A hospital takes a random sample of patients and asks them to take part in a study on nutrition. They take a survey asking about foods they eat. Each of the food was scored on a scale from 1-5 (5 being a healthier food) and average scores obtained. A previous large scale study conducted at the hospital showed that such averages were normally distributed. That study found the mean healthy eating score for the population of patients to be u = 2.8. Now, one of the hospital nutritionists thinks patients might benefit from nutrition education. A new survey was given to 20 patients after they took the nutrition course and the sample statistics were: x (bar) = 3.3 and s = 1.2. %3D Calculate the appropriate test statistic for the hypotheses above. Use 2 decimal places of accuracy. Work sheet problem #1: Show your work for calculating this test statistic

A clinical psychologist is interested in the effect of a new treatment for treating depression. She randomly divides her clients into two groups. One group receives the new treatment and the other group receives the old treatment (control group). At the end of treatment, she assesses the severity of their depression on a scale ranging from 0 to 20 (higher scores indicate greater depression). Was there a significant difference in depression scores between the two treatments? New Treatment Old Treatment 2 7 5 10 3 6 8 8 11 4 4 8 6 10 4 4
In a 2014 study, Michael Smith arranged to be stung by bees repeatedly on 25 locations over 38 days to record the relative pain experienced by each sting in each body area. A scale pain ratings of 1-10 were used with stings to the forearm defined to be a 5. What is the population of this study?
The accompanying data were read from a plot (and are a subset of the complete data set) given in an article. The data represent the mean response times for a group of individuals with closed-head injury (CHI) and a matched control group without head injury on 10 different tasks. Each observation was based on a different study, and used different subjects, so it is reasonable to assume that the observations are independent.

An experiment was designed to study oil additives that could reduce polluting the air. Two additives were considered in the study. The two additives X1 and X2 were controlled and the level of the pollution Y is observed.

Suppose we are interested in comparing the proportion of male students who smoke to the proportion of female students who smoke. We have a random sample of 150 students (60 males and 90 females) that includes two variables: Smoke = "yes" or "no" and Gender = "female (F)" or "male (M)". The two-way table below summarizes the results. Smoke = Yes Smoke = No Sample Size 60 90 Gender = M Gender = F Reference: 3-15-No Tech 9 9 51 81 Describe how to use the data to construct a bootstrap distribution.

People tend to evaluate the quality of their lives to others around them. In a demonstration of this phenomenon, Frieswijk, Buunk, Steverink, and Slaets (2004) conducted interviews with frail elderly people. In the interview, each person was compared with fictitious others who were worse off. After the interviews, the elderly people reported more satisfaction with their own lives. Following are hypothetical data similar to those obtained in the research study. The scores are measures of a life-satisfaction scale for a sample of n=9 elderly people who completed the interview. Assume that the average score on this scale is u=20. What is your computed t? Use a one-tailed test with a=0.05. The life satisfaction scores are 18, 23, 24, 22, 19, 27, 23, 26, 25.

On occasion, medical studies need to model the proportion of the population that has a disease and compare that to observed frequencies of the disease actually occurring. Suppose the end-stage renal failure in south-west Wales was collected for different age groups. Do the data in the table show that the observed frequencies are in agreement with proportion of people in each age group? Test at the 1% level.

A college administrator wants to know if there is a significant difference between sexual orientation and level of family support for students at their college. The administrator takes a random sample of students who identify as gay/lesbian, bisexual or heterosexual/straight. There were 22 students sampled in each category. A measure of family support is given with higher scores indicating more family support. The means are as follows: Gay/lesbian Bisexual Heterosexual/Straight MG/L = 16 MBi = 17 MH/S = 22 Source SS df MS F Orientation 300 Error 2961 Total What is the value of df total?
