Use the following scenario for questions 6 – 8. In 2016-17, the average SAT score of the UVA first year class was 1420 out of 1600. An advisor in the statistics department is interested in determining whether statistics majors from that class have higher SAT scores than the average. He tests H,:µ = 1420 against Hạ: µ > 1420, where u is the mean SAT score for statistics majors from the 2016-17 first year class. In a simple random sample of 30 statistics majors, he finds a sample mean SAT score of 1440 with sample standard deviation of 40.

6. What is the value of the test statistic for this significance test?

a. 0.09

b. 0.5

c. 2.73

d. 20

7. From what distribution is this test statistic?

a. N(0, 1)

b. N(1420, 7.30)

c. t distribution with 29 degrees of freedom

d. t distribution with 28 degrees of freedom

8.) The p-value for this test is 0.005. Which of the following is a proper interpretation of this p- value?

a.There is a 0.5% chance that the null hypothesis is true.

b. If the population mean SAT score really is 1420, there's a 0.5% chance that the sample a. mean SAT score from 30 statistics majors would equal 1440.

c.If the population mean SAT score really is 1420, there's a 0.5% chance that the sample mean SAT score from 30 statistics majors would be 1440 or lower.

d. If the population mean SAT score really is 1420, there's a 0.5% chance that the sample mean SAT score from 30 statistics majors would be 1440 or higher.

Vacation Hours Earned earned by Blue-Collar and Service Employees. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported that the mean annual number of hours of vacation time earned by blue-collar and service employees who work for small private establishments and have at least 10 years of service is 100. Assume that for this population the standard deviation for the annual number of hours earned is 48. Suppose the BLS would like to select a sample of 15,000 individuals from this population for a follow-up study.

a. Show the sampling distribution of the sample mean(  ) of 15, 000 individuals from this population.

b. What is the probability that a simple random sample of 15,000 individuals from this population will provide a sample mean that is within 1 hour of the population mean?

c. Suppose the mean annual number of hours of vacation time earned for a sample of 15,000 blue-collar and service employees who work for small private establishments have at least 10 years of service differs from the population mean ( ) by more than an hour. Considering your results in part b) how would you interpret this result?

Hypothesis testing with ANOVA opinions about whether caffeine enhances test performance differ. You design a study to test the impact of drinks with different caffeine contents on students' test-taking abilities. You choose 21 students at random from your introductory psychology course to participate in your study. You randomly assign each student to one of three drinks, each with a different caffeine concentration, such that there are seven students assigned to each drink. You then give each of them a plain capsule containing the precise quantity of caffeine that would be consumed in their designated drink and have them take an arithmetic test 15 minutes later.

The students receive the following arithmetic test scores:

  Cola Black Tea Coffee  
Caffeine Content (mg/oz) 2.9 5.9 13.4  
  85 85 92 ∑X2 = 147,641
  86 89 87 G = 1,755
  82 82 80 N = 21
  75 75 89 k = 3
  66 88 96  
  78 76 83  
  87 82 92  
  T1 = 559 T2 = 559 T3 = 559  
  SS1 = 338.86 SS2 = 338.86 SS3 = 338.86  
  n1 = 7 n2 = 7 n3 = 7  
  M1 = 79.8571 M2 = 79.8571 M3 = 79.8571  

1.) You plan to use an ANOVA to test the impact of drinks with different caffeine contents on students' test-taking abilities. What is the null hypothesis?

(a) The population mean test score for the cola population is different from the population mean test score for the black tea population.

(b) The population mean test scores for all three treatments are equal.

(c) The population mean test scores for all three treatments are different.

(d) The population mean test scores for all three treatments are not all equal.

 

2.) Calculate the degrees of freedom and the variances for the following ANOVA table:

Source SS df MS
Between - - -
Within 702.28 - -
Total 973.14 -  

 

The formula for the F-ratio is:

 

 

3.) Using words, the formula of the F-ratio can be written as:

 

 

4.) Using the data from the ANOVA table given, the F-ratio can be written as:

 

5.) Calculate for F-ratio:

 

 

6.) At the level of significance, what is your conclusion?

(a)You can reject the null hypothesis; you do not have enough evidence to say that caffeine affects test performance.

(b)You cannot reject the null hypothesis; caffeine does appear to affect test performance.

(c)You cannot reject the null hypothesis; you do not have enough evidence to say that caffeine affects test performance.

(d)You can reject the null hypothesis; caffeine does appear to affect test performance.
