2) A local home inspector wants to test for lead levels in 10 homes using two different testing methods in eachof the homes to determine the level of lead in each of the homes. Two different tests (A and B) are used todetermine the level of lead found in each of ten randomly selected homes. The home inspector believesthat Test A is more accurate than Test B. The data obtained, for lead level in each home using eachmethod is shown in the table below.SPECIMEN8| 92346710A22.723.624.026.627.228.735.032.544.147.3TestB23.023.223.525.62727.133.235.340.547.8a.

The authors of the paper "Statistical Methods for Assessing Agreement Between Two Methods of Clinical Measurement"† compared two different instruments for measuring a person's ability to breathe out air. (This measurement is helpful in diagnosing various lung disorders.) The two instruments considered were a Wright peak flow meter and a mini-Wright peak flow meter. Seventeen people participated in the study, and for each person air flow was measured once using the Wright meter and once using the mini-Wright meter.

1. Birds can regrow feathers if they are lost. A researcher was interested in whether newly regrown feathers in the tails of northern flickers differed in colour (yellowness in particular) compared to older feathers. To test this, they measured the yellowness of one new and one randomly selected old feather on each of 20 birds. A plot of their data and the results of their analysis are shown below. Yellowness 160 150 140 130 new X Feather old Welch Two Sample t-test = data: Yellowness by Feather t = 1.5832, df 37.986, p-value 165 sample estimates: mean in group new mean in group old 147.9623 143.3000 160 New 155 150 145 140 135 = 0.1217 alternative hypothesis: true difference in means is not equal to 0 95 percent confidence interval: -1.299296 10.623962 T T T T T 130 135 140 145 150 155 160 Old a) From the results above, what is the null hypothesis and what statistical conclusion do you make concerning it?
A special education teacher did research on whether or not there is a relationship between the number of students in his class and the number incidents of “acting out” behaviors exhibited by the autistic students in the classroom. He collects data for a year and aggregates them by month. He obtained the statistics below, r= -.863 R2=.74 b= -1.212294 a= 131.176598 10.) How does the presence of more students affect the incidents in the class? a) as students are added the incidences increase b) as students are added the incidences decrease c) the number of students does not affect acting out d) the number of students caused more incidents How much of the variability of acting out is explained by the number of students in the class?___________

Suppose that as part of a research methods class, Bailey was asked to write summaries of research papers on the following topics. • The effects of increasing temperatures on the migration patterns of birds • The effects of media coverage on community support for crime prevention For each topic, identify the explanatory and the response variables. Temperature and the level of community support for crime prevention are the explanatory variables, and the amount of media coverage and the migration patterns of birds are the response variables. Temperature and the amount of media coverage are the response variables, and the migration patterns of birds and the level of community support for crime prevention are the explanatory variables. Temperature and the amount of media coverage are the explanatory variables, and the migration patterns of birds and the level of community support for crime prevention are the response variables.

A state fisheries commission wants to estimate the number of bass caught in a given lake during a season in order to restock the lake with the appropriate number of young fish. The commission could get a fairly accurate assessment of the seasonal catch by extensive “netting sweeps" of the lake before and after a season, but this technique is much too expensive to be done routinely. Therefore, the commission samples a number of lakes and record the seasonal catch (thousands of bass per square mile of lake area) and size of lake (square miles). A simple linear regression was performed and the following R output obtained. Estimate Std.
