500 randomly selected university students were selected for a study on smoking status and stress levels. At the time of the study, students were asked to rate their stress levels on a scale of 0 - 100 with O indicating no stress. Students were also asked to disclose whether they were a non-smoker, a light smoker, or a heavy smoker. Of the 500 students, 75 identified themselves as heavy smokers, 150 identified themselves as light smokers, and 275 identified themselves as non-smokers. The average stress level reported for heavy smokers was 60.4. The average stress level reported for light smokers was 45.7. The average stress level reported by non-smokers was 56.6. Based on these results, which of the following statements is true? On average, heavy smokers have stress values of 3.8 times the stress levels of non-smokers On average, heavy smokers have stress values of 3.8 less than non-smokers On average, heavy smokers have stress values of 3.8 times less than the stress levels of non-smokers On average, heavy smokers have stress values of 3.8 greater than non-smokers

Job Satisfaction. A study reported in the Journal of Small Business Management concluded that selfemployed individuals do not experience higher job satisfaction than individuals who are not selfemployed. In this study, job satisfaction is measured using 18 items, each of which is rated using a Likerttype scale with 1–5 response options ranging from strong agreement to strong disagreement. A higher score on this scale indicates a higher degree of job satisfaction. The sum of the ratings for the 18 items, ranging from 18 to 90, is used as the measure of job satisfaction. Suppose that this approach was used to measure the job satisfaction for lawyers, physical therapists, cabinetmakers, and systems analysts. The results obtained for a sample of 10 individuals from each profession follow. SatisJob Lawyer Physical Therapist Cabinetmaker Systems Analyst 44 55 54 44 42…
Do people feel hungrier after sampling a healthy snack? Researchers randomly assign volunteers into one of three groups. The people in the first group were asked to taste a snack that was billed as a new health bar containing high levels of protein, vitamins, and fiber. The people in the second group were asked to taste the same snack but there told it was a tasty chocolate bar with a raspberry center. After tasting the snack, participants were asked to rate their hunger on a scale from 1 (not at all hungy) to 7 (very hungry). The people in the third group were asked to rate their hunger but were not given a snack. Healthy Tasty No Snack 8 3 3 7 1 3 7 3 5 4 2 6 5 6 5 a. Perform a complete one-way ANOVA hypothesis test.

Bank of America’s Consumer Spending Survey collected data on annual credit card charges in seven different categories of expenditures: transportation, groceries, dining out, household expenses, home furnishings, apparel, and entertainment. Using data from a sample of 42 credit card accounts, assume that each account was used to identify the annual credit card charges for groceries (population 1) and the annual credit card charges for dining out (population 2). Using the difference data, the sample mean difference was d= $850, and the sample standard deviation was sd= $1123.a. Formulate the null and alternative hypotheses to test for no difference between the population mean credit card charges for groceries and the population mean credit card charges for dining out.b. Use a .05 level of significance. Can you conclude that the population means dif-fer? What is the p-value?c. Which category, groceries or dining out, has a higher population mean annual credit card charge? What is the…

Sierra College students enrolled in an online Elementary Statistics course were asked to participate in an anonymous onlne survey. The survey asked the students "Which type of device will you primarily use to access your online course in Canvas?". Of the 152 students who answered this question, 20 responded "a desktop computer", 121 responded "a laptop computer", 6 responded "a smartphone", and 5 responded "a tablet". The Sierra College Mathematics Department believes that less than 5% of students enrolled in an online Elementary Statistics course primarily uses a smartphone to access their online course in Canvas. Use the data collected in the survey to conduct a hypothesis testing procedure to test this belief. What conclusion should be reached according to the results of this hypothesis test?

Researchers studied a group of 30 “self-designated worriers” (i.e. individuals who reported spending at least 10% of the day worrying) and who were over the age of 70 (mean age of 78.1). The researcher randomly assigned the worriers into three groups. For the next four weeks, each group would experience a different approach to handling worry. One group engaged in a worry-focus discussion group. The second group members enjoyed individual therapy. The third group went for daily walks in the park. Data was collected, analyzed, and interpreted. Write a valid one sentence hypothesis statement using proper form of the above research design.
