A study is conducted to estimate the association between exposure to lead paint in childhood and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Data on n = 400 children are collected, and data on exposure and ADHD diagnosis are shown in Table 9–26. Estimate the crude or unadjusted relative risk. Estimate the crude or unadjusted odds ratio.
In general, increasing the sample size (for example, from n = 4 to n = 50) will ---??Select??--- increase have no influence on decrease the risk of a Type I error. (Assume ? is held constant at .05.)
A geneticist was curious about the relationship between gender and dominant hand. They surveyed a random sample of 500 people. Here is a summary of the responses and the results from a chi-squared test: Chi-square test: Dominant hand vs. gender Men Women Right 207 227 Expected 208.32 225.68 Left 21 27 Expected 23.04 24.96 Ambidextrous 12 - Expected 8.64 9.36 X%3D2.876, DF 2, P-value 0.237 Assume that all conditions for inference were met. At the a = 0.05 significance level, what is the most appropriate conclusion to draw from this test? O This is convincing evidence that the distribution of dominant hand differs between the genders. O This isn't enough evidence to say that the distribution of dominant hand differs between the genders. O This is convincing evidence that dominant hand and gender are not independent. OThey lack evidence to say that dominant hand and gender are not independent. O Gender causes people to be more likely to be left- or right-handed.
Below indicate whether the appropriate test would be an independent t-test, dependent t-test, One-way ANOVA, or z-test. A researcher wants to know if people find baby animals cuter than adult animals. All of the participants in a study are shown 10 pictures of baby animals and 10 pictures of adult animals. They are asked to rate (on a 1 to 10 scale) how cute they think each animal is.
A sociologist is studying the age of the population in Blue Valley. Ten years ago, the population was such that 19% were under 20 years old, 14% were in the 20- to 35-year-old bracket, 33% were between 36 and 50, 23% were between 51 and 65, and 11% were over 65. A study done this year used a random sample of 210 residents. This sample is given below. At the 0.01 level of significance, has the age distribution of the population of Blue Valley changed?Under 20 20 - 35 36 - 50 51 - 65 Over 6529 27 67 65 22(i) Give the value of the level of significance.

(Round the expected frequencies to at least three decimal places. Round the test statistic to three decimal places.)
A researcher randomly assigns college freshmen to either of two experimental conditions. Because both groups consist of college freshmen, someone claims that it is appropriate to use a t test for the two related samples. Comments?
A farmer wants to know whether or not the sizes of Christmas trees differ between two separate fields on opposite sides of the farm (different elevation). In order to test this, he plants a number of trees in each field and measures them all after 2.5 years of growth. He then takes a random sample from each field and this is what he found: Group 1: Higher Elevation, N=25, Mean=3.3 ft, S=0.55 ft Group 2: Lower Elevation, N=23, Mean= 3.1, S=0.45 ft Please calculate the test statistic and pvalue. What can be concluded? Support your answer. Please calculate the 95% confidence interval Interpret the interval. What can be concluded? Support your answer.
A researchers is interested in the amount of sleep an individual receives after consuming a sleeping aid (Melatonin, Valerian root, and Placebo). The researcher randomly selects individuals into either group. However, some individuals drop out of the study which results in unequal sample sizes. Melatonin: n=6, M=14, T=84, SS=60 Valerian: n=10, M=13, T=130, SS=90 Placebo: n=4, M=9, T=36, SS=37 N=20, G=250, x2=3377 Calculate the F-ratio
