Question
In the general population, the mean IQ score is 100, with standard
deviation σ = 15. A random sample of 36 newly tested incoming students at
Community College revealed a sample mean IQ of 104.5. Does this sample give
good evidence (at a 5% level of significance) that the mean IQ of all
incoming students is different from 100?

To test this result a random survey of 60 individuals who have credit cards was conducted. The survey only includes the number of credit cards per participant. The results of the survey are attached below. (a) What is the variable of interest in this study? Is it qualitative or quantitative? (b) Do the results of the survey imply that the mean number of cards per individual is less than 4.5? Use the a = 0.05 level of significance. E Click the icon to view the data from the survey.

- Many people believe that the average number of Facebook friends is 328. The population standard deviation is 32.2. A random sample of 60 high school students in a particular county revealed that the average number of Facebook friends was 340. At α = 0.05, is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean number of friends is greater than 328?arrow_forwardIn a test of the effectiveness of garlic for lowering cholesterol, 36 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 0.2 and a standard deviation of 1.76. Use a 0.05 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?arrow_forward
