Data were collected on the annual mortality rate (deaths per 100,000) for males in 61 large towns in England and Wales. The data set also notes for each town whether it was south or north of Derby. The summary statistics are given below. Is there a significant difference in mortality rates in the two regions? Answer parts a and b. Assume a significance level of alphaequals0.05.

Find the P-value. The P-value is nothing. (Type an integer or decimal rounded to three decimal places as needed.) State the conclusion. Recall that alphaequals0.05. Choose the correct answer below. A. Reject Upper H 0. There is sufficient evidence that the mean mortality rate is different for the two towns. B. Fail to reject Upper H 0. There is sufficient evidence that the mean mortality rate is different for the two towns. C. Reject Upper H 0. There is not sufficient evidence that the mean mortality rate is different for the two towns. D. Fail to reject Upper H 0. There is not sufficient evidence that the mean mortality rate is different for the two towns. b) The boxplots of the two distributions show an outlier among the data north of Derby. What effect might that have had on the test? Choose the correct answer below. A. Since only one sample has an outlier, the results are still valid. B. The outlier does not affect any of the summary data, so the results are valid. C. The effect of the outlier will be small, so the results are still valid. D. The outlier means that the data may not be normal, so the results are not valid.

Preliminary data analyses indicate that the assumptions for using pooled t-procedures are satisfied. Independent random samples of 104 plots with cropland and 98 plots with grassland yielded the given summary statistics for the number of species of bird. At the 55% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that a difference exists in the mean number of species in the two regions? Cropland Grassland x overbar 1 equals 14.44 x overbar 2 equals 15.66 s 1 equals...
Researchers wanted to determine if the psychological profile of healthy children was different than for children suffering from recurrent abdominal pain? (RAP) or recurring headaches. A total of 210 children and adolescents were studied and their psychological profiles were graded according to a child behavior checklist. Children were stratified in two age? groups: 4 to 11 years and 12 to 18 years. The results of the study are summarized in the accompanying table. Complete parts ?(a) through? (f) below. n...

Suppose the mean height of women age 20 years or older in a certain country is 62.6 inches. One hundred randomly selected women in a certain city had a mean height of 61.5 inches. At the 11% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean height of women in the city differs from the national mean? Assume that the population standard deviation of the heights of women in the city is 3.63.6 inches. Set up...
