Another researcher also decides to conduct a study to observe the association between smoking cessation among long-term smokers and obesity since it has been previously well documented in the literature that smokers tend to gain weight when they stop smoking. The researcher notes that among the individuals who gain weight, many of them have developed heart problems or other medical problems that typically prevent them from exercising as much as their counterparts. In this case the researcher notes that individuals who have developed the heart problems or other medical problems causing them to gain weight also came from family with a high prevalence of risk-taking behaviors so they consume unhealthy diets and are less likely to exercise in general than their counterparts. This is an example of which of the following? Multilpe Choice Confounding Effect modification Recall bias Socially desirable response bias
A random sample of n1 = 157 people ages 16 to 19 were taken from the island of Oahu, Hawaii, and 12 were found to be high school dropouts. Another random sample of n2 = 129 people ages 16 to 19 were taken from Sweetwater County, Wyoming, and 6 were found to be high school dropouts. Do these data indicate that the population proportion of high school dropouts on Oahu is different (either way) from that of Sweetwater County? Use a 1% level of significance. (a) What is the level of significance? What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Test the difference p1 − p2. Do not use rounded values. Round your final answer to two decimal places.) (c) Find (or estimate) the P-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
Most major airlines allow passengers to carry two pieces of luggage (of a certain maximum size) onto the plane. However, their studies show that the more carry-on baggage passengers have, the longer it takes to unload and load passengers. One regional airline is considering changing its policy to allow only one carry-on per passenger. Before doing so, it decided to collect some data. Specifically, a random sample of 1,000 passengers was selected. The passengers were observed, and the number of bags carried on the plane was noted. Out of the 1,000 passengers, 332 had more than one bag. Complete parts a through d below. Click the icon to view a table of critical values for conmonly used confidence levels. a. Based on this sample, develop and interpret a 95% confidence interval estimate for the proportion of the traveling population that would have been impacted had the one-bag limit been in effect. Determine the confidence interval. (Round to three decimal places as needed. Use ascending…
A study was conducted to determine whether big-city and small-town dwellers differed in their helpfulness to strangers. In this study, the investigators rang the doorbells of strangers living in a large City or small towns in the vicinity. They explained they had misplaced the address of a friend living in the neighbourhood and asked to use the phone. The following data show the number of individuals who admitted or did not admit the strangers (the investigators) into their homes: Helpfulness to strangers Admitted strangers into their home Didnot admit strangers into their home Big city dwellers 60 90 Small town dwellers 70 30 State the dependent and independent variable Is this a directional or non directional
Select the correct text in the passage. Which word or phrase in the excerpt supports the meaning of the word deteriorating as “becoming worse over time”? excerpt from Exploring the Secrets of Marsh Happinessby NOAA Characterizing an “unhappy,” deteriorating tidal marsh is more complex because marshes can fall apart in many different ways. One finding contradicted a previous assumption: namely, that gains in marsh elevation and sediment indicate greater resilience. The authors say marshes with these characteristics performed inconsistently and often signaled the muddy mess that degrading marshes can become, not marsh health.
Recent revenue shortfalls in a southern state led to a reduction in the state budget for higher education. To offset the reduction, the largest state university proposed a 20%20% tuition increase. It was determined that such a large increase was needed to simply compensate for lost support from the state. Random samples of 100 freshmen, 100 sophomores, 100 juniors, and 100 seniors from the university were asked whether they were strongly opposed to the increase, given that it was the minimum increase necessary to maintain the university’s budget at current levels. The results are given in the table. Strongly opposed Freshman Sophomore Junior Senior Yes 78 72 58 36 No 22 28 42 64 What is the contribution to the chi‑square statistic from the cell of strongly opposed juniors? = 0.1551 =3 =9 =0.1475
An urban comminity would like to show that the incidence of breast cancer is higher in their area than in a nearby rural area. If it is found that 20 out of 200 adult women in the urban comminity have breast cancer and 20 of 300 adult women in the rural community have breast cancer, can we conclude at the 0.025 level of 1 significance that breast cancer is more prevalent in the urban comminity?
Let Factor A have three levels and Factor B have five levels. If the interaction between A and B is significant, what is the value of ? for the q-curve if we are performing Tukey’s multiple-comparison procedure to determine which treatment means are different?
The accompanying summary quantities resulted from a study in which x was the number of photocopy machines serviced during a routine service call and y was the total service time (min). n = 17 (y - y)² = 22,218.08(y-y)² = 2615.58 (a) What proportion of observed variation in total service time can be explained by a linear probabilistic relationship between total service time and the number of machines serviced? (Give the answer to three decimal places.) (b) Calculate the value of the estimated standard deviation se. (Give the answer to three decimal places.) What is the number of degrees of freedom associated with this estimate?
Xu and Garcia (2008)conducted a research study demonstrating that 8-month-old infants appear to recognize which samples are likely to be obtained from a population and which are not. In the study, the infants watched as a sample of n = 5 ping-pong balls was selected from a large box. In one condition, the sample consisted of 1 red ball and 4 white balls. After the sample was selected, the front panel of the box was removed to reveal the contents. In the expected condition, the box contained primarily white balls like the sample, and the infants looked at it for an average of M = 7.5 seconds. In the unexpected condition, the box had primarily red balls, unlike the sample, and the infants looked at it for M = 9.9. The researchers interpreted the results as demonstrating that the infants found the unexpected result surprising and, therefore, more interesting than the expected result. Assuming that the standard error for both means is σM = 1 second, draw a bar graph showing the two sample…
As part of an investigation into motorway accidents in Greater Manchester, it was hypothesised that weather conditions were an important factor. Research revealed that in wet weather the M60, M61 and M62 experienced 32, 272 and 96 accidents. In dry weather, the figures were 32, 281 and 30.
