Chapter 10: Q. 38 (page 598)

Use the following information to answer the next five exercises. A researcher is testing the effects of plant food on plant growth. Nine plants have been given the plant food. Another nine plants have not been given the plant food. The heights of the plants are recorded after eight weeks. The populations have normal distributions. The following table is the result. The researcher thinks the food makes the plants grow taller.

What is the p-value?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The p-value is p=0.0198

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

The table is

Plant Group
Sample Mean Height of Plants (inches)
Population Standard Deviation
Food
162.5
No food141.5
02

Determine the p- value

To find the p-value press STAT and 鈫�.

Twice to select TESTS.

Select the 2- sample T test and press ENTER as displayed,

03

Simplifying

Once all the sample entries are made press ENTER to obtain the results as,

Thus, the p value is 0.0198.

Use the following information to answer the next twelve exercises. In the recent Census, three percent of the U.S. population reported being of two or more races. However, the percent varies tremendously from state to state. Suppose that two random surveys are conducted. In the first random survey, out of 1,000 North Dakotans, only nine people reported being of two or more races. In the second random survey, out of 500 Nevadans, 17 people reported being of two or more races. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the population percents are the same for the two states or if the percent for Nevada is statistically higher than for North Dakota.

Does it appear that the proportion of Nevadans who are two or more races is higher than the proportion of NorthDakotans? Why or why not?

Use the following information to answer the next 15exercises: Indicate if the hypothesis test is for

a. independent group means, population standard deviations, and/or variances known

b. independent group means, population standard deviations, and/or variances unknown

c. matched or paired samples

d. single mean

e. two proportions

f. single proportion

The known standard deviation in salary for all mid-level professionals in the financial industry is \(11,000. Company A and CompanyB are in the financial industry. Suppose samples are taken of mid-level professionals from Company A and from Company B. The sample mean salary for mid-level professionals in Company A is\)80,000. The sample mean salary for mid-level professionals in Company B is $96,000. Company A and Company B management want to know if their midlevel professionals are paid differently, on average.

It is believed that 70%of males pass their drivers test in the first attempt, while 65%of females pass the test in the first attempt. Of interest is whether the proportions are in fact equal.

Indicate if the hypothesis test is for :

a. independent group means, population standard deviations, and/or variances known

b. independent group means, population standard deviations, and/or variances unknown

c. matched or paired samples

d. single mean

e. two proportions

f. single proportion

It is believed that the average grade on an English essay in a particular school system for females is higher than for males. A random sample of 31females had a mean score of 82 with a standard deviation of three, and a random sample of 25 males had a mean score of 76 with a standard deviation of four
