PLEASE HELP! Z-test or T-test? Give a full explanation please!
A researcher wants to compare the email use of the employees at one company to the corresponding population. Data is collected on the number of emails received by the company's employees. It will be necessary to use this sample data, as well as population data to determine if there is a significant difference between both.
Population
Mean number of emails: 25
Standard deviation: 3
Sample
Mean number of emails: 20
Total employees: 100
A researcher wants to compare the number of vehicles owned by families in one location to the larger population. Data is collected on the number of vehicles owned by each family. It will be necessary to use this sample data, as well as population data to determine if there is a significant difference between them.
Population
Mean number of vehicles: 4
Sample
Mean number of vehicles: 3
Standard deviation: 1
Sample size: 100
Create a report of approximately 1-2 pages in which you address the following:
Identify the test you selected for each situation.
Explain why it was the appropriate test.
Present the results of each test.
Explain whether or not a significant difference was found between the sample and the population.
(1)
Since the population standard deviation is known, we use z- test
Data:
n = 100
μ = 25
σ = 3
x-bar = 20
Hypotheses:
Ho: μ = 25
Ha: μ ≠ 25
Decision Rule:
α = 0.05
Lower Critical z- score = -1.959963985
Upper Critical z- score = 1.959963985
Reject Ho if |z| > 1.959963985
Test Statistic:
SE = s/√n = 3/√100 = 0.3
z = (x-bar - μ)/SE = (20 - 25)/0.3 = -16.66666667
p- value = 0
Decision (in terms of the hypotheses):
Since 16.66666667 > 1.959963985 we reject Ho and accept Ha
Conclusion (in terms of the problem):
There is sufficient evidence of a significant difference between the two means.

please tell me if its a z test ke t test and why it is :) thanks! CHECK ANSWERS! You should use a Z test because of the large sample size 30 < and we know the mean and the standard deviation. 6. The Graded Naming Test (GNT) requires respondents to name objects in a set of 30 black-and-white drawings. The test is often used to detect brain damage in the UK. The test begins with easy words like kangaroo,...
PLEASE help ?? A researcher conducted a single sample t-test on results of an experiment with n = 18 participants and the computed t = -2.28. What is the correct conclusion from this experiment if p < 0.05, 2-tails test is used for hypothesis testing? O A. The researcher failed to reject the null hypothesis and concluded that there is a significant treatment effect. O B. The researcher rejected the null hypothesis and concluded that there is a significant treatment...
A researcher decides to study if having a pet leads to lower levels of anxiety. She collects data from a sample of dog owners (n=30) and measures their anxiety levels, which range between 0 and 100. She finds a mean level of anxiety of 68 with a standard deviation of 5. This researcher knows that the mean anxiety level of the population is 60, and wants to compare it to this sample. Calculate the 95% confidence interval for this test...
1 A researcher wants to find out which type of classroom instruction significantly improves students’ test performance. He designed four types of instruction for four samples of students. Later all four samples were given the same test and their average performance was compared. What statistical test should be used by the researcher to analyze the results of this study? A. Pearson correlation B. t-test for independent groups C. one-factor Anova for between groups D. Chi2 for Independence 2 A researcher...
A medical researcher wants to compare the pulse rates of smokers and non-smokers. He believes that the pulse rate for smokers and non-smokers is different and wants to test this claim at the 0.05 level of significance. A sample of 68 smokers has a mean pulse rate of 87, and a sample of 64 non-smokers has a mean pulse rate of 83. The population standard deviation of the pulse rates is known to be 7 for smokers and 8 for...
A medical researcher wants to compare the pulse rates of smokers and non-smokers. He believes that the pulse rate for smokers and non-smokers is different and wants to test this claim at the 0.05 level of significance. A sample of 72 smokers has a mean pulse rate of 81, and a sample of 59 non-smokers has a mean pulse rate of 79. The population standard deviation of the pulse rates is known to be 99 for smokers and 88 for...
A medical researcher wants to compare the pulse rates of smokers and non-smokers. He believes that the pulse rate for smokers and non-smokers is different and wants to test this claim at the 0.01 level of significance. A sample of 74 smokers has a mean pulse rate of 87, and a sample of 76 non-smokers has a mean pulse rate of 84. The population standard deviation of the pulse rates is known to be 8 for smokers and 7 for...
How Different? For this discussion, you will compare a group of acquaintances to the population in regards to social media use. Consider the following: Analyzes of national data have suggested that the adult population uses social media an average of 3 hours per day, with a standard deviation of 1 hour. Develop a main response in which you address the following: Ask a group of friends (or other acquaintances) how many hours they spent on social media the previous day....
In a hypothesis testing problem a researcher wants to test the hypothesis Ho 20 versus Ha 20 A sample of size 100 yielded a sample mean x = 19.25 and a sample standard deviation s 2.5. The P-value for the above test is 0013 .5000 0026 0147 0294
A sociologist wants to know the average number of times US families eat their evening meal at home together each week. Data was collected from 50 random families. The sample mean is 3.8 meals per week with a sample standard deviation of 2.5. Construct a 95% confidence interval to estimate the population mean. Then, state this interval below within an interpretive sentence tied to the given context. Redo #19, only this time assume the value $2.5 is the population standard deviation. Then, state this interval...
