A study reported that the average age of menarche of girls entering the first year class of a small American private college in the year 2008 was 11.89. Suppose you want to test whether the age of menarche of the girls in your class is different. After randomly selecting 30 girls and recording their menarche age, we find that this sample of girls were at the average age of 12.98 years old, with a 95% confidence interval from 11.59 year-old to 13.31 year-old. Based on this interval, should you reject or fail to reject the hypothesis that the menarche age of girls in you class is 11.89 on average?
Homework Answers
As 95% confidence interval from 11.59 year-old to 13.31 year-old. is given
It contains 11.89 so, we fail l to reject the hypothesis that the menarche age of girls in you class is 11.89 on average

Let x = age in years of a rural Quebec woman at the time of her first marriage. In the year 1941, the population variance of x was approximately σ2 = 5.1. Suppose a recent study of age at first marriage for a random sample of 41 women in rural Quebec gave a sample variance s2 = 2.6. Use a 5% level of significance to test the claim that the current variance is less than 5.1. Find a 90% confidence...

The average blood pressure for adults in the 30-40 year old age range is about 135. A researcher wonders whether the blood pressure of individuals with high stress positions differs from 135, keeping age range constant. For a random sample of 120 people with high stress jobs, he found: X_bar = 137 p-value = 0.11 95% CI (139 to 141) Based on these findings, he decided not to reject the null. Did he make the right decision? Select one: a....

In 1955, Life Magazine reported that a 25-year-old mother of three worked, on average, an 80 hour week. Recently, many groups have been studying whether or not the women's movement has, in fact, resulted in an increase in the average work week for women (combining employment and at-home work). Suppose a study was done to determine if the mean work week has increased. 68 women were surveyed with the following results. The sample mean was 83;...
