A researcher wants to select a sample from a population with a mean (µ)= 60 and administer a treatment to individuals in the sample. He thinks the treatment will help improve scores. a. State the hypotheses for a one-tailed test. b. For a one-tailed test, would the critical region be located in the positive or right-hand tail of the distribution, or in the negative or left-hand tail of the distribution?

Before the furniture store began its ad campaign, it averaged 182 customers per day. The manager is investigating if the average has changed since the ad came out. The data for the 11 randomly selected days since the ad campaign began is shown below: 194, 170, 172, 180, 151, 169, 179, 181, 167, 170, 194 Assuming that the distribution is normal, what can be concluded at the a = 0.01 level of significance? %3D a. For this study, we should use Select an answer b. The null and alternative hypotheses would be: Но: ? v Select an answer v H1: ? v Select an answer ♥ c. The test statistic ? v (please show your answer to 3 decimal places.) %3D d. The p-value = (Please show your answer to 4 decimal places.) e. The p-value is ? va f. Based on this, we should Select an answer g. Thus, the final conclusion is that ... the null hypothesis. O The data suggest that the population mean number of customers since the ad campaign began is not significantly different from 182 at a = 0.01, so there is…
Jacklyn created a sampling distribution that looks like a normal distribution. Her lead investigator recommended taking a larger sample. What would the new sampling distribution look like if Jacklyn increased the sample size? (choose the correct answer) -neither, they both will have the same shape -narrower (steeper) -becomes more positively skewed -wider (flatter)
Lecture(10.3): Identify the test statistic used for the ANOVA procedure and how it is calculated. (a) The test statistic is F and is the ratio of the variation between groups to the variation within groups. (b) The test staistic is Z and is the ratio of the mean within a group to the variation between groups. (c) The test statistic is Z and is calculated by finding the mean Z score between groups.

The claim that the proportion of accidental deaths of the ederly attribute to resident falls is more than 0.20, and the sample statistics include 60 deaths of the ederly with 15% of them attributable to resident falls. find the value of the test statistic z.
Jason collects information about annual family income from each student at his college. He computes both the mean and median family income across all students and is surprised to find that the mean income is much higher than the median income. What is the most likely reason for the difference in the mean and the median? Select one: a. The sample size is too small. b. The median tends to produce lower estimates of central tendency. c. The median is not an appropriate estimate for annual family income's level of measurement. Incorrect d. The mean is more affected by a small number of extreme values.
Information needed for the next two problems: A bored statistician is interested in researching length of commercial breaks on cable channels (ESPN, TNT, etc.) and comparing them to the length of commercial breaks on the networks (ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX). She times a random sample of commercials from each of the two types of broadcasts which are assumed to be normally distributed. Source n Mean(min.) Std. Dev. (min.) Cable 15 2.36 0.16 Network 12 2.18 0.13 Based on your previous answer for the upper bound and assuming the lower bound ratio of variances of cable to network is 0.5531, your conclusion about the spread of the variances of cable vs network commercials is O 1 is in the interval so statistically the same O O is in the interval so statistically the same O 1 is not in the interval so statistically different O O is in the interval so statistically not the same O 1 is in the interval so statistically not the same
Last week Jenni had exams in Spanish and in Cognition. She scored 5 points above the mean on both exams. From this information, what can you conclude about the z-scores for Jenni’s two scores? a. Jenni will have a higher z-score for the exam with the lower mean. b. None of the other choices is correct. c. Jenni has identical z-scores for the two exams. d. Both of Jenni's z-scores are positive.
