A researcher examined whether an over-the-counter cold medication has an effect on mental alertness. A sample of n = 16 participants is obtained, and each person is given a standard dose of the medication one hour before being tested on a driving simulation task. For the general population, scores on the simulation task are normally distributed with μ = 60 and σ = 8. The individuals in the sample had an average score of M = 56. (Use a two-tailed test with α = .05.

Given a random sample of size n from a uniform population with a = 0, find an estimator for ß by the method of moments.

A company that makes basketballs has the motto, "Our basketballs are ready to play." Therefore, it is important to the company that the basketballs are inflated with the proper amount of air when shipped. Most basketballs are inflated to 7 to 9 pounds per square inch. From a set of calibration data, X = 8.03 and R=0.57. Recently the company selected a random basketball from its production line at four different time periods over its normal production day. The results were listed in the accompanying table. Complete parts a through c. Click the icon to view the data table.

A physical therapist wanted to know whether the mean step pulse of men was less than the mean step pulse of women. She randomly selected 54 men and 70 women to participate in the study. Each subject was required to step up and down a 6-inch platform. The pulse of each subject was then recorded. The following results were obtained. Two sample T for Men vs Women N Mean StDev SE Mean Men Women 98% CI for mu Men - mu Women (- 12.20, - 1.00) T-Test mu Men = mu Women (vs H2 O C. Ho: H1 = H2; Ha: H1 #H2 (b) Identify the P-value and state the researcher's conclusion if the level of significance was a = 0.01. What is the P-value? P-value =
