Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's break down the matching problems and procedures based on the uploaded image:
-
Problem 1:
"To test that a gasoline additive increases mileage..."
The difference between mileage with and without the additive is analyzed for each car. This is a paired-data test because the same cars are used in both conditions.
Answer: 1-tailed test of paired-data with positive critical value (Procedure 4). -
Problem 2:
"Test size C battery mean life is at least 25 hours."
Testing if the mean life is at least a certain value involves a 1-tailed test for the mean.
Answer: 1-tailed test of mean with negative critical values (Procedure 3). -
Problem 3:
"Run times of GotYourGP and WeTrackYou.Inc..."
Comparing the means of two independent populations requires a 2-tailed test of means of 2 independent populations.
Answer: 2-tailed test of means of 2 independent populations (Procedure 5). -
Problem 4:
"Given weights...test the population mean is 35."
Testing if the sample mean is equal to a hypothesized population mean involves a 2-tailed test of the mean.
Answer: 2-tailed test of mean with both negative and positive critical values (Procedure 2). -
Problem 5:
"An effective vaccine would reduce the proportion of exposed persons contracting a disease..."
Testing if the proportion of vaccinated individuals who contract the disease is less than 40% involves a 1-tailed test of proportion with a negative critical value.
Answer: 1-tailed test of proportion with negative critical value (Procedure 1).
Final Answers:
- Problem 1 → Procedure 4
- Problem 2 → Procedure 3
- Problem 3 → Procedure 5
- Problem 4 → Procedure 2
- Problem 5 → Procedure 1
Would you like me to explain any of these matches or provide further details?
5 Follow-Up Questions:
- What is the significance of using a 1-tailed vs. 2-tailed test in hypothesis testing?
- Why is it important to distinguish between paired and independent data sets?
- How do we calculate the critical value for a given alpha level?
- What is the relationship between p-value and critical value in hypothesis testing?
- How can sample size affect the outcome of these statistical tests?
Tip:
Always verify whether the problem involves paired samples (e.g., before-and-after measures) or independent samples, as this significantly affects the choice of statistical test.
