A psychologist conducted a study on size of a town and the high school drop out rate. A left tailed hypothesis test was performed for r. If the p-value was 0.02 and a = 0.1, then it can be concluded that larger towns tend to have higher drop out rates. true O false

Is there sufficient evidence or not to conclude that there is a linear correlation between brain volume and IQ score in males ?
A market research firm used a sample of individuals to rate the purchase potential of a particular product before and after the individuals saw a new television commercial about the product. The purchase potential ratings were based on a 0 to 10 scale, with higher values indicating a higher purchase potential. The null hypothesis stated that the mean rating "after" would be less than or equal to the mean rating "before." Rejection of this hypothesis would show that the commercial improved the mean purchase potential rating. Use a = 0.05 and the following data to test the hypothesis and comment on the value of the commercial. Purchase Rating Individual After Before 1 6 5 6 4 3 7 4 4 3 3 8 8 6 State the null and alternative hypotheses. (Use u, = mean rating after - mean rating before.)

A graduate student is interested in how viewing different types of scenes affects working memory. For his study, he selects a random sample of 36 adults. The subjects complete a series of working memory tests before and after walking in an urban setting. Before the walk, the mean score on the test of working memory was 9.1. After the walk, the mean score was 1.4 higher. The graduate student has no presupposed assumptions about how viewing different types of scenes affects working memory, so he formulates the null and alternative hypotheses as: H00 : μDD = 0 H11 : μDD ≠ 0 Assume that the data satisfy all of the required assumptions for a repeated-measures t test. The graduate student calculates the following statistics for his hypothesis test: Mean difference (MDD) 1.4 Estimated population standard deviation of the differences (s) 1.6 Estimated standard error of the mean differences (sMDMD) 0.2667 Degrees of freedom (df) 35 The t statistic 5.25 The critical values of t…
A Data analytics professor wants to know whether level of college education influences the grade earned by students in his course. Last semester, 400 students completed his class: 150 freshmen, 100 sophomores, 100 juniors, and 50 seniors. At end of the semester, 80 students earned an A, 148 earned a B, and 172 earned a C. The distribution of grades is shown in the following table. Do a chi-square test at alpha=0.05. What is the null hypothesis for this test? A. The letter grades of the students are significantly different. B. The letter grades of the students are dependent of the level of college education. C. The letter grades of the students are identical. D. The letter grades of the students are independent of the level of college education.
An educational psychologist studies the effect of frequent testing on retention of class material. In one of the professor's sections, students are given quizzes each week. The second section receives only two tests during the semester. At the end of the semester, both sections receive the same final exam, and the scores are summarized below. Do the data indicate that testing frequency has a significant effect on performance? Use a two-tailed test with α = .01. Include the null hypothesis in symbols, critical region(s), and a conclusion about significance. Compute r2 and state the size of the effect (e.g. small, medium, large). Frequent Quizzes Two Exams n = 15 n = 15 M = 72 SS= 112 M = 68 SS= 98
In case of hypothesis testing in places where population variances are unknown and sample size is large (nl and n22 30), sample variances can be a good approximation of population variances. Which best describe this statement? Select one: O a. None of the choices O b. The statement is true c. The statement is false O d. Not enough data to support the statement O e. The statement is neither true nor false
A researcher selects a sample from a population with a mean of 50 and administers a treatment to the individuals in the sample. If the treatment is expected to decrease scores, what is the correct statement for the alternative hypothesis for a one tailed test
A random sample of 200 Canadian students was asked about their hand dominance and whether they suffer from allergies. Here are the results: Allergies? No 7 Yes Ambidextrous 12 Hand dominance Left-handed 11 Right-handed 95 66 Which of the following are appropriate null and alternative hypotheses for these data?

The accounting department analyzes the variance of the weekly unit costs reported by two production departments. A sample of 16 cost reports for each of the two departments shows cost variances of 2.3 and 5.4, respectively. Is this sample sufficient to conclude that the two production departments differ in terms of unit cost variance? Use a = .10. a. State the null and alternative hypotheses. Ho: 0 12 equal to H : 0 1 ? not equal to 2 b. Calculate the value of the test statistic (to 2 decimals). c. The p-value is between .10 and .20 v d. What is your conclusion? Cannot conclude that the departments differ in terms of unit cost variance v
Considering a treadmill test given to patients being tested for high blood pressure, male patients took their pulse rates before and after running for 5 min. Subject 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Pulse before 64 100 85 60 92 85 68 85 85 68 Pulse after 68 115 84 68 105 92 72 88 80 92 Using a 0.05 significance level, perform the 8-step hypothesis test to test the claim that the mean difference between the pulse rates before and after the run is significantly zero. Based on the result, do the male pulse rates taken before and after running appear to be about the same or not?
