Software can generate samples from (almost) exactly Normal distributions. Here is a random sample of size 5 from the Normal distribution with mean 8 and standard deviation 2: 4.47 5.51 8.1 11.63 7.91 Although we know the true value of μ suppose we pretend that we do not and we test the hypotheses Ho : μ-5.6 a:μ 5.6 at the α 0.05 significance level. What is the power of the test against the alternative μ 8 (the actual population mean)?...

6. A two-tailed hypothesis test for a repeated-measures research design Previous studies have shown that playing video games can increase visual perception abilities on tasks presented in the gaming zone of the screen (within 5 degrees of the center). A graduate student is interested in whether playing video games increases peripheral visual perception abilities or decreases attention to peripheral regions because of focus on the gaming zone. For his study, he selects a random sample of 81 adults. The subjects...
In Problem 6 you found a confidence interval for the difference from previously gathered data. In this problem you want to set the sample size for the two groups before conducting the study This will often be the case for clinical data where you want to make sure that, if a particular difference in two groups of the amount or level of a substance exists, your test will come back saying that such a difference exists. In other words, you...
D Chapter 15 Problem Set Suppose you are planning a study that will est the following one-tailed hypotheses: To evaluate the power of your study, you consider a specific alternative hypothesis, μ-Ha, where μ.> μ。. The following sketch shows two overlapping sampling distributions of X-one when Ho is true (and H1 is false), the other when Hy is true (and Ho is false). The distribution on the left has a mean of yo and represents the sampling distribution of X...
From previous studies, it has been generally believed that Northern Hemisphere icebergs have a mean depth of 270 meters. An environmentalist has suggested that global warming has caused icebergs to have greater depth. A team of scientists visiting the Northern Hemisphere observed a random sample of 41 icebergs. The depth of the base of the iceberg below the surface was carefully measured for each. The sample mean and standard deviation were calculated to be 276 meters and 20 meters respectively....

6) It has been study. One een levels of treatment for the new drug will be used in the 2 study. One group will be administered the new phase of the drug once per day and a second group twice per day. You select two SRSs of 19 and 21 individuals who have been diagnosed as having high n diagnosed adrug twice per administered the new drug once per dayad cholest total cholesterol. Results are summarized in the table below....
1. Newborn weight. A study takes a SRS from a population of full-term infants. The standard deviation of birth weights in this population is 2 pounds. Calculate 95% confidence intervals for μ for samples in which: a) n = 81 and = 7.0 pounds b) n = 9 and = 7.0 pounds c) Which sample provides the most precise estimate of the mean birth weight? d) Interpret the CI you computed in part a). 2. P-value and confidence interval. A...
A student ran a between-subjects experiment comparing three treatments for depression: cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), client-centered therapy (CCT), and a no-treatment condition. Subjects were randomly assigned to the experimental condi- tion. After a sufficient duration on these treatments, the difference in subject’s depression scores pre/post study were measured using a valid depression assessment instrument. The data are summarized in the tables below. Conduct a Oneway ANOVA with α = 0.05 by first completing the values in the lower table, then using...
