22. We want to examine the effects of fatigue on mental alertness. Two groups of participants monitored a blank TV screen for 90 minutes and were required to respond each time a dot appeared on the screen. One group was well-rested and the other group had been kept awake for 24 hours prior to the test. The five participants who had been kept awake for 24 hours made an average of M = 35 errors with SS = 120 and the 10 participants in the well-rested group made an average or M = 24 errors with SS = 270. a. Do we have a significant difference in the number of errors made? Test at the a = .05 level of significance.

Fish of Lake Laengelmaevesi. An article by J. Puranen of the Department of Statistics, University of Helsinki, discussed a classic study on several variables of seven different species of fish caught in Lake Laengelmaevesi, Finland. On theWeissStats site, we present the data on weight (in grams) and length (in centimeters) from the nose to the beginning of the tail for four of the seven species. Perform the required parts for both the weight and length data. a. Obtain individual normal probability plots and the standard deviations of the samples. b. Perform a residual analysis. c. Use your results from parts (a) and (b) to decide whether conducting a one-way ANOVA test on the data is reasonable. If so, also do parts (d) and (e). d. Use a one-way ANOVA test to decide, at the 5% significance level, whether the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that a difference exists among the means of the populations from which the samples were taken. e. Interpret your results from part (d)
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries occur most frequently in planting and cutting sports such as basketball, soccer, and volleyball. National collegiate athletic association injury data show that female athletes injure the ACL more frequently than their male counterparts do. A sports medicine professor wants to test this claim. He surveyed 5 universities that had both men's and woman's basketball, soccer, and volleyball and asked them how many grade 3 ACL tears they had during the past 5 seasons. Using the following results, are women at greater risk than men for ACL injuries? (use a standard deviation of 0.01, one tail test). Women- 4,3, 5, 2,4 Men- 2, 0, 1 ,2, 1 What is the difference between a repeated measure study and a matched pairs study?
You are a medical researcher that wants to determine if your new drug can lower people's blood pressure. You recruit 60 participants with high blood pressure to be part of your study. You randomly assign participants to one of three groups to receive either 10 mg of your drug, 5 mg, or 0 mg (given as a placebo control). After 2 weeks, participants' blood pressure is measured and you compare among the 3 groups. Which statistical test would be best to determine if there is a significant difference in blood pressure among the three groups?
There are many ways to measure the reading ability of children. Research designed toimprove reading performance is dependent on good measures of the outcome. Onefrequently used test is the DRP, or Degree of Reading Power. A researcher suspects that themean score µ of all third- graders in Henrico County Schools is different from the nationalmean, which is 32. To test her suspicion, she administers the DRP to an SRS of 44 HenricoCounty third-grade students. The distribution of scores is summarized in the Minitab outputbelow: MEAN STDEV SEMEAN MIN Q1 MEDIAN Q3MAXDRP 35.09 11.19 1.69 14.00 26.00 35.00 44.0054.00 Construct a 90% confidence interval to estimate the mean DRP score in Henrico CountySchools.
Already did the questions that I understood but I need help with question b and question C. Thanks so much!
Suppose that Kim is a participant in a study that compares several coaching methods to see how they affect math Scholar Aptitude Test (SAT) scores. The grand mean of math SAT scores for all participants (My) in the study is 550. The group that Kim participated in had a mean math SAT score of 565. Kim’s individual score on the math SAT was 610. What was the estimate residual component (of Kim’s score, that is, the part of Kim’s score that was not related to the coaching method? (Both parts of this question call for specific numerical values as answers). What was that “effect” (ai) component of Kim's score? What pattern in grouped data would make SSwithin = 0? What pattern within data would make SSbetween = 0?
Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive, irreversible disorder, and at this time the cause and cureare unknown. However, researchers at the University of Minnesota developed a brief, efficientand accurate means of predicting Alzheimer’s is persons from 65 to 85 years of age. The testtakes about 10 minutes and requires the patient to try to recall 10 words after using each wordtwice in sentences. According to the researchers, the test results are accurate 95% of the time.If the test is administered to a random sample of 25 persons from 65 to 85 years of age, what isthe probability that the test results are inaccurate for more than 12% of those persons sampled.Show your work and give your answer in the form of a sentence

z stat please A survey of 1000 adults from a certain region asked, "If purchasing a used car made certain upgrades or features more affordable, what would be your preferred luxury upgrade?" The results indicated that 58% of the females and 51% of the males answered window tinting. The sample sizes of males and females were not provided. Suppose that of 600 females, 348 reported window tinting as their preferred luxury upgrade of choice, while of 400 males, 204 reported window tinting as their preferred luxury upgrade of choice. Complete parts (a) through (d) below. a. Is there evidence of a difference between males and females in the proportion who said they prefer window tinting as a luxury upgrade at the 0.05 level of significance? State the null and alternative hypotheses, where π1 is the population proportion of females who said they prefer window tinting as a luxury upgrade and π2 is the population proportion of males who said they prefer window tinting…
A health officer thinks that there is an association between diabetes (DM) and hypertension (HPT). He believes that those with DM are more likely to have HPT as well. For his research, from the hospital records, he selected a random sample of 400 patients, 300 with DM and 100 without DM. Out of the 300 DM patients, 60 had HPT as well and out of the 100 non DM patients 10 had HPT. He also recorded the patients’ gender. With the data, he performed two analyses, one for all policyholders and the other by gender. The following are some of the output from SPSS. Must the manager consider gender as well in this case? If yes, stating the evidence, explain why. If you are the health officer, how would the results above help you in making decision? What other variables, if any, should be considered as well?
