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. Write out your decision about the hypotheses (using your test statistic and the critical value you would compare it to) and provide a final conclusion in the context of the problem. Use a = 0.01.

For the population of college students, the number of hours spent studying per week is normally distributed with a = 4.40 and = 2.32 hours. We surveyed a random sample of students majoring in psychology about the number of hours they spent studying this past week. The data is as follows: 6, 8, 9, 4, 3, 11, 4, 6, 5, 7 What is the dependent variable? What is the level of measurement of the dependent variable? 3. Is there a significant increase in the number of hours spent studying for our sample compared to the population of college students? Perform a complete hypothesis test (z-test) using alpha = .01 level. SHOW ALL WORK
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. What value should be recorded for each of the bootstrap samples.
A researcher believes that there may be a negative association between the quantity of fertilizer used and the percentage of the population who live in rural areas in different countries. The data below shows the percentage of the population who live in rural areas and the fertilizer use measured in kg per hectare, for a random sample of 11 countries. 33%= 76kg, 6%=44kg, 58%= 6kg, 35%=68kg, 81%=3kg, 69%=10kg, 61%=7kg, 7%=176kg,74%=5kg, 71%=137kg, 17%=157kg Use the Spearman's rank order coefficient method to affirm or disagree with the researchers assumption.
Dr. Mackintosh believes a new olfactory therapy would be more successful in promoting weight loss among obese patients. His patients are first weighed and then randomly assigned to olfactory therapy, dance therapy, or a control condition. At the end of the three weeks, the amount of weight lost is recorded. The results indicate no significant difference in the amount of weight lost between the three conditions. Identify the independent variable along with each level and the dependent variable.
This obstetrician also wanted to determine the impact that three experimental diets had on the birth weights of pregnant mothers. She was also interested if age had an impact on birth weights. She randomly selected 27 pregnant mothers in the first trimester of whom 9 were 20 to 29 years old, 9 were 30 to 39 years old, and 9 were 40 or older. For each age group, she randomly assigned the mothers to one of three diets. After delivery, she measured the birth weight (in grams) of the babies and obtained the data a) What is the blocking variable?
The authors of a paper randomly selected two samples of patients admitted to the hospital after suffering a stroke. One sample was selected from patients who received biofeedback weight training for 8 weeks, and the other sample was selected from patients who did not receive this training. At the end of 8 weeks, the time it took (in seconds) to stand from a sitting position and then to sit down again (called sit-stand-sit time) was measured for the people in each sample. Data consistent with summary quantities given in the paper are given below. For purposes of this exercise, you can assume that the samples are representative of the population of stroke patients who receive the biofeedback training and the population of stroke patients who do not receive this training.

Businesses know that customers often respond to background music. Do they also respond to odors? One study of this question took place in a small pizza restaurant in France on two Saturday evenings in May. On one of these evenings, a relaxing lavender odor was spread through the restaurant. On the other evening no scent was used. The data gives the time, in minutes, that two samples of 30 customers spent in the restaurant and the amount they spent in euros. No odor Lavender Minutes Euros spent Minutes Euros spent 103103 15.915.9 9292 21.921.9 6868 18.518.5 126126 18.518.5 7979 15.915.9 114114 22.322.3 106106 18.518.5 106106 21.921.9 7272 18.518.5 8989 18.518.5 121121 21.921.9 137137 24.924.9 9292 15.915.9 9393 18.518.5 8484 15.915.9 7676 22.522.5 7272 15.915.9 9898 21.521.5 9292 15.915.9 108108 21.921.9 8585 15.915.9 124124 21.521.5 6969 18.518.5 105105 18.518.5 7373 18.518.5 129129 25.525.5 8787 18.518.5 103103 18.518.5 109109 20.520.5 107107…
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?

A test is being designed to compare the wearing quality of two brands of tires, say brand A and brand B. Six automobiles will be selected and equipped with the new tires from both brands and driven under normal conditions for 1 month. A measurement will be taken to determine how much wear took place on a scale from 0 to 200. Below is a table of the paired data collected from the 6 cars in the test.
