Question
The manager of a fleet of automobiles is testing two different brands of radial tires and assigns one tire of each brand at random to the two rear wheels of eight cars and runs the cars until the tires wear out. The data, in kilometers, follow. Perform a hypothesis test at 0.05 level of significance. What is the Null and Alternative Hypthesis? Define the problem.

- Find the z-score and p-value.arrow_forwardA study was conducted in which students were asked to estimate the number of calories in a cheeseburger. One group was asked to do this after thinking about a calorie-laden cheesecake. A second group was asked to do this after thinking about an organic fruit salad. The mean number of calories estimated was 798 for the group that thought about the cheesecake and 1013 for the group that thought about the organic fruit salad. Suppose that the study was based on a sample of 20 students in each group, and the standard deviation of the number of calories estimated was 124 for the people who thought about the cheesecake first and 143 for the people who thought about the organic fruit salad first. Complete parts (a) through (e) below. a. State the null and alternative hypotheses if you want to determine whether the mean estimated number of calories in the cheeseburger is lower for the people who thought about the cheesecake first than for the people who thought about the organic fruit salad…arrow_forwardA physical therapist wanted to know whether the mean step pulse of men was less than the mean step pulse of women. She randomly selected 54 men and 75 women to participate in the study. Each subject was required to step up and down a 6-inch platform. The pulse of each subject was then recorded. The following results were obtained. Two sample I for Men vs Women Mean 112.8 118.1 StDev SE Mean Men Women 95% Cl for mu Men - mu Women (-9.81, - 0.79) T-Test mu Men = mu Women (vs <) T= - 2,34 P = 0.0104 DF = 126 54 11.2 14.5 1.5 75 1.7 P-value = 0.0104 State the researcher's conclusion. Which of the following is correct? O A. Fail to reject Ho, there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean step pulse of men was less than the mean step pulse of women O B. Reject Ho, there is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean step pulse of men was less than the mean step pulse of women O C.

- A group of students in experimental lab are wanting to see if the average psychology major at a university has the same level of psychological knowledge as the general population. They assess 31 psychology majors using an overall psychology assessment and calculate a mean score of 20.91 and a standard deviation of 1.63. They know the general population has a mean score on this test of 18.32. The students think that psychology majors will know more about psychology than the general population. Name the: 1) independent variable 2) scaling for independent variable 3) dependant variable 4) scaling for dependent variable Answer the following questions: 5) can random Selection be used, explain 6) can random assignment be used, explain 7) based on what you know what statistical test should the students use to examine their hypothesis? 8) why is that test most appropriate? 9) what are the assumptions of this test? 10) what is the Null and alternative hypothesis? 11) what is/are the…arrow_forwardPlease answer B, C & D.arrow_forward???arrow_forward
- he level of cretaine phosphokinase (CPK) in blood samples measures the amount of muscle damage for athletes. At Jock State University, the level of CPK was determined for each of 25 football players and 15 soccer players before and after practice. The two groups of athletes are trained independently. The data summary is as follows : For football players: Data for Football players n=25 Before Practice After Practice Difference (Before-After) Mean 254.73 225.6 29.13 Standard deviation 115.5 132.6 21.00 For soccer players: Data for Soccer players n=15 Before Practice After Practice Difference (Before-After) Mean 177.1 173.8 3.3 Standard deviation 60.7 64.4 6.88 Assume that all the data above are normal Test the claim that the mean CPK level has DECREASED for soccer players AFTER exercise (compared to the mean BEFORE exercise), using α=0.10. AFTER practice, do football players have a DIFFERENT mean CPK values compared to soccer players? Test this claim by…arrow_forwardplease provide a clear solution and answer within 30 minutes, thank you!arrow_forwardA researcher conducts a study to investigate whether the obesity rate rural communities differ from the obesity rate from the population at large.
