7)T FLet XB and XẠ denote, respectively, the weight of a person before and after a certain weightloss diet regime. If D = XA- XB, then the mean of the differences, D, calculated on a randomsample of size n, can be used as a basis to test Ho: µD = 0 against H1: µD > 0 and thus verify ifthe weight loss diet has been effective.A t-test statistic is usually built as the ratio of an estimator of the population parameter ofinterest (or a function of the population parameters of interest in the case of the difference oftwo means), divided by its standard error.A significant treatment-by-block interaction in the ANOVA for an RCBD with more than onereplicate per treatment per block indicates that differences among treatments are not constantfrom block to block.The confidence level y represents the probability that an interval made of a lower bound andan upper bound, both random, contains the true but unknown value of the population parameterof interest.The rejection of Ho against a given H1 at a = 0.10 automatically implies its rejection againstthe same H1 at a = 0.01.In simple linear regression analysis, a residual is calculated as the difference between theobserved value of the dependent variable and the value predicted by the model for thecorresponding value of the independent variable.The sample mean X is considered an upward biased estimator of the population mean µ whenone of the observed values x, calculated from an i.i.d. random sample of size n, is greater thanH.A negative linear correlation between X and Y implies that when X decreases, Y decreases.When testing Ho: u = -8 against H1: u >-8, the power of the test is greater for u1 = -6 thanfor µi = -7, all other things being the same.In an RCBD with 1 replicate per treatment per block, blocks are used to reduce the Error SS inthe ANOVA decomposition.

A population has a mean of µ = 20. A sample is selected from this population and a treatment is administered to each individual in the sample. The scores from this sample are summarized as follows: n = 16 ,X = 28 ,s2 = 64. Do the sample data support the conclusion that the treatment has a significant effect? Test with α = .05.

The Cadet is a popular model of sport utility vehicle, known for its relatively high resale value. The bivariate data given below were taken from a sample of fifteen Cadets, each bought new two years ago, and each sold used within the past month. For each Cadet in the sample, we have listed both the mileage x (in thousands of miles) that the Cadet had on its odometer at the time it was sold used and the price y (in thousands of dollars) at which the Cadet was sold used. The least-squares regression line for these data has equation y = 40.86-0.45x. This line is shown in the scatter plot below.

Total fat content (including saturated fat and trans fats) is a key characteristic of cheese. Assume that for a given type of cheese, total fat content (10-1 g/g of cheese) follows a normal distribution with a population mean of 2.85 (unit) and a population variance of 0.01 (unit2). Such an assumption is reasonable because fat content varies inside cheese and the “errors” around the mean total fat content (i.e. the value appearing on the etiquette) are distributed like a bell shape. a) What is the probability that the total fat content of this cheese exceeds 3 (unit)? b) What is the probability that the total fat content varies from 2.8 to 3 (unit)?
