A new sales training program has been instituted at a rent-to-own company. Prior to the training, six employees were tested on their knowledge of products offered by the company. Once the training was completed, the employees were tested again in an effort to determine whether the training program was effective. Scores are known to be normally distributed. The sample scores on the tests are listed next. Use pretest score as µ1 for population 1 and posttest score as µ2 for population 2, or µp as the difference calculated as pretest score minus posttest score. Pretest Score Posttest Score 68 77 101 105 81 84 91 99 79 75 83 85 Which of the following is the value of the appropriate test statistic?

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.
The average worker at a local brake manufacturer produces 10 brakes per day (other statistical information was not known). An industrial psychologist was hired to increase worker productivity and a new assembly method was designed and tested in a sample of workers. Identify the appropriate test. Select one: a. independent samples t test b. z test c. single sample t test d. paired samples t test

An immunologist wants to compare two rabies vaccines. People who had previously received the vaccine were divided into two groups. The first group received a booster dose of type I vaccine and the second group received a booster dose of type II vaccine. Two weeks later the antibody level was measured. The average number of antibodies in each group appears in the following table: Do these data indicate that there is a difference in the effectiveness of the two vaccines used for booster doses? Assume a normal distribution and equal population variances. What type of hypothesis test will allow us to reach a conclusion in the situation posed above? A. Variance test B. Unilateral for difference in proportions C. Bilateral for average difference D. Unilateral for change in effectiveness
Below indicate whether the appropriate test would be an independent t-test, dependent t-test, One-way ANOVA, or z-test. A researcher wants to know if people find baby animals cuter than adult animals. All of the participants in a study are shown 10 pictures of baby animals and 10 pictures of adult animals. They are asked to rate (on a 1 to 10 scale) how cute they think each animal is.
A new screening test for Lyme disease is developed for use in the general population. The sensitivity and specificity of the new test are 60% and 70%, respectively. Five hundred people are screened at a clinic during the first year the new test is implemented. Assume the true prevalence of Lyme disease among clinic attendees is 10%. Calculate the predictive value of a positive test.
Indicate the levels for which measures are being obtained in each type of study of the observational studies: cross-sectional, case-control, and cohort studies using the book of Robert H. Friis; Thomas Sellers.
Acne is a common skin disease that affects most adolescents and can continue into adulthood. A study compared the effectiveness of three acne treatments and a placebo, all in gel form, applied twice daily for 12 weeks. The study's 517 teenage volunteers were randomly assigned to one of the four treatments. Success was assessed as clear or almost clear skin at the end of the 12 week period. The results of the study can be seen in the table below. Using the appropriate statistical test, determine if there is significant evidence that the four treatments perform differently. If so, how do they compare.
Please help me in answering the following practice question:Given a random sample of the amount of protein (in gram) in one bag of snack food: 0.95, 0.85, 0.92, 0.95, 0.93, 0.86, 1, 0.92, 0.85, 0.81, 0.78, 0.93, 0.93, 1.05, 0.93, 1.06, 1.06, 0.96, 0.81, 0.96 Here, it is assumed that the amount of protein in the snack is normal. How would I calculate a 98% two-sided confidence interval for the average amount of protein in one bag?Thank you for your help in advance!
Genetic drugs are lower cost substitutes for brand-name drugs. Before a genetic drug can be sold in the United States, it must be tested found to perform equivalently to the brand-name product. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is now supervising the testing of new genetic antifungal ointment. The Brand-name ointment is known to deliver a mean of 3.5 micrograms of active ingredient to each square centimeter of skin. As part of the testing, seven subjects apply the ointment. Six hours later, the amount of drugs that has been absorbed into the skin measured. The amounts, in micrograms, are 2.6, 3.2, 2.1, 3.0, 3.1, 2.9, 3.7 How strong is the evidence that the mean amount absorbed differs from 3.5 micrograms? Test by using a confidence interval with ?=0.05α=0.05. Show Step1-Step3. Round critical value to nearest hundredth. (e.g. 0.1256 would be entered as 0.13) Round confidence interval to nearest thousandth. (e.g. 0.12456 would be entered as 0.125)
