Reading speed and accuracy were combined into a readability performance score (x), where a higher score represents better font readability. a. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that there is no significant difference in readability between Roman and Arial fonts. b. Construct the 95% confidence interval for testing the claim in part a. Roman: 1 24n= 66.25x= 12.96s= Arial: 1 24n= 65.62x= 9.93s=

(c) Rashid carried out pyrolysis of sawdust in a semi-batch reactor and obtained replicates of measurement under the same conditions in order to test the precision of the method. The recorded values for biochar are 22.23, 22.18, 22.25, 22.09, and 22.17 wt%. Using a suitable test, analyze whether the value of 22.09 wt% is a valid measurement at a 95% confidence level?
In a study of government financial aid for college students, it becomes necessary to estimate the percentage of full-time college students who earn a bachelor's degree in four years or less. Find the sample size needed to estimate that percentage. Use a 0.03 margin of error and use a confidence level 90%.
A social worker was interested in determining whether there is a significant difference in the average monthly cost per child for childcare outside the home between state supported facilities and privately owned facilities. Two independent random samples were selected yielding the following information. State supported Facilities Privately owned Facilities Sample Size 64 64 Sample Mean 725 675 Sample Standard Deviation 95 80 Based on the 90% confidence interval for the true mean difference in average cost of children (state supported - privately owned), can one conclude that there is a difference in the average cost of children between the state supported facilities and privately owned facilities? Group of answer choices A. 90% CI is (-7.28, 52.72). One can conclude that there is a difference in the average cost of childcare between the state supported facilities and privately owned facilities. B. 90% CI is (-7.28, 52.72). One can conclude that there is no…
Two types of flares are tested and their burning times are recorded. The summary statistics are given below. Brand X Brand Y n = 35 n = 40 x= 19.4 min x= 15.1 min s= 1.4 min s= 0.8 min Construct a 95% confidence interval for the differences between the mean burning time of the brand X flare and the mean burning time of the brand Y flare.

In a study of government financial aid for college students, it becomes necessary to estimate the percentage of full-time college students who earn a bachelor's degree in four years or less. Find the sample size needed to estimate that percentage. Use a 0.03 margin of error and use a confidence level of 95%. Assume prior studies have shown that about 40% of full-time students earn bachelor's degrees in four years or less.
A national poll asked, “how would you describe your job situation now compared to before the Covid-19 outbreak??” The results showed that 24% of workers in the U.S. report having a worse job situation now compared to before the COVID-19 outbreak began with a margin of error of 1.8%. (a) Assume the margin of error is reported for a 95% confidence interval, use this information to calculate a 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of persons who have a worse job situation now compared to before the outbreak. (b) Based on the calculated confidence interval, is there evidence that at least 1 out of every 4 (25%) Americans have a worse job situation not compared to before the outbreak? Explain why briefly. (c) What was the sample size of this poll? (d) If you wanted a 99% confidence interval for the same study, would your margin of error be greater than, equal to, or less than 1.8%?
The National Association of Home Builders provided data on the cost of the most popular home remodeling projects. Sample data on cost in thousands of dollars for two types of remodeling projects are as follows. a) Develop a point estimate of the difference between the population mean remodeling costs for the two types of projects.b) Develop a 90% confidence interval for the difference between the two population means.
A physician wants to develop criteria for determining whether a patient’spulse rate is atypical, and she wants to determine whether there are significant differences betweenmales and females. Use the data contained in the sheet corresponding to pulse rates in the attached Excel file and- Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the mean pulse rate for males. - Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the mean pulse rate for females.- Compare the preceding results. Can we conclude that the population means for males andfemales are different? Why or why not?
