What is our t-critical if we have a sample of 35 people and
want to use an alpha of .05, where our hypothesis specifies
direction?
What is our t-critical if our sample has 96 people, we want to
use an alpha of .01, and do not have hypotheses which include
direction?
Given a sample of 68 women, with an estimated standard error of
2.5 and a sample mean of 15, construct a confidence interval for a
one-tailed test with an alpha of .05.
Franklin conducts a survey as a part of his PSYC 406 research
project, trying to determine if having individuals watch romantic
comedies affects their mood. In his survey he uses a measure of
mood, which contains a 7 point scale ranging from 1 – 7. His sample
includes 45 people, with a SS = 1, 219 and a mean rating on the
survey of a 4.57. Using an alpha = .05, answer the following
questions.
Write out his null and alternative hypotheses.
What is his t-critical value(s)?
What is the estimated standard error?
Compute the t-statistic.
What is the effect size?
Make a decision regarding the null and provide a conclusion in
proper notation.
Zaxby’s wants to know if their advertising during the NCAA
tournament altered the sales of their wings and things plate that
was being shown in their commercials. They decide to use the
location on 74 as a test location. On an average day they sell 239
wings and things plates. Taking a sample of 17 days during the
tournament, they find that they sold 250 wings and things plates on
average, with a standard deviation of 16 plates. Using an alpha =
.05, answer the following questions.
What are their null and alternative hypotheses?
What is their t-critical value(s)?
What is the estimated standard error?
Compute the t-statistic.
What is the effect size?
Make a decision regarding the null and provide a conclusion in
proper notation.

We want to estimate the proportion of unemployed people in
Quebec. Taking a sample of 350 adults randomly selected from the
workforce, we find that 42 people are out of work. Build a 99%
confidence interval for the true proportion of unemployed in
Quebec.
When samples are dependent, regardless of the sample size we
have to use the t-student test statistic with d.f. = n - 1. Suppose
we want to compare the premium prices of Progressive Insurance and
State Farm Insurance. We want to find out which one is cheaper.
Let's suppose we ask 20 people to call Progressive and State Farm
to figure out their premiums for the same coverage. The same 20
people call Progressive and State Farm. So, their 20...
* For large samples one sample t-tests (n >120) use
critical t scores of ±1.96 (for 95% confidence level two tailed
test) or ±1.65 (for 95% confidence level one tailed test).
* For small samples (n<120) use critical t score obtained
from t-distribution table. You will need to calculate degrees of
freedom, which is simply the sample size minus 1 (df = n-1) and use
an alpha value of .05.
* For comparing means between two samples (regardless of
sample...

We want to study the zinc concentration from a river. We have a
sample of measurements taken in 25 different locations in a river
with sample mean x = 3 and population standard deviation σ = 0.3.
The population is normally distributed.

concentration in the river.
2. Is the following statement correct? “If we repeat the same
experiment multiple times and each time calculate the two confidence
intervals...

We want to estimate the proportion of people who have or are
carriers of hepatitis B in a certain country, using 90% confidence
and with a desired margin of error of 1.5%. What size sample should
be used if:
a. no prior estimate of the desired proportion is known. (6
pts.)
b. a pilot study suggests that the proportion is 6%
I assert that the critical value of t, for a One sample
t Test with a nondirectional alternative hypothesis and using a
particular α level, will increase as sample size increases. Am I
correct? Circle “YES” or “NO.” If NO, explain why not?
There is no doubt we all have some strategies or techniques we
use when we want to persuade others. There is something you
want...or something you want someone to do. Maybe you're trying to
change someone's opinion or the way they think. What is your
preferred technique or strategy? Why does it work for you? Will it
work in a formal persuasive speech? You already use persuasive
techniques...let's talk about them.
