13.6

a.) Estimated standard error = 3.02/√ 7= 3.02/2.646= 1.1413

t=(34.89-32)/1.1413= 2.89/1.1413= 2.532

Df=7-1=6; t critical value=2.447

Since the t value is greater than the t critical value, then we would reject the null hypothesis.

b.) 34.89±(2.447)(1.1413) =34.89±2.793= 32.097 and 37.683

The number of trials would have to be between about 32 and 38 trials.

c.)

13.8

a.) Estimated standard error= 9/√ 28= 9/5.2915= 1.7008

T=(90-88)/1.7008= 2/1.7008= 1.1759

Df=28-1=27; t critical value=2.052

Since the t value is less than the t critical value we do not reject the null hypothesis.

b.) The null hypothesis was not rejected so there is no need to construct a confidence interval.

13.9

a.) A smaller sample size so it would relate to a smaller population and have less variability due to flaws
or underlying issues with the cars.

b.) Larger sample size so the variability can address the flaws or underlying issues with the federal
regulatory agency.

13.10

a.) larger

b.)larger

T= (9.33-7)-0/3.5182= 2.33/3.5182= 0.6623

T= 0.6623 t critical value= 2.228

Since the t value is less than the t critical value you would not reject the null hypothesis.

4.12

a.) t= (110-108)-0/1.80= 2/1.80= 1.11 t=1.11

t critical value=2.390

Since the t value is less than the t critical value, you would not reject the null hypothesis.

b.) The null hypothesis was not rejected so there is no need to construct a confidence interval.

4.14

a.) t=(26.4-18.6)-0/2.4= 3.25

t critical value =1.671

Since the t vale is greater than the t critical value, you would reject the null hypothesis.

b.)p<0.001

c.) 26.4-18.6±(1.671)(2.4)= 7.8±4.0104= 3.8 to 11.8

d.) d= mean difference/ standard deviation

d= 26.4-18.4/13.15= 0.59

e.) Number of errors made on the driving stimulator is significantly greater when alcohol is consumed
than when no alcohol is consumed.

Standard error= sD/√ n= .14/√ 7= .14/2.646= .05

t= .22-0/.05= 4.4

t critical value= 3.143

Since the t value of 4.4 is greater than the t critical value 3.143 then the null hypothesis should be
rejected.

b.) p<.01

d.) Physical exercise causes an increase in mean GPA.

Standard error= 1.69/√ 8= 1.69/2.83= .60

t= 1.5-0/.60= 2.5

t critical value = 1.895

Since the t value of 2.5 is greater than the t critical value of 1.895 then the null hypothesis will be
rejected.

b.) p<.05

c.)CI= 1.5±(2.365)(.60)= 1.5±1.6= -.1 to 3.1

d= 1.5/1.69= .89

It can be claimed with a 95% confidence that the interval between -.1 to 3.1 includes the true mean for
the population difference of consumption of cigarettes after the antismoking film. With a -.1 indicates
that the antismoking film did not have the full desired effects. According to Cohen’s guidelines, the
effect size of .89 is large.
15.10

a.) standard error= 66.33/√ 12= 66.33/3.46= 19.17

t=51.33-0/19.17=2.68

t critical value= 1.796

Since t value of 2.68 is greater than the t critical value of 1.796 then the null hypothesis will be rejected.

b.) p<.05

c.) Yes

d.) 51.33±(2.201)(19.17)= 51.33±42.19= 9.14 to 93.52

It can be claimed with a 95% confidence that the interval between 9.14 to 93.52 seconds includes the
true effect of blood doping.

e.)d= 51.33/66.33= .77

According to Cohen’s guidelines, .77 is a large effect.

f.) For athletes who serve as their own control blood doping causes a decline in mean running time.

g.) Because it eliminates possible biases.

h.) 9.14 to 93.52 seconds would have been too short of time to eliminate the effects of blood doping,
causing the effects of blood doping to have been obscured.

t=42.8-0/8.47= 5.05

t critical value= 2.262

Since the t value of 5.05 is greater than the t critical value of 2.262 the null hypothesis will be rejected.

b.) p value is .0007. p<.05
