Question
Reconsider Dr. Sameer's research question about how much time Cal Poly students spend on watching television. Dr. Sameer surveys a random sample of 100 Cal Poly students and finds that the mean number of hours per day watching TV turns out to be 3.0 hours.
Suppose that to answer the research question Dr. Sameer conducted a simulation under the null hypothesis. The plot below shows the null distribution with a total of 150 simulated samples (Tip: note that I did not run 1000 simulated samples here!).
- The mean of the null distribution is 2.79
- The standard deviation of the null distribution is 1.6.
-Calculate and report the p-value from the simulation provided (attached image). Leave your answer in a decimal format.

Thus, the null and alternative hypotheses are Ho: mu = 520 Ha: mu is not = to 520 You set out to conduct a hypothesis test at the 95% level. Mean yields are distributed Normally. You take a sample of 36 different acres. From this sample, you calculate a mean yield of 573 and a std deviation of 24. Do you reject or not-reject the null hypothesis? Group of answer choices Do not reject the null hypothesis. Reject the null hypothesis.arrow_forward
- Choose the appropriate statistical test. When computing, be sure to round each answer as indicated. A dentist wonders if depression affects ratings of tooth pain. In the general population, using a scale of 1-10 with higher values indicating more pain, the average pain rating for patients with toothaches is 6.8. A sample of 30 patients that show high levels of depression have an average pain rating of 7.1 (variance 0.8). What should the dentist determine? 1. Calculate the estimated standard error. (round to 3 decimals). [st.error] 2. What is thet-obtained? (round to 3 decimals). 3. What is the t-cv? (exact value) 4. What is your conclusion?

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. Do these data indicate that rats receiving larger rewards tend to…arrow_forwardA researcher predicts that smoking cigarettes decreases a person's sense of smell.
