Listed in the accompanying table are 127 measured and reported weights (lb) of female subjects. Use the listed paired sample data, and assume that the samples are simple random samples and that the differences have a distribution that is approximately normal. Complete parts (a) through (c). Click the icon to view the measured and reported weights. a. Use a 0.10 significance level to test the claim that for females, the measured weights tend to be higher than the reported weights. In this example, $mu_d$ is the mean value of the differences $d$ for the population of all pairs of data, where each individual difference $d$ is defined as the measured weight minus the reported weight. What are the null and alternative hypotheses for the hypothesis test? $H_0: mu_d$ lb $H_1: mu_d$ lb (Type integers or decimals. Do not round.)

Given in the table are the BMI statistics for random samples of men and women. Assume that the two samples are independent simple random samples selected from normally distributed populations, and do not assume that the population standard deviations are equal. Complete parts (a) and (b) below. Use a 0.01 significance level for both parts. Male BMI Female BMI μ μ1 μ2 n 50 50 x̄ 27.7419 26.4352 s 8.437128 5.693359 a) Test the claim that males and females have the same mean body mass index. What are the null and alternative hypotheses? What is the test statistic? What is the p-value? State the conclusion for this test. b) Construct a confidence interval suitable for testing the claim that males and females have the same mean BMI. Does the confidence interval support the conclusion of the test?

Assume that the two samples are independent simple random samples selected from normally distributed populations, and do not assume that the population standard deviations are equal. (Note: Answers in Appendix D include technology answers based on Formula 9 - 1 along with "Table" answers based on Table $A$ - 3 with df equal to the smaller of $\boldsymbol{n}_{I}-\boldsymbol{I}$ and $\boldsymbol{n}_{2}-\boldsymbol{I} .$ ) 12. IQ and Lead Exposure Data Set 7 "IQ and Lead" in Appendix B lists full IQ scores for a random sample of subjects with low lead levels in their blood and another random sample of subjects with high lead levels in their blood. The statistics are summarized below. a. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the mean IQ score of people with low blood lead levels is higher than the mean IQ score of people with high blood lead levels. b. Construct a confidence interval appropriate for the hypothesis test in part (a). c. Does exposure to lead appear to have an effect on IQ scores? Low Blood Lead Level: $n=78, \bar{x}=92.88462, s=15.34451$ High Blood Lead Level: $n=21, \bar{x}=86.90476, s=8.988352$
Inferences from Two Samples
Two Means: Independent Samples
Listed in the accompanying table are weights (lb) of samples of the contents of cans of regular Coke and Diet Coke. Assume that the two samples are independent simple random samples selected from normally distributed populations. Do not assume that the population standard deviations are equal. Complete parts (a) to (c). Click the icon to view the data table of can weights. a. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the contents of cans of regular Coke have weights with a mean that is greater than the mean of Diet Coke. What are the null and alternative hypotheses? Assume that population 1 consists of regular Coke and population 2 consists of Diet Coke. A. H0: μ1 ≤ μ2 H1: μ1 > μ2 B. H0: μ1 ≠μ2 H1: μ1 > μ2 C. H0: μ1 = μ2 H1: μ1 ≠μ2 D. H0: μ1 = μ2 H1: μ1 > μ2 Regular Coke: 0.81920, 0.81503, 0.81632, 0.82105, 0.81806, 0.82473, 0.80620, 0.81280, 0.81723, 0.81101, 0.82507, 0.82643 Diet Coke: 0.77730, 0.77577, 0.78962, 0.78678, 0.78436, 0.78610, 0.78057, 0.78298, 0.78516, 0.78789, 0.78805, 0.78256, 0.79233, 0.78516, 0.78724, 0.78130 The test statistic is .
