The time married men with children spend on child care averages 6.9 hours per week. You belong to a professional group on family practices that would like to do its own study to determine whether the time married men in your area spend on child care per week differs from the reported mean of 6.9 hours per week. A sample of 40 married couples will be used with the data collected showing the hours per week the husband spends on child care. The sample data are contained in the table below. 6.2 7.0 4.5 8.8 5.5 8.8 8.4 9.9 9.6 11.8 9.1 8.1 6.8 9.3 6.8 5.9 7.2 11.9 4.4 0.5 9.6 10.0 6.5 7.5 8.1 8.6 0.5 9.3 3.5 8.2 7.5 7.6 6.4 3.8 6.8 7.8 7.6 6.2 5.9 2.5 a. What are the hypotheses if your group would like to determine whether the population mean number of hours married men are spending in child care differs from the mean reported by Time in your area? Select your answer 6.9 Select your answer v6.9 b. What is the sample mean (to 2 decimals)? 7.11 Calculate the value of the test statistic (to 2 decimals). What is the p value? Select your answer

A psychologist has designed an index to measure the social perspectives of elementary school children. The index is based on ratings of a child’s responses to questions about a set of photographs showing different social situations. The following are the indices measured on a random sample of 16 children attending elementary school in a particular district. 48, 75, 69, 58, 60, 68, 59, 66, 71, 52, 49, 60, 54, 55, 70, 57 For the data the mean index is 60.69 and the standard deviation is 8.26. Perform a statistical test to determine if the population mean index is greater than 50. a) Name of hypothesis test: b) H0: c) HA: d) Test Statistic: e) Rejection region: f) Decision in the context of the problem:
The midterm and final exam grades for a statistics course are provided in the data set below. Jaymes, a student in the class, scored 86 on both exams. Treat the given data sets as samples. Midterm: 80, 78, 85, 82, 79, 79, 78, 86, 80, 84, 78, 84, 80, 84, 81, 78, 81, 82, 78, 84 Final: 81, 88, 68, 69, 69 81, 82, 86, 76, 71, 72, 68, 77, 86, 68, 83, 84, 71, 81, 87 z-score for midterm: 1.857 z-score for final: 1.181 Based on the z-scores calculated above, which of Jaymes's grades is more unusual, the midterm grade or the final exam grade? Select the correct answer below: A. The absolute value of the z-score for the final exam grade is greater than for the midterm grade, so the final exam grade is more unusual. B. The absolute value of the z-score for the midterm exam grade is less than for the final grade, so the midterm grade is more unusual. C. The absolute value of the z-score for the midterm exam grade is greater than for the final grade, so the midterm grade is more…

I need help with something regarding this problem. The National Sleep Foundation recommends that adults aged 18 to 64 get an average of 8 hours of sleep per night. A survey of sleep hours was taken during a Statistics class. The data is listed below: 4, 5, 5, 5, 5.5, 6, 6, 6, 6, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 8, 8, 8, 8, 9, 9, 9, 10, 10 Do we have enough evidence at the 0.05 significance level to say that statistics students tend to get less sleep than the recommended average of 8 hours per night? How would I get the degrees of freedom?

A nationwide job recruiting firm wants to compare the annual incomes for childcare workers in Utah and Oregon. Due to recent trends in the childcare industry, the firm suspects that the mean annual income of childcare workers in Utah is less than the mean annual income of childcare workers in Oregon. To see if this is true, the firm selected a random sample of 20 childcare workers from Utah and an independent random sample of 20 childcare workers from Oregon and asked them to report their mean annual income. The data obtained were as follows. Annual income in dollars 27060 , 42320 , 36445 , 37895, 44564 , 35325 , 30313 , 28698, 33706 , 48365 , 26946 , 25063 , 28339 , 29265 , 40051 , 37026 , 40150 , 42753 , 27820, 39471 Utah 29769 , 48859 , 32480 , 36288,45102 , 46219 ,51098 , 45516 , 38834 , 44659 , 40755 , 38006 , 39947 , 29801 , 32200, 38731 , 41370 , 28059 , 33753 , 35271 Oregon Send data to calc... v Send data to Excel The population standard deviation for the annual incomes of…
