A study was conducted to measure the effectiveness of hypnotism in reducing pain. The measurements are centimeters on a pain scale before and after hypnosis. Assume that the paired sample data are simple random samples and that the differences have a distribution that is approximately normal. Construct a \( 95 \% \) confidence interval for the mean of the "before - after" differences. Does hypnotism appear to be effective in reducing pain? Before After Construct a \( 95 \% \) confidence interval for the mean of the "before - after" differences. (Round to two decimal places as needed.)

You wish to test the following claim \( \left(H_{a}\right) \) at a significance level of \( \alpha=0.05 \) \[ \begin{array}{l}H_{o}: \mu=72.3 \\ H_{a}: \mu \neq 72.3\end{array} \] You believe the population is normally distributed, but you do not know the standard deviation. You obta a sample of size \( n=5 \) with mean \( M=78.2 \) and a standard deviation of \( S D=18.8 \). What is the p-value for this sample? (Report answer accurate to four decimal places.) -value \( =\square \)

You wish to test the following claim \( \left(H_{a}\right) \) at a significance level of \( \alpha=0.10 \). \[ \begin{array}{l}H_{o}: \mu=51.7 \\ H_{a}: \mu<51.7\end{array} \] You believe the population is normally distributed, but you do not know the standard deviation. You obt: a sample of size \( n=23 \) with mean \( M=45.5 \) and a standard deviation of \( S D=14.1 \). What is the p -value for this sample? (Report answer accurate to four decimal places.) p -value \( =\square \)

\( n-1=35-1=34 \) \( p \)-value \( <0.01 \) - Step 6: Make a decision to reject or not reject the null hypothesis. Write in non-techni terms a final conclusion about the claim. 'd reject the nurl nypo thesis

5 The mean age for first 13 voters at Zwide Voting Station, is 40 and the standard deviation is 5. Comment by refering to the standard deviations on how the ages at Zwide Station compare to those at Dingiswayo Station.

SAT scores are normally distributed with a mean of 1,500 and a standard deviation of 300 . An administrator at a college is interested in estimating the average SAT score of first-year students. If the administrator would like to limit the margin of error of the \( 96 \% \) confidence interval to 25 points, how many students should the administrator sample? Make sure to give a whole number answer.
