Chapter 9.1, Problem 14E
For Exercises 5 through 16, perform each of the following steps.
a. State the hypotheses and identify the claim.
b. Find the critical value(s).
c. Compute the test value.
d. Make the decision.
e. Summarize the results.
14. Monthly Social Security Benefits The average monthly Social Security benefit for a specific year for retired workers was $954.90 and for disabled workers was $894.10. Researchers used data from the Social Security records to test the claim that the difference in monthly benefits between the two groups was greater than $30. Based on the following information, can the researchers’ claim be supported at the 0.05 level of significance?

The manager of the cosmetics section of a large department store wants to determine whether newspaper advertising really does affect sales. For her experiment, she randomly selects 15 items currently in stock and proceeds to establish a baseline. The 15 items are priced at their usual competitive values, and the quantity of each item sold for a 1-week period is recorded. Then, without changing their price, she places a large ad in the newspaper, advertising the 15 items. Again, she records the quantity sold for a 1-week period. The results follow.

- As noted on page 275, when the two population means are equal, the estimated standard error for the indepen- dent-measures t test provides a measure of how much difference to expect between two sample means. For each of the following situations, assume that m1 5 m2 and calculate how much difference should be expected between the two sample means. One sample has n 5 6 scores with SS 5 70 and the second sample has n 5 10 scores with SS 5 140. One sample has n 5 6 scores with SS 5 310 and the second sample has n 5 10 scores with SS 5 530.

Using ?=0.05α=0.05, construct a hypothesis test with null hypothesis ?≤90μ≤90 and alternative hypothesis ?>90μ>90 to determine whether the mean repellency of the new bug repellent is greater than 9090 by computing the following: (a) the degree of freedom (b) the test statistic The final conclusion is A. There is not sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis that ?≤90μ≤90. Our results do not provide enough evidence that the new bug repellent is effective. B. We can reject the null hypothesis that ?≤90μ≤90. Our results indicate that…arrow_forward
