choice: choose the one alternative that best completes the statement or answers the question.

1) Kate wants to compare two means. Her sample statistics were  1 = 22.7, s12 = 5.4, n1 = 9 and  2 = 20.5, s22 = 3.6, n2 = 9.
Assuming equal variances, test equal means with α = .05.

2) In a random sample of patient records in Cutter Memorial Hospital, six-month postoperative exams were given in 90 out of 200
prostatectomy patients, while in Paymor Hospital such exams were given in 110 out of 200 cases. In a two-tailed test for equality of
proportions, what is the test statistic?

3) During a test period, an experimental group of 10 vehicles using an 85 percent ethanol-gasoline mixture showed mean CO 2
emissions of 667 pounds per 1000 miles, with a standard deviation of 20 pounds. A control group of 14 vehicles using regular gasoline
showed mean CO2 emissions of 679 pounds per 1000 miles with a standard deviation of 15 pounds. At α = .05, do a left-tailed test to
compare the means (assuming unequal variances)?

4) In a test of a new surgical procedure, the five most respected surgeons in FlatBroke Township were invited to Carver Hospital. Each
surgeon was assigned two patients of the same age, gender, and overall health. One patient was operated upon in the old way, and the
other in the new way. Both procedures are considered equally safe. The surgery times are shown below:
Surgeon
  Allen   Bob   Chloe   Daphne   Edgar  
Old way   36       55       28       40       62    
New way   31       45       28       35       57    

Test for zero difference in mean times with α = .05.

5) A random sample of Ersatz University students revealed that 16 females had a mean of $22.30 in their wallets with a standard
deviation of $3.20, while 6 males had a mean of $17.30 with a standard deviation of $9.60. At α = .10, test for equal variances with
with α = .05.
