a.) The sample mean for a data set is 7.691, where n = 72 and s = 2.004. The data is approximately normal and σ is unknown. Should we use a t distribution, a normal distribution, or neither to test the null hypothesis?

b.) Given two independent samples that have been randomly selected.
Control Group: sample mean = 52, n = 67, s = 10.
Treatment Group: sample mean = 56, n = 56, s = 5.
We wish to test the claim that the two samples come from populations with the same mean. What is the magnitude (absolute value) of the test statistic?

Claim u = 977. Sample data: n = 25 and xbar = 984, s = 25. The sample data appear to come from a normally distributed population with o = 28. Does the hypothesis test involve sampling distribution of means that is normal, student t or neither?

Suppose that we want to test the null hypothesis that the mean of population 1 is equal to the mean of population 2. We select a random sample from population 1 and a random sample from population 2, and these two samples are independent. Circle the FALSE statement. A. We need to perform a two-sided test. B. If we know the variance of each population, even if they are different, we can use the Z test. That is, the test...

(1) Let µ be the mileage of a certain brand of tire. A sample of n = 22 tires is taken at random, resulting in the sample mean x = 29, 132 and sample variance s2= 2, 236. Assuming that the distribution is normal, find a 99 percent confidence interval for µ. (2)We need to estimate the average of a normal population and from measurements on similar populations we estimate that the sample mean is s2 = 9. Find the...
