approximately what is the size 1 standard deviation with zinc?with placebo? 1-5. Consider the following data...
volunteers who had developed a cold within the previous 24 hours were randomized to take either zinc or placebo lozenges everu 2 to 3 hours until their cold symptoms were gone. Twenty five participants took zinc lozenges and 23 participants took placebo lozenges. The mean overall duration of symptoms for the zinc lozenge group was 4.5 days and the standard deviation of overall duration of symptoms was 1.6 days. For the placebo group, the mean overall duration of symptoms was...
For a random sample of 36 data pairs, the sample mean of the differences was 0.72. The sample standard deviation of the differences was 2. At the 5% level of significance, test the claim that the population mean of the differences is different from 0. (a) Is it appropriate to use a Student's t distribution for the sample test statistic? Explain. No, the sample size is not larger than 30. Yes, the sample size is larger than 30. No, the...
Consider the following sample data with mean and standard deviation of 177 and 7.3, respectively. (You may find it useful to reference the appropriate table: chi-square table or F table) class Frequency Less than 10 25 10 up to 20 20 up to 30 86 72 30 or more 20 n 203 a. Using the goodness-of-fit test for normality, specify the competing hypotheses in order to determine whether or not the data are normally distributed. OHo: The data are normally...
Consider a bell-shaped symmetric distribution with mean of 128 and standard deviation of 3. Approximately what percentage of data lie between 119 and 128? A)68% B)99.7% C)49.85% D)47.5% E)95%
So this is what I got as my Standard Deviation after plugging in the numbers: So I Subtracted the two Standard Deviations (85.36-83.83)=1.53, but that is not the answer apparently. What am I doing wrong? A supermarket chain wants to know if their "buy one, get one free" campaign increases customer traffic enough to justify the cost of the program. For each of 10 stores they select two days at random to run the test. For one of those days...
Problem 3. (1 point) Consider the following data set. Find the mean and standard deviation. Data set: 37, 78, 69, 38, 59, 26,51 Mean: Standard deviation: Note: You can earn partial credit on this problem.
1. Among various ethnic groups, the standard deviation of heights is known to be approximately three inches. Construct a 90% confidence interval for the mean height of male Russians based on the sample size forty where the sample mean was 68 includes and the sample standard deviation is 3.32 inches. SHOW CALCULATOR INPUT THANK YOU 2. Suppose that an accounting firm does a study to determine the time needed to complete one person's tax forms. It randomly surveys 50 people....
9. Calculate the standard deviation of the class count data. For full credit you must show all of your work. The standard deviation should be no more than two significant figures. (15 pts) SD = . Sxa-)3 1-1 Write the meant standard deviation: L(2pts) Write the range of the standard deviation about the mean (3pts) 10. How precise were the counts? Explain using the standard deviation calculated. How does sample size contribute to a smaller standard deviation? (Spts) 11. Use...
