1. In a public health study on the effects of consumption of fruits an well-being in young adults, participants were randomly assigned to three groups: (i) in one group, participants ate their usual diet, * (ii) in a second group, participants received text message reminders to increase fruit and vegetable consumption plus a voucher to purchase fruits and vegetables, (iii) and in a third group, participants were given two additional daily servings of fresh fruits and vegetables to consume on top of their normal diet. Participants, who were student volunteers at the University of Otago, New Zealand, were asked to ake a nightly survey on their smartphones. Four of the questions "Did you feel full of life?", "Did you ave a lot of energy?" "Did you feel worn out?", and "Did you feel tired" were meant to assess the articipant's vitality, and the participant's responses to these four questions were converted to a score etween 0 and 100 measuring the participant's vitality. At the end of the 14-day study, only participants group (iii) showed improvements in their vitality score across the 14 days.

Online clothes An online clothing retailer keeps trackof its customers’ purchases. For those customers who signed up for the company’s credit card, the com-pany also has information on the customer’s Age and Income. A random sample of 500 of these customers shows the following scatterplot of Total Yearly Pur-chases by Age:The correlation between Total Yearly Purchases and Age isr = 0.037. Summary statistics for the two variables are: a) What is the linear regression equation for predictingTotal Yearly Purchase from Age?b) Do the assumptions and conditions for regressionappear to be met?c) What is the predicted average Total Yearly Purchasefor an 18-year-old? For a 50-year-old? d) What percent of the variability in Total Yearly Pur-chases is accounted for by this model? e) Do you think the regression might be a useful one forthe company? Explain.
Standardized test scores For his Statistics class experi-ment, researcher J. Gilbert decided to study how parents’ income affects children’s performance on standardizedtests like the SAT. He proposed to collect informationfrom a random sample of test takers and examine therelationship between parental income and SAT score.a) Is this an experiment? If not, what kind of study is it?b) If there is relationship between parental incomeand SAT score, why can’t we conclude that differencesin score are caused by differences in parentalincome?

The personality characteristics of business leaders (e.g., CEOS) are related to the operations of the businesses that they lead (Oreg & Berson, 2018). Traits like openness to experience are related to positive financial outcomes and other traits are related to negative financial outcomes for their businesses. Suppose that a board of directors is interested in evaluating the personality of their leadership. Among a sample of n = 16 managers, the sample mean of the openness to experiences dimension of personality was M = 4.50. Assuming that u = 4.24 and o = 1.05 (Cobb-Clark & Schurer, 2012), use a two-tailed hypothesis test with a = .05 to test the hypothesis that this company's business leaders' openness to experience is different from the population.
