We want to test if mean reaction time to a visual stimulus for people with diabetes is less than 400 milliseconds (the known mean for people free of this disease). To address this question, we measure reaction time for a sample of 36 people with diabetes.

Write the null and alternative hypotheses

Write the rejection region

A one-sample t-test was done using SAS; edited results are below. Using this information, give the decision of the test, and explain how you reached this decision.

(7) A new drug is developed to treat headache, and we want to compare its performance with an existing drug. The performance measure here is the time from taking the drug to people start to feel better. A random sample of volunteers were collected, in one occasion of headache, these people use one of the drug, and then in another occasion of headache (there is a long time between occasions), these volunteers use the other drug. Assuming all variables are...

To test the effect of alcohol in increasing the reaction time to respond to a given stimulus, the reaction times of seven people were measured. After consuming 89 mL of 40% alcohol, the reaction time for each of the seven people was measured again. Do the following data indicate that the mean reaction time after consuming alcohol was greater than the mean reaction time before consuming alcohol?

Dr. Thomas is studying the effects of alcohol on reaction time. He administered a reaction time test to 50 people who consumed 1 alcoholic beverage. His sample had a mean reaction time score of 150 milliseconds (msec) with a standard deviation of 25 msec. Use the following information to solve Problems 1-5. 1. What would the T score be for a subject that scored 119 msec? 2. What proportion of participants scored more than 163 msec? 3. What proportion of...

7. We want to estimate the mean amount of time people spend on Facebook each month.. How many randomly selected Facebook users must be surveyed if we want the sample mean to be in error by no more than 15 minutes, with a 95% confidence? A preliminary study suggests that the population standard deviation is 210 minutes.

Dr. Chase wants to investigate how cell phone use impacts reaction time. To test this, Dr. Chase conducted a study where participants are randomly assigned to one of two conditions while driving: no cell phone or cell phone. Participants were then instructed to complete a driving simulator course where reaction times (in milliseconds) were recorded by how quickly they hit the breaks in response to a dog crossing the middle of the road during the course. Below are the data....

Suppose that we want to estimate the mean germination time of strawberry seeds. The germination times for the sample of strawberries we choose has a mean of 20 days and a standard deviation of 1.5 days. For each of the following sampling scenarios, determine which test statistic is appropriate to use when making inference statements about the population mean. (In the table, Z refers to a variable having a standard normal distribution, and t refers to a variable having a...
