A research study was conducted about gender differences in "sexting." The researcher believed that the proportion of girls involved in "sexting" is less than the proportion of boys involved. The data collected in the spring of 2010 among a random sample of middle and high school students in a large school district in the southern United States is out of 2231 males, 183 particpated in sexting. Out of 2169, 156 particpated. Is the proportion of girls sending sexts less than the proportion of boys "sexting?" Test at a 1% level of significance. a) If we use B to denote the boys and G to denote the girls, identify the correct alternative hypothesis. O H1:pB < PG OH1:PB > PG O H1:PB + PG b) Determine the test statistic. Round to two decimals. c) Find the p-value and round to 4 decimals. P = d) Make a decision. O Fail to reject the null hypothesis Reject the null hypothesis e) Write the conclusion. OThere is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that the proportion of girls who sext is less than boys. O There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the proportion of girls who sext is less than boys.

An industrial psychologist hired by a leading accounting firm wanted to know if the average number of hours worked per week at the firm was significantly different from the national average of 52 hours for accountants. The industrial psychologist randomly sampled n=16 people from different divisions within the firm, and calculated the average number of hours they worked per week over a three-month period. The dependent variable in this study is the number of hours worked per week. The data he obtained were: 54, 48, 68, 53, 60, 45, 57, 62, 71, 60, 55, 63, 68, 64, 56, 60
A poll tracks the favorite sport of Americans who follow at least one sport. Results of the poll show that professional football is the favorite sport of 33% of Americans who follow at least one sport, followed by baseball at 15%, men's college football at 10%, auto racing at 6%, men's professional basketball at 5%, and ice hockey at 5%, with other sport at 26%. Consider a survey in which 344 college undergraduates who follow at least one sport were asked to identify their favorite sport produced the following results: Professional Football 113 Baseball 38 Men's College Football 47 Auto Racing 12 Men's Professional Basketball 8 Ice Other Hockey Sports Find the p-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.) p-value = 19 107 Do college undergraduate students differ from the general public with regard to their favorite sports? Use α = 0.05. State the null and alternative hypotheses. O Ho: Undergraduate students do not differ from the general public with regard to their favorite…
The Consumer Reports Restaurant Customer Satisfaction Survey is based upon 148,599 visits to full-service restaurant chains (Consumer Reports website). One of the variables in the study is meal price, the average amount paid per person for dinner and drinks, minus the tip. Suppose a reporter for the Sun Coast Times thought that it would be of interest to her readers to conduct a similar study for restaurants located on the Grand Strand section in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The reporter selected a sample of 8 seafood restaurants, 8 Italian restaurants, and 8 steakhouses. The following data show the meal prices ($) obtained for the 24 restaurants sampled. Use a = 0.05 to test whether there is a significant difference among the mean meal price for the three types of restaurants. Please answer the questions in the image.

A researcher conducts an independent-measures study to examine how the brain chemical serotonin is related to aggression. One sample of rats serves as a control group and receives a placebo that does not affect normal levels of serotonin. A second sample of rats, low serotonin group, receives a drug that lowers brain levels of serotonin. Then, the researcher tests the animals by recording the number of aggressive responses each of the rats display. See the data below. Is there a significant difference between the control group and the low serotonin group regarding the number of aggressive responses? Control Low Serotonin n = 10 n = 15 M = 14 M = 19 SS = 180.5 SS = 130 Perform a hypothesis test using independent-measures t-test. Use a two-tailed…
Internet addiction has been described as excessive and uncontrolled Internet use. The authors of a research article used a score designed to measure the extent and severity of Internet addiction in a study of 837 male and 874 female sixth-grade students in China. Internet Addiction was measured using Young's Internet Addiction Diagnostic Test. The lowest possible score on this test is zero, and higher scores indicate higher levels of Internet addiction. For the sample of males, the mean Internet Addiction score was 1.51 and the standard deviation was 2.02. For the sample of females, the mean was 1.01 and the standard deviation was 1.67. For purposes of this exercise, you can assume that it is reasonable to regard these two samples as representative of the population of male Chinese sixth-grade students and the population of female Chinese sixth grade students, respectively. The standard deviation is greater than the mean for each of these samples. Explain why it is not reasonable to…

Investigation 3.2: Valence Differences Between R&B and Rap Genres (Paired)A music fan claims that R&B songs tend to have a more positive tone on average than do Rapsongs. The individual collected two independent random samples from the population of SpotifySongs. Fifteen R&B songs and another fifteen Rap songs were collected and their Valence wasrecorded. The music fan believed that pairing the song by their Danceability may provideadditional information. Danceability describes how suitable a track is for dancing based on acombination of musical elements including tempo, rhythm stability, beat strength, and overallregularity. A value of 0.0 is least danceable and 1 is most danceable. Thus, the individual pairedthe R&B song with the lowest danceability with the Rap song with the lowest danceability,followed by the second and second, third and third. She continued this process until the R&Bsong with the highest danceability was paired with the Rap song with the…
A recent study on driving behavior examined whether the combination of high driving skills and low safety skills is dangerous. Participants were classified as high or low in driving skill based on responses to a driver-skill inventory, then classified as high or low in safety skill based on responses to a driver-aggression scale. An overall measure of driving risk was obtained by combining several variables such as number of accidents, tickets, tendency to speed, etc. The following data were obtained. Use a 2 x 2 ANOVA with the .05 significance level to evaluate the results. What cutoff score(s) should be used? Driving Skill Low High Safety Skill Low M1=5 M2=4.5 S1=2.7 S2=3.8 N1=6 N2=6 HIgh M3=3 M4=3.5 S3=2.9 S4=2.5 N3=6 N4=6 Group of answer choices +4.35 +3.40 +3.49 +4.26
