When the background music tempo was slow, the mean amount of bar purchases for a sample of 17 restaurant patrons was $30.52 with a standard deviation of $15.20. When the background music tempo was fast, the mean amount of bar purchases for a sample of 12 patrons in the same restaurant was $21.71 with a standard deviation of $9.10.   Assuming equal variances, at α = 0.10, is the true mean higher when the music is slow?

When the background music was slow, the mean amount of bar purchases for a sample of 17 restaurant patrons was $30.47 with a standard deviation of $15.10. When the background music was fast, the mean amount of bar purchases for a sample of 14 patrons in the same restaurant was $21.62 with a standard deviation of $9.50. (a) Assuming equal variances, at a significance level α=.01, is the mean amount of bar purchases higher when the music is slow? (b)...

An investigator wonders if slow-tempo music is more complex than fast-tempo music – since with slower music, the listener has more time to process the incoming musical information. To study this, he examines three samples of pop songs by the Beatles that differ in tempo: slow (group 1), moderate (group 2), and fast (group 3). 20 Beatles songs are sampled in each category (so, 60 songs total). As a measure of musical complexity, the investigator counts the number of different...

1)What is a sampling distribution for the sample mean, x-bar? Explain. Is x-bar a random variable? Why do you think so? 2) We learned standard error of the mean ( read sigma xbar in denotation) or standard deviation of sample mean. When the size(n) of the sample collected from a infinite population is greater than 1, why is the standard error of the mean  smaller than the standard deviation of X, population ? Explain conceptually or/and algebraically. Think of formula for...
