Research has shown that IQ scores have been increasing for years (Flynn, 1984, 1999). The phenomenon is called the Flynn effect and the data indicate that the increase appears to average about 7 points per decade. To examine this effect, a researcher obtains an IQ test with instructions for scoring from 10 years ago and plans to administer the = 25 of today's high school students. Ten years ago, the scores on this IQ test produced a standardized distribution with a mean of µ = 100 and a standard deviation o = 15. If there actually has been a test to a sample of n 7-point increase in the average IQ during the past 10 years, then find the power of the hypothesis test for each of the following. The researcher uses a two-tailed hypothesis test with a = .05 to determine the data indicate a significant change in IQ over the past 10 years. (Round your answer for z-score value to two decimal places.) The power for the test is the probability of obtaining a z-score less than which is p = The researcher uses a one-tailed hypothesis test with a = .05 to determine the data indicate a significant increase in IQ over the past 10 years. (Round your answer for z-score value to two decimal places.) The power for the test is the probability of obtaining a z-score than which is p =

You may need to use the appropriate appendix table or technology to answer this question. In a study entitled How Undergraduate Students Use Credit Cards, it was reported that undergraduate students have a mean credit card balance of $3,173. This figure was an all-time high and had increased 44% over the previous five years. Assume that a current study is being conducted to determine if it can be concluded that the mean credit card balance for undergraduate students has continued to increase compared to the original report. Based on previous studies, use a population standard deviation  ? = $1,000. (a) State the null and alternative hypotheses. H0: ? < 3,173 Ha: ? ≥ 3,173 H0: ? = 3,173 Ha: ? ≠ 3,173      H0: ? > 3,173 Ha: ? ≤ 3,173 H0: ? ≥ 3,173 Ha: ? < 3,173 H0: ? ≤ 3,173 Ha: ? > 3,173 (b) What is the test statistic for a sample of 170 undergraduate students with a sample mean credit card balance of $3,305? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)   What is…

In a specific year, SAT scores were Normally distributed with mean 1026 and standard deviation 209; i. e. N(1026,209)N(1026,209).  What proportion of these scores will be above 1500?

Liu et al. (2015) recently reported the results of a study examining whether happy people live longer. The study followed a large sample of British women, aged 50 to 69, over a 10-year period. At the beginning of the study, the women were asked several questions including how often they felt happy. After 10 years, roughly 4% of the women had died. The following table shows a frequency distribution similar to the results obtained in the study. Lived Died Within 10 Years Total Happy Most of the Time 382 18 400 Unhappy Most of the Time 194 6 200 Total 576 24 n = 600 Do the data indicate a significant relationship between living longer and being happy most of the time? Test with α = .05. (Round your answers to two decimal places for χ²-critical and χ².) χ²-critical = χ² = Conclusion: Fail to reject the null hypothesis. There is a relationship between living longer and being happy most of the time. Reject the null hypothesis. There is no relationship between living longer and being…

data from the office for national Statistics show that the mean age at which men in greatbritain get married is 30.8 years (the Guardian, february 15, 2013). a news reporternoted that this represents a continuation of the trend of waiting until a later age to wed.a new sample of 47 recently wed british men provided their age at the time of marriage.these data are contained in the datafile britainMarriages. do these data indicate that themean age of british men at the time of marriage exceeds the mean age in 2013? test thishypothesis at a = .05. what is your conclusion?.

According to a 2006 survey conducted by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), birth rates peak slightly between July and October each year. While a slight numerical increase in birth rates is often observed, this difference is assumed to be statistically non-significant. Thus, we would expect to see an equal number of people born during each month of the year in the United States. The "Birth Data.jasp" contains the birth months for 1380 babies (N = 1380) born during the year 2006 in the United States collected by the CDC. Conduct a Chi-Square Goodness of Fit Test at α = 0.05, to see if the number of babies born each month “fits” with the CDC’s assumptions about the population.   Identify the correct null hypothesis.   A. H0: The number of babies born throughout the year is equal across all 12 months B. H0: The number of babies born during the summer months is greater than the number of babies born during the rest of the year C. HA: The number of babies born in…

1. Find the p-value. (Round to three or more decimal places.) 2. At the 0.01 level of significance, can the doctor conclude that the mean recovery time of patients who have the new procedure is less than the mean recovery time of patients who have the standard procedure?

Suppose that the time required to complete a 1040R tax form is normally distributed with a mean of 100 minutes and a standard deviation of 20 minutes. What proportion of 1040R tax forms will be completed in at least 105 minutes? Round your answer to at least four decimal places.
