A fitness course claims that it can improve an individual's physical ability. To test the effect of a physical fitness course on one's physical ability, the number of sit-ups that a person could do in one minute, both before and after the course, was recorded. Ten individuals are randomly selected to participate in the course. The results are displayed in the following table. Can it be concluded, from the data, that participation in the physical fitness course resulted in significant improvement? Let d=(number of sit-ups that can be done after taking the course)−(number of sit-ups that can be done prior to taking the course)d=(number of sit-ups that can be done after taking the course)−(number of sit-ups that can be done prior to taking the course). Use a significance level of α=0.05α=0.05 for the test. Assume that the numbers of sit-ups are normally distributed for the population both before and after taking the fitness course.

64 owners and a similar age group of pet owners. The pet owners are matched one to one with the non-pet owners for income, number of close friendships, and 0. A researcher uses a matched-subjects design to in- than singles without pets. A mood inventory survey vestigate whether single people with pets are happier happier is given to a group of 20- to 29-year-old non-p general health. The data follow: Non-Pet Owner Pet Owner Matched Pair 12 14 8. 10 13 9. 9. D 13 E 10 12 F a. Is there a significant difference in the mood scores for non-pet owners versus pet owners? Test with a = .05 for two tails. b. Construct the 95% confidence interval to estimate the size of the mean difference in mood between the population of pet owners and the population of non-pet owners. (You should find that a mean difference of p, = 0 is an acceptable value, which is consistent with the conclusion from the hypoth- esis test.) %3D D. AB

Assume that 900 births are randomly selected and 443 of the births are girls. Use subjective judgment to describe the number of girls as significantly​ high, significantly​ low, or neither significantly low nor significantly high.
