is problem, assume that the distribution of differences is approximately normal. Note: For degrees of freedom d.f. not in the Student's t table, use the closest d.f. that is smaller. In some situations, this choice of d.f. may increase the P-value by a small amount and therefore produce a slightly more "conservative" answer.
In an effort to determine if rats perform certain tasks more quickly if offered larger rewards, the following experiment was performed. On day 1, a group of three rats was given a reward of one food pellet each time they ran a maze. A second group of three rats was given a reward of five food pellets each time they ran the maze. On day 2, the groups were reversed, so the first group now got five food pellets for running the maze and the second group got only one pellet for running the same maze. The average times in seconds for each rat to run the maze 30 times are shown in the following table.
| Rat | A | B | C | D | E | F |
| Time with one food pellet | 3.8 | 4.1 | 3.0 | 3.1 | 3.5 | 3.9 |
| Time with five food pellets | 3.0 | 3.5 | 2.8 | 3.3 | 2.8 | 3.0 |
Do these data indicate that rats receiving larger rewards tend to run the maze in less time? Use a 5% level of significance
What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

- In the population of senior students at Shermer High School, the proportion who plan to attend college is 0.64. In a random sample of 100 students from this population, the proportion who plan to attend college is 0.75. We would call the value 0.64 a P-value. z-score. parameter statistic significance level.arrow_forwardUniversity students who drink alcohol, usually consume about 6 drinks per week. Given that about 60% of students drink alcohol, what would you predict to be the shape of the distribution of the number of cups drunk for university students (which include those who drink alcohol and those who don't)? Select one: O a. negatively skewed with scores bunched at 6 drinks per week b. normal distribution with one peak at 6 drinks a week leptokurtic with scores bunching around 6 drinks a week O d. positively skewed with scores bunched at 3 drinks a week.

Note: For degrees of freedom d.f. not in the Student's t table, use the closest d.f. that is smaller. In some situations, this choice of d.f. may increase the P-value by a small amount and therefore produce a slightly more "conservative" answer. In the following data pairs, A represents the cost of living index for utilities and B represents the cost of living index for transportation. The data are paired by metropolitan areas in the United States. A random sample of 46 metropolitan areas gave the following information.arrow_forward

For his study, the student bought three bags of the colored candies from local stores and counted the number of each color. The average number of each color in the three bags (rounded to the nearest integer) was distributed as shown to the right. Use this data to complete parts (a) through (c). (... a.
