The following are the scores of 10 male and 10 female engineering students in spelling Test the null hypothesis that there is no significant difference between the performance of male and female engineering students in the said test. Use the t test at the 0.05 level of significance. Male (X1 ) 14 18 17 16 4 14 12 10 17. Female (X2) 12 9 11 5 10 3 7 2 6 13 Solve the problem by getting the following requirements: 1) Specific Problem 2) Null Hypothesis. 3) Alternative Hypothesis 4) Statistical Method Used. 5) Level of Significance. 6) Region of Rejection. 7) Computation of the value of t. 8). Decision. 9). Conclusion.

(1) State the null hypothesis & alternative hypothesis; Identify which is the claim. (2) Identify the significance level. (3) Calculate the test statistic. (4) Sketch a graph and label it completely (test-stat, p-value, etc.). (5) Determine whether to reject or fail-to-reject the null hypothesis. (6) Write a final conclusion that addresses the original claim. A statistics professor at an all-men's college determined that the standard deviation of men's heights is 3.0 inches. The professor then randomly selected 37 female students from a nearby all-female college and found the standard deviation to be 2.7 inches. Test the professor's claim that the standard deviation of female heights is lower than 3.0 inches. Use α = 0.10. Round your test statistic and p-value to three decimal places, as needed.

Instructions: For the following ten exercises, Hypothesis testing: For the following ten exercises, answer each question. a. State the null and alternate hypothesis. b. State the p-value. c. State alpha. d. What is your decision? e. Write a conclusion. f. Answer any other questions asked in the problem. A report by the Gallup Poll found that a woman visits her doctor, on average, at most 5.8 times each year. A random sample of 20 women results in these yearly visit totals $3 ; 2 ; 1 ; 3 ; 7 ; 2 ; 9 ; 4 ; 6 ; 6 ; 8 ; 0 ; 5 ; 6 ; 4 ; 2 ; 1 ; 3 ; 4 ; 1$ At the $\alpha=0.05$ level can it be concluded that the sample mean is higher than 5.8 visits per year?

Additional Information and Full Hypothesis Test Examples
Identify the null hypothesis, alternative hypothesis, test statistic, Pvalue or critical value(s), conclusion about the null hypothesis, and final conclusion that addresses the original claim. Since the HawkEye instant replay system for tennis was introduced at the U.S. Open in 2006, men challenged 1412 referee calls, with the result that 421 of the calls were overturned. Women challenged 759 referee calls, and 220 of the calls were overturned. We want to use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that men and women have equal success in challenging calls. a. Test the claim using a hypothesis test. b. Test the claim by constructing an appropriate confidence interval. c. Based on the results, does it appear that men and women have equal success in challenging calls?
