If X1 and X2 constitute a random sample of size n = 2from an exponential population, find the efficiency of 2Y1relative to X, where Y1 is the first order statistic and 2Y1and X are both unbiased estimators of the parameter
The average effect size in social psychology is around d = 0.21. Conventionally, a sample over 30individuals is considered 'large.' If we are running an experiment for which we will perform atwo-tailed test t-test and we have 30 individuals in each of the two conditions, what is ourpredicted power? (use the standard alpha)
The desired percentage of SiO2 in a certain type of aluminous cement is 5.5. To test whether the true average percentage is 5.5 for a particular production facility, 16 independently obtained samples are analyzed. Suppose that the percentage of SiO2 in a sample is normally distributed with ? = 0.32 and that x = 5.21. (Use ? = 0.05.)
(a) Does this indicate conclusively that the true average percentage differs from 5.5?State the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses.
H0: ? = 5.5Ha: ? ≠ 5.5H0: ? = 5.5Ha: ? ≥ 5.5 H0: ? = 5.5Ha: ? < 5.5H0: ? = 5.5Ha: ? > 5.5
Calculate the test statistic and determine the P-value. (Round your test statistic to two decimal places and your P-value to four decimal places.)

Using the information provided in the SPSS output. You are asked to make a decision about whether to reject the null hypothesis that the population value of gamma equals 0 (i.e., that there is no ordinary association in the population between frequency of prayer and health). If alpha = 0.05 and you use a non-directional alternative hypothesis, which of the following is true?)
A. Since the p-value is larger than alpha, you do not reject the null hypothesis
B. Since the p-value is less than alpha, you do not reject the null hypothesis
C. Since the p-value is larger than alpha, you reject the null hypothesis.
D. Since the p-value is less than alpha, you reject the null hypothesis

Dr. Chapman conducted an experiment in which participants watched paint dry for 30 minutes twice, once being paid $1 and once being paid $30. When comparing the samples, he calculated t = 3.57. He assumed α = .01 with df = 5, so the tcv = ±4.032. Because the calculated value was:
A. greater than the critical value, Dr. Chapman can reject the null hypothesis.
B. greater than the critical value, Dr. Chapman failed to reject the null hypothesis.
C. less than the critical value, Dr. Chapman failed to reject the null hypothesis.
D. less than the critical value, Dr. Chapman can reject the null hypothesis.
