7. For any hypothesis test: b) Write down the appropriate alternative hypotheses and give the formula for the each test statistic, if any, for the following null hypothesis testing population normally distributed population not normal population not normal population not normal population normal population normal population not normal () Ho: So n 80, s 29 (iii) Ho: μ-Ha n-15, σ-25 (iv) Ho: μ=Ha n= 15, s = 36 (v) Ho: μ>Ha n= 10, σ = 16 (vi) H0'μ Han-60, σ-81...
(1 point) (Give answers to at least two decimal places. For simplicity, use the standard normal distribution bacause the samples are both large.) In order to compare the means of two populations, independent random samples of 93 observations are selected from each population, with the following results: Sample 1 Sample 2 s1 = 170 s2 = 195 (a) Use a 98 % confidence interval to estimate the difference between the population means ( ) - Test the null hypothesis: Ho...
A pharmaceutical company.claims that its new drug reduces systolic blood pressure. The systolic blood pressure (in millimeters of mercury) for nine patients before taking the new drug and 2 hours after taking the drug are shown in the table below. Is there enough evidence to support the company's claim? Let d (blood pressure before taking new drug)-(blood pressure after taking new drug). Use a significance level of a 0.05 for the test. Assume that the systolic blood pressure levels are...
235 independent normal observations were collected from a population with known variance σ 2 = 15. Suppose that we want to perform a test of H0 : µ = 65 HA : µ > 65. Calculate the size of the test that rejects the null hypothesis when ¯x > 65.33. Calculate the power of the test from part (a) against the alternative that µ = 65.6.
2. Suppose that we have 9 independent observations from a normal distribution with standard deviation 10. We wish to test Ho : μ-150 vs. H A : μ 150 The best test with level a- 0.05 uses the test statistic T1 =1元-1501 and has a critical value of c 6.53. The test rejects the null hypothesis when T> c (a) Calculate the power of this test against the alternative μ-151. (b) Calculate the power of this test against the alternative...
Loretta, who turns 91this year, has heard that the mean systolic blood pressure among the elderly is 120 millimeters of mercury (mmHg), but she believes that the actual value is higher. She bases her belief on a recently reported study of 22 randomly selected, elderly adults. The sample mean systolic blood pressure of the adults in the study was 131mmHg, and the sample standard deviation was 22 mmHg. Assume that the population of systolic blood pressures of elderly adults is...

A pharmaceutical company claims that its new drug reduces systolic blood pressure. The systolic blood pressure (in millimeters of mercury) for nine patients before taking the new drug and 2 hours after taking the drug are shown in the table below. Is there enough evidence to support the company's claim? Let d = (blood pressure before taking new drug)-(blood pressure after taking new drug). Use a significance level of a = 0.05 for the test. Assume that the systolic blood...
When subjects were treated with a drug, their systolic blood pressure readings (in mm Hg) were measured before and after the drug was taken. Results are given in the table below. Assume that the paired sample data is a simple random sample and that the differences have a distribution that is approximately normal. Using a 0.05 significance level, is there sufficient evidence to support the claim that the drug is effective in lowering systolic blood pressure? Before: 188, 210, 157,...
What critical value t∗ from Table D should be used to construct a 95% confidence interval for μ (the population mean) when n = 15 (if applicable, please round your answer to at least 3 decimal places)? You are given only the following information for a hypothesis test of H0: μ=10versusHa: μ̸=10: x ̄ = 12.2 P-value = 0.08 Suppose, based on prior knowledge, the alternative Ha: μ < 10 was actually more appropriate. What is the P-value for the...
