1. Researchers compared two groups of competitive rowers: a group of skilled rowers and a group of novices. The researchers measured the angular velocity of each subject's right knee, which describes the rate at which the knee joint opens as the legs push the body back on the sliding seat. The sample size n, the sample means, and the sample standard deviations for the two groups are given below.
The researchers wished to test the hypotheses
H0:the mean knee velocities for skilled and novice rowers are the same.
Ha:the mean knee velocity for skilled rowers is larger than for novice rowers.
The data showed no strong outliers or strong skewness so the researchers decided to use the two-sample t test. The value of the t test statistic is
A. 3.38.
B. 4.00.
C. 16.00.
2. We would like to know the average amount of time students spend studying for their classes each week. A random sample of 100 students are surveyed. They reported spending an average of 7.6 hours studying, with s = 1.2 hours. Based on these data, find a 95% confidence interval for the average amount of time a student studies for classes each week.
A. (7.40, 7.80)
B. (7.36, 7.84)
C. (4.82, 9.58)
3. Researchers compared two groups of competitive rowers: a group of skilled rowers and a group of novices. The researchers measured the angular velocity of each subject's right knee, which describes the rate at which the knee joint opens as the legs push the body back on the sliding seat. The sample size n, the sample means, and the sample standard deviations for the two groups are given below.
The correct test to use to decide if there is a difference in mean leg velocities is a
A. two-sample z test.
B. two-sample t test.
C. pooled two-sample t test.

Evaluate the confidence interval
: The 50 members of the placebo group had blood pressure lowered by an average of 15 points with standard deviation 8 points. To analyze this information we will use a, When testing whether or not the increases in spending are different, the test is ..

Water displacement method
: Each egg was also measured for volume using a water displacement method. We wanted to know if the two methods agreed or not

Evaluate the standard deviation
: Evaluate the standard deviation - use the conservative value for the degrees of freedom, Assume the two groups are independent and the data are approximately Normal. Let µ 1 and µ 2 represent the mean heart rates we would observe for the entire po..

Confidence interval
: Do students tend to improve their SAT Mathematics (SAT-M) score the second time they take the test? A random sample of four students who took the test twice received the following scores

What conclusion can be made from this study
: It has been claimed that women live longer than men; however, men tend to be older than their wives. Ages of sixteen husbands and wives from England were obtained. The null hypothesis of equality of means is rejected. What conclusion can be made f..
