A researcher was interested in comparing the mean grade-point-average (GPA) of students at the University of Toronto Scarborough and Mississauga campuses. Independent random samples of 8 students from the Scarborough campus and 13 students from the Mississauga campus yielded the following GPAs. You can assume the data in each group follow a normal distribution. Do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean GPA of students at the Scarborough campus different from the mean GPA of students at the Mississauga campus? A. What statistical test is most appropriate to answer this question? B. Identify the relevant assumptions and conditions. State how these have or have not been met. C. Write an appropriate null and alternative hypothesis for this question.
A kilo restaurant implemented a change in the composition and presentation of its dishes. We want to assess whether the average weight of meals served is greater after the changes, compared to the previous average, which was 640. For this purpose, the weights of dishes from a random sample of 10 customers were taken. The average weight of dishes in the sample was 656 and the variance 144. Use a statistical test for the evaluation. Adopt a significance level of 10%. a. What is the distribution of the test statistic? b. What kind of alternative hypothesis? c. What is the test's critical value (the value that defines the critical region), on the scale of the test statistic? (If the test is bilateral, enter only one of the values.)

Two brands of batteries are tested, and their voltages are compared. The summary statistics follow. For sample 1, the sample size is 27; the population standard deviation is 0.3 volts and the mean is 9.2 volts. For sample 2, the sample size is 30; the population standard deviation is 0.1 volts and the mean is 8.8 volts. Is the mean of sample 1 smaller than the mean of sample 2? Using a significance level of 0.05. a) Identify the claim and state the hypotheses. b) What is the test statistics? Find the critical values (s). c) Make the decision to reject or not reject the null hypothesis and explain why. d) Graph your decision and include all the values. That is, the mean, the standard deviation, the critical value(s), the rejection region. e) Set up the formula with the correct numbers for the 95% confidence interval of the mean number of jobs.
An engineer designed a valve that will regulate water pressure on an automobile engine. The engineer designed the valve such that it would produce a mean pressure of 5.5 pounds/square inch. It is believed that the valve performs above the specifications. The valve was tested on 24 engines and the mean pressure was 5.7 pounds/square inch with a variance of 0.49. A level of significance of 0.01 will be used. Assume the population distribution is approximately normal. Make the decision to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis.
light examined data on employment and answered questions regarding why workers separate from their employes. According to the article, the standard deviation of the length of time that women with one job are employed during the first 8 years of their career is 92 weeks. Length of time employed during the first 8 years of career is a left skewed variable. For that variable, do the following tasks. A. determine the sampling distribution of the sample mean for simple random samples of 50 women with one job. Explain your reasoning B. Obtain the probability that the sampling error made in estimating the mean length of time employed by all women with one job by that of a random sample of 50 such women will be at most 20 weeks

Roman, a health data officer, was tasked to create a report describing the height of all the children ages 12-15 years in a small town in Rome. He measured the height of all the 37 children (ages 12-15 years) in that small town. Describe the height using the following: Mean, Median and Mode Minimum and Maximum values Range Variance and Standard Deviation Coefficient of Variation 25th, 50th, and 75th Percentiles Interquartile Range Number of outliers

Periodically, customers of a financial services company are asked to evaluate the company's financial consultants and services. Higher ratings on the client satisfaction survey indicate better service, with 7 the maximum service rating. Independent samples of service ratings for two financial consultants are summarized here. Consultant A has 10 years of experience, whereas consultant B has 1 year of experience. Use a = 0.05 and test to see whether the consultant with more experience has the higher population mean service rating. Assume the population variances are unequal.

An automobile manufacturer has given its van a 50.6 miles/gallon (MPG) rating. An independent testing firm has been contracted to test the actual MPG for this van since it is believed that the van has an incorrect manufacturer's MPG rating. After testing 220 vans, they found a mean MPG of 50.5. Assume the population variance is known to be 1.69. A level of significance of 0.01 will be used. Find the P-value of the test statistic. you may write the P-value as a range using interval notation, or as a decimal value rounded to four decimal places.
