    Study Notes

    Traffic Patterns Comparison

    • A city planner compares traffic at two intersections across 12 randomly selected times.
    • Hypothesis test examines if the mean difference in car counts is zero.
    • Appropriate test: Matched pairs t-test (c).

    Carbohydrate Content in Peaches

    • Study compares carbohydrate content in two peach varieties for baby food.
    • Null hypothesis (H0): Means are equal (U1=U2); Alternative hypothesis (Ha): Means are not equal (U1≠U2) (c).

    Aspirin Headache Relief Comparison

    • Experiment assesses if Excellent Drug Company’s aspirin relieves headaches faster.
    • Participants split into two groups: Excellent's aspirin vs. Simple Drug company's aspirin.
    • Conclusion at α = 0.05 level: Insufficient evidence to confirm Excellent cures faster (e).

    Type II Error in Aspirin Study

    • A Type II error occurs if the company concludes no faster relief when Excellent actually does (b).

    Tobacco Virus Treatment Study

    • Investigation of a new treatment to mitigate the damage from the mosaic tobacco virus.
    • Random selection of 11 plants with split leaf treatment.
    • Appropriate procedure: Matched pairs t procedures (c).

    Confidence Interval for Egg Mass

    • Research on nest size's impact on egg mass; two random samples selected.
    • Represents confidence interval: (37.2-35.6) ± 2.009√(4.97²/60 + 6.24²/159) (a).

    Safe Use of t-Procedures

    • Safe to employ t-procedures when sample sizes are n1=6 and n2=6 and both are approximately normal (c).

    Bag Lunch Preferences in Students

    • Study on whether older students prefer bag lunches over cafeteria food.
    • Sample of sophomores and seniors reveals proportion data for hypothesis testing.
    • Standard deviation expression for difference in proportions is √(0.65)(0.35)/80 + √(0.75)(0.25)/104 (a).

    P-value for Bag Lunch Hypothesis Test

    • Test statistic for seniors vs. sophomores is -1.48.
    • Closest P-value calculation: 0.0694 (a).
