A biology student wants to detemine if using a fertilizer would help promote growth of new babies in spider plants. The student has access to 90 spider plants of three varieties: green, variegated, and curly. They all are potted in the same amount and type of soil, given the same amount of water, and exposed to the same amount of light. After one year, the shoots will be counted for each plant. Which of the following describes a random block design for this experiment? The plants are numbered 01–90. Using a line from a random number table, the first 45 two-digit numbers, ignoring repeats and the numbers 91-99 and 00, represent the plants that will receive fertilizer. The remaining 45 plants will not receive fertilizer.

Two different blood pressure medicines are being compared to determine if the average reduction in blood pressure is the same for each medication. The goal of the study is to determine if the medications differ. Twenty men age 50-60 years old are selected for the study. Ten men are chosen at random to receive the first medication and the other 10 men receive the second medication. Each of the 20 men is monitored for one month to determine the change in blood pressure over that time. Minitab provides the 95% confidence interval for (mu1 - mu2) (2.63, 14.18) a. Interpret this 95% CI. b. What assumptions (be specific) are necessary to construct this CI?
Suppose a study investigated the effects of exercise and daily stretching to see how blood pressure was affected. 240 women volunteered to take part in the study. In the study, participants were randomly assigned to one of 3 different exercises plans (Plan A, Plan B, or Plan C) and they were randomly assigned to one of 2 different stretching plans (Plan 1 or Plan 2). a. Identify the subjects. b. Identify the factor(s) and number of level(s) for each. How many treatment groups are there?
rch A computer manufacturer is interested in comparing assembly times for two keyboard assembly processes. Assembly times can vary considerably from worker to worker, and the company decides to eliminate this effect by selecting 12 workers at random and timing each worker on each assembly process. Half of the workers are chosen at random to use Process 1 first, and the rest use Process 2 first. For each worker and each process, the assembly time (in minutes) is recorded, as shown in the table below.

A computer manufacturer is interested in comparing assembly times for two keyboard assembly processes. Assembly times can vary considerably from worker to worker, and the company decides to eliminate this effect by selecting 8 workers at random and timing each worker on each assembly process. Half of the workers are chosen at random to use Process 1 first, and the rest use Process 2 first. For each worker and each process, the assembly time (in minutes) is recorded, as shown in the table below.

Basketball players can take shots worth 3 points, 2 points, or 1 point. A scout is assessing two players- Tabitha and Lauren-who play for different teams in different leagues. The scout wonders if they have similar or different shot selections. They take a random sample of Tabitha's games and a separate random sample of Lauren's games. They tally how many of each type of shot the players attempted in those games. Here is a summary and the results of a chi-square test: Chi-square test: Shot vs. player Tabitha Lauren 3-point 8 12 Expected 10.34 9.66 2-point 40 37 Expected 39.83 37.17 1-point 12 Expected 9.83 9.17 x² = 2.097, DF = 2, P-value = 0.350 %3D 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? Choose 1 answer: This is convincing evidence that the distribution of shot type differs between Tabitha and Lauren.
A dairy farmer thinks that the average weight gain of his cows depends on two factors: the type of grain that they are fed and the type of grass that they are fed. The dairy farmer has four different types of grain from which to choose and three different types of grass from which to choose. He would like to determine if there is a particular combination of grain and grass that would lead to the greatest weight gain on average for his cows. He randomly selects three one-year-old cows and assigns them to each of the possible combinations of grain and grass. After one year he records the weight gain for each cow (in pounds) with the following results. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that there is a significant difference in the average weight gains among the cows for the different types of grain?

250 adults are practicing every day before taking part in a high-stakes children's game. The game requires them carefully to remove a shape- either a star or an umbrella-from a sugar wafer. 30% of those who choose stars on a given day will switch to umbrellas the next day, and 20% of those who choose umbrellas on a given day will switch to stars the next day. (a) If 150 contestants practice with stars today, how many will practice with umbrellas tomorrow? (b) If the actual game is held a long time from now, what proportion of contestants do we expect will be practicing with stars each day close to then?
A manufacturing plant makes computer chips 24 hours a day. Employees work one of three, 8 hour shifts during the morning (2am-10am), day (10am-6pm), and night (6pm-2am). Below are data on the number of defective chips on a randomly chosen 24 hour period. Shift Morning Day Night Number of Defective Chips 23 26 47 Total Chips Manufactured 330 330 330 The plant manager thinks there might be more defective computer chips manufactured during the night shift compared to the day shift. Give appropriate statistical evidence to test the managers' claim.
Many golfers wear wrist bracelets containing magnets because they claim the magnets improve balance and the length of shots played off the tee. A golfer would like to determine if the claim has merit and finds 200 volunteers who play golf to participate in an experiment. Half of the golfers are randomly assigned to wear a bracelet with magnets, while the other half wear a bracelet without magnets. Each golfer plays normally for a month, after which the length of their shots in a subsequent round is recorded. What is the response variable in this experiment? the age of each golfer the 200 volunteers the length of shots played by the golfers whether the golfers wear or do not wear the bracelet
SWIMMER’S FLEXIBILITY STUDY Swimming requires complete body movement as defined in sports science. A swimmer’s flexibility helps in his/her movement in water, thus making him/her a faster swimmer. In a study conducted to determine if there is an improvement in swim speed after doing flexibility exercise, 15 swimmers of the same characteristics were randomly selected. They were asked to do a 25-m freestyle and their swim speed (in seconds) were recorded. After this, a flexibility exercise was done. All the swimmers were then asked to do another 25-m freestyle and their swim speed (in seconds) were also recorded. The data collected are given below and can also be found in the worksheet “swim_speed”of excel file “exer3_data.xlsx”. R outputs can be found in the file “exer3_outputs.pdf”.(Use before – after in your computations Swimmer 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Before 16.87 19.42 20.04 22.82 24.24 17.76 23.91 17.17 After 15.82 18.47 20.43 21.76 23.88 18.12 20.96 16.03 Swimmer 9 10 11 12…
1. For her botany class project, Jennifer wonders if there is a connection between the average weight of watermelons a vine produces and the root depth of the vine. Jennifer suspects that vines with deeper roots have a better water supply and produce larger melons. From a large watermelon field, 10 vines are chosen at random. At the end of 8 weeks, the watermelons are removed from each vine and the average weight of the watermelons from each vine is determined. Each plant is carefully dug up and its root depth (or length) is measure. Let x represent the root depth (to the nearest inch) and y be the mean weight of the watermelons on the vine (in pounds). Suppose that x = 17, s, = 6, y = 12, s, = 5.1, and r = = 0.93. a. Find the equation of the least squares regression line (round a and b to the nearest tenth). b.
