- following my given data and try to solve thisarrow_forwardResearchers wanted to determine whether fence lizards learned to avoid fire ants. To determine this, they gathered lizards from eastern Arkansas (where there were no fire ants), and from southern Alabama (which had been invaded by fire ants). The lizards were then exposed to fire ants, and researchers measured how long (in seconds) it took the lizards to flee. Suppose that mu_I is the average time to flee for a lizard that lives in the invaded areas in Alabama, and mu_U is the average time to flee for a lizard living in the uninvaded areas of Arkansas. When the data is loaded into the correct tool in StatKey, and the "Generate 1000 samples" button is clicked, here is what StatKey generates:- see image. The researchers observed that the lizards from Alabama had an average response time of 32 seconds, and the lizards from Arkansas had an average response time of 44 seconds. Using this, which of the following is closest to the P-value for this hypothesis test? What conclusions can we make…arrow_forwardResearchers wanted to determine whether fence lizards learned to avoid fire ants.

Suppose that mu_I is the average time to flee for a lizard that lives in the invaded areas in Alabama, and mu_U is the average time to flee for a lizard living in the uninvaded areas of Arkansas. The researchers are interested in understanding if lizards from invaded areas are faster to flee when exposed to ants. What should they use for their hypotheses? H0:μI−μU= HA:μI−μU What are the hypothesis and null hypothesis answers? And how did you get the hypothesis and null hypothesis without any numbers?arrow_forward
- For two independent lives age 40, you are given that mu40(t) = 80-t for t< 60. Calculate Var(T40:40).arrow_forwardIndependent surveys show that the average IQ of 9 r/s babies exposed to cocaine in the uterus is 81 with s.d. 18, while the average IQ of 20 r/s babies unexposed to cocaine in the uterus is 99 with s.d. 9. Construct a 90% c.i. for the difference between the overall average IQs of exposed and unexposed babies. Assume that both populations are normal.arrow_forwardSeveral surveys in the United States and Europe have asked people to rate their happiness on a scale of 3 = "very happy," 2 = "fairly happy," and 1 = "not too happy," and then tried to correlate the answer with the person's income. For those in one income group (making $25,000 to $55,000) it was found that their "happiness" was approximately given by y = 0.065x − 0.613, where x is in thousands of dollars.† Find the reported "happiness" of a person with the following incomes (rounding your answers to one decimal place). (a) $25,000 b) $30,000 c) $45,000arrow_forward
- Which of the following describes a spurious relationship between X, Y, and Z? Select one: a. Z causes X, which causes Y b. Z has no effect on the relationship between X and Y c. Z causes both X and Y d. X causes Z, which causes Yarrow_forwardSolve the following showing clear stepsarrow_forwardBefore calculating the exact x value with 72% of the values less than it, we are certain that x is _______.
