*A researcher would like to find out whether a particular diet affects a person’s cholesterol reading. She records the cholesterol readings of 23 men who ate cow meat for dinner every night, 24 men who ate chicken and 19 men who ate pig; her data appears in the table to the right. She wants to know whether the differences in the average readings are significant; i.e., whether the average reading of all men who eat cow is different from the...

Suppose that someone gives you an unknown solution, and you wish to find out whether this solution contains glucose. To do this, you perform a Benedict’s test. Performing this test requires adding something called ____________________ solution to the solution of interest. Consider the solution you named in the previous question. After adding this to your solution of interest, what do you have to do next? If you perform a Benedict’s test on a solution that does contain glucose, then it...

You need to find out whether men and women are paid equally at your company. You collect two samples of equally qualified men and women. The sample of 75 women yielded a sample mean of $65,450 and a standard deviation of $3,270. The sample of 72 men yielded a sample mean of $69,210 and a standard deviation of $3,080. Research question: Is there evidence that men and women are not equally paid at your company? a. State the null and...

A research is interested in whether the mean score on a particular aptitude test for students who attend rural elementary schools is higher than the score of elementary school students in general (ux=50), ox=10). She tests a random sample of 28 rural elementary school students and finds the sample mean to be 56. Using alpha=.05, conduct the 8 steps hypothesis testing to determine whether the rural elementary school students have a significantly higher aptitude score than elementary students in general.

You try to find out whether a coin is fair or has two heads. The coin is tossed three times, after which you will be shown the outcome of all three coin tosses. If you decide to conclude that the coin is fair if it shows heads and tails at least once, and unfair if all three tosses are heads, what is the probability of committing a type I error and a type II error?

A clinical trial was conducted to test whether a drug for treating insomnia is effective. Researchers administered the drug and measured the time it took 23 randomly selected subjects to fall asleep. The subjects had a mean wake time of 96.6 min and a sample standard deviation of 24.5 min. Assume that the population of wake times is normally distributed. (a) Construct a 95% confidence interval. You may use your calculator. Round to 1 decimals. (b) Are the assumptions met?...

T-Test Problems (show your work) A researcher wishes to determine if a particular drug affects pilot reaction time to air traffic controller instructions. The researcher has 10 pilots. The pilots are observed in normal performance and their reaction times are recorded. Then the pilots are administered the drug, observed again, and their reaction times are recorded. The expectation is that the drug will reduce reaction time. Pilot Trial 1 Time (sec) Trail 2 Time (sec) A .83 .69 B .74...
