Use the following information to answer the next three exercises: A study is done to determine which of two soft drinks has more sugar. There are 13 cans of Beverage A in a sample and six cans of Beverage B. The mean amount of sugar in Beverage A is 36 grams with a standard deviation of 0.6 grams. The mean amount of sugar in Beverage B is 38 grams with a standard deviation of 0.8 grams. The researchers believe that Beverage B has more sugar than Beverage A, on average. Both populations have normal distributions.

What is the random variable?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The random variable is the difference in sugar content between Beverage A and Beverage B, which is the average sugar content of the two soft drinks.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

A study is being conducted to see which of two soft drinks contains the most sugar. A sample contains 13 cans of Beverage A and six cans of Beverage B. Beverage A contains 36 grammes of sugar on average, with a standard variation of 0.6 grammes. Beverage B has 38 grammes of sugar on average, with a standard variation of 0.8 grammes. Beverage B, on average, has more sugar than Beverage A, according to the experts. The distributions of both populations are normal.

02

What is the random variable.

The difference in sugar content between the two soft drinks, Beverage A and Beverage B, is the random variable.

93. A study is done to determine if students in the California state university system take longer to graduate, on average, than students enrolled in private universities. One hundred students from both the California state university system and private universities are surveyed. Suppose that from years of research, it is known that the population standard deviations are 1.5811 years and 1 year, respectively. The following data are collected. The California state university system students took on average 4.5 years with a standard deviation of 0.8. The private university students took on average 4.1 years with a standard deviation of 0.3.

The mean number of English courses taken in a two鈥搚ear time period by male and female college students is believed
to be about the same. An experiment is conducted and data are collected from 29 males and 16 females. The males took an
average of three English courses with a standard deviation of 0.8. The females took an average of four English courses with
a standard deviation of 1.0. Are the means statistically the same?

A group of friends debated whether more men use smartphones than women. They consulted a research study of smartphone use among adults. The results of the survey indicate that of the 973men randomly sampled, 379use smartphones. For women,404 of the 1,304 who were randomly sampled use smartphones. Test at the 5% level of significance.

Use the following information to answer next five exercises. A study was conducted to test the effectiveness of a juggling class. Before the class started, six subjects juggled as many balls as they could at once. After the class, the same six subjects juggled as many balls as they could. The differences in the number of balls are calculated. The differences have a normal distribution. Test at the 1% significance level.

What conclusion can you draw about the juggling class?

In a random sample of 100 forests in the United States, 56 were coniferous or contained conifers. In a random sample of 80 forests in Mexico, 40 were coniferous or contained conifers. Is the proportion of conifers in the United States statistically more than the proportion of conifers in Mexico?
