Adults can read four paragraphs of text in the common Times New Roman font in an average time of seconds. Researchers asked a random sample of adults to read this text in the omate font named Gigi. Here are their times, in seconds:
23.2 | 21.2 | 28.9 | 27.7 | 29.1 | 27.3 | 16.1 | 22.6 | 25.6 | 34.2 | 23.9 | 26.8 |
20.5 | 34.3 | 21.4 | 32.6 | 26.2 | 34.1 | 31.5 | 24.6 | 23.0 | 28.6 | 24.4 | 28.1 |
Do these data provide good evidence that the mean reading time for Gigi is greater than seconds? Carry out an appropriate test to help you answer this question.
- Use a confidence interval to draw a conclusion for a two-sided test about a population mean.
A Gallup Poll report on a national survey of 1028 teenagers revealed that 72% of teens said they seldom or never argue with their friends. Yvonne wonders whether this national result would be true in her large high school. So she surveys a
a random sample of 150 students at her school.
When asked to explain the meaning of the P-value in Exercise 13, a student
says, “This means there is only probability 0.01 that the null hypothesis is true.” Explain clearly why the student’s explanation is wrong.
Normal body temperature (8.2) If "normal" body temperature really is , we would expect the proportion of all healthy 18- to 40 -year-olds who have body temperatures less than this value to be . Construct and interpret a confidence interval for . What conclusion would you draw?
Simon reads a newspaper report claiming that 12% of all adults in the United States are left-handed. He wonders if 12% of the students at his large public high school are left-handed. Simon chooses an SRS of 100 students and records whether each student is right- or left-handed.
