Although you can computea z-score for a single score (a sample of n - 1), it is impossible to compute at statistic for a sample that has only one score. Explain why.

For any population, a z-score of -2.00 is a more extreme score than a z-score of +1.00. TRUE OR FALSE

An airport official wants to prove that the proportion of delayed flights for Airline A (denoted as p1) is less than the proportion of delayed flights for Airline B (denoted as p2). Random samples for both airlines after a storm showed that 51 out of 200 flights for Airline A were delayed, while 60 out of 200 of Airline B's flights were delayed. The test statistic for this problem is -1.00. The p-value for the test statistic for this problem is: p = 0.0228 p = 0.0668 p = 0.3413 p = 0.1587

Let's use SPSS to run a one-sample t-test!  Imagine that you are interested in whether the number of hours students in a statistics course work each week differs from the average number of hours reported by the general student body at ASU.  Thankfully, you have a data set that consists of information from students in a statistics course, including how many hours they work each week ("workhours").  You also happen to know that the average number of hours worked each week by the general student population at ASU is 25.  Use the data provided to conduct a one sample t-test in SPSS comparing the sample data to the population mean..  The dependent variable for your test should be "workhours".   Based on your output, the average number of hours worked each week by a sample is ________ .  Enter your answer rounded to two decimal places (i.e., 10.01, not 10.1, not 10.0, not 10.010).

Professor Nord stated that the mean score on the final exam from all the years he has been teaching is a 79%.  Colby was in his most recent class, and his class’s mean score on the final exam was 82%.  Colby decided to run a hypothesis test to determine if the mean score of his class was significantly greater than the mean score of the population.  α = .01. What is the mean score of the population? What is the mean score of the sample? Is this test one-tailed or two-tailed? Why?

A social psychologist is interested in knowing whether people are more aggressive if they are in the presence of a weapon, such as a gun Treatment Condition- T1, as compared to when they are in a room with an innocuous item such as a tennis racket Control Condition-T2. The study used one sample of 17 college students and had all of the students in the sample participate in both treatment conditions. The mean of the difference scores was 18.0 and the variance (s2) was 612. An alpha level of .01 was set. Calculate the t. A  3.000 B  2.780 C  2.152 D  1.765

If you look at the differences between the means, once with 10 participants and one mean with 20 participants. (same data set) One mean difference is very large, but non-significant and the other is very small, but came out significant. What could be the reason for this outcome? (My difference in means was with 10 participants: -1.1 and with 20 participants: -5.1)

a sample of n = 10 score has ss= 108 what is the variance for this sample

One advantage of transforming x-values (raw scores) to a-score is

It has been found that 25.1% of men (Group 1) 20 years and older suffer from hypertension (high blood pressure) and 33.9% of women (Group 2) are hypertensive. A random sample of 164 of each gender was selected from recent hospital records, and the following results were obtained. Can you conclude that a higher percentage of women have high blood pressure? Use =0.05. Men: 42 patients had high blood pressure Women: 52 patients had high blood pressure   Required: Test Value Only the final answer should be rounded-off to TWO decimal places.
