A group of researchers looked at the long-term impact of divorce on first, second, third, and fourth year college students’ levels of optimism and trust. They compared students from divorced families and students from intact families. (n = 12) Let’s say the researchers found significant differences across grades overall and that students from intact families scored significantly higher than students from divorced families but only in the upper two years – what does that indicate about the results – in...

Last week, we looked at Bailey’s golf game and found the mean, median, and mode for these data. Now let’s look at the variability. Bailey has been playing golf on the weekends for the past three years. Recently, she started keeping track of her recorded scores. Her scores for June and July at her favorite 9-hole (par 36) golf course are provided below. 45 49 42 56 41 36 34 38 41 40 42 41 39 38 40 39 36...

Last year the average age of our clients was 30, and this year we believe it has decreased. We took a sample of 49 clients and found the average age of the sample was 25 and the standard deviation of the sample was 10. What is the value of u in this problem?

Last year, during an investigation of the time spent reading e-mails on a daily basis, researchers found that on Monday the average time was 50 minutes. Office workers claim that with the increased spam and junk mail, this time has now increased. To conduct a test, a sample of 25 employees is selected with the following results: sample mean = 48.95 minutes and sample standard deviation = 4.42 minutes. Calculate the appropriate test statistic to test the hypothesis that the...

1 point) Triathlon times. In triathlons, it is common for racers to be placed into age and gender groups. Friends Leo and Mary both completed the Hermosa Beach Triathlon, where Leo competed in the Men, Ages 30 - 34 group while Mary competed in the Women, Ages 25 - 29 group. Lec completed the race in 4656 seconds, while Mary completed the race in 5785 seconds. Obviously Leo finished faster, but they are curious about how they did within their...

Researchers are concerned about the impact of students working while they are enrolled in classes, and they’d like to know if students work too much and therefore are spending less time on their classes than they should be. First, the researchers need to find out, on average, how many hours per week students are working. They know from previous studies that the standard deviation of this variable is about 5 hours. A survey of 200 students provided the following 95%...
