Unfortunately, arsenic occurs naturally in some ground water.† A mean arsenic level of μ = 8.3 parts per billion (ppb) is considered safe for agricultural use. A well in Texas is used to water cotton crops. This well is tested on a regular basis for arsenic. A random sample of 41 tests gave a sample mean of x = 7.3 ppb arsenic, with s = 2.4 ppb. Does this information indicate that the mean level of arsenic in this well is less than 8.3 ppb? Use ? = 0.01. (a) What is the level of significance?

A random sample of 76 eighth-grade students' scores on a national mathematics assessment test has a mean score of 273. This test result prompts a state school administrator to declare that the mean score for the state's eighth graders on this exam is more than 270. Assume that the population standard deviation is 33. At α=0.02, is there enough evidence to support the administrator's claim? Complete parts (a) through (e). Part 1 (a) Write the claim mathematically and identify H0 and Ha. Choose the correct answer below. A.) H0: μ≥270 (claim) Ha: μ<270 B.) H0: μ≤270 (claim) Ha: μ>270 C.) H0: μ=270 (claim) Ha: μ>270 D.) H0:μ≤270 Ha: μ>270 (claim) E.) H0: μ<270 Ha: μ≥270 (claim) F.)

In the general population, IQ scores are normally distributed with a mean of 95 and a standard deviation of 17. You wish to examine whether post-graduates at RMIT have a different level of intelligence than the general population. You sampled 29 RMIT postgraduates and measured their IQ which resulted in a mean of 116 and a standard deviation of 14.4. Calculate Cohen's d. Give your answer to 2 decimal places.
4. A man claims to be able to distinguish between two kinds of wine with 90% accuracy and presents his claim to an agency interested in promoting the consumption of one of two kinds of wine. The following experiment is conducted to check his claim. The man is to taste the two types of wine and distinguish between them. This is to be done nine times with a 3-minute break after each taste. Assume that each tasting is independent. It is agreed that if the man is correct at least six out of the nine times, he will be hired. (a) Assume that the man is guessing. What is the likelihood of the man being hired? (b) Assume now that the man's claim is true (i.e. that his probability of success in each tasting is 0.9). What is the chance of the man being hired?
Jeremiah earned a score of 530 on Exam A that had a mean of 450 and a standard deviation of 40. He is about to take Exam B that has a mean of 63 and a standard deviation of 20. How well must Jeremiah score on Exam B in order to do equivalently well as he did on Exam A? Assume that scores on each exam are normally distributed.
An old medical textbook states that the mean sodium level for healthy adults is 140 mEq per liter of blood. A medical researcher believes that, because of modern dietary habits, the mean sodium level for healthy adults, u, now differs from that given in the textbook. A random sample of 23 healthy adults is evaluated. The mean sodium level for the sample is 147 mEq per liter of blood. It is known that the population standard deviation of adult sodium levels is 14 mEq. Assume that the population is normally distributed. Can we conclude, at the 0.10 level of significance, that the population mean adult sodium level differs from that given in the textbook? Perform a two-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places, and round your responses as specified below. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) State the null hypothesis H and the alternative hypothesis H₁. H₂:0 H₁ :0 (b) Determine the type of test statistic to…
Avalanches can be a real problem for travelers in the western United States and Canada. Slab avalanches studied in Canada had an average thickness of u = 67 cm. A sample of 31 avalanches in the U.S. gave a sample mean of = 63.0 cm. It is known that o = 10.3 cm for this type of data. Use a 0.03 level of significance to test the claim that the mean slab thickness of avalanches in the United States is different from that in Canada. Use the P-Value Approach. What is the P-Value for this problem? O 0.0154 0.0150 0.0300 0.0308
It takes an average of 14.5 minutes for blood to begin clotting after an injury. An EMT wants to see if the average will increase if the patient is immediately told the truth about the injury. The EMT randomly selected 70 injured patients to immediately tell the truth about the injury and noticed that they averaged 16.3 minutes for their blood to begin clotting after their injury. Their standard deviation was 4.75 minutes. What can be concluded at the the α = 0.10 level of significance? a. For this study, we should use [Select an answer b.

From generation to generation, the mean age when smokers first start to smoke varies. However, the standard deviation of the age when smokers first start to smoke remains constant at around 2.1 years. The American Lung Association claims that the mean age when smokers first start to smoke is at least 17. A survey of 40 randomly selected smokers of this generation was done and it was found that the mean age when smokers first started to smoke was 18.1. Is there enough evidence to reject the claim? Describe what a Type I error is for this situation. Describe what a Type II error is for this situation.
The Weather Underground reported that the mean amount of summer rainfall for the northeastern US is at least 11.52 inches. Ten cities in the northeast are randomly selected and the mean rainfall amount is calculated to be 7.42 inches with a standard deviation of 1.3 inches. At the α = 0.05 level, can it be concluded that the mean rainfall was below the reported average? What if α = 0.01? Assume the amount of summer rainfall follows a normal distribution. Please also state if the assumption of normal distribution was essential for solving this question. You will need to specify the appropriate hypothesis, identify the statistical test, estimate p-value (using R command), and state your conclusion in the context of the problem. For the conclusion, please use the following template. If you reject the null writeSince p-value is [write the value of your p-value] and is less than [write the value of alpha inpercent] we reject the null hypothesis at [write the value of alpha]% significance…
