Identify the most appropriate test to use for the following situation:
In a experiment on relaxation techniques, subject's brain signals were measured before and after the
relaxation exercises. We wish to determine if the relaxation exercise slowed the brain waves.
a)
Matched pairs
b)
One sample t test
c)
Two sample t test
d)
Two sample z test
Question 5
To use the two sample t procedure to perform a significance test on the difference of two means, we assume:
a)
The populations' standard deviation are known.
b)
The samples from each population are independent.
c)
The distributions are exactly normal in each population.
d)
The sample sizes are large.
Question 6
Solid fats are more likely to raise blood cholesterol levels than liquid fats. Suppose a nutritionist analyzed
the percentage of saturated fat for a sample of 6 brands of stick margarine (solid fat) and for a sample of 6
brands of liquid margarine and obtained the following results:
We want to determine if there a significant difference in the average amount of saturated fat in solid and
liquid fats. What is the test statistic? (assume the population data is normally distributed)
a)
t = 25.263
b)
z = 39.604
c)
t = 39.604
d)
t = 39.104
e)
z = 39.104
Question 7
It has been observed that some persons who suffer acute heartburn, again suffer acute heartburn within one
year of the first episode. This is due, in part, to damage from the first episode. The performance of a new
drug designed to prevent a second episode is to be tested for its effectiveness in preventing a second episode.
In order to do this two groups of people suffering a first episode are selected. There are 55 people in the first
group and this group will be administered the new drug. There are 75 people in the second group and this

group will be administered a placebo. After one year, 10% of the first group has a second episode and 9% of
the second group has a second episode. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine, at the significance level 0.01,
whether there is reason to believe that the true percentage of those in the first group who suffer a second
episode is different from the true percentage of those in the second group who suffer a second episode?
Select the [Alternative Hypothesis, Value of the Test Statistic].
a)
[p1 = p2 , 0.1928]
b)
[p1 ¡Ù p2 , 0.1928]
c)
[p1 ¡Ù p2 , 0.2928]
d)
[p1 < p2 , 0.1928]
e)
[p1 > p2 , 0.1928]
f)
None of the above
Question 8
It has been observed that some persons who suffer renal failure, again suffer renal failure within one year of
the first episode. This is due, in part, to damage from the first episode. The performance of a new drug
designed to prevent a second episode is to be tested for its effectiveness in preventing a second episode. In
order to do this two groups of people suffering a first episode are selected. There are 31 people in the first
group and this group will be administered the new drug. There are 45 people in the second group and this
group will be administered a placebo. After one year, 11% of the first group has a second episode and 9% of
the second group has a second episode. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine, at the significance level 0.1,
whether there is reason to believe that the true percentage of those in the first group who suffer a second
episode is more than the true percentage of those in the second group who suffer a second episode? Select
the [Rejection Region, Decision to Reject (RH0) or Failure to Reject (FRH0)].
a)
[z > 1.28, FRH0]
b)
[z > -1.28 and z < 1.28, RH0]
c)
[z < -1.28 and z > 1.28, FRH0]
d)
[z < -1.28, FRH0]
e)
[z < -1.28 or z > 1.28, RH0]
f)
None of the above
Question 9
A private and a public university are located in the same city. For the private university, 1048 alumni were
surveyed and 647 said that they attended at least one class reunion. For the public university, 797 out of 1319
sampled alumni claimed they have attended at least one class reunion. Is the difference in the sample
proportions statistically significant? (Use ¦Á=0.05)

Reject the null hypothesis which states there is no difference in the proportion of alumni that attended
a)
at least one class reunion in favor of the alternate which states there is a difference in the proportions.
Fail to reject the null hypothesis. There is not enough evidence to conclude that there is a difference in
b)
the proportions.
c)
There is not enough information to make a conclusion.
