An accelerated life test on a large number of type-D alkaline batteries revealed that the mean life for a particular use before they failed is 19.0 hours. The distribution of the lives approximated a normal distribution. The standard deviation was 1.2 hours. About 95.44% of the batteries failed between what two values?

n = 100 with s^2 = 100
I other factors are held constant, which set of characteristics is most likely to produce a significant t statistic? n = 50 with s^2 = 50
If other factors are held constant, what is the effect of increasing the sample size?
It will decrease the estimated standard error and increase the likelihood of rejecting H0
A researcher conducts a one-sample hypothesis test using a sample of n = 40 from an unknown population. What is the df value for the t statistic?

With α= 0.05, what is the critical t value for a one-tailed test with n = 15? t = 1.761 With α= 0.05 and df = 20, the critical values for a two-tailed t test are t = +-2.086. Assuming all other factors are held constant, if the df value were decreased to df = 10, what would happen to the critical values for t?
They would increase (move farther from zero).
A sample of n = 4 scores is selected from a population with an unknown mean. The sample has a mean of M = 40 and a variance of s2= 16. Which of the following is the correct 90% confidence interval for μ? μ= 40 +-2.353(2)
When is it appropriate to use the two sample, pooled variance t-test? When
2 independent samples are compared.
Which of the following accurately describes an independent-measures study?
It uses a different group of participants for each of the treatment conditions being compared.
Which of the following is the correct null hypothesis for an independent-measures t test?
Mu1-Mu2 = 0 Accounting procedures allow a
From the above output, we can see that the p-value is 0.000186, which is smaller than 0.05 (if we select a 0.05 significance level).
The area under the curve to the left of the unknown quantity must be 0.7 (70%). So, we must first find the z value that cuts off an area of 0.7 in the left tail of standard normal distribution. Using the cumulative probability table, we see that z=0.53.
2. In order to determine the average amount spent in November on Amazon.com a random sample of 144 Amazon accounts were selected. The sample mean amount spent in November was $250 with a standard deviation of $25. Assuming that the population standard deviation is unknown, what is a 95% confidence interval for the population mean amount spent on Amazon.com in November?
(c) The mean of the sample and the value of Z with an area of 5% in the left tail.
The area under a normal curve with mu = 35 and sigma = 7 is 0, 1, or 2?
If the total sample size is over 15, two sample t tests are safe if there are no
An intelligence test for which the scores are normally distributed has a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15. Use this information to describe how the scores are distributed.
18. Suppose that the scores of architects on a particular creativity test are normally distributed. Using a normal curve table, what percentage of architects have Z scores:
3. In one elementary school, 200 students are tested on the subject of Math and English. The table below shows the mean and standard deviation for each subject.
2. For the following set of scores, fill in the cells. The mean is 74.13 and the standard deviation is 9.98.
H_a: μ 30 we will use a z-test for the mean to test the given hypothesis.
“Hypothesis testing is a decision-making process for evaluating claims about a population” (Bluman, 2013, p. 398). This process is used to determine if you will accept or reject the hypothesis. The claim is that the bottles contain less than 16 ounces. The null hypothesis is the soda bottles contain 16 ounces. The alternative hypothesis is the bottles contain less than 16 ounces. The significance level will be 0.05. The test method to be used is a t-score. The test statistic is calculated to be -11.24666539 and the P-value is 1.0. The P-value is the probability of observing a sample statistic as extreme as the test statistic, assuming the null hypothesis is true. The T Crit value is 1.69912702. The calculations show there is enough evidence to support the claim that the soda bottles do
At the .01 significance level is there a difference in the mean amount purchased on an impulse at the two stores? Explain these results to a person who knows about the t test for a single sample but is unfamiliar with the t test for independent means.
