34b)Consider using a homoscedastic t-test to determine whether two populations have the same mean. If the sample sizes are both 7 and the sample variances are 5, what is the minimum difference between the sample means we would need to observe to decide that the population means are significantly different at an overall p<0.05 level?

which of the following excel functions would you use to answer this question "Is the number if applications accepted for public colleges/universities the same as for private colleges/universities?" Options: 1) t-test: paired two sample for means 2) t-test: two sample assuming equal variances 3) t-test: two sample assumung unequal variances 4) z-test: two sample for means
There are some temperature measurements of this month in San Francisco and Fresno. The sample size in San Fransico is 23 and the sample size in Fresno is 17. The sample means and variances were computed and tabulated in the following table: Sample Size Sample Mean (oF) Sample Variance (oF) San Francisco 30 75.5 4 Fresno 11 73.3 6 a) Is there a significant difference in the mean temperature between San Francisco and Fresno at a significance level of 5%? Assume that the population variances in both cities are the same. b) Based on the measurements, what are the confidence interval of variances in San Francisco and Fresbi, respectively? Use a 90% confidence level. c) Use the above question (question b) as an example, how does the number of samples affect the width of your confidence interval?
Using the ROI data set: For each of the 2 majors test the hypothesis at the 5% significance level: The mean ‘Cost’ for a college is $160,000. Be sure to interpret your results. For Business versus Engineering majors conduct a two sample test of the hypothesis at the 10% significance level (assume the variances are not equal): The average ’30-Year ROI’ for Business majors is less than for Engineering Majors. Be sure to interpret your results.
Suppose that you want to test the mean of two populations whose variance is known. Your sample size is large and yo do not have any information about α significance level. Explain how you made this decision. If your test is right tail and test statistics value is 3.12 then what would be the P-value and your decision accordingly?
If other factors are held constant, increasing the sample variances will have very little influence on measures of effect size for an independent-measures study. O True O False
Which statement best represents the logic of a one way analysis of variance which also called ANOVA which is also called the F test? A. Under the null, The population means are equal to each other, so any difference in sample means will register as significant difference B. Under the null, at least one mean is different from the others, so if this condition is met with the data, it will register as a significant difference C. Under the null, The means are assumed to be equal; as a result the between group variance will equal the within group variance ; if the calculated SSbetween is sufficiently larger than SSbetween this would suggest the between group variation is larger than within group variation and indicate there is a significant difference amount the means D. Under the null, the means are assumed to be equal, as a result, the within group variance will be larger than the between group variance and this will be revealed by a significant F, which would indicate that the…

After the measles outbreak, the barangay captain of Big Rock wanted to assess the satisfaction of the residents to his actions during the outbreak. He then obtained a random sample of 5 residents per block (Block 1 to Block 5) and asked them their satisfaction (1 - very dissatisfied, 2 - dissatisfied, 3 - satisfied, 4 - very satisfied). He wanted to know if the satisfaction of his residents differ from across blocks. 1. TRUE OR FALSE: We should test the normality of responses per blocks before we proceed with the test of hypothesis on comparing these responses across blocks. 2. The appropriate alternative hypothesis to compare satisfaction of residents across blocks is ____. ( See image for choices) 3. The appropriate test procedure to test the hypothesis is ___. A. T-test B. Z-test C. F-test using ANOVA D. Kruskal-Wallis Test E. None of the above
