Astudy was conducted to determine if a certain treatment has any effect on the amount of metal removed in a pickling operation. a random sample of 100 pieces was immersed in a bath for 24 hours without the treatment, yielding an average of 12.2 millimeters of metal removed and a sample standard deviation of 1.1 millimeters. a second sample of 200 pieces was exposed to the treatment, followed by the 24-hour immersion in the bath, resulting in an average removal of 9.1 millimeters of metal with a sample standard deviation of 0.9 millimeter. compute a 98% confidence interval estimate for the difference between the population means. does the treatment appear to reduce the mean amount of metal removed?

Arecent study focused on the number of times men and women who live alone buy take-out dinner in a month. assume that the distributions follow the normal probability distribution and the population standard deviations are equal. the information is summarized below. statistic men women sample mean 24.85 21.33 sample standard deviation 5.54 4.93 sample size 34 36 at the 0.01 significance level, is there a difference in the mean number of times men and women order take-out dinners in a month? state the decision rule for 0.01 significance level: h0: μmen= μwomen h1: μmen ≠ μwomen. (negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. round your answers to 3 decimal places.) compute the value of the test statistic. (round your answer to 3 decimal places.) what is your decision regarding the null hypothesis? what is the p-value? (round your answer to 3 decimal places.)

Atest of sobriety involves measuring the subject's motor skills. a sample of 31 randomly selected sober subjects take the test and produce a mean score of 64.4 with a standard deviation of 2. a claim is made that the true mean score for all sober subjects is equal to 65. for each part below, enter only a numeric value in the answer box. for example, do not type "z =" or "t =" before your answers. round each of your answers to 3 places after the decimal point. (a) calculate the value of the test statistic used in this test. test statistic's value = (b) use your calculator to find the p-value of this test. p-value = (c) use your calculator to find the critical value(s) used to test this claim at the 0.2 significance level. if there are two critical values, then list them both with a comma between them. critical value(s) =
