Question
A random sample of 25 college males was obtained and each was asked to report their actual height and what they wished as their ideal height. A 95% confidence interval for _µ_d = average difference between their ideal and actual heights was 0.8" to 2.2". Based on this interval, which one of the null hypotheses below (versus a two-sided alternative) can be rejected?
Select one:
a. H0: µd = 2.0
b. H0: µd = 1.0
c. H0: µd = 1.5
d. H0: µd = 0.5

For this study, we should use The null and alternative hypotheses would be: H0:H0: Correct H1:H1: Correct The test statistic = (please show your answer to 3 decimal places.) The p-value = (Please show your answer to 4 decimal places.) The p-value is αα Based on this, we should the null hypothesis. Thus, the final conclusion is that ... The data suggest that the sample mean is not significantly less than 263 at αα = 0.05, so there is statistically insignificant evidence to conclude that the sample mean number of eggs consumed by college students per year is less than 260.

- You measure 3030 turtles' weights, and find they have a mean weight of 6262 ounces and standard deviation 10.910.9 ounces. Based on this, you construct a 90%90% confidence interval for the true population mean turtle weight to be 58.73<μ<65.2758.73<μ<65.27.Do these results show that the mean turtle weight has significantly changed from the previously determined weight of 5656 ounces? Since the claimed population mean is outside of the 90% confidence interval, we conclude that there is a 90% chance that the sample results are significantly different. Since the claimed population mean is outside of the 90% confidence interval, we conclude that the sample results are significantly different. Since the accepted population average is outside of the 90% confidence interval, we conclude that the sample results are not significantly different.

This implies that babies have an average of 6 hours of REM sleep per night. A doctor would like to test the hypotheses = 6 versus ≠ 6 where = the true mean amount of REM sleep per night for babies. A 95% confidence interval for the true mean amount of REM sleep per night for babies is (5.45, 6.25) hours.
