A random sample of 22 women participated in a study testing whether a new banana boat sunscreen reduced their incident rate of sunburn during the summer. The average woman in the study reported getting burned 5.7 times over the past 3 months, with a SS = 179. Compare this incident rate to a rate of 7 times per 3 months. Use an alpha of .05, 2 tailed test.
a) What is the t-critical value(s)?
b) What is the estimated standard error?
c) Compute the t-statistic.
d) Make a decision regarding the null and provide a conclusion (explain what it means in regards to this particular study).
In a survey of 180 females who recently completed high school, 75% were enrolled in college. In a survey of 160 males who recently completed high school, 70% were enrolled in college. At α=0.07, can you reject the claim that there is no difference in the proportion of college enrollees between the two groups? Assume the random samples are independent. Complete parts (a) through (e).
Find the critical value(s) and identify the rejection region(s).
A random sample of size n = 4 taken from a normal population with σ2 = 9 is used to test H0 : µ = µ0against H1 : µ = µ1 where µ1 > µ0. e null hypothesis will be rejected if X > µ ¯0 + 2.5. Find the levelof significance of the critical region

- We plan to run a two-tailed t-test. Our sample size is 8, and we've decided upon an alpha level of 0.01. From the t-table, what is the t critical value(s)?arrow_forwardBased on a random sample of 25 units of product X, the average weight is 102 lbs., andthe sample standard deviation is 10 lbs. We would like to decide if there is enough evidenceto establish that the average weight for the population of product X is greater than 100 lbs.Assume the population is normally distributed.what is the critical value to test the claim at (alpha)= ,01?arrow_forwardTo test H0: σ=2.1versus H1: σ<2.1, a random sample of size n=21 is obtained from a population that is known to be normally distributed. If the sample standard deviation is determined to be s=1.9, compute the test statistic. χ20 If the researcher decides to test this hypothesis at the α=0.05 level of significance, determine the critical value. Draw a chi-squared distribution and depict the critical region Will the researcher reject the null hypothesis? Why? Choose the correct answer below. A. Yes,because χ20<χ20.95. B. No, because χ20<χ20.95. C.No, because χ20>χ20.95. D. Yes, because χ20>χ20.95arrow_forward
- A nationwide study of undergraduate students reported that the mean number of drinks consumed per week during the spring semester is 7.96. The mean number of drinks consumed per week at USC is 7.64 (s.d.=2.55, N=412 Health services is concerned that USC students are consuming significantly more alcohol per week than the national average. Using an alpha level of .05, Is there sufficient evidence to be concerned? Be sure to select the correct critical value for the alternative hypothesis, and then use this evidence to make your conclusionarrow_forwardSony would like to test the hypothesis that the average age of a PlayStation user (mu 1) is greater than the average age of an Xbox user (mu 2). A random sample of 36 PlayStation users had an average age of 34.2 years while a random sample of 30 Xbox users had an average age of 32.7 years. Assume that the population standard deviation for the age of PlayStation and Xbox users is 3.9 and 4.0 years, respectively. Sony would like to set alpha = 0.01. The critical value is ________ and the null hypothesis should _______. Select one: a. -2.33; be rejected. b. 2.33; not be rejected. c. 1.96; be rejected. d. 1.645; not be rejected.arrow_forwardfind the t value that form the boundaries of the critical region for a two-tailed test with alpha of .05 for n=15arrow_forward

The critical value is ______ (Round to two decimal places as needed.)arrow_forwardA snack food manufacturer estimates that the variance of the number of grams of carbohydrates in servings of its tortilla chips is 1.23. A dietician is asked to test this claim and finds that a random sample of 24 servings has a variance of 1.27. At α=0.10, is there enough evidence to reject the manufacturer's claim?

- Find the critical value t alpha/2. 99%; n=17; standard deviation is unknown; population appears to be normally distributed.arrow_forwardResearchers interested in lead exposure due to car exhaust sampled the blood of 52 police officers subjected to constant inhalation of automobile exhaust fumes while working traffic enforcement in a primarily urban environment. The blood samples of these officers had an average lead concentration of 124.32 µg/l and an SD of 37.74 µg/l; a previous study of individuals from a nearby suburb, with no history of exposure, found an average blood level concentration of 35 µg/l. Write down the hypotheses that would be appropriate for testing if the police officers appear to have been exposed to a higher concentration of lead. Explicitly state and check all conditions necessary for inference on these data. Test the hypothesis that the downtown police officers have a higher lead exposure than the group in the previous study. Interpret your results in context. Based on your preceding result, without performing a calculation, would a 99% confidence interval for the average blood concentration…arrow_forwardWe want to use a z-test to determine if the sample mean is less than 30 at alpha = 0.05.
