given normally distributed sample x=12 and s=3, use the Empirical Rule determine the upper and lower bounds to contain approximately 95% of your data
Assume that you have a sample of n1=8, with the sample mean X1=44, and a sample standard deviation of S1=5, and you have an independent sample of n2=14 from another population with a sample mean of X2=30 and the sample standard deviation S2=6.

H0: μ1≤ μ2
against the alternative H1: μ1>μ2?
The critical value is ______
(Round to two decimal places as needed.)

- In Exercises 5–20, assume that the two samples are independent simple random samples selected from normally distributed populations, and do not assume that the population standard deviations are equal. (Note: Answers in Appendix D include technology answers based on Formula 9-1 along with “Table” answers based on Table A-3 with df equal to the smaller of n1 − 1 and n2 − 1.) Car and Taxi Ages When the author visited Dublin, Ireland (home of Guinness Brewery employee William Gosset, who first developed the t distribution), he recorded the ages of randomly selected passenger cars and randomly selected taxis. The ages can be found from the license plates. (There is no end to the fun of traveling with the author.) The ages (in years) are listed below. We might expect that taxis would be newer, so test the claim that the mean age of cars is greater than the mean age of taxis.arrow_forwardTest the claim that the proportion of people who own cats is larger than 60% at the 0.05 significance level.The null and alternative hypothesis would be: H0:μ≤0.6H0:μ≤0.6H1:μ>0.6H1:μ>0.6 H0:p≤0.6H0:p≤0.6H1:p>0.6H1:p>0.6 H0:μ≥0.6H0:μ≥0.6H1:μ<0.6H1:μ<0.6 H0:p=0.6H0:p=0.6H1:p≠0.6H1:p≠0.6 H0:p≥0.6H0:p≥0.6H1:p<0.6H1:p<0.6 H0:μ=0.6H0:μ=0.6H1:μ≠0.6H1:μ≠0.6 The test is: two-tailed left-tailed right-tailed Based on a sample of 200 people, 69% owned catsThe p-value is: (to 2 decimals)Based on this we: Reject the null hypothesis Fail to reject the null hypothesisarrow_forwardTest the claim that the proportion of people who own cats is smaller than 50% at the 0.01 significance level.The null and alternative hypothesis would be: H0:p≥0.5H0:p≥0.5Ha:p<0.5Ha:p<0.5 H0:μ=0.5H0:μ=0.5Ha:μ≠0.5Ha:μ≠0.5 H0:μ≤0.5H0:μ≤0.5Ha:μ>0.5Ha:μ>0.5 H0:p≤0.5H0:p≤0.5Ha:p>0.5Ha:p>0.5 H0:p=0.5H0:p=0.5Ha:p≠0.5Ha:p≠0.5 H0:μ≥0.5H0:μ≥0.5Ha:μ<0.5Ha:μ<0.5 The test is: left-tailed two-tailed right-tailed Based on a sample of 100 people, 49% owned catsThe test statistic is: (Round to 2 decimals)The p-value is: (Round to 2 decimals)Based on this we:arrow_forward
