we have two process and prefer one with the smaller variance. Take a sample of size 11 using the first process and another sample of size 16 using the second process. we have the sample standard deviation of s1 =6.1 and s2 =3. is there any evidence the second process is better. a=0.05

Suppose we repeatedly take samples of size 100 from the population distribution, calculate a sample mean each time, and plot those sample means in a histogram. The histogram we created would be an example of a (variable, population, distribution, sampling distribution???) . According to the central limit theorem, the histogram would have a shape that is approximately (left skewed, right skewed or normal???) , with mean  (give a number???) and standard deviation  (give a number??). The standard deviation of the statistic under...

1. In general, why should we use the standard deviation rather than the variance? A. The standard deviation is a smaller number. B. The standard deviation is the same as the mean. C. The standard deviation is a measure of central tendency. D. The standard deviation is more frequently used in psychology than the variance, primarily because the standard deviation is better expressed in the same units as the original data set. 2.

Two suppliers manufacture a plastic gear used in a laser printer. The impact strength of these gears measured in foot-pounds is an important characteristic. A random sample of 10 gears from supplier 1 results in x-bar1=289.30 and s1=22.5, and another random sample of 16 gears from the second supplier results in x-bar2=321.50 and s2=21. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the variance of impact strength is different for the two suppliers? Use a=0.05. Round numeric answer to 2 decimal...

2. Which test statistic is appropri For a random sample representing one normal population, we have n₁ = 11, and s₁²= 21.82. For another random sample representing a second normal population we have n₂ = 8 and s₂² = 15.36. For purpose of testing the equality of variance we have F = s₁²/ s₂² = 21.82/15.36 = 1.424. (a) If the critical value of F is 3.14, what can be concluded here? (b) What would be an appropriate null hypothesis?...
