Q8
An automobile manufacturer claims that its van has a 28.8 miles/gallon (MPG) rating. An independent testing firm has been contracted to test the MPG for this van since it is believed that the van has an incorrect manufacturer's MPG rating. After testing 300 vans, they found a

- A music fan claims that R&B songs and Rap songs differ in terms of their positivity. The individual collected two independent random samples from the population of all songs on Spotify. Fifteen R&B songs and another fifteen Rap songs were collected and their Valence was recorded. Remember, the variable Valence is measured on a 0 to 1 scale. Songs with high valence sound more positive (e.g. happy, cheerful, euphoric), while songs with low valence sound more negative (e.g. sad, depressed, angry). We will subtract (R&B – Rap) and use the 10% significance level. Assume the Central Limit Theorem conditions hold. The data set is called RBRapSample31. Please import the data set into Rguroo or find it in our group. Define the population parameter in context and symbols in one sentence. State the hypotheses you would use to test the claim that a difference exists in the mean Valence between R&B and Rap songs using correct notation.arrow_forwardPain medications sometimes come with side effects.

- A quantitative data set has a size 50. At least how many observations lie within 3standard deviations to either side of the mean?arrow_forwardCadmium, a heavy metal, is toxic to animals. Mushrooms, however, are able to absorb and accumulate cadmium at high concentrations. Some governments have a safety limit for cadmium in dry vegetables at 0.56 part per million (ppm). A research team measured the cadmium levels in a random sample of edible mushrooms, where the hypothesis test is to decide whether the mean cadmium level in the sample is greater than the governments' safety limit. The null and alternative hypotheses are H0: μ=0.56 ppm, Ha: μ>0.56 ppm. Complete parts (a) through (e) below. d. Now suppose that the results of carrying out the hypothesis test lead to nonrejection of the null hypothesis. Classify that conclusion by error type or as a correct decision if in fact the mean cadmium level in that type of mushrooms equals the safety limit of 0.56 ppm. Choose the correct answer below.
