A professor from the University of Álabama is interested in determining whether or not people from different geographic parts of the country (Northeast, Midwest, South, and West) feel differently about the threat of Natural disasters. Therefore he gathers data from each geographic region. Which method should the researcher use to analyze the data? 1. T-test for independent samples 2. T-test for dependent samples 3. ANOVA 4. Correlation

A researcher is interested in exploring the relationship between calcium intake and weight loss. Two different groups, each with 26 dieters, are chosen for the study. Group A is required to follow a specific diet and exercise regimen, and also take a 500-mg supplement of calcium each day. Group B is required to follow the same diet and exercise regimen, but with no supplemental calcium. After six months on the program, the members of Group A had lost a mean of 15.6 pounds with a standard deviation of 1.2 pounds. The members of Group B had lost a mean of 10.3 pounds with a standard deviation of 1.9 pounds during the same time period. Assume that the population variances are not the same. Construct a 90% confidence interval to estimate the true difference between the mean amounts of weight lost by dieters who supplement with calcium and those who do not. Let Population 1 be the amount of weight lost by Group A, who took a 500-mg supplement of calcium each day, and let Population 2 be the…

6.50 How's it going?: The American National Election Studies (ANES) collects data on voter attitudes and intentions as well as demographic information. In this question we will focus on two variables from the ANES dataset (ANES, 2012). region (levels: Northeast, North Central, South, and West) whether the respondent feels things in this country are generally going in the right direction or things have pretty seriously gotten off on the wrong track To keep calculations simple we will work with a random sample of 500 respondents from the ANES dataset. The distribution of responses are as folows: Right Direction Wrong Track Total Northeast 29 54 83 North Central 44 77 121 South 62 131 193 West 36 67 103 Total 171 329 500 There are TWO parts to this question.

A report states that the cost of repairing a hybrid vehicle is falling even while typical repairs on conventional vehicles are getting more expensive. The most common hybrid repair, replacing the hybrid inverter assembly, had a mean repair cost of $3,927 in 2012. Industry experts suspect that the cost will continue to decrease given the increase in the number of technicians who have gained expertise in fixing gas-electric engines in recent months. Suppose a sample of 100 hybrid inverter assembly repairs completed in the last month was selected. The sample means repair cost was $3,750 with the sample standard deviation of $600. Find the test statistic for this hypothesis test. tStat=____ Is there sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis using α=0.05? A. Do not reject the null hypothesis. There is insufficient evidence at the 0.05 level of significance that the population mean cost is greater than $3,927. B. Do not reject the null hypothesis. There is…
1) Soda consumption is very common in the U.S. For the purposes of this question, assume that 30% of the population consumes the equivalent of 3 or more 12 oz. sodas per week (this is the prevalence of the exposure). A large multi-center cohort study was conducted to evaluate the association between soda consumption and risk of diabetes. At baseline, participants were asked about their typical soda consumption, and individuals who reported consuming 3 or more sodas per week were considered exposed. Participants were followed for 10 years, and the following results were obtained: Incident Cases of Diabetes 356 236 Person-Years Contributed 3+ sodas a week 375234 <3 sodas a week 399763 a) Name the appropriate measure of association corresponding to the excess rate of diabetes attributable to soda consumption among subjects who consume 3+ sodas per week. Calculate this measure (shown as a rate, using the correct units), and provide a brief interpretation of your answer b) Calculate the…
