A student wanted to know the how fast a generic vitamin dissolves. The research student used vinegar as a proxy for stomach acid and measured the time in minutes it took for a vitamin tablet to dissolve. The results for 30 trials are listed in the table. 4.97 5.03 5.25 5.35 5.38 5.5 5.92 5.55 5.98 5.57 6.17 5.77 6.23 5.78 6.3 6.33 6.35 6.47 6.5 6.5 6.57 7.18 6.6 7.25 6.73 7.42 7.13 7.42 7.17 7.58 The individual is: generic vitamin The variable is: $Time$ The population is: all vitamin The sample is: 30 generic vitamin The parameter is: How long it took the vitamin to dissolve The statistic is: the results of how fast generic vitamin dissolve The mean ? or $\bar{x}$ is 6.265 minutes by using Sum of 187.95 Sample size is N = n = 30 = 6 min. The variance of the data set is 0.56833621 min. $\approx$0.5683 min. The standard deviation is 0.75388076 min. $\approx$0.7539 min. The mode of the data set is multiple 6.5 & 7.12 Frequency 2 The range of the data set is 2.61 min. The median of the data set is 6.315 min. Create a boxplot for the given data set. Label the Five Number Summary, outliers. 4.07 5.57 Boxplot for How fast generic vitamin 6.315

A researcher wanted to determine if the mean time to complete a bachelor's degree was different depending on the selectivity of the first institution of higher education that was attended. The following data represent a random sample of 12th-graders who earned their degree within eight years. Probability plots indicate that the data for each treatment level are normally distributed. (a) What type of observational study was conducted? What is the response variable? (b) Find the sample mean for each treatment level. (c) Find the sample standard deviation for each treatment level. Using the general rule presented in this chapter, does it appear that the population variances are the same? (d) Use the time to degree completion for students first attending highly selective institutions to construct a 95% confidence interval estimate for the population mean. (e) How many pairwise comparisons are possible among the treatment levels? (f) Consider the null hypothesis H0: µ1 = µ2 = µ3 = µ4 = µ5. If we test this hypothesis using t-tests for each pair of treatments, use your answer from part (e) to compute the probability of making a Type I error, assuming that each test uses an α = 0.05 level of significance. (g) Use the one-way ANOVA procedure to determine if there is a difference in the mean time to degree completion for the different types of initial institutions. If the null hypothesis is rejected, use Tukey's test to determine which pairwise differences are significant using a familywise error rate of α = 0.05.

An experiment was planned to compare the mean time (in days) required to recover from a common cold for persons given a daily dose of 4 mg of vitamin C versus those who were not given a vitamin C supplement. Suppose that 35 adults were randomly selected for each treatment category. For the group taking vitamin C the mean recovery time was 5.8 days with a standard deviation of 1.2 days. For the group not taking vitamin C the mean recovery time was 6.9 days with a standard deviation of 2.9 days. Do the data present sufficient evidence vitamin C reduces the mean time required to recover from a common cold? Test using α = 2.5%. a. State the Null Hypothesis H0 : b. State the Alternative Hypothesis Ha : c. Draw a curve listing the Null Region, Alternative Region (with area), and critical value(s). d. Calculate the test statistic. e. State your conclusion.

A random sample of 12 second-year university students enrolled in a business statistics course was drawn. At the course's completion, each student was asked how many hours he or she spent doing homework in statistics. The data are listed below: 56 53 59 57 54 63 54 65 60 51 65 55 It is known that the population standard deviation is 6. The instructor has recommended that students devote 5 hours per week for the duration of the 12-week semester, for a total of 60 hours. Test to determine whether there is evidence at the 0.01 significance level that the average student spent less than the recommended amount of time. Fill in the requested information below. A. The value of the standardized test statistic: Note: For the next part, your answer should use interval notation. An answer of the form (-∞, a] is expressed (-infty, a), an answer of the form (b, ∞] is expressed (b, infty), and an answer of the form (-∞, a] U (b, ∞] is expressed (-infty, a)U(b, infty). B. The rejection region for the standardized test statistic: C. The p-value is D. Your decision for the hypothesis test: A. Do Not Reject H0. B. Do Not Reject H1. C. Reject H1. D. Reject H0.
