A new sleeping pill is advertised to increase the daily sleeping time of insomniacs by an average of 2.9 hours with a variance of 0.36. A government group conducts an independent study on the new pill, claiming that the actual variance of increasing sleeping time is different from the advertised variance. The government group tests 12 insomniacs, chosen at random, with the new pill. The insomniacs report a mean daily sleeping increase of 2.8 hours with a variance of 0.18. Test the government's claim at a 0.10 level of significance.

A sleep disorder specialist wants to test the effectiveness of a new drug that is reported to increase the number of hours of sleep patients get during the night. To do so, the specialist randomly selects nine patients and records the number of hours of sleep each gets with and without the new drug. The results of the two-night study are listed below. Using this data, find the 99% confidence interval for the true difference in hours of sleep between the patients using and not using the new drug. Assume that the hours of sleep are normally distributed for the population of patients both before and after taking the new drug. Patient 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Hours of sleep without the drug 4.4 6.6 5.7 2.2 5.1 3.1 6.1 2.8 6.8 Hours of sleep with the new drug 7.3 8.3 8.4 3.7 6.6 5.3 6.8 5.2 7.8 Step 4 of 4 : Construct the 99% confidence interval. Round your answers to two decimal places.

A thousand second year medical school students were surveyed about sleep patterns. They were asked if they slept more than 6 hours per night as undergraduates and if they currently sleep more than 6 hours per night. You would like to test if sleep patterns have changed (i.e., the percentages are different). Which test would be used? 1. one sample t-test 2 two sample t-test 3 paired t-test 4 one proportion z-test 5 two proportion z-test 6 goodness of fit test 7 test of independence 8 test of homogeneity
