A researcher conducts a two-year study comparing the number of cavities in a group of 30 randomly selected young children from the community before and after the application of fluoride to test if there is a decrease in the number of cavities. This is an example of a/an: Independent-samples t test or Dependent-samples t test?

Question 20 The table below contains summary statistics about the 2015 annual sales growth (in percentage points, %) for three random and independent samples of 10 electronic stores with high advertising expenditure, 9 electronic stores with medium advertising expenditure, and 9 electronic stores with low advertising expenditure. Suppose that the sales growth of electronic stores with high, medium and low advertising spending are normally distributed.Perform a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and construct the ANOVA table. Using the ANOVA table, you have constructed, the SSTr is , SSE is and SST is . The sales manager believes that the mean sales growth of electronic stores with high, medium and low advertising expenditures are the same. Formulating an appropriate hypothesis to test this belief, the value of the test statistic that must be used to test the formulated hypothesis, rounded off to 3 decimal places is . Testing at the 1% level, the critical value of this hypothesis,…
QUESTION 1 A magazine article reported that more than 11% of adults buy takeout food daily. A fast-food restaurant owner surveyed 200 customers and found that 32 said that they purchased takeout food daily. At  = 0.05, is there evidence to believe the articles’ claim? QUESTION 2 [5m] The average family size was reported as 3.18. A random sample of families in a particular district resulted the following family sizes: 5 4 5 4 4 3 6 4 3 3 5 6 3 3 2 7 4 5 2 2 2 At  = 0.01, does the average family size in that district differ from the national average?
Suppose you’re interested to know if men or women drink more alcohol in a typical week.

Question 3 A study compared three display panels used by air traffic controllers. Each display panel was tested for four different simulated emergency conditions. Twenty-four highly trained air traffic controllers were used in the study. Two controllers were randomly assigned to each display panel-emergency condition combination. The time (in seconds) required to stabilize the emergency condition was recorded. Figure 12.12 gives the resulting data and the MINITAB out- put of a two-way ANOVA of the data. DS Display2 a Interpret the interaction plot in Figure 12.12. Then test for interaction with a = .05. b Test the significance of display panel effects with a = .05. c Test the significance of emergency condition effects with a = .05. d Make pairwise comparisons of display panels A, B, and C by using Tukey simultaneous 95 percent confidence intervals. e Make pairwise comparisons of emergency conditions 1, 2, 3, and 4 by using Tukey simulta- neous 95 percent confidence intervals. f Which…
Question 1 Select all that apply. Newborn Brain Damage Researchers studied 208 infants whose brains were temporarily deprived of oxygen due to complications at birth. When researchers detected oxygen deprivation, they randomly assigned babies to either usual care or to a whole-body cooling group. The goal was to see whether reducing body temperature for three days after birth increased the rate of survival without brain damage. Which of the following is used in the design of this experiment? Check all that apply. Random assignment Control group Double blinding Question 2 Select one answer.

QUESTION 13 You are interested in investigating the efficacy of a stressor and design an experiment measuring stress levels before and after performing the new stressor. You recruit 12 people to participate in your study and bring the same 12 participants in for two separate sessions. During one visit you measure their stress levels after a nonstressful task. During the other visit you measure their stress levels after participating in the new stressor. What type of t test would you run? O repeated-measures ANOVA O independent samples t-test Obetween-samples t-test O paired-samples t-test
24.22 Caffeine and sugar. A double-blind randomized experiment assigned healthy undergraduate students to drink one of four beverages after fasting overnight: water, water with 75 mg of caffeine, water with 75 g of glucose, and water with 75 mg of caffeine and 75 g of glucose. Subjects performed a number of cognitive tasks, including the California Computerized Assessment Package, a computerized reaction time program measuring sustained attention, reaction time, and visual scanning speed. Here are the resulting reaction times (SEM is the standard error of the mean): SEM Beverage 18 389.35 18.50 Water 18 320.16 17.98 Water and caffeine Water and glucose 18 318.16 17.04 Water, caffeine, and glucose 18 336.44 14.02 Identify the populations and the response variable.

Question 3 > A comparison between species: Biologists wish to compare the prevalence of a genetic mutation across two species of Neema Toads. In a sample of 7 Neema Toads of Species I, 1.4% had the mutation while in a sample of 14 Neema Toads of Species II, 1.9% showed the mutation. Is there significant evidence to suggest a difference in the prevalence of the mutation across the two species? Conduct a hypothesis test at a significance level of a = 0.01. a) The hypotheses for this test are: O Ho: Pi - Pil = 0 Ha: Pi-Pil ≈ 0 O Ho: Pl - Pll = 0 Ha: Pi - Pll 0 O Ho: Pll = 0.014 H₂: P = 0.014 What is the test statistic for this test? test statistic = (Report answer accurate to 2 decimal places.) What is the p-value for this test? p-value = (Report answer accurate to 4 decimal places.) The decision reached is O Fail to reject Ho O Reject Ho and accept Ha As such, the final conclusion is that O The prevalence of the mutation is the same for both species.
