A researcher wants to conduct a before/after study on 11 subjects to determine if a treatment results in any difference in scores. The null hypothesis is that the average difference is zero while the alternative hypothesis is that the average difference is not zero. Scores are obtained on the subjects both before and after the treatment. After subtracting the after scores from the before scores, the average difference is computed to be -2.40 with a sample standard deviation of 1.21. A 0.05 level of significance is selected. Assume that the differences are normally distributed in the population. The table t value for this test is ±1.8125

For a random sample of 47 high school seniors in the United States in 2019, the average of typical sleep time on a school night is 6.8 hours with a standard deviation of 1.2 hours. (Source: Data are downloaded from U.S. Census at School a) We want to test if the mean sleep time on a school night for all high school seniors in the United States is less than 7 hours. State the hypotheses of a one-sided significance test. b) ) Calculate the test statistic. I Show how to make a c) conclusion for this test, using the significance level 0.05. d) ) If your conclusion in part c) were in error, what type of error would it be? e) ) Construct a 95% confidence interval for the population mean sleep time on a school night for all high school seniors in the United States.
A sample of 200 corporate managers produced the mean job-related stress score of 7.9 with a standard deviation of .65. Another sample of 300 college professors produced the mean job-related stress score of 5.4 with a standard deviation of .90. The null hypothesis is that the mean job-related stress score for all corporate managers is equal to the mean job-related stress score for all college professors. The alternative hypothesis is that the mean job-related stress score for all corporate managers is not equal to the mean job-related stress score for all college professors. The significance level is 1%. What are the critical values of z? a. –2.33 and 2.33 b. –2.17 and 2.17 c. –1.96 and 1.96 d. –2.58 and 2.58
Scores on a certain "IQ" test for 18-25 year olds are normally distributed. A researcher believes that the average IQ score for students at a certain NJ college is less than 110 points, and so wants to test this hypothesis. The researcher obtain a SRS of 45 student IQ scores from school records and found the mean of the 45 results was 108 with a sample standard deviation of 21. The level of significance (alpha) used for this problem is 0.05. What is the appropriate test statistic (Student must complete by showing by formula using the ap- propriate values in that formula "showing work" and the final answer and appropriate label)? O T test score = (108-110)/(21/sqrt(45)) = -.639 T test score (108-110)/(21/sqrt(45)) = .639 %3D OT test score = (110-108)/(21/sqrt(45)) = .639 %3D T test score (108-110)/(45/sqrt(21)) =-.2037 %3D 素
During a recent year, the mean ACT score for all college bound students had a mean of 24.65 and a standard deviation of 4.01. The director of Stanley Kaplan is interested in knowing whether taking their course causes a difference on ACT scores. She takes a random sample of 444 seniors and finds their mean to be 25.44. Test the null hypothesis at the .05 level of significance.
According to a city's estimate, people on average arrive 1.5 hours early for domestic flights. The population standard deviation is known to be 0.5 hours. A researcher wanted to check if this is true so he took a random sample of 50 people taking domestic flights and found the mean time to be 2.0 hours early. At the 1% significance level, can you conclude that the amount of time people are early for domestic flights is more than what the city claims. Will you reject or not reject the null hypothesis and what is your conclusion in words? O Reject the null hypothesis; the city's claim is true. O Do not reject the null hypothesis; the city's claim is false and people arrive earlier than the city claims. O Reject the null hypothesis; the city's claim is false and people arrive earlier than the city claims. O Do not reject the null hypothesis; the city's claim is true.
One way to check on how representative a survey is of the population from which it was drawn is to compare various characteristics of the sample with the population characteristics. A typical variable used for this purpose is age. The GSS 2018 found a mean age of 48.69 and a standard deviation of 17.99 for its sample of 1,495 American adults. Assume that we know from census data that the mean age of all American adults is 37.80. What is the research and the null hypotheses for a two-tailed test of means, calculate the t statistic and test the null hypothesis at the .001 significance level, and what is the decision about the null hypothesis?
You were told that the mean daily cost of a hotel room in downtown St. Louis is $120. You will be needing to rent a hotel room there in the near future and you want to find the best rate. You randomly select a sample of 18 hotel rooms and find that the average cost is $121.33 with a standard deviation of $18.046. At the α = 0.05 significance level, determine if there is enough evidence to reject the claim. What is the decision for this hypothesis test?

Bone mineral density (BMD) is a measure of bone strength. Studies show that BMD declines after age 45. The impact of exercise may increase BMD. A random sample of 59 women between the ages of 41 and 45 with no major health problems were studied. The women were classified into one of two groups based upon their level of exercise activity: walking women and sedentary women. The 39 women who walked regularly had a mean BMD of 5.96 with a standard deviation of 1.22. The 20 women who are sedentary had a mean BMD of 4.41 with a standard deviation of 1.02. Which of the following inference procedures could be used to estimate the difference in the mean BMD for these two types of women
A sample of 20 observation is selected from a normal population, the sample mean is 2.78 and the standard deviation is 0.83. Another sample of 18 observation was selected and the mean is 2.63 with standard deviation of 0.75. Test at 0.01 level of significance. What is the computed value and decision.
The Ankle Brachial Index (ABI) compares the blood pressure of a patient's arm to the blood pressure of the patient's leg. A healthy ABI is 0.9 or greater. In a study, researchers obtained the ABI of 187 women with arterial disease. The results were a mean ABI of 0.86 with a standard deviation of 0.16. At the 1% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that, on average, women with arterial disease have an unhealthy ABI? Set up the hypotheses for the one-mean t-test.

A pharmaceutical company needs to know if its new cholesterol drug, Praxor, is effective at lowering cholesterol levels. It believes that people who take Praxor will average a greater decrease in cholesterol level than people taking a placebo. After the experiment is complete, the researchers find that the 4848 participants in the treatment group lowered their cholesterol levels by a mean of 21.521.5 points with a standard deviation of 2.52.5 points. The 4040 participants in the control group lowered their cholesterol levels by a mean of 20.920.9 points with a standard deviation of 4.14.1 points. Assume that the population variances are not equal and test the company’s claim at the 0.100.10 level. Let the treatment group be Population 1 and let the control group be Population 2.
