According to the Annual survey of drugs expenditure in country X, the annual expenditure for prescription drugs is $838 per person in the Northeast region of the country. A sample of 60 individuals in the Midwest shows a per person expenditure for prescription drugs of $745. Further, it is given that the population standard deviation of $300.
Formulate hypotheses for a test to determine whether the sample data support the conclusion that the population annual expenditure for prescription drugs per person is lower in the Midwest than in the Northeast and Identify whether it is a two-tail test or a one tail test (Left or right tail).
The null and alternate hypotheses are:
H0 : μ1 = μ2
H1 : μ1 ≠ μ2
A random sample of 8 observations from one population revealed a sample mean of 23 and a sample standard deviation of 4.6. A random sample of 8 observations from another population revealed a sample mean of 27 and a sample standard deviation of 4.6. The population standard deviations are unknown but assumed to be equal. At the 0.01 significance level, is there a difference between the population means?
a. State the decision rule.
b. Compute the pooled estimate of the population variance.
c. Compute the test statistic.
Consider the following hypothesis from a sample of 22 observations that has the value ?=2.24:
?0:?=8
??:?>8
What are the degrees of freedom for this statistic?
Give the two critical values ?∗from t Distribution table that bracket t.
Between what two values does the P-value of the test fall?
Is the value ?=2.24 statistically significant at the 5% level? Is it statistically significant at the 1% level?
