Chapter 10: Q. 65 (page 599)

Use the following information to answer the next five exercises. A study was conducted to test the effectiveness of a software patch in reducing system failures over a six-month period. Results for randomly selected installations are shown in Table 10.21. The 鈥渂efore鈥� value is matched to an 鈥渁fter鈥� value, and the differences are calculated. The differences have a normal distribution. Test at the 1% significance level.

What is the p-value?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The required p-value is 0.00669.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The given table is

02

Find the value of p?

Test using TI-83+calculator applying the steps below:

Step 1: To run the Setup Editor command, press STAT followed by 5 and then ENTER.

Step 2: To open the Stat List editor, press STAT followed by 1.

Step 3: Go to the name in the third list and enter the list for before and after values. Then enter L2-L1then press ENTER after each value. The data is:

Step 4: Again press STAT and then the arrow (鈫�)to TESTS.

Step 5: Next press the arrow (鈫�)to 2 : T-Test then press enter.

Step 6: Use the arrow (鈫�)to DATA and again press enter.

Step 7: Finally press the arrow (?) and enter the inputs :

Step 8: Lastly press the arrow (?) to calculator and press enter key. The output is:

The p-value is 0.00669

A new windshield treatment claims to repel water more effectively. Ten windshields are tested by simulating rain without

the new treatment. The same windshields are then treated, and the experiment is run again. A hypothesis test is conducted.

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

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.

Is the population standard deviation known or unknown?

Calculate the test statistic and p-value.

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.

Sketch a graph of the situation. Mark the hypothesized difference and the sample difference. Shade the area corresponding to the p-value.

Use the following information to answer the next five exercises. The mean speeds of fastball pitches from two different baseball pitchers are to be compared. A sample of 14 fastball pitches is measured from each pitcher. The populations have normal distributions. Table 10.18 shows the result. Scouters believe that Rodriguez pitches a speedier fastball.
