 Suppose that you are interested in examining if it is true that on average men earn more than $30.00 a day more than women in a certain entry level positions in some technical fields.  If sample data show that 80 men earned on average  $353.78 a day with a standard deviation of $18.03, while 80 women earned on average $315.14 a day with a standard deviation of $21.22 per a standard deviation of $21.33, conduct a hypothesis test at the .01 level of significance. 

  The level of calcium in healthy young adults varies with a mean about 9.5 and a standard deviation of .4. A clinic in a rural area measured the blood calcium level of a random sample of 180 healthy pregnant woman at their first visit for prenatal care.  The mean was 9.57. Is this an indication that the mean calcium level in the population from which the women visiting the clinic come differs from 9.5?  Set alpha at .05.  

What is the effect on the margin of error and therefore on the accuracy of estimating a population mean by a sample mean if you increase the sample size while keeping the same confidence level?

    A random sample of 16 is selected from a normal population; mean =56 and s =12 on a selected variable.  If you are testing the null hypothesis  that the population mean = 50, what is the value of t?    

Use the attached SPSS output to answer the following questions. A researcher was interested in the differences in grades (GPA) of students who lived on campus and those who did not.   GPA 1= Residents  GPA 2= Non-Residents Do the data provide support for population differences in GPAs between the two groups? Assume α is .05.                     What statistics did you use to draw your conclusion?                     How is t constructed from other statistics on the output?    

 When using inferential statistics the population is defined by the researcher.
