  2. Not applicable
  3. True
  4. True
  5. True

Step by step solution

01

Determining the value of t0 when the probability is 0.95 and degrees of freedom is 10

a.

The two-tail test is applicable in this case. With the help of MS Excel, the exact value of t0 can be found to be 0.064298 when the degrees of freedom is 10. This shows that statement is not true. The value of t0 is very less than the values of t (taking reference from Appendix D).

02

Determining the value of t0 when the probability is unknown and degrees of freedom is 10

In this subpart, the solution cannot be found as the value of the probability is not there.The value of the probability is required in this subpart to denote the value of the t0.

03

Determining the value of t0 when the probability is 0.05 and degrees of freedom is 10

c.

In this subpart, the one-tail test is applicable. With the help of MS Excel, the exact value of t0 can be found to be 1.81246 when the degrees of freedom is 10. This shows that statement is true. The value of t0 is greater than the value of t at t.050, which is 1.725 (taking reference from Appendix D).

04

 Step 4: Determining the value of t0 when the probability is 0.10 and degrees of freedom is 20

e.

In this subpart, the two-tail test is applicable, and so, with the help of MS Excel, the exact value of t0 can be found to be 1.72472 when the degrees of freedom is 20. This shows that statement is true as the value of t0 is greater than the value of t at t.100, which is 1.325 (taking reference from Appendix D).

05

Determining the value of t0 when the probability is 0.01 and degrees of freedom is 5

f.

In this subpart, the two-tail test is applicable, and so, with the help of MS Excel, the exact value of t0 can be found to be 4.0321 when the degrees of freedom is 5. This shows that statement is true as the value of t0 is greater than the value of t at t.010, which is 3.365 (taking reference from Appendix D).

Conducting a political poll. A pollster wants to estimate the difference between the proportions of men and women who favor a particular national candidate using a 90% confidence interval of width .04. Suppose the pollster has no prior information about the proportions. If equal numbers of men and women are to be polled, how large should the sample sizes be?

Independent random samples from normal populations produced the results shown in the next table.

Drug content assessment. Scientists at GlaxoSmithKlineMedicines Research Center used high-performance liquidchromatography (HPLC) to determine the amountof drug in a tablet produced by the company (Analytical

Chemistry, Dec. 15, 2009). Drug concentrations (measuredas a percentage) for 50 randomly selected tablets are listedin the table below and saved in the accompanying file.

a. Descriptive statistics for the drug concentrations areshown at the top of the XLSTAT printout on the nextpage. Use this information to assess whether the dataare approximately normal.

b. An XLSTAT normal probability plot follows. Use thisinformation to assess whether the data are approximatelynormal.

Question: Is caffeine addictive? Does the caffeine in coffee, tea, and cola induce an addiction similar to that induced by alcohol, tobacco, heroin, and cocaine? In an attempt to answer this question, researchers at Johns Hopkins University examined 27 caffeine drinkers and found 25 who displayed some type of withdrawal symptoms when abstaining from caffeine. [Note: The 27 caffeine drinkers volunteered for the study.] Furthermore, of 11 caffeine drinkers who were diagnosed as caffeine dependent, 8 displayed dramatic withdrawal symptoms (including impairment in normal functioning) when they consumed a caffeine-free diet in a controlled setting. The National Coffee Association claimed, however, that the study group was too small to draw conclusions. Is the sample large enough to estimate the true proportion of caffeine drinkers who are caffeine dependent to within .05 of the true value with 99% confidence? Explain.
