Q6A

A study was conducted that measured the total brain volume (TBV) (in mm3) of patients that had schizophrenia and patients that are considered normal.  Table #1 contains the TBV of the normal patients and Table #2 contains the TBV of schizophrenia patients ("SOCR data Oct2009," 2013).

Is there enough evidence to show that the patients with schizophrenia have less TBV on average than a patient that is considered normal?  Test at the 10% level.

(i)  Let μ1 = mean TBV of patients that are considered normal.  Let μ2 = mean TBV of patients that had schizophrenia.  Which of the following statements correctly defines the null hypothesis HO?

A.  μ1 + μ2 = 0

B.  μ1 – μ2 < 0  (μ1 < μ2)

C.  μ1 − μ2 > 0  (μ1 > μ2)

D.  μ1μ2 = 0  (μ1 = μ2)

Enter letter corresponding to correct answer

 

 (ii)   Let μ1 = mean TBV of patients that are considered normal.  Let μ2 = mean TBV of patients that had schizophrenia.  Which of the following statements correctly defines the alternative hypothesis HA?

A.  μ1μ2 = 0  (μ1 = μ2)

B.  μ1 – μ2 < 0  (μ1 < μ2)

C.  μ1 − μ2 > 0  (μ1 > μ2)

D.  μ1 + μ2 = 0  

Enter letter corresponding to correct answer 

 

 (iii)  Enter the level of significance α used for this test:

Enter in decimal form.  Examples of correctly entered answers:  0.01    0.02    0.05    0.10
