Researchers claim that getting a good nights sleep has an effect on test scores. A sample of 12 student’s grades were recorded for two exams, one for which they got a a full eight hours of sleep and one for which they only got 4 hours of sleep. Using a 0.05 level of significance, test the claim that the sleep has an effect on exam scores. (a) State the claim, null hypothesis, and alternative hypothesis. Claim: H0: H1: (b) Given...

Christine is the dean of students at a college. She is concerned about the amount of sleep students are getting. In particular, Christine is making an inquiry on whether students who are enrolled in the pre-med program are getting less sleep on average compared to students who are enrolled in other programs. The average amount of sleep per night for a random sample of 10 pre-med students and 10 students in other programs is recorded. Assume that the population standard...

Note: for all problems, assume a.05 1. A common assumption is that sleep deprivation influences aggression. To test this assumption, volunteer subjects are randomly assigned by a researcher to sleep-deprivation periods of 0, 24, 48, and 72 hours and subsequently tested for aggressive behavior in a controlled social situation. Aggressive scores signify the total number of different aggressive behaviors, such as "put downs," arguments, or verbal interruptions, as demonstrated by subjects during the test period. You are given the following...

A sample of 10 mothers wants to know if they sleep less than the population in terms of the number of hours they sleep. Their average number of hours they sleep is 6.8. We know that the average hours of sleep in the population is 8 with a standard deviation of 3. Conduct a z test to see if the sample of mothers differs from the population. (Be sure to complete all four steps of a hypothesis test.) α=.05 Ackerman...

A schoolteacher is concerned that her students watch more TV than the average American child. She reads that according to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the average American child watches 4 hours of TV per day (μ = 4.0 hours). She records the number of hours of TV each of her six students watch per day. The times (in hours) are 3.8, 4.6, 2.9, 5.5, 4.4, and 2.8. (a) Test the hypothesis that her students watch more TV than...

5. We want to test whether the mean amount that college students sleep exceeds the recommended minimum of 7 hours per night. A researcher surveys 1550 college students and finds the mean to be 6.83 hours with a standard deviation of .23 hours. Describe specifically what question was asked to each participant in the study? What specifically was the data collected from that question? Is this data qualitative or quantitative? What command would you do in StatCrunch? Z-stat, T-stat, Proportion...
