- ath ess Most Watched Ani... A pharmaceutical company claims their new diabetes medication results in less variance in a patient's glucose level than if the patient were on no medication at all. An endocrinologist wishes to test this claim. She divides participants randomly into two groups. Group A consists of 20 diabetics who received the medication; group B consists of 26 diabetics who received a placebo. After two weeks, the blood sugar level of each patient in each group was measured with the following results (in mg/dL): Group A: 77.8, 229.4, 199.9, 110.1, 180.2, 116.1, 139.7, 171.1, 37.4, 158.1, 88.4, 195.5, 246.1, 142.4, 178.1, 105.5, 179.6, 146.1, 78.8, 123.7 Group B: 124.5, 130.1, 136, 162.8, 113.4, 72.8, 142.6, 50.3, 179.8, 197, 230, 194.3, 171, 109.3, 114.4, 107.5, 114.7, 195.3, 127.7, 126.4, 85.6, 166.7, 182.3, 113.5, 216.7, 162.8 Ho: Perform a hypothesis test using a 6% level of significance to test the pharmaceutical company's claim.

Local merchants thought this average was too high for their area. They contracted an agency to conduct a study. A random sample of 60 consumers was taken at a local shopping mall the Saturday before Mother’s Day and produced the sample mean amount of $94.27. If σ = $29.50, does the sample provide sufficient evidence to support the merchants’ claim at the 0.03 level of significance? 1. Do you recognize any flaws in this study and what conclusions can you draw? The article “Well-fed Crickets Bowl Maidens Over” reports that female field crickets are attracted to males that have high chirp rates and hypothesized that chirp rate is related to nutritional status.
