Suppose that we took 10 eager volunteers and we measured the time it takes a person to say the alphabet backwards. Then we gave each volunteer two alcoholic beverages over the course of 1 hour and asked them to do it again with the following results in seconds.
Volunteer 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Straight 38 52 38 29 42 68 45 50 30 48
Alcohol 42 58 42 31 44 62 52 55 42 46
Perform a hypothesis test showing all steps to determine if there is evidence that there is a difference in the mean time it takes for the two conditions? Are there any potential problems with the design used or the assumptions necessary to do this hypothesis test?

Suppose we have collected times, in minutes, that it takes
volunteers to complete a set of pencil and paper mazes. Volunteers
are randomly assigned to one of two groups. Group 1 watch a 5
minute video explaining good strategies for completing the mazes.
Group 2 watch a 5 minute video of other people successfully
completing the mazes, but with no explanation given.

You are currently working at NCLEX Memorial Hospital in the
Infectious Diseases Unit. Over the past few days, you have noticed
an increase in patients admitted with a particular infectious
disease. You believe that the ages of these patients play a
critical role in the method used to treat the patients. You decide
to speak to your manager, and together you work to use statistical
analysis to look more closely at the ages of these patients.
You do some research...

Professor Fair believes that extra time does not improve grades
on exams. He randomly divided a group of 300 students into two
groups and gave them all the same test. One group had exactly 1
hour in which to finish the test, and the other group could stay as
long as desired. The results are shown in the following table. Test
at the 0.01 level of significance that time to complete a test and
test results are independent.

We assume that our wages will increase as we gain experience and
become more valuable to our employers. Wages also increase because
of inflation. By examining a sample of employees at a given point
in time, we can look at part of the picture. How does length of
service (LOS) relate to wages? The data here (data238.dat) is the

Part 1: z-Procedures In this part, we will use z-procedures.
z-procedures are both confidence intervals and hypothesis tests
that use a Normal distribution. They are called z-procedures
because they rely on a z-test statistic and/or a z-critical value.
So far, we can use z-procedures for a population mean knowing the
population standard deviation. In Part 1, you will use the data
file TempSample00-18.
