We measured weight gain in students in their freshmen year to see if the Freshmen 15 is real or not. My hypothesis for whether there will be a difference in weight gain between males and females was that it would be fairly the same. The data we got was: For females, the mean is 2.640, the standard deviation is 5.961, the maximum is 15.4 and the minimum is -8.8. For male, the mean is 2.544, the standard deviation is 10.808,...

Researchers plan to study the weight gain of cows during a 3-month period. They wish to test at alpha = 0.01 if the mean weight gain exceeds 15 kg. Further, it is important for the researchers to detect if the mean weight gain is as large as 27 kg. An earlier study indicated that the standard deviation of the weight gains was around 14 kg. Since weight gains are normally distributed a t-test is to be used. (a) If the...

You would like to study the weight of students at your university. Suppose the average for all university students is 159 with a SD of 27 lbs, and that you take a sample of 31 students from your university. a) What is the probability that the sample has a mean of 160 or more lbs? probability = b) What is the probability that the sample has a mean between 164 and 167 lbs? probability =

53% of people believe in love at first sight. Suppose we take a random sample of 550 people. What is the probability that: 1. Exactly 295 of them believe in love at first sight? 2. 300 or more of them believe in love at first sight? 3. Fewer than 250 of them believe in love at first sight?

A researcher wanted to study the effect of type of diet on weight gain in mice. The researcher was interested in 3 specific diets: standard mouse chow diet, “junk” food diet, and an organic diet.  A total of 54 mice were randomly assigned to receive one of the 3 types of diets (18 in each group). The outcome variable (response variable) was weight gain (in grams) over a 1 month period. The 3 data sets provided below are for the same...

Is it true that students tend to gain weight during their first year in college? Cornell Professor of Nutrition David Levitsky recruited students from two large sections of an introductory health course. Although they were volunteers, they appeared to match the rest of the freshman class in terms of demographic variables such as sex and ethnicity. The students were weighed during the first week of the semester, then again 12 weeks later at the end of the semester (weights are...
