A campus researcher wanted to investigate the factors that affect visitor travel time in a complex, multilevel building on campus. Specifically, he wanted to determine whether different building signs (building maps versus wall signage) affect the total amount of time visitors require to reach their destination and whether that time depends on whether the starting location is inside or outside the building. Three subjects were assigned to each of the combinations of signs and starting locations, and travel time in seconds from beginning to destination was recorded. How should the data be analyzed?

ou have chosen three breeds of chicken for your farm after studying their egg-laying capabilities. Of the total of 50 chickens, 10 will be White Leghorns, 30 will be Goldlines, and 10 will be Rhode Island Reds. The Goldlines and the Rhode Island Reds lay brown eggs, and the White Leghorns lay white eggs. You also have this data on the average number of eggs laid per year by each breed: White Leghorn: 300 eggs per year Goldline: 320 eggs per year Rhode Island Red: 220 eggs per year If you pick a chicken at random, what is the probability of picking a chicken of each breed? What is that chicken's average yearly egg yield? Breed Probabillity of a Chicken in the Flock Being this Breed Avg. Number of Eggs per Year Goldline Rhode Island Red White Leghorn
The source table depicts the results of a fictional study investigating whether the number of hours of sleep a person gets varies with his or her gender (male, female) and with the number of energy drinks that he or she consumes in a day. Equal numbers of men and women were randomly assigned to drink either 0, 1, or 2 energy drinks during the course of a day and then record the number of hours they slept that night.

Many animals, including humans, tend to avoid direct eye contact and even patterns that look like eyes. Some insects, including moths, have evolved eye-spot patterns on their wings to help ward off predators. Scaife (1976) reports a study examining how eye-spot patterns affect the behavior of birds. In the study, the birds were tested in a box with two chambers and were free to move from one chamber to another. In one chamber, two large eye-spots were painted on one wall. The other chamber had plain walls. The researcher recorded the amount of time each bird spent in the plain chamber during a 60-minute session. Suppose the study produced a mean of M = 37 minutes in the plain chamber with SS = 288 for a sample of n = 9 birds. (Note: If the eye-spots have no effect, then the birds should spend an average of μ = 30 minutes in each chamber.) Is this sample sufficient to conclude that the eyespots have a significant influence on the birds’ behavior? Use a two-tailed test with α = .05.…
You are analyzing salaries for your organization and you are trying to determine which variables are explaining differences in salaries. You are also wondering if there could possibly be any gender discrimination. The following data have been collected on every employee in this large department in the organization. The definitions of the variables are as follows: Salary: the employees’ bi weekly salary in dollars; Service: the number of months the employee has been employed by the organization; Age: age of the employee in years; Gender: whether the employee is male or female; Job; whether the job is technical (tech) or clerical (cler). The data appear below. Salary Service Age Gender Job 1769 93 42 male cler 1740 104 33 male cler 1941 104 42 male tech 2367 126 57 male tech 2467 98 30 male tech 1640 99 49 male tech 1756 94 35 male cler 1706 96 46 female…
A study was conducted to test the effect of product price and display level on supermarket sales. At one supermarket, the price level (regular, reduced price, and at cost to supermarket) and the display level (normal display space, normal display space plus end of aisle display, and twice the normal display space) were varied to determine if they had any effect on the weekly sales of a particular supermarket product. Each combination of price and display was recorded. Each combination was used three times over the course of the experiment. Identify the treatments used in this experiment. (A) The three price levels used by the supermarket (B) The three display levels used by the supermarket (C) The supermarket (D) The weekly sales for each of the weeks (E) The nine combinations of price and display levels used by the supermarket
Researchers were interested in studying the relationship between living location (Manhattan vs. other boroughs of NYC) and anxiety. Researchers decided to randomly select 50 residents from Manhattan and 40 residents from the other four boroughs. All were free from anxiety disorders at the start of the study. They then followed the participants for three years to determine how many in each group developed an anxiety disorder. Among residents of Manhattan, 18 out of 50 developed an anxiety disorder. Among residents of the other four boroughs, 12 out of 40 developed an anxiety disorder. Question : The risk of developing an anxiety disorder for those living in Manhattan was _______ times the risk of developing an anxiety disorder for those living in the other boroughs.
Is fishing better from a boat or from the shore? Pyramid Lake is located on the Paiute Indian Nation in Nevada. President, movie stars, and people who just want to catch fish go to Pyramid Lake for really large cutthroat trout. Let row B represent hours per fish caught fishing from the shore and let row A represent hours per fish caught using a boat. The following data re paired by month from October through April. Oct. Nov. Dec. Jan. Feb. Mar. Apr. B: Shore 1.6 1.8 2.0 3.2 3.9 3.6 3.3 A: Boat 1.5 1.4 1.6 2.2 3.3 3.0 3.8 Use a 1% level of significance to test if there is a difference in the population mean hours per fish caught using a boat compared with fishing from the shore.
The design of controls and instruments affects how easily people can use them. Timothy Sturm investigated this effect in a course project, asking 25 right‑handed students to turn a knob (with their right hands) that moved an indicator by screw action. There were two identical instruments: one with a right‑hand thread (the knob turns clockwise) and the other with a left‑hand thread (the knob turns counterclockwise). The table gives the times, in seconds, each subject took to move the indicator a fixed distance.

Healthy Sleep Duration. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) define a healthy sleep duration to be at least seven hours per day. The CDC reports that the percentage of people who report a healthy sleep duration varies by marital status. The CDC also reports that in 2018, 67% of those who are married report a healthy sleep duration; 62% of those who have never been married report a healthy sleep duration; and 56% of those who are divorced, widowed, or separated report a healthy sleep duration. The file SleepHabits contains sample data on the sleeping habits of people who have never been married that are consistent with the CDC’s findings. Use these data to answer the following questions. Develop a point estimate and a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of those who have never been married who report a healthy sleep duration. Develop a point estimate and a 95% confidence interval for the mean number of hours of sleep for those who have never been married. For…
