Question
4. A sample obtained from a population with σ = 12 has a standard error of 2 points. How many scores are in the sample?
5. According to the CDC (2016), the average lifespan of someone with diabetes is μ = 72 years, σ = 14. Suppose that sample of n = 64 people diagnosed with diabetes who received a blood glucose monitoring implant had an average life expectancy of M = 76 years. Test the hypothesis that the glucose monitoring implant changes life expectancy. Assume a two-tailed test with the level of significance of 0.05.

- To compare the dry braking distances from 30 to 0 miles per hour for two makes of automobiles, a safety engineer conducts braking tests for 35 models of Make A and 35 models of Make B. The mean braking distance for Make A is 43 feet. Assume the population standard deviation is 4.6 feet. The mean braking distance for Make B is 46 feet. Assume the population standard deviation is 4.5 feet. At α=0.10, can the engineer support the claim that the mean braking distances are different for the two makes of automobiles? Assume the samples are random and independent, and the populations are normally distributed.

Sarai is interested in reducing the mean recovery time for patients after experiencing a serious injury (assume recovery times are normally distributed). Suppose the mean recovery time is presently 8.6 months. Sarai takes a random sample of 46 patients that have experienced serious injury to participate in a new treatment program and finds the sample mean is 8.1 months and a sample standard deviation of 1.2 months. Using α = 0.05, answer the following questions. a) What is the setup for your null and alternative hypothesis? b) What is the value of the test statistic? c) What is/are the critical value(s)?arrow_forwardTo compare the dry braking distances from 30 to 0 miles per hour for two makes of automobiles, a safety engineer conducts braking tests for 35 models of Make A and 35 models of Make B.

In a sample size of 30 students, 15 were observed to have a widow's peak and 15 did not have a widow's peak. The expected frequency of a widow's peak is 75% chance of getting it and a 25% chance of not getting it.
