10) The Baldwin Piano Company has long argued that their method of teaching people to play the piano is superior to that of its competitors. To estimate any difference in the length of time required to learn the basic techniques, as the new staff analyst for Baldwin, you select 100 students who used your method and find the mean time was 159 hours with s 38.6 hours for your method. In a sample of 120 students using a competitor's method, the mean was 184 hours with s 58.6. a) Construct a 99% confidence interval for the difference in means.

You are comparing data from two similar experiments that have a mean of 53. Experiment A has a standard deviation of 3.4 and experiment B has a standard deviation of 1.5. What does this tell you about the data in the experiments?

Please help me solve this.

A music fan claims that R&B songs and Rap songs differ in terms of their positivity.  The individual collected two independent random samples from the population of all songs on Spotify.  Fifteen R&B songs and another fifteen Rap songs were collected and their Valence was recorded.  Remember, the variable Valence is measured on a 0 to 1 scale.  Songs with high valence sound more positive (e.g. happy, cheerful, euphoric), while songs with low valence sound more negative (e.g. sad, depressed, angry). We will subtract (R&B – Rap) and use the 10% significance level.  Assume the Central Limit Theorem conditions hold.  The data set is called RBRapSample31.  Please import the data set into Rguroo or find it in our group.   Define the population parameter in context and symbols in one sentence.   State the hypotheses you would use to test the claim that a difference exists in the mean Valence between R&B and Rap songs using correct notation.

You are a big soccer fan and you decide to gather information on the goal differential (goals scored - goals allowed) for your favorite team in the Premier League during the last season. You find that the average goal differential for home games (games that take place on the team's own stadium) was 1.37 and the average goal differential for away games (games that take place on the opponent team's stadium) was 0.32. With the data you have, if you regress goal differential (call it variable G) on a dummy variable (call it variable D) that takes the value 1 if the game is a home game and takes the value zero if the game is an away game, and obtain Ĝi = Bo + B₁ D₁, then, Bo will be equal to equal to and ₁ will be

A study was undertaken to see how accurate food labeling for calories on food that is considered reduced calorie. The group measured the amount of calories for each item of food and then found the percent difference between the measured and labeled amount of calories. The group also looked at food that was nationally advertised, regionally distributed, or locally prepared. Do the data indicate that at least one of the mean percent differences between the three groups is different from the others? The data is summarized in the table below. National Mean Standard Deviation Sample Size Local -2.1 Regional 27.1667 143.125 Fill in the hypotheses below: Ho: Select an answer Ha: Select an answer 10.3257 20.797 53.5922 20 12 8

A Verizon researcher compared the number of text messages sent by a sample of teenage boys to the population mean for all Verizon users. She found no evidence to conclude that there was a difference. Unfortunately, her conclusion was in error. (a) What type of error did she make? (b) What conclusion should she have reached?

The blue catfish (Ictalurus Furcatus) is the largest species of North American catfish. The current world record stands at 143 pounds, which was caught in the John H. Kerr Reservoir (Bugg's Island Lake) located in Virginia. According to American Expedition, the average weight of a blue catfish is between 20 to 40 pounds. Given that the largest blue catfish ever caught was at the John H. Kerr Reservoir, you believe that the mean weight of the fish in this reservoir is greater than 40 pounds. Use the data below, which represents the summary statistics for 42 blue catfish caught at this reservoir, and a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the mean weight of the fish in the John H. Kerr Reservoir is greater than 40 pounds. n=42;  ¯x=40.63 pounds;  s=3.49 pounds a) Identify the null and alternative hypotheses?H0:               H1: c) Identify the appropriate significance level.d) Calculate your test statistic. Write the result below, and be sure to round your final answer to two…

Warren wants to know if the amount of coffee that you drink is related to the number of hours that you stay awake. He recruits 50 participants using random sampling to report how much coffee they drank and the time of the day that they went to sleep. He then performs a correlation to determine the association between the amount of coffee that was consumed and the number of hours that they stayed awake. There was a statistically significant positive correlation between amount of coffee that participants drank and the number of hours that they stayed awake, r(49) = .82, p < .05, two-tailed, r2 = .08. This was a small effect – 8% of the variance in the amount of coffee drank is explained by hours that you stay awake (and vice versa).

A medical doctor is interested in determining whether mean body temperatures are different in the morning and at night. Five patients were recruited and their body temperatures were measured first at 8 AM and then again at 10 PM. The data is in the following table: Patient 1 2 4 Morning Night 98.0 97.6 97.2 97.0 98.0 97.0 98.8 97.6 97.7 98.8 For this matched pairs experiment, you should take the differences by calculating: Morning - Night. Also, you may use the fact that the sample standard deviation of 44/V5 the differences is 0.844 and that 0.844 0.3774. What is the test statistic for the test? Round your final answer to two decimals. Next Page Page 5 of 15 126 53 1. NOV 18
