Women athletes at the a certain university have a long-term graduation rate of 67%. Over the past several years, a random sample of 40 women athletes at the school showed that 22 eventually graduated. Does this indicate that the population proportion of women athletes who graduate from the university is now less than 67%? Use a 1% level of significance.
(a) State the null and alternate hypotheses. H0: p < 0.67; H1: p = 0.67 H0: p = 0.67; H1: p < 0.67 H0: p = 0.67; H1: p ≠ 0.67 H0: p = 0.67; H1: p > 0.67
(b) What sampling distribution will you use? The standard normal, since np < 5 and nq < 5. The standard normal, since np > 5 and nq > 5. The Student's t, since np > 5 and nq > 5. The Student's t, since np < 5 and nq < 5. What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
(c) Find the P-value of the test statistic. (Round your answer to four decimal places.) and Sketch the sampling distribution and show the area corresponding to the P-value.
(d) Based on your answers in parts (a) to (c), will you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis? Are the data statistically significant at level α? At the α = 0.01 level, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are statistically significant. At the α = 0.01 level, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are not statistically significant. At the α = 0.01 level, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are statistically significant. At the α = 0.01 level, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are not statistically significant.
(e) Interpret your conclusion in the context of the application. There is sufficient evidence at the 0.01 level to conclude that the true proportion of women athletes who graduate is less than 0.67. There is insufficient evidence at the 0.01 level to conclude that the true proportion of women athletes who graduate is less than 0.67.

Below is the data for a personality questionnaire measuring conscientiousness. These data were taken from a random sample of 25 undergraduate psychology majors. In the general population, scores on this questionnaire are normally distributed with a mean (μ) of 60. You hypothesize that this sample is not representative of the general population. Specifically, you hypothesize that psychology students form a distinct sub-population, with DIFFERENT conscientiousness, relative to the general population. That is, it would be equally interesting to find out they have higher or lower conscientiousness. Conduct a one-sample t-test by answering the following questions.
Data: N = 25, xbar (sample mean) = 65.12, Sx = 10.17
a. State the null and alternative hypotheses.
b. Are you going to be using a one- or two-tailed test? Explain the reason for your choice.
c. What are the degrees of freedom for this t-test? Find the corresponding critical t-value for Type I error rate (alpha) of α = 0.05?
d. Calculate your observed t-statistic.
e. Compare your observed t-statistic to the critical t-value(s). What do you conclude regarding the null hypothesis?
f. Calculate and interpret follow-up 95% Confidence interval
g. Calculate and interpret the standardized effect size (Cohen's d).
h. What do you conclude about your research question (use your own words, in everyday language)

It may be that sunshine has a unique effect on learning statistics. Previous research has been in disagreement, with some studies showing that sunshine increases amount learned whereas others show sunshine has detrimental effects on learning. You would like to determine for yourself whether or not sunshine makes a DIFFERENCE on statistics learning. Let's assume you take five statistics students and give them a lesson on a sunny day, and then take a completely different and unrelated five students and give them the same lesson on a rainy day. These are their results for a quiz on their lesson:
Sunny Day Students:
xbar1 = 7.4
Rainy Day Students:
xbar2 = 7.7
a. State the null and alternative hypotheses.
b. What are the degrees of freedom for this t-test? Find the corresponding critical t-value(s) for Type I error rate (alpha) of α = 0.05?
c. Calculate your observed t-statistic (hint: you will need to calculate the standard deviations of both groups first).
d. Compare your observed t-statistic to the critical t-value. What do you conclude regarding the null hypothesis?
e. Calculate and interpret the 95% Confidence interval.
f. Calculate and interpret the standardized effect size (Cohen's d).
g. What do you conclude about your research question (use your own words, in everyday language).

Practice 2) Estimation for the one-sample t Test
In chapter 9, we computed a one-sample t test examining the social functioning of relatives of individuals with OCD compared to the general healthy population.
In 18 participants, M = 62.00; SD = 20.94
Find the 95% CI for these data
Practice 3) Estimation for the two-independent-sample t test
In chapter 9, we tested the mean difference of calorie consumption between two independent groups given the same buffet: One group was instructed to eat fast, and another group was instructed to eat slowly. In a sample of 12 participants, we recorded M=600 in Grout Eating Slowly and M=650 in Group Eating Fast with an estimated standard error for the difference of SM1-M2 = 82.66. Here we will find the 95% confidence interval for these data.
Practice 4) Estimation for the Related-Sample t Test
In chapter 10, we tested if teacher supervision influences the time that elementary school children read. The difference in time spent reading in the presence versus absence of a teacher was MD=15 (n=8); the estimated standard error for the difference was SMD=5.35. Here we will find the 95% confidence interval for these data.

Machine C produces 25 % of the factory's output with a 4 % defective rate.
Machine D produces 3 0% of the factory's output with a 5 % defective rate.
Machine E produces 3 0% of the factory's output with a 6 % defective rate.

Determine the minimum sample size required when you want to be 90% confident that the sample mean is within one unit of the population mean and sigma=10.8. Assume the population is normally distributed.
You are given the sample mean and the population standard deviation. Use this information to construct the 90% and 95% confidence intervals for the population mean. Interpret the results and compare the widths of the confidence intervals.
From a random sample of 45 business days, the mean closing price of a certain stock was $116.70. Assume the population standard deviation is $11.02. The 90% confidence interval is
Construct the indicated confidence interval for the population mean using the t-distribution. Assume the population is normally distributed.

An educational psychologist studies the effect of frequent testing on retention of class material. In one section of an introductory course, students are given quizzes each week. A second section of the same course receives only two tests during the semester. At the end of the semester, both sections receive the same final exam, and the scores are summarized below.

a. If the first sample variance is s2 = 38 and the second sample has s2 = 42, do the data indicate that testing frequency has a significant effect on performance? Use a two-tailed test at the .05 level of significance. (Note: because the two sample are the same size, the pooled variance is simply the average of the two sample variances.)
b. If the first sample variance is s2 = 84 and the second sample has s2= 96, do the data indicate that testing frequency has a significant effect? Again, use a two-tailed test with x = .05.
c. Describe how the size of the variance effects the outcome of the hypothesis test.

QUESTION 11
A pharmacologist decided to test two common headache-tablets for their effectiveness: Tablet A 500mg and Tablet B 20 mg. The experiment was conducted as follows: A random patient that walked into the clinic and complained of a headache was given either tablet A, tablet B, or a placebo. After swallowing the tablet the patient was asked to stay in the clinic for an hour and afterwards to report whether the headache had disappeared, improved, or if the tablet had no effect (i.e. no improvement or even a worsening of the headache intensity). Use a 1% level of significance to test the claim that headache status is independent of headache relief tablet used.
