Question
A marketing firm wishes to test the effectiveness of the audio/visual presenation of certain information as opposed to the purely audio presentation of information. To this end250 volunteers were given a 10 minute presentation in which the information was presented in an audio/visual format. A second group of 250 volunteers was presented the same information in a purely audio format. Each person in each of the two groups was asked the same 20 questions related to the infomrstion in the presentation. The audio/visual grouo had an average of 10.2 correct responses with a sample standard deviation of 4. The purely audio group had an average of 9.4 correct responses with a standard deviation of 3. The marketing firm believes this means that the audio /visual format leads to better retention of the information. We test the hypothesed
H1: µ1 - µ2 = 0 versus Ha: µ1-µ>0
at a 2% level of significance. Here µ1 denotes the population average number of correct responses for individuals presented the information in an audio/visual format and µ2 denotes the population average number of correct responses for individuals presented the information in a purely audio format.
Find the critical value for the rejection region.
Compute the test statistic:

You discovered a program for sales personnel that supposedly improve interpersonal skills and thus help settle deals with customers more often. You decide to send8 of your sales people for the training, and compare the amount they brought in sales in the month before they went and in the month after they received the training. The data are:Xbefore: 400, 300, 1200, 2100, 700, 450, 650, 3400Xafter: 1000, 400, 1000, 2500, 1200, 600, 800, 3000 C.

She was told that students on the honors floor study 10.5 hours per week. After living on the honors floor for a few months, Sarah is convinced that the students around her study less than 10.5 hours a week. To test her claim, Sarah polls 10 students on her floor regarding the number of hours per week that they spend studying. Use the results in the table below to test Sarah’s claim at the 0.05 level of significance. Assume that the population distribution is approximately normal. hours of study: 12,4,14,9,8,6,10,12,11,9arrow_forward
- An immunologist is interested in whether the number of symptoms of the flu a person first exhibits is related to how many days that person will be sick. What is the appropriate test?arrow_forwardThe U.S. Department of Transportation, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, reported that 77% of all fatally injured automobile drivers were intoxicated. A random sample of 26 records of automobile driver fatalities in Kit Carson County, Colorado, showed that 14 involved an intoxicated driver. Do these data indicate that the population proportion of driver fatalities related to alcohol is less than 77% in Kit Carson County? Use ? = 0.01. Solve the problem using both the traditional method and the P-value method. Since the sampling distribution of p̂ is the normal distribution, you can use critical values from the standard normal distribution as shown in the table of critical values of the z distribution. (Round the test statistic and the critical value to two decimal places. Round the P-value to four decimal places.) test statistic = critical value = P-value =arrow_forwardLuke's teacher has assigned each student in his class an online quiz, which is made up of 10 multiple-choice questions with 4 options each. Luke hasn't been paying attention in class and has to guess on each question. However, his teacher allows each student to take the quiz three times and will record the highest of the three scores. A passing score is 6 or more correct out of 10. We want to perform a simulation to estimate the score that Luke will earn on the quiz if he guesses at random on all the questions. The dotplot shows Luke's simulated quiz score in 50 trials of the simulation.

- A private opinion poll is conducted for a politician to determine what proportion of the population favors adding more national parks. How large a sample is needed in order to be 95% confident that the sample proportion will not differ from the true proportion by more than 4%?arrow_forwardOne of the categories of special education are children who are diagnosed with Speech/Language Impairment (SLI). The most common SLI diagnosis is dyslexia. A major difficulty for children with this diagnosis of dyslexia surrounds the skills of reading. A special education teacher is interested in knowing whether a new reading technique increases reading skills for children diagnosed with dyslexia. She uses the WRAT as a way of measuring reading skills and the average for this test is 55 with a standard deviation of 4.5. She takes a random sample of 125 children diagnosed with dyslexia, employs her reading program with them and finds their mean on the WRAT to be 56.1. Test the null hypothesis at the .05 level of significance.arrow_forwardIf I got 8 out of 12 answers the same as a classmate, is it possible for me to get no answers correct and him to get 75% correct?arrow_forward

Jerry conducts some analysis and determines that a given location is acceptable only if the number of pedestrians passing the potential location averages more than 100 per hour. To check if this location is acceptable, Jerry records the number of pedestrians observed for each of 40 hours. Jerry finds that the average number of pedestrians that pass the potential location during each of the 40 hours he was observing, is 105.7 per hour. Jerry assumes that he knows the population standard deviation to be 16. Can Jerry conclude at the 1% significance level that the potential location for the ice cream store is acceptable? a. What is the correct set of hypotheses? Answer: Ho: u = 100 and H1: u> 100 v b. Determine the p-value Answer: 0.0122 c. Interpret the results Answer: There is not enough evidence d.
