Question 17 A researcher wishes to test the claim that the average age of lifeguards in Ocean City is 24 years. The researcher selects a sample of 29 guards and finds the mean age to be 24.6 years with a standard deviation of 1.85 years. The level of significance is 10%.

3. A health researcher in a hospital believes that the mean cholesterol level for certain male population aged-50 is 241. An investigator wishes to examine whether the cholesterol levels are significantly reduced by modifying diet. A random sample of 12 patients agrees to participate in the study and follow the modified diet for 3 months. After 3 months, their cholesterol levels are measured. The mean cholesterol level in the sample is 235 with a standard deviation of 12.5. Based on...

A researcher wishes to test the claim that for a particular manufacturer of cereal, the mean weight in its boxes of cereal is less than 18 ounces. A sample of 36 boxes yields a sample mean weight of 17.88 ounces. Assume that the population standard deviation is .28 ounces. Let a =.05. a. Conduct a 5-step test of hypotheses: i.

A researcher administers a treatment to a sample of participants selected from a population with µ = 62. If the sample mean after the treatment is M = 70, which value of standard error,σM will result in the rejection of null hypothesis (assume p < 0.05, 2-tails test)? A. σM = 4 B. σM = 8 C. σM = 10 D. σM = 6 Please explain each step in detail, thank you!

If a researcher believed that the average young adult (under age 30) carries less than $10 in cash with them, then the Null Hypothesis for the hypothesis test should be: a) The mean is less than $10 b) The mean is not equal to $10 c) The mean is equal $10 d) The mean is at most $10 For a hypothesis test, a sample is gathered. The sample mean and P-value are found. What is the meaning of the P-value?...

A sugar box manufacturing company is accurately making 100 g packets. Suppose a business researcher randomly selects 100 boxes, weighs each of them and computes its mean. Due to non-random selection or by chance, a researcher selects packets that have not been adequately filled and that is how he gets the mean weight of 98 g, which falls in the rejection region. The decision is to reject the null hypothesis even though the population mean is actually 100 g. Which kind of...

In hypothesis testing for a population mean, the term "significant difference" implies a: A) difference between the sample mean and the hypothesized population mean that leads to the rejection of the null hypothesis. B) difference between the test statistic and the critical region. C) difference between the one-sided test and the two-sided test. D) difference between the sample standard deviation and the population standard deviation.
