A community health center tracks the number of flu-related visits during each month to see whether there is a 'flu season' at a particular time of year. They also want to test whether this pattern is the same for people in cold-winter states (ex. WI, MN) compared to people in warm-winter states (ex. CA, FL, AZ). O chi-square for independence O multiple regression Otwo-way independent-measures ANOVA O point-biserial correlation

What is an experiment?
A researcher would like to evaluate the claim that drinking large quantities of water can help prevent the common cold. One group of participants drinks 8 glasses of water every day, and a second group drinks 2 glasses of water every day. The researcher records the number of colds each individual experiences during the 4-month winter season. what is the independent variable? what research method is being used experimental or correlational?
What are the requirements for an experiment to be able to show that changes in one variable cause changes in another?
Researcher asked waitresses to wear different colored T-shirts on different days for a six-week period and recorded the tips left by male customers. The results show that male customers gave significantly bigger tips to waitresses when there were wearing red. For this study, identify the independent and dependent variable (two answers)?

The ratio is called the "Weber fraction," so a concise statement of Weber's law is that "the Weber fraction is constant, regardless of the stimulus intensity." It turns out that Weber's law is not so much a law as it is a rule of thumb, since it is violated in many situations. For instance, for some auditory stimuli, the Weber fraction does depend systematically on the stimulus intensity. The following bivariate data are the experimental data obtained for one listener in an auditory intensity discrimination task. For each of the ten stimulus intensities x (in…
A sleep researcher wants to determine whether a new pillow might reduce snoring amongst patients with this type of sleep apnea. Participants are randomly assigned to use the new pillow or a control condition (regular pillow). Their sleep behavior is recorded on audiotape with time snoring. The findings indicate significantly less snoring takes place with the new pillow. Identify the independent variable (and categories) and the dependent variable. Explain a Type I error in terms of this study. Explain a Type II error in terms of this study.

A 2012 suvey conducted by Idea Works provided data showing the percentage of seats avail- able when customers try to redeem points or miles for free travel. For each airline listed, the column labeled 2011 Percentage shows the percentage of seats available in 2011 and the column labeled 2012 shows the correponding percentage in 2012 (The Wall street Journal, May 17, 2012). Develop a scatter diagram with 2011 Percentage as the independent variable. What does the scatter diagram developed in part (a) indicate about the relationship between the two variables? Develop the estimated regression equation. Test for a significant relationship. Use α = 0.05. Did the estimated regression equation provide a good fit?
Identify the type of table that is used to group bivariate data.
