Use the following description to answer the next three (3) questions. Engineers are interested in testing...
(1 point) (Give answers to at least two decimal places. For simplicity, use the standard normal distribution bacause the samples are both large.) In order to compare the means of two populations, independent random samples of 246 observations are selected from each population, with the following results: Sample 1 Sample 2 (a) Use a 96 % confidence interval to estimate the difference between the population means (M1-M2). (b) Test the null hypothesis: Ho : (41-42-0 versus the alternative hypothesis: 11...
You may need to use the appropriate technology to answer this question. Consider the following hypothesis test. The following results are from independent samples taken from two populations assuming the variances are unequal Sample 1 Sample 2 n1-352 x1-13.6x2-10.1 s, 5.5 s = 8.1 n2-40 (a) What is the value of the test statistic? (Use X1-x2. Round your answer to three decimal places.) (b) What is the degrees of freedom for the t distribution? (Round your answer down to the...
31. (4 points (bonus)) Use the following information to answer the question. A research company developed a drug to help lung cancer patients live longer. Without treat- ment, the average life expectancy for lung cancer patients is 3.2 months. The research company claim that their drug help cancer patients live longer. Suppose he does a hypothesis test with a significance level of 0.05. Symbolically, the null and alternative hypothesis are as follows: Ho: μ =3.2 and Ha: μ > 3.2....
