These two charts contain information related to the size of the numerator and the size of the denominator in the formula for the statistical test that compares the means of the two groups in each experiment. Compare the information in the chart for Experiment 1 and Experiment 2. How do the similarities and differences between them explain why the results in Experiment 1 differ from the results in Experiment 2?

The mean and standard deviation of Experiment 2 is greater than Experiment 1 although their difference is the same. This variation caused the p-value to be greater for Experiment 2.

Use the following information to complete steps (a) through (d) below. A random sample of size n = 31 results in a sample mean of 123.3 and a sample standard deviation of 8.5. An independent sample of size n2 = 50 results in a sample mean of 129.8 and sample standard deviation of 7.3. Does this constitute sufficient evidence to conclude that the population means differ at the x = 0.005 level of significance? (a) What type of test should...
Use the following information to complete steps (a) through (d) below. A random sample of size n 1 equals 31 results in a sample mean of 124.3 and a sample standard deviation of 8.5. An independent sample of size n 2 equals 50 results in a sample mean of 131.8 and sample standard deviation of 7.3. Does this constitute sufficient evidence to conclude that the population means differ at the alpha equals 0.005 level of significance? (c) Use technology(TI-84) to...
1. What is the critical F value when the sample size for the numerator is five and the sample size for the denominator is eight? Use a two-tailed test and the 0.02 significance level. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) 2. Arbitron Media Research Inc. conducted a study of the iPod listening habits of men and women. One facet of the study involved the mean listening time. It was discovered that the mean listening time for a sample of...
A random sample of size n= 15 obtained from a population that is normally distributed results in a sample mean of 45.8 and sample standard deviation 12.2. An independent sample of size n = 20 obtained from a population that is normally distributed results in a sample mean of 51.9 and sample standard deviation 14.6. Does this constitute sufficient evidence to conclude that the population means differ at the a = 0.05 level of significance? Click here to view the...

Consider random samples of size 265 drawn from population A with proportion 0.13 and random samples of size 285 drawn from population B with proportion 0.31. (a) Find the standard error of the distribution of differences in sample proportions, p A D B. Round your answer for the standard error to three decimal places. standard error Consider random samples of size 86 drawn from population A with proportion 0.44 and random samples of size 66 drawn from population B with...
Independent random samples taken at two companies provided the following information regarding annual salaries of the employees. Company A Company B Sample Size 72 50 Sample Mean (in $1,000) 48 43 Population Standard Deviation (in $1,000) 12 10 a. We want to determine whether or not there is a significant difference between the average salaries of the employees at the two companies. Compute the test statistic. b. Compute the p-value; and at 95% confidence, test the hypotheses.

The consumption of caffeine to benefit alertness is a common activity practiced by 90% of adults in North America. Often caffeine is used in order to replace the need for sleep. One recent study! compares students' ability to recall memorized information after either the consumption of caffeine or a brief sleep. A random sample of 35 adults (between the ages of 18-39) were randomly divided into three groups and verbally given a list of 24 words to memorize. During a...
