A video game developer is testing a new game on three different groups. Each group represents a different target market for the game. The developer collects scores from a random sample from each group. The results are shown in the Table.
What is statistic?
64. Three students, Linda, Tuan, and Javier, are given five laboratory rats each for a nutritional experiment. Each rat's weight is recorded in grams. Linda feeds her rats Formula A, Tuan feeds his rats Formula B, and Javier feeds his rats Formula C. At the end of a specified time period, each rat is weighed again, and the net gain in grams is recorded. Using a significance level of , test the hypothesis that the three formulas produce the same mean weight gain
| Linda's rats | Tuan's rats | Javier's rats |
| 43.5 | 47.0 | 51.2 |
| 39.4 | 40.5 | 40.9 |
| 41.3 | 38.9 | 37.9 |
| 46.0 | 46.3 | 45.0 |
| 38.2 | 44.2 | 48.6 |
Suppose a group is interested in determining whether teenagers obtain their driver's licenses at approximately the same average age across the country. Suppose that the following data are randomly collected from five teenagers in each region of the country. The numbers represent the age at which teenagers obtained their driver's licenses.
a) Decision: _____
b) Conclusion: _____
Two students are interested in whether or not there is variation in their test scores for math class. There are total math tests they have taken so far. The first student’s grades have a standard deviation of .The
second students' grades have a standard deviation of . The second student thinks his scores are more consistent.
What is the F Statistic?
The data shown is the recorded body temperatures of subjects as estimated from available histograms. Traditionally we are taught that the normal human body temperature is F. This is not quite correct for everyone. Are the mean temperatures among the four groups different? Calculate confidence intervals for the mean body temperature in each group and comment about the confidence intervals.
