A group of 110 people, who lived at varying distances (in kilometers) from the 3 kilometer island nuclear power station, were asked if they thought a fll evacuation of the area was required, when it went critical. The researches wanted to know if the opinion to evacuate or not depended on how far from t reactor people lived. The people were divided into 5 categories, based on the distance to the power station. Each person was given 3 choices: evacuation was needed, evacuation was not needed, they did not care about it.

Three products were used in a hot summer to keep the pool chlorine level high. Each product was used in 6 pools, and there was a total of 18 pools in the experiment. The same amount of chlorine was added to each pool (A, B, or C) and the conditions such as pool size, temperature, sun exposure etc. were similar. The chlorine levels (%) were measured and recorded after 24 hours of using the products. The percentages in the table below are the percentage of the chlorine added to the pool remaining after this 24 hours. The data is as follows: A 96 56 52 66 70 60 B 44 36 34 50 40 48 с 723227 34 40 20 24 a) Find the overall mean of the chlorine level across all the pools measured, and then find the mean of the chlorine level for each product.
15 wheelchair users were randomly assigned to three groups with 5 in each group. These participants navigated in virtual-reality settings. Group 1 participants were in the virtual-reality setting (a building) as wheelchair users. Group 2 participants were in the virtual-reality setting in a wheelchair pushed by a walking person. Group 3 participants walked without aid in the virtual-reality setting. Joan measured the time each participant needed to complete the navigation of the virtual-reality setting. What is the independent variable(s)?
In 1940, 2,000 women working in a factory were recruited into a study. Half of the women worked in manufacturing and half in administrative offices. The incidence of bone cancer through 1970 among the 1,000 women working in manufacturing was compared with that of 1,000 women working in administrative offices. Thirty of the women in manufacturing developed bone cancer as compared to 9 of the women in administrative offices. Identify what type of study this is.

A school Psychologist is interested in the effect of violent television programs on a child's agression depending on if the show is a cartoon or not. Eighty children were recruited and were divided into equal groups. Half of the children watched a violent television program while the other half watched a non- violent program. Half of the children watched a cartoon while the other half watched a show that was not a cartoon. The children were then placed in a small group and the researcher measured the level of agressiveness of each child.

Some commercial airlines recirculate about half the air in the cabin during flights as a way to improve fuel efficiency. Other airlines make a policy of NOT recirculating the air and instead, have fresh air from the atmosphere constantly being inserted into the cabin with the “old” air being pumped out of the plane. A total of 1100 passengers flying from San Francisco to Denver were used for an experiment. After their flight, they were each given a list of symptoms associated with the common cold. They were asked to report if they experienced cold symptoms within 24 hours of the flight landing. Of the 517 passengers who flew on planes that recirculate the air, 108 reported post-flight cold symptoms. Of the 583 passengers who flew on airlines that do not use recirculation in the cabin, 110 reported symptoms. Suppose now that we want to use the recirculation of air data to explore “Goal #2”, which is to resolve a hypothesis test about . a) If we want to resolve this hypothesis…
A researcher working at Hershey's is interested in comparing two new chocolate bars: Chocolate Bar A versus Chocolate Bar B. The researcher expects the bars to be different in how much customers will eat per month. The researcher believes the more candy bars someone eats will indicate which one tastes the best. An experiment is designed to compare the two new bars. The number of candy bars eaten by one group of 8 people in a month is measured with Candy Bar A and then the number of candy bars eaten in the same month by another group of 8 participants is measured with Candy Bar B. Use the data below to determine if there is a difference in the consumption of the two candy bars. Candy Bar A Candy Bar B Number of Candy Bars eaten within a month 10, 30, 5, 35, 60, 3, 20, 30, 28, 27, 26, 27, 17, 25 12, 20 With a = .05, determine the critical value of t* that needs to be employed here.

We are interested in estimating the proportion of people that can identify Nebraska but not Vermont. In a class of 55 students, each student was requested to select a sample of 6 people, show each person a map of the US and ask the person to identify the states of Vermont and Nebraska. The following numbers are the counts that each student got, that is, each number is the count of people in the student sample of 6, that could identify Nebraska but not Vermont.3344010110020030002020001100002010000001000200000001010Note: You can cut and past these numbers into an excel spreadsheet to help you calculate the mean and the standard deviation and compute the confidence interval. If you have trouble pasting them, paste them to a text file first and then copy from there.When we collect all the students' data, we have a sample size of 6x55=330.Of the sample of 330 people, what proportion were able to locate Nebraska but not Vermont?

You are given thirteen identical- looking balls and a two-sided scale. One of the balls is of a different weight, although you don't know whether it's lighter or heavier. How can you use just three weighings of the scale to determine the different ball?
A consumer group wanted to determine if there was a difference in customer perceptions about prices for a specific type of toy depending on where the toy was purchased. In the local area there are three main retailers: W-Mart, Tag, and URToy. For each retailer, the consumer group randomly selected 5 customers, and asked them to rate how expensive they thought the toy was on a 1-to-10 scale (1= not expensive, to 10 = very expensive). The toy was priced the same at all retail stores. 1. What kind of statistical test should be used to test the consumer group's research goal, assuming that the researcher wanted to use the 1-to-10 scale as a numerical interval measure? A. Repeated-measures t-test B. One-way Independent Measures ANOVA C. Repeated-measures ANOVA D. Independent-measures t-test 2. State the hypothesis that aims to test the consumer group’s research goal (i.e., what is H0 and HA).
Elaine is interested in determining if men are more satisfied in their jobs than women in the healthcare industry. She administers a job satisfaction questionnaire to 20 men and 20 women working in hospital administration. Her grouping variable is gender and dependent variable is job satisfaction. The job satisfaction scale consists of 8 items measured using a 5-point rating scale. A higher score on this scale would indicate high job satisfaction. The maximum score that can be obtained on the scale is 40. We can assume that job satisfaction scores are normally distributed. Use the appropriate T test with a significance level of 0.05 to test the hypothesis. Research Question Do the mean job satisfaction scores differ for men and women working in the hospital administration department? Hypothesis The mean job satisfaction scores do not differ for men and women working in the hospital administration department. Compute an independent sample t test on these data. Report…
