  • Hypothesis testing is a set of core analysis tools used to answer questions about the characteristics of a population. The process involves a number of steps, varying from five to ten depending upon the author of the text being used. What are these steps and why is it so important to follow and explicitly state each step in the process? In your responses discuss the properties of hypotheses, the importance and meaning of the level of significance and the various kinds of tests we might choose from and why.
  • One and Two sample hypothesis tests (see week five for the two sample tests) are either comparing a sample to a standard value or comparing to samples to each other. Thanks to the CLT and the empirical rule we can usually trust the results. But there are exceptions. These are called Type I and Type II errors.

4. The following data set represent the percentage of gold from two different

locations:

Location A

23.6 22.4 18.9 29.8 22.7 25.4 17.5 14.2 29.4 26.1 24.1 22.3

Location B

5.0 6.1 2.3 2.1 7.8 9.2 4.1 2.5 4.2 9.9 1.0 1.2

b) Now consider the two locations as a single data set. What are the mean and the standard deviation of the gold percentage for this data set?

c) Using the empirical rule, determine what range of values captures the middle 68% of the data for the combined data set. Give the lower and upper limit of this range.

d) What is the actual percentage of data points that falls between these two values? Why is it different from your answer of part c?

In a certain article, laser therapy was discussed as a useful alternative to drugs in pain management of chronically ill patients. To measure pain threshold, a machine was used that delivered low-voltage direct current to different parts of the body (wrist, neck, and back). The machine measured current in milliamperes (mA). The pretreatment experimental group in the study had an average threshold of pain (pain was first detectable) at μ = 3.02 mA with standard deviation σ = 1.29 mA. Assume that the distribution of threshold pain, measured in milliamperes, is symmetrical and more or less mound-shaped. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)

(a) Use the empirical rule to estimate a range of milliamperes centered about the mean in which about 68% of the experimental group will have a threshold of pain from                       mA to                         mA

At Burnt Mesa Pueblo, archaeological studies have used the method of tree-ring dating in an effort to determine when prehistoric people lived in the pueblo. Wood from several excavations gave a mean of (year) 1249 with a standard deviation of 32 years. The distribution of dates was more or less mound-shaped and symmetric about the mean. Use the empirical rule to estimate the following.

(a) a range of years centered about the mean in which about 68% of the data (tree-ring dates) will be found between and A.D.

(b) a range of years centered about the mean in which about 95% of the data (tree-ring dates) will be found between and A.D.

(c) a range of years centered about the mean in which almost all the data (tree-ring dates) will be found between and A.D.

Suppose that you are interested in estimating the average number of miles per gallon of gasoline your car can get. You calculate the miles per gallon for each of the next twenty-five times you fill the tank. Suppose that in truth, the values for your car are bell-shaped, with a mean of 20 miles per gallon and a standard deviation of 1. Find the possible sample means you are likely to get based on your sample of twenty-five observations. Consider the intervals into which 68%, 95%, and almost all of the potential sample means will fall, using the Empirical Rule. (Round all answers to the nearest thousandth.)

About 68% of possible sample means will be in the range between ___ and ____ .

About 95% of possible sample means will be in the range between ____ and ____ .

About 99.7% of possible sample means will be in the range between ____ and ____.
