Suppose we have three independent groups: X1, X2 and X3, and the population standard deviations are known as σ1 = σ2 = σ3 = 10. For each group, we observe 50 samples, and x ̄1 = 200, x ̄2 = 190, and x ̄3 = 210. Construct a 90% confidence interval for μ1 + μ2 + μ3.

- Two separate samples are selected from the same population. Each have an n=8. Both samples receive a different treatment. After the treatment, the first sample has SS=16 and the second sample has SS=24. With a mean of 3 for the first group and mean of 6 for the second group, compute the t statistic. State the conclusion of these findings.arrow_forwardTo compare the dry braking distances from 30 to 0 miles per hour for two makes of automobiles, a safety engineer conducts braking tests for 35 models of Make A and 35 models of Make B. The mean braking distance for Make A is 43 feet. Assume the population standard deviation is 4.6 feet. The mean braking distance for Make B is 46 feet. Assume the population standard deviation is 4.5 feet. At α=0.10, can the engineer support the claim that the mean braking distances are different for the two makes of automobiles? Assume the samples are random and independent, and the populations are normally distributed.

Let the predictor variable x be the first variable given. The 100 paired measurements yield x = 167.50 cm, y =81.41 kg, r=0.232, P-value = 0.020, and y = - 109 + 1.17x. Find the best predicted value of y (weight) given an adult male who is 145 cm tall. Use a 0.01 significance level. The best predicted value of y for an adult male who is 145 cm tall is kg.
