Question
Two samples are selected from a population, and a treatment is administered to the samples. If both samples have the same mean and the same variance, you are more likely to find a significant treatment effect with a sample of n = 100 than with a sample of n = 4.

For any given house, you figure there is a 50%/50% chance of gaining 60% or losing 40%. This means your expected return per house is 0.5x0.60+0.5x(-0.40) = 0.10 = 10%. The variance per house is 0.5x(0.60-0.10)2 + 0.5x(-0.40-0.10)2 = 0.25. If the covariance between houses is 0.10, what is the variance of your portfolio of thousands of housesarrow_forwardSuppose that you want to perform a hypothesis test based on independent random samples to compare the means of two populations. You know that the two distributions of the variable under consideration have the same shape and may be normal. You take the two samples and find that the data for one of the samples contain outliers. Which procedure would you use? Explain your answer.arrow_forward
- An educational psychologist studies the effect of frequent testing on retention of class material. In one section of an introductory course, students are given quizzes each week. A second section of the same course receives only two tests during the semester. At the end of the semester, both sections receive the same final exam, and the scores are summarized below. Frequent Quizzes Two Exams n = 20 n = 20 M = 73 M = 68 A. If the first sample variance is s2 = 38 and the second sample has s2 = 42, do the data indicate that testing frequency has a significant effect on performance? Use a two- tailed test at the .05 level of significance. (Note: Because the two sample are the same size, the pooled variance is simply the average of the two sample variances.) tcritical…arrow_forwardOne sample has n=7 and SS=35 and a second sample has n =17 and SS =45.

- A plant pathologist wants to compare two strains of bacteria in terms of its reproduction rate. Test of normality showed that the two samples have heterogeneous variances.

D Anova F-testarrow_forwardA factor in determining the usefulness of an examination as a measure of demonstrated ability is the amount of spread that occurs in the grades. If the spread or variation of examination scores is very small, it usually means that the examination was either too hard or too easy. However, if the variance of scores is moderately large, then there is a definite difference in scores between "better," "average," and "poorer" students. A group of attorneys in a Midwest state has been given the task of making up this year's bar examination for the state. The examination has 500 total possible points, and from the history of past examinations, it is known that a standard deviation of around 60 points is desirable. Of course, too large or too small a standard deviation is not good. The attorneys want to test their examination to see how good it is. A preliminary version of the examination (with slight modifications to protect the integrity of the real examination) is given to a random sample of…arrow_forwardA factor in determining the usefulness of an examination as a measure of demonstrated ability is the amount of spread that occurs in the grades.
