A researcher is interested in exploring the relationship between calcium intake and weight loss. Two different groups, each with 2626 dieters, are chosen for the study. Group A is required to follow a specific diet and exercise regimen, and also take a 500-mg supplement of calcium each day. Group B is required to follow the same diet and exercise regimen, but with no supplemental calcium. After six months on the program, the members of Group A had lost a mean of 10.4 pounds with a standard deviation of 2.6 pounds. The members of Group B had lost a mean of 11.7pounds with a standard deviation of 2.8 pounds during the same time period. Assume that the population variances are not the same. Construct a 99% confidence interval to estimate the true difference between the mean amounts of weight lost by dieters who supplement with calcium and those who do not. Let Population 1 be the amount of weight lost by Group A, who took a 500-mg supplement of calcium each day, and let Population 2 be…
Tourism is extremely important to the economy of Florida. Hotel occupancy is an often-reported measure of visitor volume and visitor activity (Orlando Sentinel, May 19, 2018). Hotel occupancy data for February in two consecutive years are as follows. Current Year 1,476 1,800 Occupied Rooms Total Rooms 1,422 1,800 a. Formulate the hypothesis test that can be used to determine whether there has been an increase in the proportion of rooms occupied over the one-year period. Let P₁= population proportion of rooms occupied for current year P2 population proportion of rooms occupied for previous year - P2 less than or equal to 0 greater than 0 Ho P1 Ha P1 P2 b. What is the estimated proportion of hotel rooms occupied each year (to 2 decimals)? Current year .80 X Previous Year .77 c. Conduct a hypothesis test. What is the p-value (to 4 decimals)? Use Table 1 from Appendix B. Previous Year p-value = 0.0166 Using a 0.05 level of significance, what is your conclusion? We can conclude that there…
Kris works for the MESA Air Pollution Study at UW, and studies the correlation be- tween air pollution and the disease atherosclerosis. Nationally, 40% of adults suffer from atherosclerosis. Kris suspects that the proportion of people with atherosclerosis in high- pollution areas is higher. In a random sample of 600 residents of high-pollution areas, he finds that 270 (45%) subjects have atherosclerosis. At the 1% level (α = .01), is this good evidence that people in high-pollution areas are more likely to have atherosclerosis? (a) Which of the following is the Ha ? (research claim or alternate) A. Ha : p ≥ 0.40 B. Ha : pb ≥ 0.40 C. Ha : p > 0.40 D. Ha : p > b 0.40 E. Ha : p > b 0.45 F. Ha : p > 0.45 G. Ha : pb ≥ 0.45 H. Ha : p ≥ 0.45 I.

Individual actions can play a large role in the overall health of our planet. A researcher interested in evaluating environment friendly behaviors evaluated how often people recycle (per month) based on whether they have an overall optimistic or an overall pessimistic attitude toward eco-friendly behaviors. The results from this hypothetical study are given in the table. Test whether or not recycling behaviors differed between groups using a .05 level of significance. State the value of the test statistics and the decision to retain or reject the null hypothesis. Compute effect size using eta- squared (n^2).

A behavioral scientist investigated whether there is a significant difference in the percentages of men and women who purchase silver-colored cars. The scientist selected a random sample of 50 men and a random sample of 52 women who had recently purchased a new car. Of the men selected, 16 had purchased a silver-colored car. Of the women selected, 9 had purchased a silver-colored car. Which of the following is the most appropriate method for analyzing the results? A two-sample zz-test for the difference in population proportions A A two-sample zz-test for the difference in sample proportions B A one-sample zz-test for a sample proportion C A one-sample zz-test for a population proportion D A one-sample zz-test for a difference in sample proportions
Fewer young people are driving. In 1995, 63.9% of people under 20 years old who were eligible had a driver's license. Bloomberg reported that percentage had dropped to 41.7% in 2016. Suppose these results are based on a random sample of 1,200 people under 20 years old who were eligible to have a driver's license in 1995 and again in 2016.
Dr. Guidry conducts a study examining the relationship between the number of friends one has and the experience of daily stress and life satisfaction. She randomly samples 1,500 elderly men and women in Nashville, Tennessee (the state capital), located in the southern United States. Below are her findings.• Life satisfaction and experience of daily stress: r = .57 (p = .01)• Number of friends one has and experience of daily stress: r = .09, not sig.• Number of friends one has and life satisfaction: r = .36 (p = .04) Which of the following conclusions can Dr. Guidry draw about the number of friends one has and life satisfaction based on her statistical analyses? a. The probability of her sample coming from a zero association population is about 4%. (correct answer) b. The probability of her sample coming from a zero association population is about 96%. c. The relationship is not statistically significant. d. The strong correlation means that the number of friends one has causes an…
An article indicated that the biggest issue facing e-retailers is the ability to turn browsers into buyers. The article stated that less than 10% of browsers buy something from a particular website. A SRS of 2000 browsers was taken of which 180 made a purchase. Let alpha = .10.
An environmental group conducted a study to determine whether crows in a certain region were ingesting food containing unhealthy levels of lead. A biologist classified lead levels greater than 6.0 parts per million (ppm) as unhealthy and that the distribution of the population of crows was Normally distributed. The lead levels of a random sample of 23 crows in the region were measured and recorded. The mean lead level of the 23 crows in the sample was 4.90 ppm and the standard deviation was 1.12 ppm. B.A previous study of crows showed that the population standard deviation was at 2.6 ppm. What minimum sample size would be required to construct a 90 percent confidence interval to have a margin of error within 0.03?
What percentage of Contra Costa County adults supports a ban on assault-style weapons? Suppose that we survey a random sample of 100 adults living in Contra Costa County and find that 62% support a ban on assault-style weapons. According to a 2015 study by the Pew Research Center, 57% of U.S. adults favor a ban on assault-style weapons. Assuming that the variability in random samples will be the same in Contra Costa County as in the U.S., find the 95% confidence interval to estimate the proportion of CCC adults that favor a ban on assault-style weapons. g. Are we confident that the percentage of Contra Costa County residents that supports a ban is greater than the percentage nationwide as reported by the Pew Research Center? Why or why not?
A team of epidemiologists at the Mayo Clinic wanted to find whether there is an association between obesity and cardiovascular disease (CVD). They conducted a prospective cohort study following obese and non-obese individuals who were free of CVD at the beginning of study for five years.
