Chapter 10: Q. 44 (page 598)

Use the following informotion to answer the next five exercises. Two metal alloys are being considered as material for ball bearings. The mean melting point of the two alloys is to be compared. 15 pieces of each metal are being tested. Both populations have normal distributions. The following table is the result. It is believed that Alloy Zeta has a different melting point.

Draw the graph of the p-value.

Use the following information to answer the next 12 exercises: The U.S. Center for Disease Control reports that the mean life expectancy was 47.6years for whites born in 1900 and 33.0 years for nonwhites. Suppose that you randomly survey death records for people born in 1900 in a certain

county. Of the 124 whites, the mean life span was 45.3years with a standard deviation of 12.7years. Of the 82 nonwhites, the mean life span was 34.1years with a standard deviation of 15.6

years. Conduct a hypothesis test to see if the mean life spans in the county were the same for whites and nonwhites.

Explain why you chose the distribution you did for Exercise 10.24.

A new medicine is said to help improve sleep. Eight subjects are picked at random and given the medicine. The means

hours slept for each person were recorded before starting the medication and after.

a. independent group means, population standard deviations, and/or variances known

b. independent group means, population standard deviations, and/or variances unknown

c. matched or paired samples

d. single mean

e. two proportions

f. single proportion

A new WiFi range booster is being offered to consumers. A researcher tests the native range of 12 different routers under the same conditions. The ranges are recorded. Then the researcher uses the new WiFi range booster and records the new ranges. Does the new WiFi range booster do a better job?

Use the following information to answer the next five exercises. Two metal alloys are being considered as material for ball bearings. The mean melting point of the two alloys is to be compared. 15 pieces of each metal are being tested. Both populations have normal distributions. The following table is the result. It is believed that Alloy Zeta has a different melting point.

State the null and alternative hypotheses.

Use the following information to answer the next five exercises. A researcher is testing the effects of plant food on plant growth. Nine plants have been given the plant food. Another nine plants have not been given the plant food. The heights of the plants are recorded after eight weeks. The populations have normal distributions. The following table is the result. The researcher thinks the food makes the plants grow taller.

State the null and alternative hypotheses.
