In order to determine if the average bacteria content of southern flowing streams is less than the average bacteria content of northern flowing streams, independent random samples of 28 southern flowing streams and 35 northern flowing streams were taken. Given the testing statistics below, determine if the data provides sufficient evidence to conclude that the average bacteria content of southern flowing streams is less than the average bacteria content of northern flowing streams, at the 5% significance level. H0:μs≥μn Ha:μs<μn t0=−0.108 t0.05=−1.999 Select the correct answer below: No; the test statistic is less than the critical value. Yes; the test statistic is greater than the critical value. No; the test statistic is greater than the critical value. Yes; the test statistic is less than the critical value.

In a test of the effectiveness of garlic for lowering cholesterol, 41 senior citizens were treated with garlic in a processed tablet form. Cholesterol levels were measured before and after the treatment. The changes in their levels of LDL cholesterol (in mg/dL) have an average (mean) of 3.8. Identify the sample, the population, the sample statistic, and the population parameter in this study.
One company produces premium grade carbon steel for Katana Sword manufacturers. Two different analytical methods were used to detect the contamination level of the carbon steel in 8 random specimensFrom the table provided, Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that tests differ in the mean contamination level use? α = 0.01?
Three adhesives are being analysed for their impact on the bonding strength of paper in a pulp and paper mill. The adhesives are each randomly applied to four batches. The data is shown in Table 2. Here, the three treatments are the adhesives (p=3) and the number of replications for each treatment is 4 (r=4). Is there a difference among the adhesives in terms of the mean bonding strength? Test at the 5% significance level. Given F0.05,2,9 = 4.26 Adhesive Bonding strength (kg) type Adhesive 1 10.2 11.8 Adhesive 2 12.8 14.7 Adhesive 3 7.2 9.8 Table 2 Bonding strength data 9.6 13.3 8.7 12.4 15.4 9.2
Unfortunately, arsenic occurs naturally in some ground water. A mean arsenic level of u = 8 parts per billion (ppb) is considered safe for agricultural use. A well in Los Banos is used to water cotton crops. This well is tested on a regular basis for arsenic. A random sample of 37 tests gave a sample mean of = 7.3ppb arsenic. It is known that o = 1.9 ppb for this type of data. Does this information indicate that the mean level of arsenic in this well is less than 8 ppb? Use the classical approach. Use a = 0.01 What is the Decision (step 5) for this problem? There is not sufficient evidence at the 0.01 level of significance to show the mean arsenic level in the Los Banos well is less than 7.3 ppb. O There is sufficient evidence at the 0.01 level of significance to show the mean arsenic level in the Los Banos well is less than 8.0 ppb. There is not sufficient evidence at the 0.01 level of significance to show the mean arsenic level in the Los Banos well is less than 8.0 ppb. O There is…
A school nurse wants to determine if there is a significant relationship between the height and weight of students. The table below shows the height and weight given in cm and kg, respectively, of 10 students in a class. Test the hypothesis using 0.05 level of significance. Then, if possible, predict the estimated weight of a 180 cm-tall student.
Two types of valves are being tested to determine if there is a difference inpressure tolerances. Fifteen out of a random sample of 100 of Valve Acracked under 4,500 psi. Six out of a random sample of 100 of Valve Bcracked under 4,500 psi. Test at a 5% level of significance.
A county environmental agency suspects that the fish in a particular polluted lake have elevated mercury levels. To confirm that suspicion, five striped basses in that lake were caught and their tissues were tested for mercury. For the purpose of comparison, four striped basses in an unpolluted lake were also caught and tested. The fish tissue mercury levels in mg/kg are given below. Sample I(From Polluted Lake) 0.523 0.723 0.523 0.623 0.523 Sample II(From Unpolluted Lake) 0.323 0.223 0.523 0.323 0.000 (a) Construct the 95% confidence interval for the difference in the population means based on these data. (b) Test, at the 5% level of significance, whether the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that fish in the polluted lake have elevated levels of mercury in their tissue.
