A medical researcher wants to begin a clinical trial that involves systolic blood pressure (SBP) and cadmium (Cd) levels. However, before starting the study, the researcher wants to confirm that higher SBP is associated with higher Cd levels. Below are the SBP and Cd measurements for a sample a participants. What can the researcher conclude with a = 0.01? Cd SBP 55.9 169 55.7 161 55.7 115 55.5 181 182 126 55.9 55.8 55.8 179 55.5 127 55.7 148 55.8 160 55.6 140 a) What is the appropriate statistic? --Select--- Compute the statistic selected in a): b) Obtain/compute the appropriate values to make a decision about Ho. Critical Value = ; Test Statistic = | Decision: --Select--- c) Compute the corresponding effect size(s) and indicate magnitude(s). If not appropriate, input and/or select "na" below.

In a 1868 paper, German physician Carl Wunderlich reported based on over a million body temperature readings that the mean body temperature for healthy adults is 98.6° F. However, it is now commonly believed that the mean body temperature of a healthy adult is less than what was reported in that paper. To test this hypothesis a researcher measures the following body temperatures from a random sample of healthy adults. 98.2, 98.6, 98.5, 98.6, 97.6, 98.2, 98.0 (a) Find the value of the test statistic. (b) Find the 10% critical value.
Two independent samples are examined and the following are found: n1 = 20, M1 = 30, SS1 = 400, n2 = 10, M2 = 15, and SS2 = 300. For these data, Cohen's d is equal to:
A physical therapist wanted to know whether the mean step pulse of men was less than the mean step pulse of women. She randomly selected 54 men and 70 women to participate in the study. Each subject was required to step up and down a 6-inch platform. The pulse of each subject was then recorded. The following results were obtained. Two sample T for Men vs Women N Mean StDev SE Mean Men Women 98% CI for mu Men - mu Women (- 12.20, - 1.00) T-Test mu Men = mu Women (vs H2 O C.

Suppose you are asked to toss a coin 16 times and calculate the proportion of the tosses that were heads. a. What shape would you expect this histogram to be and why? b. Where you do expect the histogram to be centered? c. How much variability would you expect among these proportions? d. Explain why a Normal model should not be used here.
You recently had a cholesterol panel completed and see that the results for your High Density Lipoprotien (HDL) level comes back with z = -1.7 among people of your stature. Your doctor is going to review the results with you but based on what you know about z-scores you can infer: a.The average person of your stature is 1.7 deviations below you. b.Your HDL level is slightly below average. c.The score is negative so this will be good news. d.Your HDL level is extremely low for a person of your stature.

Consider the data from the Anthropology 105 class. The mean for women is 64.33 in and the standard deviation is 2.64 in. The average height of men in the US is approximately 5ft 10in. What proportion of women represented here are shorter than the average man?
Refer to the data presented in Exercise 2.86. Note that there were 50% more accidents in the 25 to less than 30 age group than in the 20 to less than 25 age group. Does this suggest that the older group of drivers in this city is more accident- prone than the younger group? What other explanation might account for the difference in accident rates?
