- Below indicate whether the appropriate test would be an independent t-test, dependent t-test, One-way ANOVA, or z-test. A researcher wants to know if people find baby animals cuter than adult animals. All of the participants in a study are shown 10 pictures of baby animals and 10 pictures of adult animals. They are asked to rate (on a 1 to 10 scale) how cute they think each animal is.arrow_forwardThe average score on a statistics test was 2.52 with a standard deviation of 0.75. The teacher suspects that the exam was very difficult; Based on the above, he wants to adjust the scores so that the mean is 3.58 and the standard deviation is 0.25. Compute the values a and b such that the fit of type aX+b provide the desired mean and variance? Calculate: a=?b=?arrow_forwardAgricultural scientists are testing a new chicken feed to see whether it increases the number of eggs laid. The scientists divided a flock in half and gave half of the chickens the new feed, while the other half were given a regular feed. The eggs laid in a one-year period for a random sample of 10 chickens using the new feed and 10 chickens using the regular feed are recorded. Assume that the population standard deviation of number of eggs laid is 12 eggs per year for both groups and that the number of eggs laid per year is normally distributed. Let the chickens given the new feed be the first sample, and let the chickens given the regular feed be the second sample. The scientists conduct a two-mean hypothesis test at the 0.05 level of significance to test if there is evidence that the new feed increases the number of eggs laid. (a) Which answer choice shows the correct null and alternative hypotheses for this test? Select the correct answer below: H0:μ1=μ2;…arrow_forward
- Sony would like to test the hypothesis that the average age of a PlayStation user is different from the average age of an Xbox user. A random sample of 32 PlayStation users had an average age of 33.7 years while a random sample of 36 Xbox users had an average age of 35.6 years. Assume that the population standard deviation for the age of PlayStation and Xbox users is 3.7 and 3.5 years, respectively. Sony would like to set alpha is 0.10. The critical value for this hypothesis test would bearrow_forwardThe next six questions refer to the following scenario: A random sample of 25 students were asked to self-identify as "statistics-lovers" or "statistics-adorers." 16 students self-identified as "lovers" and 9 students as "adorers." Below table summarizes the mean of a statistics test and standard deviation that was given after the self-identification. Test the following hypothesis at alpha=5% (0.05). HO: Mean Statistics Lovers = Mean Statistics Adorers HA: Mean Statistics Lovers Mean Statistics Adorers You can assume equal variance.arrow_forwardFind Test Statistic, P value, and Z score.arrow_forward
- A hiring company claims that the variance of the annual salaries for managers is greater in Florida than Georgia. You select a sample of 28 managers in Florida and find the standard deviation to be $11,000. You select a sample of 24 managers in Georgia and find the standard deviation to be $9,200. At α=0.05, can you support the hiring company's claim?arrow_forwardAfter 84 students at a particular university take a psychological evaluation, the sample mean score on the test is calculated to be 117 with a standard deviation of 44. We are interested in testing whether or not the mean score of the students at this university is different than the published population average of 112. Calculate the value of the test statistic and then use that to determine the appropriate p-value. 0.5952 0.2976 0.1488 0.8512 1.7024 0.1488 0.0744arrow_forwardUse the data and table below to test the indicated claim about the means of two paired populations (matched pairs). Assume that the two samples are each simple random samples selected from normally distributed populations. Make sure you identify all values. The table below shows the blood glucose of 20 students before breakfast and two hours after breakfast, using a specific insulin dosing formula to cover carbohydrates. Is there compelling statistical evidence that the specific insulin dosing formula is effective in reducing blood glucose levels? Use a significance level of 0.05. We have the differences (gain or loss), but we still need to compute the mean, standard deviation, and know the sample size for the differences (use Excel or Sheets for this computation). Once those are found, we can apply methods that are used for a 1 sample t-test.
