A statistician measures 101 randomly selected body temperatures and finds the mean body temperature to be 98.3 with a standard deviation of 0.61. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the mean body temperature is not 98.6 as is commonly believed.

The mean amount of time that a randomly selected mouse finds its way out of a maze is 18 seconds. A researcher thought that a loud noise would make the mouse to finish the maze faster (her theory). She conducted an experiment to test her theory by placing a mouse in the maze and measuring how long it takes to finish the maze with a loud noise as stimulus. She randomly sampled 25 mice and measured their times. The average...

Data containing n=130 observations of new born body temperatures produced a mean body temperature of 98.249° F. If we know that the standard deviation of body temperature varies by .733° determine if there is evidence to suggest that new born babies have a body temperature different then the adult average of 98.6° F. Use an alpha level of .01 1) State the hypothesis: Ho: Ha: (do not put spaces in these, use the symbols above to copy and paste as...

An ecologist randomly samples 19 plants of a specific species and measures their heights. He finds that this sample has a mean of 15 cm and a standard deviation of 4 cm. If we assume that the height measurements are normally distributed, find a 90% confidence interval for the mean height of all plants of this species. Then complete the table below.Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places. Round your answers to one decimal place. (If necessary,...
