Researchers suspect that Variety A tomato plants have a different average yield than Variety B tomato plants. To find out, researchers randomly select10Variety A and10Variety B tomato plants. Then the researchers divide in half each of10small plots of land in different locations. For each plot, a coin toss determines which half of the plot gets a Variety A plant; a Variety B plant goes in the other half. After harvest, they compare the yield in pounds for the plants at each location. The10differences (Variety A 鈭 Variety B) in yield are recorded. A graph of the differences looks roughly symmetric and single-peaked with no outliers. The mean difference is x-A-B=0.343051526=0.200=20%x-A-B=0.34and the standard deviation of the differences is s A-B=0.833051526=0.200=20%=sA-B=0.83.Let A-B=3051526=0.200=20%渭A鈭払 = the true mean difference (Variety A 鈭 Variety B) in yield for tomato plants of these two varieties.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The true mean difference is0.342.262(0.8310)and the correct option is (e)

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

We are given the true difference and we have to find out which value will be satisfied from the given options.

02

Explanation

According to the question,

sample size is10, mean difference is0.34, standard deviation difference is0.83and confidence level is0.95.

To find the degree of freedom df=10-1=9and t2=2.262and put these values to find the margin of error, which is E=t/2sn=2.2620.8310

and as the boundaries of confidence isx-E.

Put all the values in the expression,

We get, 0.342.620.8310.

Hence, option (e) is correct.

According to sleep researchers, if you are between the ages of 12and 18years old, you need 9 hours of sleep to function well. A simple random sample of 28students was chosen from a large high school, and these students were asked how much sleep they got the previous night. The mean of the responses was 7.9hours with a standard deviation of 2.1hours.

Which of the following is the standardized test statistic for the hypothesis test ?

  1. localid="1654221307488" t=7.9-92.128andt=7.9-92.128
  2. t=9-7.92.128andt=9-7.92.128
  3. t=7.9-92.128and t=7.9-92.128
  4. localid="1654221494579" t=7.9-92.127andt=7.9-92.127
  5. localid="1654221497857" t=9-7.92.127andt=9-7.92.127

You can find some interesting polls online. Anyone can become part of the sample just by clicking on a response. One such poll asked, 鈥淒o you prefer watching first-run movies at a movie theater, or waiting until they are available to watch at home or on a digital device?鈥 In all, 8896people responded, with only 12%(1118people) saying they preferred theaters. You can conclude that

a. American adults strongly prefer watching movies at home or on their digital devices.

b. the high nonresponse rate prevents us from drawing a conclusion.

c. the sample is too small to draw any conclusion.

d. the poll uses voluntary response, so the results tell us little about all American adults.

e. American adults strongly prefer seeing movies at a movie theater.

Are TV commercials louder than their surrounding programs? To find out, researchers collected data on 50randomly selected commercials in a given week. With the television鈥檚 volume at a fixed setting, they measured the maximum loudness of each commercial and the maximum loudness in the first 30seconds of regular programming that followed. Assuming conditions for inference are met, the most appropriate method for answering the question of interest is

a. a two-sample t test for a difference in means.

b. a two-sample t interval for a difference in means.

c. a paired t test for a mean difference.

d. a paired t interval for a mean difference.

e. a two-sample z test for a difference in proportions.

I want red!A candy maker offers Child and Adult bags of jelly beans with

different color mixes. The company claims that the Child mix has 30%red jelly beans, while the Adult mix contains 15%red jelly beans. Assume that the candy maker鈥檚 claim is true. Suppose we take a random sample of 50jelly beans from the Child mix and a separate random sample of 100jelly beans from the Adult mix. Let p^Cand p^Abe the sample proportions of red jelly beans from the Child and

Adult mixes, respectively.

a. What is the shape of the sampling distribution of p^C-p^A? Why?

b. Find the mean of the sampling distribution.

c. Calculate and interpret the standard deviation of the sampling distribution.

Children make choices Many new products introduced into the market are

targeted toward children. The choice behavior of children with regard to new products is of particular interest to companies that design marketing strategies for these products. As part of one study, randomly selected children in different age groups were compared on their ability to sort new products into the correct product category (milk or juice). Here are some of the data:

Researchers want to know if a greater proportion of 6- to 7-year-olds can sort correctly than 4- to5-year-olds.

a. State appropriate hypotheses for performing a significance test. Be sure to define the parameters of interest.

b. Check if the conditions for performing the test are met.
