1. I am interested in determining if my revolutionary strength training program is effective. I randomly select 20 students from my SCM 200 class. I randomly place 10 into a control group (conventional strength training program) and 10 into the experimental group (the revolutionary accelerated hypertrophy/strength program). I measure them before and after the program on their 1R.M for bench press and want to determine if the change in lbs is significantly greater in the experimental group compared to the control group. Results were found to be 10lbs (mean change) for the control and 20lbs (mean change) for the experimental. Standard deviations for the control and experimental were found to be 3.5 and 2.5 respectively. Can I make the claim that my program appears to be effective at increasing strength?

A medical student at a community college in city Q wants to study the factors affecting the systolic blood pressure of a person (Y). Generally, the systolic blood pressure depends on the BMI of a person (B) and the age of the person A. She wants to test whether or not the BMI has a significant effect on the systolic blood pressure, keeping the age of the person constant. For her study, she collects a random sample of 150 patients from the city and estimates the following regression function: Y= 15.50 +0.90B + 1.10A. (0.48) (0.35) The test statistic of the study the student wants to conduct (Ho: B, =0 vs. H4: B, #0), keeping other variables constant is. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) At the 5% significance level, the student will v the null hypothesis. Keeping BMI constant, she now wants test whether the age of a person (A) has no significant effect or a positive effect on the person's systolic blood pressure. So, the test statistic associated with the one-sided test the…
A researcher wishes to try three different techniques to lower the blood pressure of individuals diagnosed with high blood pressure. The subjects are randomly assigned to three groups; the first group takes medication, the second group exercises, and the third group follows a special diet. After four weeks, the reduction in each person’s blood pressure is recorded. At 0.05, test the claim that there is no difference among the means. The data are shown.

A manufacturer of carpet wanted to reduce the number of flaws per square yard of carpet. Data gathered from quality control measures indicated that Brand A typically had 2.5 flaws per square yard. A mechanical engineer for the company developed a modification of the current process that she thought might reduce the number of flaws. To determine if this was true, one of the machines in the plant was modified according to her specifications. A sample of 30 square yards of carpet was analyzed for flaws. The sample yielded a mean of 2.2 flaws per square yard. Assume the standard deviation of the measurements is 0.66. Find the p-value of the test. A) 0.62 B) 0.0124 C)0.9938 D) 0.0062

Brink studied the effect of postural change on cardiovascular reactivity for a sample of healthy white and African American men and women. Change in systolic blood pressure (SBP) from supine to standing position was used as the measure of cardiac reactivity in a sample of 842 adults. Supine measurement of blood pressure was taken after participants had lain on an examination table for 15 minutes. Blood pressure was measured five times every 2 minutes using a preset automated blood pressure monitor, and the five measurements were averaged. Participants then stood up, and an additional five measurements were made over another 10-minute period and then averaged. Below is a table describing the characteristics of Brink’s sample. Characteristics of the Study Sample (N = 842) Sample Characteristic Frequency (N) Percentage or Mean (SD) Range Gender Female Male 408 434 48.5% 51.5% Age (years) 842 55.1 (5.3) 44–67 Race/ethnicity White, not Hispanic…
What proportions of males and females wear a facemask while in a large parking lot? There is some evidence that the proportion of females wearing facemasks, pf , is different from the proportion of males wearing face masks, pm . We are going to examine this question by randomly selecting n=900 males and m=800 females walking in parking lots and observing how many of the selected people are wearing masks. Let XM equal the number of males in our sample who wear masks. Let XF equal the number of females in our sample who wear masks. Suppose XM = 494 and XF = 494. Let pmhat be the sample proportion of males in our sample who wear masks. Let pfhat be the sample proportion of females in our sample who wear masks. Let pm be the (unknown) true proportion of males who wear masks in large parking lots. Let pf be the (unknown) true proportion of females who wear masks in large parking lots.a)Calculate an unbiased point estimate of pm . b) We wish to construct a 90 % classical confidence…
A traffic office in a country was in charge of a study where the safety of passengers in different types of cars was examined. Three models were examined; small cars, minivans and SUVS and six cars in each category were inspected. A special traffic accident simulator was used in the study and the pressure on the drivers' heads was measured. Umferðarastofa wanted to investigate whether there was a difference in the average pressure on the head during a collision in these three types of cars and used a variance analysis for this purpose.

To illustrate the effects of driving under the influence (DUI) of alcohol, a police officer brought a DUI simulator to a local high school. Student reaction time in an emergency was measured with unimpaired vision and also while wearing a pair of special goggles to simulate the effects of alcohol on vision. For a random sample of nine teenagers, the time (in seconds) required to bring the vehicle to a stop from a speed of 60 miles per hour was recorded. Complete parts (a) and (b). Note: A normal probability plot and boxplot of the data indicate that the differences are approximately normally distributed with no outliers. Click the icon to view the data table. (a) Whether the student had unimpaired vision or wore goggles first was randomly selected. Why is this a good idea in designing the experiment? A. This is a good idea in designing the experiment because reaction times are different. B. This is a good idea in designing the experiment because it controls for any "learning" that may…
