They could turn the lights on and off as they wished. After a month in the room‚ each individual tended to develop a steady cycle. Their cycles at the end of the study were as follows: 25‚ 27‚ 25‚ 23‚ 24‚ 25‚ 26‚ and 25.Using the .05 level of significance‚ what should we conclude about the theory that 24 hours is the natural cycle? (That is‚ does the average cycle length under these conditions differ significantly from 24 hours?) (a) Use the steps of hypothesis testing. (b) Sketch the distributions

STEPS IN STATISTICAL INVESTIGATION 1. DEFINING THE PROBLEM The main goal of the project we are involved in is to get some information about how people from different countries (as Spain and Sweden) think about one important problem in our current society: the Environment. Pupils and teachers from both countries created the questions for the surveys in order to get some important aspects and point of views about this topic. Then‚ pupils carried out surveys and now‚ it is the moment to analyze and

A hypothesis test is to be performed. Determine the null and alternative hypotheses. 1) A manufacturer claims that the mean amount of juice in its 16 ounce bottles is 16.1 ounces. A consumer advocacy group wants to perform a hypothesis test to determine whether the mean amount is actually less than this. Classify the hypothesis test

level of significance of alpha 0.05‚ the p-value for the two-tailed test was determined to be 0.55‚ because this is greater than our level of significance‚ we cannot reject our null hypothesis and can conclude with 95% level of confidence that the two methods do not differ in completion times. To test the population variances we also conducted a hypothesis test about the equality of the two variances. Ho: σ_1^2=σ_2^2 Ha:σ_1^2≠σ_2^2 This test was also done with a level of significance of alpha

Interpret the coefficients a‚ b‚ c. Coefficient a = 175086.0 when b and c are zero. b- is greater than zero‚ therefore‚ we reject the null hypothesis (Ho: b = 0) and accept the alternative hypothesis (Ha : b < 0). At the 10 percent significance level‚ the t-statistic (2.63) is greater than the critical t-value (1.697). c- co-efficient is negative and closer to and less than zero; the standard error is greater than the c-coefficient of the parameter estimate‚ R.
