Question
Formulate the indicated conclusion in nontechnical terms. Be sure to address the original claim. The principal of a middle school claims that test scores of the seventh-graders at his school vary less than the test scores of the seventh-graders at a neighboring school, which have variation described by σ= 14.7. Assuming that a hypothesis test of the claim has been conducted and that the conclusion is to reject the null hypothesis, state the conclusion in nontechnical terms.
a) There is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that the standard deviation is greater than 14.7
b) There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the standard deviation is less than 14.7
c) There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the standard deviation is greater than 14.7
d) There is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that the standard deviation is less than 14.7

- 4. Dr. Phil wanted to know if mothers give more hugs to their children than fathers do. He used 8 married couples so that each mother and father would be matched on the number of children for his sample. Dr. Phil then asked each parent to report the number of hugs that they gave their children over the course of 2 weeks. Assume the parametric assumptions were NOT violated. Conduct an appropriate statistical test for him using alpha .05 and the eight steps of hypothesis testing.

These scores represent their sleep quality based on a 5 point Likert scale with higher numbers meaning better sleep quality. Use a μ = 2.4 SD = 0.75. Do these individuals differ in their sleep quality compared to the group average? Solve using the five steps of hypothesis testing. how to find Ho: M and HA: M (this is part of an assignment that can be completed as many times as necessary for 100% or whatever grade you choose, I'm just trying to understand how to do all of this because it's an online summer course and I'm very lost.

To test this claim, a random sample of 50 adults was selected, and their average coffee consumption was found to be 1.85 cups of daily coffee consumption per day is 0.5 cups. Using a = 0.10, complete parts a and b below. a. Is the coffee industry's claim supported by this sample? Determine the null and alternative hypotheses.

- 1. The incidence of cancer among phosphate mine workers and their exposure to radiation was investigated. Cancer incidence was recorded among 60 phosphate mine workers who had 0-29 working level months (WLM) of exposure, 60 phosphate mine workers who had 30-89 WLM of exposure, and 60 phosphate mine workers who had 90-120 WLM of exposure. The number of cancer incidences for each group are presented in Table 1. Table 1: Two-way Table of Counts Cancer Incidence Exposure Level Yes No Total 0-29 WLM 20 40 60 30-89 WLM 33 27 60 90-120 WLM 43 17 60 Total 96 84 180 Perform a x? test, at the 5% level of significance, whether cancer incidence rates differ between the three levels of radiation among phosphate mine workers.arrow_forwardFor the situation described below, state the null and alternative hypotheses to be tested.
