Section1:

Answer to Problem 134E
Solution: The null hypothesis gets rejected. So, there is a significant difference in mean between Athletes and Sedentary students for body fat.
Explanation of Solution
Calculation: The null and alternative hypotheses are:
The t-statistic is used to test the significance of the difference in mean. The pooled standard deviation is used for two standard deviation as
Degree of freedom for the two samples can be calculated by following formula:
Now the t-value can be obtained as follow:
The P-value can be calculated by using the
Conclusion: The P-value is less than

Answer to Problem 134E
Solution: The null hypothesis gets rejected. So, there is a significant difference in mean between Athletes and Sedentary students for body mass index.
Explanation of Solution
Calculation: The null and alternative hypotheses are:
The t-statistic is used to test the significance of the difference in mean. The pooled standard deviation is used for two standard deviation as
Degree of freedom for the two samples can be calculated by following formula:
The t-value is obtained as follow:
The P-value can be calculated by using the function
Conclusion: The P-value is less than

To test: The null hypothesis that there is no significant difference in mean between Athletes and Sedentary students for calcium deficit.
Section 3:

Answer to Problem 134E
Solution: The null hypothesis gets rejected. So, there is a difference in mean between Athletes and Sedentary students for calcium deficit.
Explanation of Solution
Calculation: The null and alternative hypotheses are:
The t-statistic is used to test the significance of the difference in mean. The pooled standard deviation is used for two standard deviation as
Degree of freedom for the two samples can be calculated by following formula:
The t-value is obtained as follow:
The P-value can be calculated by using the function
Conclusion: The P-value is less than
Section 4:
To test: The null hypothesis that there is no significant difference in mean between Athletes and Sedentary students for glasses of milk/day.
Section 4:

Answer to Problem 134E
Solution: The null hypothesis does not get rejected. So, there is no difference in mean between Athletes and Sedentary students for glasses of milk/day.
Explanation of Solution
Calculation: The null and alternative hypotheses are:
The t-statistic is used to test the significance of the difference in mean. The pooled standard deviation is used for two standard deviation as
Degree of freedom for the two samples can be calculated by following formula:
The t-value is obtained as follow:
The P-value can be calculated by using the function
Conclusion: The P-value is greater than 0.05. So, the null hypothesis does not get rejected, which states that there is no significant difference in mean between Athletes and Sedentary students for glasses of milk/day.

- Let X = the time between two successive arrivals at the drive-up window of a local bank. If X has an exponential distribution with λ = 1, (which is identical to a standard gamma distribution with α = 1), compute the following. (If necessary, round your answer to three decimal places.) (a) the expected time between two successive arrivals (b) the standard deviation of the time between successive arrivals (c) P(X ≤ 1) (d) P(2 ≤ X ≤ 4) You may need to use the appropriate table in the Appendix of Tablesarrow_forwardIn each case, determine the value of the constant c that makes the probability statement correct.

Here, you are required to perform a regression between Y and X for the purpose of prediction. Show the regression line and then discuss the following: Run an OLS regression to test the significance of the theoretical signs expected What is the Y-intercept Compute the slope R square and r (correlation coefficient) Is the explanatory variable significant at the 5% level? That is, what is the “t” value? Estimate the regression equation and graphically show the regression line Compute the p-value and is it less than the 5% cut off point for being significant?arrow_forwardseries and sequencearrow_forward
