A random sample of 25 college males was obtained and each was asked to report their actual height and what they wished as their ideal height. A 95% confidence interval for _µ_d = average difference between their ideal and actual heights was 0.8" to 2.2". Based on this interval, which one of the null hypotheses below (versus a two-sided alternative) can be rejected? Select one: a. H0: µd = 2.0 b. H0: µd = 1.0 c. H0: µd = 1.5 d. H0: µd = 0.5

A new cream that advertises that it can reduce wrinkles and improve skin was subject to a recent study. A sample of 68 women over the age of 50 used the new cream for 6 months. Of those 68 women, 39 of them reported skin improvement(as judged by a dermatologist). Is this evidence that the cream will improve the skin of more than 40% of women over the age of 50? Test using a= 0.05 (a) Test statistic: z= (b) The final conclusion is...A. There is not sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis that p=0.4 . That is, there is not sufficient evidence to reject that the cream can improve the skin of more than 40% of women over 50.B. We can reject the null hypothesis that p=0.4 and accept that p>0.4. That is, the cream can improve the skin of more than 40% of women over 50.
A particular brand of petrol was used in 85 randomly chosen cars of the same model and age. The petrol consumption, x miles per gallon, was obtained for each car. The results are summarized by ∑x=1965 and ∑x2=45959. Calculate a 99% confidence interval for the mean petrol consumption of all cars of this model and age.
A biology student measured the ear lengths of an SRS of 10 Mountain cottontail rabbits, and an SRS of 10 Holland lop rabbits. The ear lengths for the two samples are listed in the two tables attached (see attached image). (a) Calculate a 95% confidence interval for the difference in mean ear lengths between Mountain cottontail rabbits and Holland lop rabbits. Make sure to define which is “µ1” and which is “µ2.” (You can complete the calculations either by hand or using R, but remember to show all your work.) (b) Do Holland lop rabbits have longer ears on average than Mountain cottontail rabbits? Carry out a test of significance to answer this question. Show your work at each step. Don’t forget to state the hypotheses at the start (making sure to define all parameters), and to include a conclusion in terms of the original problem. (You can complete the calculations either by hand or using R, but remember to show all your work.)
