The effectiveness of a blood-pressure drug is being investigated. How might an experimenter demonstrate that, on average, the reduction in systolic blood pressure is 20 or more?
Our goal is to see whether the global temperatures has been getting higher. For the phrase above, assume the data has already been presented and state a hypothesis. Describe the process one should take to test the hypothesis in detail. How should someone plan to test a hypothesis? Under what circumstances can somebody conclude that the global temperatures has been getting higher?
How heavy a load (pounds) is needed to pull apart pieces of Douglas fir 4 inches long and 1.5 inches square? Students doing a laboratory exercise sample 20 pieces of wood and find an average load capacity of 30,841 pounds. We are willing to regard the wood pieces prepared for the lab session as an SRS of all similar pieces of Douglas fir. Engineers also commonly assume the characteristics of materials vary normally. Suppose that the strength of pieces of wood like these follow a normal distribution with a population standard deviation of 3,000 pounds (As you can see all three necessary assumptions are met). a. Assuming that all evergreen wood has a known "load" capacity average of 30,000 pounds. Make a two-sided hypothesis (null and alternative statement) about Douglas Fir "load" capacity compared to the overall average. b. Apply the formula for finding our test statistic (show your work or describe the process) Specifically, use the formula for the z-statistic (pasted below and on…
A researcher wonders whether younger mothers have babies that are significantly heavier or lighter than the population average of μ 7.25 pounds. The researcher collects data from N = 35 babies who were born to mothers between the ages of 16 and 18. The average weight for these babies was M = 7.15 pounds (SD = .6 pounds).

A recent study examined the drinking behaviors of undergraduate college students (male and female freshmen).

Phosphorous is a chemical that is found in many household cleaning products. Unfortunately, phosphorous also finds its way into surface water, where it can harm fish, plants, and other wildlife. Two methods of phosphorous reduction are being studied. At a random sample of 7 locations, both methods were used and the total phosphorous reduction (mg/L) was recorded. Note: For degrees of freedom d.f. not in the Student's t table, use the closest d.f. that is smaller. In some situations, this choice of d.f. may increase the P-value a small amount and thereby produce a slightly more "conservative" answer.

Arsenic is a chemical element that occurs in many minerals, usually in conjunction with sulfur and metals, and also as a pure elemental crystal. The main use of metallic arsenic is for strengthening alloys of copper and lead. Unfortunately, arsenic occurs in some ground water. In large quantities it is toxic for multicellular life. A mean arsenic level of 8 particles per billion (ppb) is considered safe for agricultural use. A well in Texas is used to water cotton crops. This well is tested regularly for arsenic. A random sample 37 tests gave a sample mean of 7.2 ppb arsenic with standard deviation of 1.9 ppb. Assume that arsenic levels are normally distributed. We are to use the sample data and test if mean arsenic level in the well in question is less than 8 ppb. a. Test statistic isb. The ? − value of the test isc. At the significance level calculated in part c), we conclude that mean arsenic level in thewell is
