- 21)arrow_forwardThis assignment is worth 1 points. The extra point will be added to your overall course grade. For example: if you receive an 88% in the course you can receive up to 1 point giving you a new score of 89%. The following rubric will be used. 0.25 point for drawing the normal distribution curve with the mean value labeled on the curve and the appropriate area shaded. 0.25 point for determining the value of the standard deviation of the sample mean. 0.5 point for finding the correct probability. All work must be shown in order to receive any credit. Please upload your completed assignment here. The length of time taken on the SAT for a group of students is normally distributed with a mean of 2.5 hours and a standard deviation of 0.25 hours. A sample size of n = 60 is drawn randomly from the population. Find the probability that the sample mean is between two hours and three hours.arrow_forwardThe mean number of eggs per person eaten in the United States is 252 and the standard deviation is 68. Do college students eat more than the average? The 45 college students surveyed averaged 281 eggs per person. What can be concluded at the 0.05 level of significance? H0: = 252 Ha: _____________ 252 Test statistic: __________ p-Value =__________ Reject/Fail to reject H0?______________ Conclusion: There is____________ evidence to make the conclusion that the population mean number of eggs consumed college students per year is more than 252 eggs per student per year. p-Value Interpretation: If the mean number of eggs consumed per year for college students is equal to_________ and if another study was done with a new randomly selected group of 45 college students, then there is a ____________ percent chance that the average number of eggs consumed per year for this new sample would be greater than_____________ .

- PLEASE ONLY SELECT THE ANSWERS AS SHOWN FOR THE MULTIPLE CHOICE, SUCH AS OPTION 1, 2, ETC. 1) In a test of the effectiveness of garlic for lowering cholesterol, 49 subjects were treated with raw garlic. Cholesterol levels were measured before and after the treatment. The changes (before minus after) in their levels of LDL cholesterol (in mg/dL) have a mean of 0.8 and a standard deviation of 1.51. Use a 0.10 significance level to test the claim that with garlic treatment, the mean change in LDL cholesterol is greater than 0. What do the results suggest about the effectiveness of the garlic treatment? Assume that a simple random sample has been selected. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses, test statistic, P-value, and state the final conclusion that addresses the original claim. What are the null and alternative hypotheses? A. H0: μ=0 mg/dL H1: μ<0 mg/dL B. H0: μ>0 mg/dL H1: μ<0 mg/dL C. H0: μ=0 mg/dL H1: μ≠0 mg/dL D. H0: μ=0 mg/dL H1: μ>0 mg/dL…arrow_forwardThe glucose readings are 95, 86, 84, 107, 101, 112,85,86. The sample mean is 94.8, it is a normal distribution wirh the standard devian is 12.5, and the mean glucose is 85. Do these data indicate that Ben has an overall average level higher than 85?

A researcher thinks that smoking age has significantly changed since the invention of ENDS-electronic nicotine delivery systems. A survey of smokers of this generation was done to see if the mean age has changed. The sample of 33 smokers found that their mean starting age was 12 years old. What type of test should you use? A) z-test for population mean B) t-test for population mean C) z-test for population proportionarrow_forwardScore last try: pts. See Details for more. You can retry this question below For a 4-unit class like Statistics, students should spend average of 12 hours studying for the class. A survey was done on 28 students, and the distribution of total study hours per week is bell-shaped with a mean of 13 hours and a standard deviation of 3.1 hours. Use the Empirical Rule to answer the following questions. a) 68% of the students spend between 12.41 X hours and 13.58 x hours on Statistics each week. b) 95% of the students spend between 11.82 X hours and 14.7 X hours on Statistics each week. c) 99.7% of the students spend between 11.24 X hours and 14.76 X hours on Statistics each week.arrow_forward
