Sham Treatment 5. Researchers conducted a study to determine whether magnets are effective in treating back pain. The results are shown in the table for the treatment (with magnets) group and the sham (or placebo) group. The results are a measure of reduction in back pain. Assume that the two samples are independent simple random samples selected from normally distributed populations, and do not assume that the population standard deviations are equal. Complete parts (a) and (b) below. H2 27 27 0.42 0.47 1.38 0.95 a. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that those treated with magnets have a greater mean reduction in pain than those given a sham treatment. What are the null and alternative hypotheses?

Researchers compared two groups of competitive rowers: a group of skilled rowers and a group of novices. The researchers measured the angular velocity of each subject’s right knee, which describes the rate at which the knee joint opens as the legs push the body back on the sliding seat. The sample size ?, the sample mean, and the sample standard deviation for the two groups are given below.   Group N x̄ s Skilled 16 4.2 0.6 Novice 16 3.2 0.8   Conduct the test. Provide your significance test formula, test statistic, p-value, and degrees of freedom if applicable. What do you conclude at  σ = 0.01?

Three randomly selected children are surveyed. The ages of the children are 2, 3, and 10. Assume that samples of size n = 2 are randomly selected with replacement from the population of 2, 3, and 10. Listed below are the nine different samples. Complete parts (a) through (d). 2,2 2,3 2,10 3,2 3,3 3,10 10,2 10,3 10,10 a. Find the value of the population variance o².

A magazine claims that the mean amount spent by a customer at Burger Stop is greater than the mean amount spent by a customer at Fry World. The results for samples of customer transactions for the two fast food restaurants are shown below. At x = 0.01, can you support the magazine's claim? Assume the population variances are equal. Assume the samples are random and independent, and the populations are normally distributed. Complete parts (a) through (e) below. Burger Stop Fry World X₁ = $11.22 X₂ = $10.59 $₁ = $0.79 $2 = $0.64 n₂ = 10 n₁ = 12 (a) Identify the claim and state Ho and H₂. Which is the correct claim below? O A. "The mean amount spent by a customer at Burger Stop is greater than the mean amount spent by a customer at Fry World." OB. "The mean amount spent by a customer at Burger Stop is equal to the mean amount spent by a customer at Fry World." O c. "The mean amount spent by a customer at Burger Stop is not equal to the mean amount spent by a customer at Fry World." O D.…
