- Red Blood Cell Count: A simple random sample of 300 adult males is taken to measure the red blood cell count (in cells per microliter). Use a significance level of 0.01 to test the claim that the sample has a mean less than the population mean (μ = 5.4 million cells per microliter). Does the sample have a normal distribution? Explain why. Does the result suggest that the male sample has a red blood cell count below 5.4 million cells per microliter? Determine the descriptive statistics of the sample. State the statistical hypotheses: H0 and HA. Determine the α Is this test one or two tailed? What statistical conclusion did you reach regarding the question being evaluated?

A competitor bank checks the waiting times at both banks. The sample statistics are listed below. Test the local bank's claim. Use the information given below. Use a significance level of .05 and assume the variances are equal. Local Bank (n = 46, avg wait time x = 2.3, sample standard deviation s = 1.1) Competitor Bank (n = 50, avg wait time x = 2.6, sample standard deviation s = 1.0) Are the samples dependent or independent? State your Null/Alternative hypotheses What is the test - statistic? What is the p-value? What are the critical values? Does the test - statistic lie in the rejection region? Interpret the Result? Does the result change for a different value of alpha? Explain?

- A study was performed concerning risk factors for carotid-artery stenosis (arterial narrowing) among 264 men. The data reported is: Sample size Mean Standard deviationGroup 1: No stenosis 156 5.3 1.4Group 2: Stenosis 108 5.1 0.8 The test stastistic F is assumed to be 3.06 to check the equal variance. Question: Suppose researchers want to test if there is a significant difference in mean blood-glucose level between men with and without stenosis considering the critical F test is 1.35 with a equal variance (pooled), what is the test statistic for this test ?arrow_forwardAn engineer designed a valve that will regulate water pressure on an automobile engine. The engineer designed the valve such that it would produce a mean pressure of 5.5 pounds/square inch. It is believed that the valve performs above the specifications. The valve was tested on 24 engines and the mean pressure was 5.7 pounds/square inch with a variance of 0.49. A level of significance of 0.01 will be used. Assume the population distribution is approximately normal. Make the decision to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis.arrow_forwardTwo different types of catalysts are used in a chemical process. We want to conduct a hypothesis test to see if there is a difference in the yields at 5% significance level. Assume both populations are normaly distributed. To this end, we collect a simple random sample from each process. Assume equal variances. = = n-11, n=13,x,-90, x 91.4, 8, 4, 8=4.5arrow_forward
- Gestation period is the length of pregnancy, or to be more precise, the interval between fertilization and birth. In Syrian hamsters, the average gestation period is 16 days. Suppose you have a sample of 31 Syrian hamsters who were exposed to high levels of the hormone progesterone when they were pups, and who have an average gestation length of 17.1 days and a sample variance of 26.0 days. You want to test the hypothesis that Syrian hamsters who were exposed to high levels of the hormone progesterone when they were pups have a different gestation length than all Syrian hamsters. Calculate the t statistic. To do this, you first need to calculate the estimated standard error. The estimated standard error is sMM= a. 31, b. 0.5232, c. 0.7328, d. 0.9158. The t statistic is- a. 1.50, b. 2.10, c. 2.63, d. 1.20 Now suppose you have a larger sample size n = 95. Calculate the estimated standard error and the t statistic for this sample with the same sample average and the same…arrow_forwardA study was conducted to measure the e ectiveness of hypnotism in reducing pain. Themeasurements are centimeters on a pain scale before and after hypnosis.Assume that the paired sample data are simple random samples and that the di erenceshave a distribution that is approximately normal. Use a 0:10 signi cance level to testthe claim that the the hypnotism is e ective in reducing pain.test statistic = ?1:868431982; p-value = 0:0519584292arrow_forwardA researcher decides to measure anxiety in group of bullies and a group of bystanders using a 23-item, 3 point anxiety scale. Assume scores on the anxiety scales are normally distributed and the variance among the group of bullies and bystanders are the same. A group of 30 bullies scores an average of 21.5 with a sample standard deviation of 10 on the anxiety scale. A group of 27 bystanders scored an average of 25.8 with a sample standard deviation of 8 on the anxiety scale. You do not have any presupposed assumptions whether bullies or bystanders will be more anxious so you formulate the null and alternative hypothesis based on that.arrow_forward
