- The manufacturer of a new eye cream claims that the cream reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles after just 14 days of application. To test the claim, 10 women are randomly selected to participate in a study. The number of fine lines and wrinkles that are visible around each participant’s eyes is recorded before and after the 14 days of treatment. The following table displays the results. Test the claim at the 0.05 level of significance assuming that the population distribution of the paired differences is approximately normal. Let women before the treatment be Population 1 and let women after the treatment be Population 2.

Is there an association? Describe the pattern of association. Assuming that this is a random sample, test a hypothesis (use α = 0.01) that there is an association between one’s education and attitudes toward cohabitation in the population. Show all your work (state the hypotheses, find the critical value, compute the test statistics, state a conclusion) and write one sentence summarizing the results. (Extra-credit: find the p-value). Is this association weak, moderate or strong? Compute and interpret the appropriate statistic.arrow_forwardIn a study of store checkout scanners, 1234 items were checked and 21 checked items were overcharges. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that with scanners, 1% of sales are overchanrges. (Before scanners were used, the overcharge rate was estimated to be about 1%). a.

- A researcher was interested in comparing the amount of time (in hours) spent working out by women and by men. Independent simple random samples of 14 women and 17 men were selected, and each person was asked how many hours he or she worked out during the previous week. The summary statistics are as follows. Test the claim, using a 99% CI, that the mean amount of time spent working out by women is smaller than the mean amount of time spent by men. Assume the variables are approximately normally distributed. Mean Std dev Sample size Women 17.8 hrs 2.9 hr 24 Men 19.5 hrs 6.2 hrs 27arrow_forwardMany cheeses are produced in the shape of a wheel. Because of the differences in consistency between these different types of cheese, the amount of cheese, measured by weight, varies from wheel to wheel. Heidi Cembert wishes to determine whether there is a significant difference, at the 10% level, between the weight per wheel of Gouda and Brie cheese. She randomly samples 18 wheels of Gouda and finds the mean is 1.3 lb with a standard deviation of 0.3 lb; she then randomly samples 10 wheels of Brie and finds a mean of 0.95 lb and a standard deviation of 0.21 lb. What is the df and p-value for Heidi's hypothesis of equality? Assume normality. (Give your answer correct to four decimal places.)arrow_forwardA company manufactures electrical components and today they are producing 220-ohm carbon film resistors. A sample of 8 resistors was taken from the production line and were tested. Below are the measured resistance of the 8 resistors. [220.8, 221.9, 223.2, 219.1, 222.8, 219.2, 219.4, 219.5] Consider the two-sided hypothesis test for the mean resistance: Ho : µ = 220 vs Hj : µ # 220 Calculate the test statistic for the observed data for this hypothesis test. Give your answer to 3 decimal places. Test statistic: to 3 d.p. What is your hypothesis decision given that the manufacturing company is happy with a 5% significance level of the test?

Pond 1: 37.03, 37.45, 36.75, 37.54, 37.71, 37.02, 37.32 Pond 2: 38.89, 39.05, 38.51, 38.53, 38.71 Use a 2% significance level to test the claim that the two ponds have the same mean salinity value. Assume that nothing is known about the population distribution of salinities. (a) Enter the rank values in the same order as in the original sample. The rank values for Pond 1 are: The rank values for Pond 2 are: (b) The test statistic is: . (c) The test critical value is: . (d) The conclusion isA.

- It has been estimated that the 1991 G-car obtains a mean of 35 miles per gallon on the highway, and the company that manufactures the car claims that it exceeds the estimate in highway driving. To support its assertion, the company randomly selects 49 1991 G-cars and records the mileage obtained for each car over a driving course similar to that used to obtain the estimate. The following data resulted: x = 36.5 miles per gallon, s = 7 miles per gallon. %3D a. Find the observed significance level for testing Ho: u= 35 vs. Ha: u> 35. %3D b.
