Single Sample t-Test
Coach Brown is training his runners for an upcoming race, but he is concerned about their pace. He takes down sample times from his top 7 runners to compare it to his all-time standard race speed of 7.9 minutes per kilometer (μ). The sample times from his runners were 8.55 minutes per kilometer (M) with a standard deviation estimate of 0.78 (s).
Based on this data, complete the six steps of hypothesis testing given that our research question is: “Did the speed of the top 7 runners have a statistical difference compared to the Coach’s all-time standard race speed?”

please please help, i'll give you thumbs up :) Paired Samples t-test Gregg Popovich, head coach of the San Antonio Spurs, had his top five scorers practice during the past week with the shooting coach Chip Engelland. They shot 100 free throws prior to working with Chip and then shot 100 free throws after working with Chip. Below are the total number of free throws made before and after working with Chip Engelland. Popovich wants to know if practicing with...
Twelve runners are asked to run a 10-kilometer race on each of two consecutive weeks. In one of the races, the runners wear one brand of shoe and in the other a different brand. The brand of shoe they wear in which race is determined at random. All runners are timed and are asked to run their best in each race. The results (in minutes) are given below: Runner Brand 1 Brand 2 31.23 32.02 29.33 28.98 30.50 30.63 32.20...
this is a single sample t test problem this is math Assignment #11 Single Sample t-Test What factor determines whether you should use a z-test or a t-test statistic for a hypothesis test? 11.1 A sample is selected from a population mean of u 30. A treatment is administered to the individuals in the sample and, after treatment, the sample mean found to be M 11.2 = 31.3 with a sample variance of s2 9 If the sample consists of...
Billy wants to test whether the average speed of his favorite pitcher’s fastball differs from the league average of 92 miles per hour. He takes a sample of 36 of the pitcher’s fastballs and computes a sample mean of 94 miles per hour. Assume that the standard deviation of the population is 4 miles per hour.a. Specify the null and alternative hypotheses to test Billy’s claim.b. Calculate the value of the test statistic and the p-value.c. At the 5% significance level,...
1) To test the null hypothesis in the James Bond experiment (test his claim that he can taste the difference between a Martini that is shaken and one that is stirred) you have him taste 8 shaken martinis and 8 stirred martinis, presented in a random order. How would you interpret the results of the experiment if he was correct on 0 (zero) out of 16 times? 2) An experimenter expects an effect to come out in a certain direction....
Jim Mead is a veterinarian who visits a Vermont farm to examine prize bulls. In order to examine a bull, Jim first gives the animal a tranquilizer shot. The effect of the shot is supposed to last an average of 65 minutes, and it usually does. However, Jim sometimes gets chased out of the pasture by a bull that recovers too soon, and other times he becomes worried about prize bulls that take too long to recover. By reading journals,...
Probability and Statistics Test Time: 40 mins #1. The Swedish population of men's heights is approximately normally distributed with a mean of 69 inches and standard deviation of 3 inches. If a Swedish man is chosen at random: (a) What is the probability that he is under 5 feet (60 inches)? (b) What is the probability that he is between 5 feet (60 inches) and 6 feet (72 inches)? (c) What height is exceeded by 25% of the men? (d)...
The One Sample 2 Test ESP A husband and wife claim that they have a special bond that allows them to communicate by ESP. To test this claim, an researcher puts the husband and wife in separate rooms. The husband is randomly shown one of colors: either blue, red, green, yellow or orange. He then is given 5 seconds to use his ESP to communicate the color to his wife. The wife then has to decide which of the 5...
