1. For each elaim below, write: (1) claim in mathematical form; (2) Null hypothesis (Ho); (3) alternative hypothesis (H,); (4) what tailed test. Use notations Hi. Hz (for mean), P-Pz (for proportion), .02 (Sor standard deviation), Fo (for differences in means for dependent (Le, matched pair) samples) (10

(a) Claim: Califormia HS students on an average score lower in the SAT than Massachusetts HS students (1-Califomia, 2- Massachusets)

(b) Claim: The proportion of smokers in Texas is the same as that in Oklahoma (1- Texas, 2- Oklahoma)

(c) Claim: The standard deviation of weights in 8 oz Coke cans is at least as high as that in Pepsi cans (1- Coke, 2- Pepsi)

(d) Claim: Ethiopian track athletes are, on an average, faster long-distance runners than the USA track athletes (1 Ethiopia, 2- USA)

(e) Claim: The cholesterol level before taking Lipitor is, on an average, higher than that after taking the drug (1-Before drug. 2-Afer drug).

2. Average Temperatures The average temperatures for a 25-day period for Birmingham, Alabama, and Chicago, Illinois, are shown. Based on the samples, at a =0.10, can it be concluded that it is warmer in Birmingham?

Birmingham 78 82 68 67 68 75 73 75 64 68 62 73 77 78 79 74 72 73 78 68 73 79 82 71 66.

3 Gambling A survey of 60 men found that 36 gamble. Another survey of 50 women found that 28 gamble. At a-0.01, is there a difference in the proportions?

4. Testing After Review A statistics class was given a pretest on probability (since many had previous experience in some other class). Then the class was given a six-page review handout to study for 2 days. At the next class they were given another test. Is there sufficient evidence that the scores improved? Use a-0.05.

5. For the problem below: a. Draw the scatter plot. b. Compute the value of the correlation coefficient. c. Test the significance of the correlation coefficient at a-0.01, using the shortcut method that you learned from the PowerPoint slides d. Determine the regression line equation if r is significant. e. Plot the regression line on the scatter plot, if appropriate. f. Predict y' for a specific value of x, if appropriate. Protein and Diastolic Blood Pressure A study was conducted with vegetarians to see whether the number of grams of protein each ate per day was related to diastolic blood pressure. The data are given here. If there is a significant relationship, predict the diastolic pressure of a vegetarian who consumes 8 grams of protein per day.

Grams x 4 6.5 5 5.5 8 10 9 8.2 10.5

pressure y 73 79 83 82 84 92 88 86 95

2. Suppose you ask a person at many random times to state how happy they are [on some scale}. These scores fora singie person are then averaged to get an average happiness snore [AHIL If you nd the AH score for different people. you'll curiously get different results, but let's suppose that the AH scores for random people are normaily distributed with mean 65 [on some particular happiness instrument}. a. Suppose you are told that the happiest 1% of people score 83 or above. What is the standard deviation of the AH distribution using this happiness instrument? b. A new happiness instrument is designed where AH is normallyI distributed with mean 50 and standard deviation 5. How marryr random peopie would you have to talk to before you met a total ofthree people who scored below 43 on this new instrument
