3. During each of four experiments on the use of carbon tetrachloride as a worm killer, ten rats were infested with larvae (Armitage 1983). Eight days later, five rats were treated with carbon tetrachloride; the other five were kept as controls. After two more days, all the rats were killed and the number of worms were killed. The table below gives the counts of worms for the four control groups. Significant differences, although not expected, might be attributable to changes in experimental conditions. A finding of significant differences could result in more carefully controlled experimentation and thus greater precision in later work. Use both graphical techniques (e.g. boxplots) and the F test to test whether there are significant differences among the four groups.

Question 2 National Electronics Company buys parts from two subsidiaries. The quality control department at this company wanted to check if the distribution of good and defective parts is the same for the supplies of parts received from both subsidiaries. The quality control inspector selected a sample of 300 parts received frum Subsidiary A, sample of 400 parts received from Subsidiary B, and a sample of 450 parts received from Subsidiary C. These parts were checked for being good or defective. The following table records the results of this investigation. Subsidiary A 284 Subsidiary B 381 Subsidiary C 418 Good Defective 16 19 32 Using a 5% significance level, test the null hypothesis that the distributions of good and defective parts are the same for the three subsidiaries.
Phosphorous is a chemical that is found in many household cleaning products. Unfortunately, phosphorous also finds its way into surface water, where it can harm fish, plants, and other wildlife. Two methods of phosphorous reduction are being studied. At a random sample of 7 locations, both methods were used and the total phosphorous reduction (mg/L) was recorded. Note: For degrees of freedom d.f. not in the Student's t table, use the closest d.f. that is smaller. In some situations, this choice of d.f. may increase the P-value a small amount and thereby produce a slightly more "conservative" answer. Things that are labelled i underneath a b c, etc are all part of that part.
The following is based on information from The Wolf in the Southwest: The Making of an Endangered Species, by David E. Brown (University of Arizona Press). Before 1918, the proportion of female wolves in the general population of all southwestern wolves was about 50%. However, after 1918, southwestern cattle ranchers began a widespread effort to destroy wolves. In a recent sample of 37 wolves, there were only 11 females. One theory is that male wolves tend to return sooner than females to their old territories, where their predecessors were exterminated. Do these data indicate that the population proportion of female wolves is now less than 50% in the region? Use α = 0.01. (a) What is the level of significance?

Only the question 5 and 6 need to be resolved. Others have been reaolved already. Question: sample of 15, 10 years old children was taken to study whether watching television reduces the amount of physical exercise, causing weight gains. The number of kilograms each child was overweight by was recorded (a negative number indicates the child is underweight). In addition, the number of hours of television viewing per week was also recorded. These data are listed in the table below.

Read the following text that describes an analytical study and complete the table below it: This research investigated the association or the relationship between some factors, namely (1) type of cars, (2) age and (3) gender of the car drivers and car accidents. More specifically, the researcher wanted to find out if these three independent factors had an impact on car accidents. He hypothesized that "car accidents do not increase or decrease as a result of the age of the drivers, gender of the driver and type of car". The sample of this research consisted of 2000 car drivers of different gender, ages and types of cars. The researcher designed a questionnaire to collect the primary data required. The questionnaire was very short. It elicited some demographic data from the respondents such as their gender, their age, and the type of car they used. The questionnaire also elicited from the participants if they had had accidents, the number of accidents they had and at what age they had…

Healthy men aged 21–35 were randomly assigned to one of two groups: half received 0.82 gram of alcohol per kilogram of body weight; half received a placebo. Participants were then given 30 minutes to read up to 34 pages of Tolstoy’s War and Peace (beginning at Chapter 1, with each page containing approximately 22 lines of text). Every two to four minutes, participants were prompted to indicate whether they were “zoning out.” The proportion of times participants indicated they were zoning out was recorded for each subject. The following table summarizes data on the proportion of episodes of zoning out. Group n S Alcohol 25 0.25 0.05 Placebo 25 0.12 0.03 Calculate a 95% confidence interval for the mean difference between Alcohol and placebo groups.
