On average, a sample of n = 36 scores from a normal population with σ = 10 will provide a better estimate of the population mean than a researcher would get with a sample of n = 9 scores from a normal population with σ = 10.

Two samples were drawn independently from two normal populations. Sample 1: 11.6, 11.35, 10.1, 10.85, 10.35, 10.6, and 11.1.Sample 2: 5.85, 8.85, 9.85, 11.85 and 7.85.Test to determine whether the means of the two population differs (use α=0.05).
If chi-square is NOT statistically significant with a sample size of 100 and sample size is increased to 1,000, the new chi-square: a. will have the same likelihood of being statistically significant than the previous chi-square b. cannot tell until the new chi-square is calculated c. will be less likely to be statistically significant d. will be more likely to be statistically signficant
Suppose we have two normal populations denoted A and B, and we want to compare their population variances by estimating the ratio: variance of population B divided by variance of population A. We have an independent random sample of size 15 from population A and an independent random sample of size 9 from population B. The sample variance for population B turns out to be 30 percent larger than that for population A. What is the 99 percent confidence interval for the ratio: population variance of population B divided by population variance of population A? Use stattrek.org for finding the needed critical values.
In the year 2033, Sarai Patterson is a leading traveling nurse. Sarai is interested in reducing the mean recovery time for patients after experiencing a serious injury (assume recovery times are normally distributed). Suppose the mean recovery time is presently 8.6 months. Sarai takes a random sample of 46 patients that have experienced serious injury to participate in a new treatment program and finds the sample mean is 8.1 months and a sample standard deviation of 1.2 months. Using α = 0.05, answer the following questions. a) What is the setup for your null and alternative hypothesis? b) What is the value of the test statistic? c) What is/are the critical value(s)?
Given two independent random samples with the following results: n1=12x‾1=73s1=27n1=12x‾1=73s1=27 n2=12x‾2=102s2=22n2=12x‾2=102s2=22 Use this data to find the 95%95% confidence interval for the true difference between the population means. Assume that the population variances are equal and that the two populations are normally distributed. Step 1 of 3 : Find the point estimate that should be used in constructing the confidence interval.
Suppose that weights of college mathematics textbooks in the United States are normally distributed with mean µ = 2.25 lbs and variance σ2 = 0.2025 lbs. Find the weight that corresponds to Q3 and interpret this measure of position in the context of the problem.
The standard error of most sample estimators approaches zero as the sample size increases, so almost any difference between the sample statistic and the hypothesized parameter value, no matter how tiny, will be significant if the sample size is large enough. Researchers who deal with large samples must expect “significant” effects, even when an effect is too slight to have any practical importance. Is an improvement of 0.2 mpg in fuel economy important to Toyota buyers? Is a 0.5 percent loss of market share important to Hertz? Is a laptop battery life increase of 15 minutes important to Dell customers? Such questions depend not so much on statistics as on a cost/benefit calculation. Since resources are always scarce, a dollar spent on a quality improvement always has an opportunity cost (the foregone alternative). If we spend money to make a certain product improvement, then some other project may have to be shelved. Since we can’t do everything, we must ask whether a proposed product…
The Wilcoxon signed-rank test can be used to perform a hypothesis test for a population median, η, as well as for a population mean, µ. Why is that so?

A two-way ANOVA experiment with interaction was conducted. Factor A had three levels (columns), factor B had five levels (rows), and six observations were obtained for each combination. Assume normality in the underlying populations. The results include the following sum of squares terms: SST=1542 SSA= 1042 SSB = 358 SSAB = 39 a. Construct an ANOVA table.

The electric cooperative needs to know the mean household usage of electricity by its non-commercial customers in kWh per day. They would like the estimate to have a maximum error of 0.14 kWh. A previous study found that for an average family the variance is 4.84 kWh and the mean is 19.1 kWh per day. If they are using a 80% level of confidence, how large of a sample is required to estimate the mean usage of electricity?
