A pharmaceutical company wants to know whether an experimental drug has an effect on systolic blood pressure. Fifteen randomly selected subjects were given the drug and, after sufficient time for the drug to have an impact, their systolic blood pressures were recorded. The data appear below: 172140123130115 148108129137161 123152133128142172140123130115 148108129137161 123152133128142 Calculate the values of y¯¯¯y¯ and s for the 15 blood pressure readings.

A certain stimulus was to be tested for its effects on blood pressure. Twelve men among the willing participants were chosen randomly for this purpose. The blood pressure of each person was measured before and after the administration of the stimulus. The results are as follow: Subject No. 1 2 3 4 5 7 8 9. 10 11 12 Before 121 123 119 129 128 139 137 140 127 125 131 126 After 129 132 128 130 127 140 137 141 134 130 133 125 Is there enough evidence to suggest that the stimulus, on the average, would raise the blood pressure by at least 3 points? (Hint: in this case Ho : HA µB + 3, where HA, HB are the respective mean blood pressure levels after and before the stimulus is administered.) The following `answers" have been proposed. (a) We reject the null hypothesis at the significance level a = 0.05. We could have made a type II error. (b) We reject the null hypothesis at the significance level a = (c) We do not reject the null hypothesis at the significance level a = 0.05. We could have…
A sample of 12 male and 12 female students were surveyed and the amount spent on food last week were recorded. The results are summarized in the table below.

The following data were collected in an experiment designed to investigate the impact of different positions of the mother during ultrasound on fetal heart rate. Fetal heart rate is measured by ultrasound in beats per minute. The study includes 20 women who are assigned to one position and have the fetal heart rate measured in that position. Each woman is between 28-32 weeks gestation. The data are shown below. Back Side Sitting Standing 140 141 144 147 144 143 145 145 146 145 147 148 141 144 148 149 139 136 144 145 Mean= 142.0 Mean=141.8 Mean=145.6 Mean=146.8 a). Is there a significant difference in mean fetal heart rates by position? Run the test at a 10% level of significance. One way analysis of variance is used to analyze the data. Assumptions: 1. The observations are independent. 2. The parent population from which observations are taken is normal 3. Various Treatment and environmental effect are additive in nature. Answer and Explanation:
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?___________

You are thinking about opening a restaurant and are searching for a good location. From research you have done, you know that the mean income of those living near the restaurant must be over $85,000 to support the type of upscale restaurant you wish to open. You decide to take a simple random sample of 50 people living near one potential location. Based on the mean income of this sample, you will perform a test of Ho : μ = $85,000 Haμ> $85,000 where is the true mean income in the population of people who live near the restaurant. Which of the following is not true regarding Type I and Type II errors in this setting? All of these statements are true. A possible consequence of a Type I error here is you may open your restaurant in a location where the residents will not be able to support it, so your restaurant may go out of business. A Type I error occurs when you find convincing evidence that the mean income of all residents near the restaurant exceeds $85,000 when in reality it does…

An experiment was conducted in order to determine if cerebral blood flow in human beings can be predicted from arterial oxygen tension (millimeters of mercury).

According to a 2006 survey conducted by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), birth rates peak slightly between July and October each year. While a slight numerical increase in birth rates is often observed, this difference is assumed to be statistically non-significant. Thus, we would expect to see an equal number of people born during each month of the year in the United States. The "Birth Data.jasp" contains the birth months for 1380 babies (N = 1380) born during the year 2006 in the United States collected by the CDC. Conduct a Chi-Square Goodness of Fit Test at α = 0.05, to see if the number of babies born each month “fits” with the CDC’s assumptions about the population. Identify the correct null hypothesis. A. H0: The number of babies born throughout the year is equal across all 12 months B. H0: The number of babies born during the summer months is greater than the number of babies born during the rest of the year C. HA: The number of babies born in…
