A simple random sample of pulse rates of 30 women from a normally distributed population results in a standard deviation of 11.9 beats per minute. The normal range of pulse rates of adults is typically given as 60 to 100 beats per minute. If the range rule of thumb is applied to that normal​ range, the result is a standard deviation of 10 beats per minute. Use the sample results with a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that pulse rates of women have a standard deviation equal to 10 beats per minute. Complete parts​ (a) through​ (d) below. a. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses. Choose the correct answer below. A. H0: σ=10 beats per minute H1: σ<10 beats per minute B. H0: σ≥10 beats per minute H1: σ<10 beats per minute C. H0: σ=10 beats per minute H1: σ≠10 beats per minute D. H0: σ≠10 beats per minute H1: σ=10 beats per minute b. Compute the test statistic. χ2= c. Find the​ P-value of the test statistic. The​ P-value of the test statistic is d. State the conclusion. Reject Fail to reject H0. There is not is sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that pulse rates of women have a standard deviation equal to 10 beats per minute.

Loretta, who turns 91 this year, has heard that the mean systolic blood pressure among the elderly is 120 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg), but she believes that the actual value is higher. She bases her belief on a recently reported study of 19 randomly selected, elderly adults. The sample mean systolic blood pressure of the adults in the study was 121 mm Hg , and the sample standard deviation was 20 mm Hg. Assume that the population of systolic blood pressures of elderly adults is normally distributed. Based on the study, at the 0.1 level of significance, can it be concluded that μ , the mean systolic blood pressure among elderly adults, is greater than 120 mm Hg? Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places and round your answers as specified in the table. (a) State the null hypothesis H0? and the alternative hypothesis H1? . H0:? H1:? (b) Determine the type of test statistic to…

claim the standard deviation of pulse rates in adult women is at least 50. for a random sample of adult females the pulse rates have a standard deviation of 11.6.

The distribution of the student heights at a large college is approximately bell shaped. If the mean height is 66 inches,and approximately 95% of the heights fall between 32 and 100 inches, then, the standard deviation of the heightdistribution is approximately equal to

In a large section of a statistics class, the points for the final exam are normally distributed, with a mean of 73 and a standard deviation of 8. Grades are assigned such that the top 10% receive A's, the next 20% received B's, the middle 40% receive C's, the next 20% receive D's, and the bottom 10% receive F's. Find the lowest score on the final exam that would qualify a student for an A, a B, a C, and a D. Click here to view Page 1 of the Standard Normal Table. Click here to view Page 2 of the Standard Normal Table. The lowest score that would qualify a student for an A is (Round up to the nearest integer as needed.)

In a class with 50 students, a 60-item test is conducted. After the test, it is found that the mean of the scores is 40 and the standard deviation is 5. Assuming normal frequency distribution, determine the scores of the students within 1 standard deviation.

According to Current Population Reports, the population distribution of number of years of education for self-employed individuals in the United States has a mean of 13.6 and a standard deviation of 3.0.  Find the mean and standard error of the sampling distribution of ȳ for a random sample of  9 residents.
