Question 190465: Nonstandard dice can produce interesting distributions of outcomes. You have two balanced,
six-sided dice. One is a standard dice, with faces having 1,2,3,4,5 and 6 spots. The other die
has three faces with 0 spots and three faces with 6 spots. Find the probability distribution
for the total number of spots Y on the up-faces when you roll these two dice.

Question 190466: A study of iron deficiency among infants compared samples of infants following different
feeding regimens. One group contained breast-fed infants, while the children in other group
were fed a standard baby formula without any iron supplements. Here are summary results
on blood hemoglobin levels at 12 months of age.
Group n Mean s
Breast-fed 23 13.3 1.7
Formula 19 12.4 1.8
a. Is there significant evidence that the mean hemoglobin level is higher among breastfed
babies? State null hypothesis and alternate hypothesis and conduct a t-test.
b. Give a 95% confidence interval for the mean difference in hemoglobin level between
the two populations of infants.

Question 190974: CAN you HELP ASAP
thank you sooooooooo very much
Now suppose that Jacob is a basketball player who averages scoring 1.65 points whenever he has a one-and-one free throw situation. Let's use that information to calculate what his free-throw shooting percentage is. Let's use the symbols p and E to represent what we're talking about:
p = success probability whenever Jacob shoots a free throw
E = expected value for number of points scored in a one-and-one situation
In Takeisha's case, we knew that p = 0.74, and we used that information to solve for E. In Jacob's case we know that E = 1.65, and we want to solve for p. To do this, use exactly the same procedure that you did with Takeisha, except instead of working with the number 0.74, simply use the symbol p. This should lead you to an equation involving p and E. Since you know the value of E in Jacob's case, plug in that value and solve for p. (It's a quadratic equation, so you'll need to use the quadratic formula.)

Question 191043: I started most of the work but I am not sure if I am doing it right. Please help.
Hypothesis Testing for Mean (Small Samples)
3. Metro Bank claims that the mean wait time for a teller during peak hours is less than 4 minutes. A random sample of 20 wait times has a mean of 2.6 minutes with a sample standard deviation of 2.1 minutes.
a. Use the critical value z0 method from the normal distribution to test for the population mean . Test the company’s claim at the level of significance = 0.05.
xbar = 2.6
µ = 4
s = 2.1
n = 20
d.f = n – 1 = 20 – 1 = 19
To find the critical value, use table 5 in Appendix B with d.f. = 19 and 0.05 in the “One Tail, ” column. Because the test is a left-tailed test, the critical value is negative. So
t0 = -1.729
1. H0 : u >= 4 minutes
Ha : u < 4 minutes
2. level of significance = 0.05
3. Test statistics: t = xbar - µ / s/√n (2.6-4)/[2.1/sqrt(20)] = -2.9814
4. P-value or critical z0 or t0.
5. Rejection Region: t < -1.729
6. Decision: Since -2.9814 is in the reject interval, Reject Ho.
7. Interpretation: The mean time is not <= 4 minutes
b. Use the critical value z0 method from the normal distribution to test for the population mean. Test the company’s claim at the level of significance = 0.01.
xbar = 2.6
µ = 4
s = 2.1
n = 20
d.f = n – 1 = 20 – 1 = 19
To find the critical value, use table 5 in Appendix B with d.f. = 19 and 0.01 in the “One Tail, level of significance ” column. Because the test is a left-tailed test, the critical value is negative. So
t0 = 2.539
1. H0 : u >= 4 minutes
2. Ha : u < 4 minutes

Question 191017: Not sure on how to complete the following. I think I did the first one right.
Introduction to Hypothesis Testing
State the claim mathematically. Then write the null and alternative hypothesis. Determine whether the hypothesis test is left-tailed, right-tailed, or two-tailed.
a. In a recent poll, it was found that 43% of registered U.S. voters would vote for the incumbent president. If 100 registered voters were sampled randomly, it was found that 35% would vote of the incumbent. Test the claim that the actual proportion is 43%.
Answer: claim: The claim “that 43% of registered U.S voters would vote for the incumbent president”
H0: p = 43
Ha: p not equal to 43
Test: Because Ha contains the not eual to 43, the testis a two-tailed hypothesis test.
b. Convicted murderers receive a sentence of an average of 18.7 years in prison. A criminologist wants to perform a hypothesis test to determine whether the mean sentence by one particular judge differs from 18.7 years.

Question 191029: Did I do this right?
Hypothesis Testing for the Mean (Large Samples)
Convicted murderers receive a sentence of an average of 18.7 years in prison. A criminologist wants to perform a hypothesis test to determine whether the mean sentence by one particular judge differs from 18.7 years. A random sample of 40 cases from the court files from this judge is taken. It is found that sample mean is 17.2 years. Assume that the population standard deviation is 7.4 years. Test at the 0.05 significance level.
Solution: Criminologist wants to perform a hypothesis test to determine whether the mean sentence by one particular judge differs from 18.7 years
1. H0: µ = 18.7
Ha: µ ≠18.7
2. significance level = 0.05
3. Test statistics: The test is two-tailed
z = xbar - µ / ơ/√n = (17.2-18.7)/[7.4/sqrt(40)] = -1.2820
4. P-value or critical z0 or t0. The critical values are – z0 = -1.96 and z0 = 1.96
5. Rejection Region: z < -1.96 and z > 1.96
6. Decision: since test statistic is not in the reject interval, Fail to reject Ho.
7. Interpretation: The test does not provide strong evidence for rejecting the belief the average sentence is 18.7
b. Use the P-value method.
1. H0: µ = 18.7
Ha: µ ≠18.7
2. significance level = 0.05
3. Test statistics: z = xbar - µ / ơ/√n = (17.2-18.7)/[7.4/sqrt(40)] = -1.2820
4. P-value or critical z0 or t0. In Table 4, the area corresponding to z = -1.2820 is 0.1003. Because the test is a two-tailed test, the P-value is equal to twice the area to the left of z = 0.2820
P = 2(0.1003) = 0.2006
5. Rejection Region: ?
6. Decision: Since p-value is greater than 0.05 fail to reject Ho.
7. Interpretation: The test does not provide strong evidence for rejecting the belief the average sentence is 18.7

Question 191494: A consumer advocacy group is doing a large study on car rental practices. Among other things, the consumer group would like to do a statistical test regarding the mean monthly mileage,m , of cars rented in the U.S. this year. The consumer group has reason to believe that the mean monthly mileage of cars rented in the U.S. this year is different from last year's mean, which was 2850 miles.
The group plans to do a statistical test regarding the value of m. It chooses a random sample of monthly mileages and computes the mean of the sample to be 2675 miles and the standard deviation to be 800 miles.
Based on this information, answer the questions below.
What are the null hypothesis (H o) and the alternate hypothosis (H1)that should be used for the test?

Researchers with a health spa have developed five different diet-exercise programs to help obese people lose weight.Results are given below as to the amount of weight lost in each program. Is there evidence to suggest that there is a difference in weight loss based on the given regimen? Use a 0.05 level of significance to test the claim.
Weight Loss Program A: 13,16,16,7,12,7,4,12,9
Weight Loss Program B: 12,8,6,9,11,6,10,5,7,9,11,13,11,19,15
