According to the Carnegie unit system, the recommended number of hours students should study per unit is 2. Are statistics students' study hours more than the recommended number of hours per unit? The data show the results of a survey of 13 statistics students who were asked how many hours per unit they studied. Assume a normal distribution for the population. 3.1, 2.6, 2.9, 4.2, 3.9, 1.9, 0.6, 2.4, 0.8, 2.7, 4.3, 3.7, 2.1 What can be concluded at the α α = 0.05 level of significance? a.For this study, we should use Select an answer z-test for a population proportion t-test for a population mean b.The null and alternative hypotheses would be: H0: H0: ? p μ ? ≠ < = > H1: H1: ? μ p ? ≠ > < = c.The test statistic ? t z = (please show your answer to 3 decimal places.) d.The p-value = (Please show your answer to 4 decimal places.) e.The p-value is ? ≤ > α α f.Based on this, we should Select an answer fail to reject reject accept the null hypothesis. g.Thus, the final conclusion is that ... The data suggest the population mean is not significantly more than 2 at α α = 0.05, so there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the population mean study time per unit for statistics students is equal to 2. The data suggest that the population mean study time per unit for statistics students is not significantly more than 2 at α α = 0.05, so there is insufficient evidence to conclude that the population mean study time per unit for statistics students is more than 2. The data suggest the populaton mean is significantly more than 2 at α α = 0.05, so there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the population mean study time per unit for statistics students is more than 2. h.Interpret the p-value in the context of the study. There is a 2.53303373% chance that the population mean study time per unit for statistics students is greater than 2. There is a 2.53303373% chance of a Type I error. If the population mean study time per unit for statistics students is 2 and if you survey another 13 statistics students then there would be a 2.53303373% chance that the population mean study time per unit for statistics students would be greater than 2. If the population mean study time per unit for statistics students is 2 and if you survey another 13 statistics students then there would be a 2.53303373% chance that the sample mean for these 13 statistics students would be greater than 2.71. i.Interpret the level of significance in the context of the study. There is a 5% chance that the population mean study time per unit for statistics students is more than 2. There is a 5% chance that students just don't study at all so there is no point to this survey. If the population mean study time per unit for statistics students is 2 and if you survey another 13 statistics students, then there would be a 5% chance that we would end up falsely concuding that the population mean study time per unit for statistics students is more than 2.

T-test of 2 means (Similar to presentation in class; but in a different context)

              (Wednesday class)

              Researchers in Georgia take a sample of diameters from 30 old-growth pine trees growing on two separate and adjoining tracts of land, labeled north and south, to see if the trees are identical.   The data are shown in the Tables below and reproduced in the Excel answer workbook.

1. Using Excel’s t-test of two means, calculate the P-value of a two-tail taste to identify whether the mean tree diameter from the north tract and south tracts are identical or not at a 5% level of significance. (Round to four digits.) Make sure you state the null and alternative hypotheses, as well as a formal conclusion to your test. (The Excel answer workbook reminds you to do so!) Assume variances (and, therefore, standard deviations are not equal. (1 point)

Problem 1:

Work through Example 13 (which starts on p. 36 of the lab manual) and then do the following using the data from Problem #1 above. (a) Find the p-value for the hypothesis test in Problem #1(a) above. (b) Construct a normal probability plot of the residuals which includes the p-value for the normality test (similar to Figure 9, p. 41 of the lab manual). Enter the p-value into the answer box. (c) Find the p-value for the hypothesis test of equality of population variances (using Bartlett's test).

B. The proportion of customers who are completely satisfied in a recent satisfaction survey of 300 customers at XYC Inc. is found to be 0.26. Test the hypothesis that the population proportion of customers who are completely satisfied is greater than 0.22 using the critical value approach and a 0.05 level of significance. e Test the hypothesis that the population proportion of customers who are completely satisfied is less than 0.30 using the p-value approach and a 0.05 level of significance. b. Test the hypothesis that the population proportion of customers who are completely satisfied is different from 0.24 using the p-value approach and a 0.05 level of significance. C.

A researcher wants to determine if extra homework problems help 8^th
grade students learn algebra. One 8^th grade class has extra homework problems and another 8^th grade class does not.

The manufacturer claims that your new car gets 31 mpg on the highway. You suspect that the mpg is a different number for your car. The 40 trips on the highway that you took averaged 28.7 mpg and the standard deviation for these 40 trips was 5.8 mpg. What can be concluded at the α α = 0.01 level of significance? a.For this study, we should use Select an answer z-test for a population proportion t-test for a population mean b.The null and alternative hypotheses would be: H0: H0: ? μ p ? ≠ = > < H1: H1: ? μ p ? > < = ≠ c.The test statistic ? t z = (please show your answer to 3 decimal places.) d.The p-value = (Please show your answer to 4 decimal places.) e.The p-value is ? ≤ > α α f.Based on this, we should Select an answer reject fail to reject accept the null hypothesis. g.Thus, the final conclusion is that ... The data suggest that the sample mean is not significantly different from 31 at α α = 0.01, so there is statistically insignificant evidence to conclude that the sample mean mpg for your car on the highway is different from 28.7. The data suggest that the population mean is not significantly different from 31 at α α = 0.01, so there is statistically insignificant evidence to conclude that the population mean mpg for your car on the highway is different from 31. The data suggest that the populaton mean is significantly different from 31 at α α = 0.01, so there is statistically significant evidence to conclude that the population mean mpg for your car on the highway is different from 31. h.Interpret the p-value in the context of the study. There is a 1.64116434% chance of a Type I error. If the population mean mpg for your car on the highway is 31 and if you take another 40 trips on the highway then there would be a 1.64116434% chance that the population mean would either be less than 28.7 or greater than 33.3. There is a 1.64116434% chance that the population mean mpg for your car on the highway is not equal to 31. If the population mean mpg for your car on the highway is 31 and if you take another 40 trips on the highway, then there would be a 1.64116434% chance that the sample mean for these 40 highway trips would either be less than 28.7 or greater than 33.3. i.Interpret the level of significance in the context of the study. There is a 1% chance that you own an electric powered car, so none of this matters to you anyway. If the population population mean mpg for your car on the highway is different from 31 and if you take another 40 trips on the highway, then there would be a 1% chance that we would end up falsely concluding that the population mean mpg for your car on the highway is equal to 31. There is a 1% chance that the population mean mpg for your car on the highway is different from 31. If the population mean mpg for your car on the highway is 31 and if you take another 40 trips on the highway, then there would be a 1% chance that we would end up falsely concluding that the population mean mpg for your car on the highway is different from 31.
