A study conducted by the American Heart Association found that the average American exercises vigorously for an average of 17 minutes per day, with a standard deviation of 1.2. A researcher who works with women with health issues wants to determine if the group is different than the national average. The researcher finds that his group of 25 women exercises 15 minutes per day. Assume normal distribution and test at a 0.05 level of significance (a = .05).
1. State the null and alternative hypotheses.
2. What type of test is this? One tail or two tail? State the testing criteria.
3. Compute the test statistic for this research.
4. State whether to reject or retain the null hypothesis and interpret the result.
5. What is the p-value associated with the test statistic?
6. What summary conclusion can you make about the female population compared to the average American?

Arbitron Media Research Inc. conducted a study of the iPod listening habits of men and women. One facet of the study involved the mean listening time. It was discovered that the listening time for a sample of 11 men was 41 minutes per day. The standard deviation was 17 minutes per day. The mean listening time for a sample of 10 women was also 41 minutes, but the standard deviation of the sample was 9 minutes. At the 0.10 significance...

A nationwide study a few years ago showed that American women, ages 19-30, consume an average of 110 milligrams of caffeine per day. Recently a group of Stats students decided to test whether the average was more than that now. They obtained a random sample of 25 American women, ages 19-30, whose average daily consumption was 115 milligrams of caffeine per day. The standard deviation was s = 14, and a histogram was unimodal and nearly symmetric with no outliers....

A schoolteacher is concerned that her students watch more TV than the average American child. She reads that according to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the average American child watches 4 hours of TV per day (μ = 4.0 hours). She records the number of hours of TV each of her six students watch per day. The times (in hours) are 3.8, 4.6, 2.9, 5.5, 4.4, and 2.8. (a) Test the hypothesis that her students watch more TV than...

They collected data on 50,739 women free of depression symptoms at the start of the study in the year 1996, and these women were followed through 2006. The researchers used questionnaires to collect data on caffeinated coffee consumption, asked each individual about physician-diagnosed depression, and also asked about the use of antidepressants. The...
