For the following experiment, you will use the dataset BodyFat in the Sweeney Stats Group. Bodyfat was collected from a group of 252 CrossFit athletes. The average bodyfat for the American population is 23.4. Test the conclusion that the average bodyfat for Crossfit Athletes is less than the average bodyfat for the American population. Test using = .05. In addition to running the hypothesis test, answer the following question: Would you use this data to claim that CrossFit Athletes are in better shape than Americans? (Remember, lower body fat is better.)

Solutions

Expert Solution

Assumed data,because not given in the data
sample mean, x =22
standard deviation, s =6
Given that,
population mean(u)=23.4

number (n)=252
null, Ho: μ=23.4
alternate, H1: μ<23.4
level of significance, α = 0.05
from standard normal table,left tailed t α/2 =1.651
since our test is left-tailed
reject Ho, if to < -1.651
we use test statistic (t) = x-u/(s.d/sqrt(n))
to =22-23.4/(6/sqrt(252))
to =-3.7041
| to | =3.7041
critical value
the value of |t α| with n-1 = 251 d.f is 1.651
we got |to| =3.7041 & | t α | =1.651
make decision
hence value of | to | > | t α| and here we reject Ho
p-value :left tail - Ha : ( p < -3.7041 ) = 0.00013
hence value of p0.05 > 0.00013,here we reject Ho
ANSWERS
---------------
null, Ho: μ=23.4
alternate, H1: μ<23.4
test statistic: -3.7041
critical value: -1.651
decision: reject Ho
p-value: 0.00013
we have enough evidence to support the claim that the average bodyfat for Crossfit Athletes is less than the average bodyfat for the American population.

Activity 4: Experiment (YOU PRETEND TO DO THIS EXPERIMENT) The control group in an experiment is the group who does not receive any treatment and is used as a benchmark against which other test results are measured. A control group is used in an experiment as a point of comparison, so that it can be isolated in testing that the experiment did, or did not, have the intended effect. For example, scientists have developed many tests using reagents (substances used...

Open the Corn Yield dataset. There you see data recorded from an experiment to test 4 organic pesticide methods (wasps, nematodes, pepper spray, and bacteria) to see if they eradicate corn weevils better than a standard chemical pesticide (control). For each method, effectiveness is determined by the average weight in grams of corn that is yielded from a randomly selected ear of corn. Use Minitab to do an Anderson-Darling test on the Yields to determine if the normality assumption for...
