- A random sample of 82 eighth grade students' scores on a national mathematics assessment test has a mean score of 280. This test result prompts a state school administrator to declare that the mean score for the state's eighth graders on this exam is more than 275. Assume that the population standard deviation is 36. At α=0.05, is there enough evidence to support the administrator's claim? Find the standardized test statistic z, and its corresponding area. z=enter your response here (Round to two decimal places as needed.) Recall that a standard normal distribution table gives the area to the left of a z-score. Determine the area to the left of z. Find the P Value Decide whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis. Interpret your decision in the context of the original claim.arrow_forwardA researcher prepared a figure showing sample quantiles as a function of the quantiles of a standard normal distribution, and concluded that the resulting line could be well-described using the linear equation: Xi = 1.2 Zi + 14.6 Based on this information, what value would you suggest as an estimate of the variance for this dataset?arrow_forwardA person's body mass index (BMI) is computed by dividing the weight (kg) by the square of height (m).

- A real estate company is interested in testing whether the mean time that families in Gotham have been living in their current homes is less than families in Metropolis. Assume that the two population variances are equal. A random sample of 100 families from Gotham and a random sample of 150 families in Metropolis yield the accompanying data on length of residence in current homes. Suppose α=0.10. Which of the following represents the result of the relevant hypothesis test? Gotham: XG=35 months, S2G=900 Metropolis: XM=50 months, S2M=1050 A. The alternative hypothesis is rejected. B. The null hypothesis is rejected. C. The null hypothesis is not rejected. D. Insufficient information exists on which to decide.arrow_forwardTwo independent samples have been selected, 88 observations from population 1 and 51 observations from population 2. The sample means have been calculated to be ?⎯⎯⎯1=12.8x¯1=12.8 and ?⎯⎯⎯2=14.7x¯2=14.7. From previous experience with these populations, it is known that the variances are ?21=26σ12=26 and ?22=30σ22=30.

- An experiment is conducted to compare the maximum load capacity in tons (the maximum weight that can be tolerated without breaking) for two alloys A and B. It is known that the two standard deviations in load capacity are equal at 6 tons each. The experiment is conducted on 40 specimens of each alloy (A and B) and the results are XA = 62.5, XB = 58.5, and XA -XB = 4. The manufacturers of alloy A are convinced that this evidence shows conclusively that μA HB and strongly supports the claim that their alloy is superior. Manufacturers of alloy B claim that the experiment could easily have given XA -XB = 4 even if the two population means are equal. Complete parts (a) and (b) below. Click here to view page 1 of the standard normal distribution table. Click here to view page 2 of the standard normal distribution table. (a) Make an argument that manufacturers of alloy B are wrong. Do it by computing P(XA -XB >4 | μA = HB P(XA-XB > 4) = 4arrow_forwardThe IE Dept. is interested in the mean age of a certain population. A random sample of 10 individuals drawn from the population has a mean of 27. Assuming that the population is approximately normally distributed with variance 20, can we conclude that the mean is less than 30 years ? (α=0.10) . No, the mean age is equal to 30. No, because the mean age is more than 30 Yes, because the mean age is less than equal to 30. Yes, the mean age is smaller than 30arrow_forwardIndependent random samples selected from two normal populations produced the sample means and standard deviations shown to the right.

- Suppose the length of a particular type of snake is normally distributed with a mean of 50 inches and a standard deviation of 2.2 inches. You took a sample of 25 such snakes and the mean length for these snakes is 53 inches. a. Test the hypothesis that this sample came from a population with an average length of 50 inches. What is your conclusion if α = .05. Show your calculations including Excel functions used to do the calculations. b. Your friend believes that you took the sample from a population of snakes whose length is below 50 inches. Is your friend correct? What is your conclusion?
