Hypothesis Test for Two Populations including
We are interested in determining whether or not the variances of the sales at two small grocery stores are equal. A sample of 21 days of sales at Store A and a sample of 16 days of sales at Store B indicated the following
| Store A | Store B |
| nA=21 | nB=16 |
| SA=28.284 |
SB=20 |
Which of the following is critical values of F at 95% confidence?
Group of answer choices
A. a and d
B. 2.57
C. 0.3891
D. 0.3623
E. 2.76
Answer: B) 2.57
Explanation:
The degrees of freedom for numerator = 21-1 =20
The degrees of freedom for denominator =16-1 =15
The critical values of F at 95% confidence and (20, 15) df =2.57

If the alternative hypothesis contains the statement HA: µ 1 - µ 2 < 0, which of the following is an equivalent statement to HA? Group of answer choices a. µ1 is larger than µ2 b. µ1 is smaller than µ2 c. µ1 is the same...

A grocery store manager is interested in determining whether or not a difference exists between the shelf life of two different brands of doughnuts. A random sample of boxes for each brand was selected and the shelf life in days was determined for each box. The sample results are given below. Brand A Brand B x¯A=2.1 x¯B=2.7 sA=1.1 sB=1.2 nA=110 nA=108 Find a 91% confidence interval for μA−μB, that is, the difference in mean shelf life between Brand A and...

Consider the following hypothesis test. H0: μ1 − μ2 = 0 Ha: μ1 − μ2 ≠ 0 The following results are from independent samples taken from two populations assuming the variances are unequal. Sample 1 Sample 2 n1 = 35 n2 = 40 x1 = 13.6 x2 = 10.1 s1 = 5.3 s2 = 8.3 What is the value of the test statistic? (Use x1 − x2 .(Round your answer to three decimal places.) ________________.

Find the standardized test statistic, t, to test the claim that μ1 < μ2. Two samples are random, independent, and come from populations that are normally distributed. The sample statistics are given below. Assume that two populations' variance is the same (σ21= σ22). n1 = 15 n2 = 15 x1 = 25.76 x2 = 28.31 s1 = 2.9 s2 = 2.8
28-32. A manufacturer of an air compressor and tire pump wants to test two possible point-of-purchase displays. The product is sold through independent auto parts stores, which vary greatly in sales volume. A total of 30 stores agree to feature the display for one month. The stores are matched on the basis of annual sales volume. One of the two largest stores is randomly chosen to receive display A; the other receives B. The same thing is done for the...
