test is A. to reject H0; we can conclude that the correlation coefficient differs from zero B. to reject H0; we cannot conclude that the correlation coefficient differs from zero C. do not reject H0; we can conclude that the correlation coefficient differs from zero D. do not reject H0; we cannot conclude that the correlation coefficient differs from zero
In an experiment, the first sample with n1 = 10 has a standard deviation of s1 = 0.5. The second sample with n2 = 8 has a standard deviation s2 = 0.7.Determine the 98% confidence interval for (s_1/2)/(s_2/2) which is the ratio of the population variance. the random sample with sizes n1 = 16 and n2 = 25 respectively were taken from two normal populations. the vairance for both samples were s21 = 48 and S22 = 26 respectively. using an appropriate hypothesis, carry out a test to determine whether the variance from the first population is higher than the variance from the second population. use \alpha = 0.05
Use the result of Exercise 45 to show that, if n independent random variables Xi have normal distribu-tions with the means μi and the standard deviations σi, then Y = a1X1 + a2X2 +···+ anXn has a normal dis-tribution. What are the mean and the variance of this distribution?
