Two researchers conducted a study in which two groups of students were asked to answer 42 trivia questions from a board game. The students in group 1 were asked to spend 5 minutes thinking about what it would mean to be a professor, while the students in group 2 were asked to think about soccer hooligans. These pretest thoughts are a form of priming. The 200 students in group 1 had a mean score of 21.2 with a standard deviation of 4.1, while the 200 students in group 2 had a mean score of 17.5 with a standard deviation of 3.8. Complete parts (a) and (b) below. (a) Determine the 95% confidence interval for the difference in scores, H, - H2. Interpret the interval.

Golf-course designers have become concerned that old courses are becoming obsolete since new technology has given golfers the ability to hit the ball so far. Designers, therefore, have proposed that new golf courses need to be built expecting that the average golfer can hit the ball more than 245 yards on average. Suppose a random sample of 139 golfers be chosen so that their mean driving distance is 243.3 yards. The population standard deviation is 48.9. Use a 5% significance level. Calculate the followings for a hypothesis test where Ho : µ = 245 and H1 : µ < 245 : The test statistic is The final conclustion is A. There is not sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the mean driving distance is equal to 245 B. There is sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the mean driving distance is equal to 245

To evaluate if auditors might be helped in determining the chances of fraud if they carefully measure cash flow, samples of midlevel auditors from CPA firms were asked to indicate the chance of material fraud on a scale from 0 to 100 for a case. A random sample of 36 auditors used the cash-flow information. Their mean assessment was 35.51, and the sample standard deviation was 24.14. For an independent random sample of 36 auditors not using the cash-flow information, the sample mean and standard deviation were, respectively, 40.58 and 29.18. Assuming that the two population distributions are normal with equal variances, test against a two-sided alternative the null hypothesis that the population means are equal. (Use α = 0.05.) Click the icon to view a table of critical values for the Student's t-distribution. Let μx be the mean assessment for auditors who measured cash flow and μy be the mean assessment for auditors not using the cash-flow information. Determine the null and…
