Evolutionary theories often emphasize that humans have adapted to their physical environment. One such theory hypothesizes that people should spontaneously follow a 24-hour cycle of sleeping and wakin
The challenges that face education are very interesting indeed: unlike in manufacturing (where Six Sigma methodology was originally developed) the outcome is not a product that meets stated specificat
If the computed value of F is 5.01 and the critical value is 2.67, we would conclude that all the population means are equal. Unlike student’s t distribution, there is only one F distribution.
There are two major tests of readiness for college, the ACT and the SAT. ACT scores are reported on a scale from 1 to 36. The distribution of ACT scores for more than 1 million students in a recent hi
The sum of the squares error measures the variability in the measurements within the groups. Equal replication means that the same number of objects being observed are randomly selected from each popu
Apply the Law of Large Numbers: Explain how the following scenario is possible using a coin toss and fictitious data: As the number of trials increases
A test statistic is a value determined from sample information used to reject or not reject the null hypothesis.All hypothesis testing is based on accepting or rejecting the alternative hypothesis.
Make a decision by computing the test statistic and comparing it to the decision rule. What the decision rule means in terms of the question in the problem.
To set up a decision rule, the sampling distribution is divided into two regions – a region of non-rejection and a region where the null hypothesis is rejected.
Assume you have the following data Ho mu = 2,450, s = 400, n = 100, and xbar = 2,300. Conduct a hypothesis test at the .01 significance level.
At one university, students are given z-scores at the end of the semester rather than the traditional GPAs. The mean and standard deviation of all students’ cumulative GPAs, on which the z-score
In efforts to boost their identity, CherryBerry employs a famous spokesperson to advertise. A survey is then taken to assess the results of the ad campaign. The results show that 17 percent of the 100

Complete the exercise to determine if one store is better than the other in terms of mean family grocery price using a = .05. Clearly tell which is better if you decide this is appropriate.
Tax companies imply that the returns they prepare are perfect, but what proportion of returns from tax companies have mistakes? To answer this question
A baseball fan would like to estimate the mean time it takes to complete a major league baseball game. He randomly selects 40 game lengths (times to complete games) for major league baseball games and
Explain the difference between testing a single mean and testing the difference between two means. What two assumptions must be met when one is using z test to test differences between two means?
A particular candidate claims she has the support of at least 60% of the voters in her district. A random sample of 150 voters yields 87 who support her. The candidate wishes to test her claim at the
A random sample of 51 observations was selected from a normally distributed population. The sample mean was x = 88.6 , and the sample variance was s2 = 38.2.
A group of sheep, infested with tapeworms, are randomly divided into two groups as follows. Each sheep is assigned a number (1 through 20) and then 10 numbers are selected by drawing 10 slips of paper
In what ways is the t distribution similar to the standard normal distribution? In what ways is the t distribution different from the standard normal distribution? How does the formula for the t test
Effect of a new training program on time taken to complete a task, measured by a "before" and "after" test
In Meijer supermarket, the customer's waiting time to check out is approximately normally distributed with a standard deviation of 2.5 minutes.
The p-value approach was to be used. A sample of size 49 gave a sample mean of 508. Given that σ = 30.2, and α = 0.01, find the p-value, and write your conclusion.
