A geologist weighs a rock several times on a sensitive scale. Each time, the scale gives a slightly different reading. Under what conditions can these readings be thought of as a simple random sample? What is the population? Identify each of the following as a variable or a constant. Explain the reasons for your choice a) The number of hours in a day. b) People's attitudes toward abortion. c) The value of a number divided by itself.

INSTRUCTION: Perform an appropriate statistical test using the dataset (Sheet name: Autism) if a researcher would like to determine if there is a significant difference between "Autistic," "Normal," and "Mentally Retarded"? The researcher took measurements of the serum concentration of an antigen in three groups of children (Autistic, Normal, and Mentally Retarded). Dataset for this can be retrieved on the given Excel. 1. What is the computed p-value for the given data on "Autism"? Round it off to two decimal places. Then, answer (YES or NO) if there is a significant difference in the serum concentration of antigen between "Autistic," "Normal," and "Mentally Retarded"? 2. What is the computed Mean of "Mentally Retarded" on the given data for Autism? Round it off to two decimal places. 3. What is the computed Standard Deviation of the "Autistic" group on the given data for Autism? Round it off to two decimal places.
