- A graduate student is interested in how viewing different types of scenes affects working memory. For his study, he selects a random sample of 36 adults. The subjects complete a series of working memory tests before and after walking in an urban setting. Before the walk, the mean score on the test of working memory was 9.1. After the walk, the mean score was 1.4 higher. The graduate student has no presupposed assumptions about how viewing different types of scenes affects working memory, so he formulates the null and alternative hypotheses as: H00 : μDD = 0 H11 : μDD ≠ 0 Assume that the data satisfy all of the required assumptions for a repeated-measures t test. The graduate student calculates the following statistics for his hypothesis test: Mean difference (MDD) 1.4 Estimated population standard deviation of the differences (s) 1.6 Estimated standard error of the mean differences (sMDMD) 0.2667 Degrees of freedom (df) 35 The t statistic 5.25 The critical values of t…arrow_forward9. In a sample of seven cars, each car was tested for nitrogen-oxide emissions (in grams per mile) and the following results were obtained: 0.19, 0.06, 0.09, 0.18, 0.18, 0.13, 0.08. Assuming that this sample is representative of the cars in use and the population is normally distributed, construct a 98% confidence interval estimate of the mean amount of nitrogen-oxide emissions for all cars. g/mi < µ <, g/mi If the EPA requires that nitrogen-oxide emissions be less than 0.165 g/mi, can we safely conclude that this requirement is being met? OA. Yes, because the confidence interval contains 0.165 g/mi. O B. Yes, we can definitely conclude that the requirement is met for all cars. O C. No, because the confidence interval does not contain 0.165 g/mi. O D. No, it is possible that the requirement is being met, but it is also very possible that the mean is not less than 0.165 g/mi.arrow_forwardIn an engineering class, students want to determine the difference in the mean strength between two different types of building materials—Type A, which is relatively inexpensive, and Type B, which is slightly more expensive. The students take a random sample of 60 of the Type A building material and a random sample of 27 of the Type B building material. Given the mean strength for each sample, the students construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference in population means. (a) Determine the degrees of freedom for the conservative approach for finding the t critical value. (b) Find the t critical value associated with 95% confidence. (Use a table or SALT.
