A researcher was interested in comparing the resting pulse rates of people who exercise regularly and of those who do not exercise regularly. Independent simple random samples of 16 people who do not exercise regularly and 12 people who do exercise regularly were selected and the resting pulse rates (in beats per minute) were recorded. Test the claim that the mean resting pulse rate of people who exercise regularly is larger than the mean resting pulse rate of people who do not exercise regularly.

A comprehensive study conducted by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development tracked more than 1000 children from an early age through elementary school. The study concluded that children who spent more than 30 hours a week in child care before entering school tended to score higher in math and reading when they were in the third grade. The reasearchers cautioned that the findings should not be a cause for alarm because the differences were found to be small. Explain how the difference between the mean math score for the child care group and the overall mean for the third graders could be small but the researchers could still reach the conclusion that the mean for the child care group is significantly higher than the overall mean.
The burning rates of two types of propellants used in aircrew escape systems are being studied. It is known that the two types of propellants have different SD of burning rates. Two samples of n₁ :20 and n₂ 35 specimens are tested, and sample mean burning rates are ₁ 19.05 cm/s and ₂ = 25.37 cm/s, sample SD's are $₁ = 3.81 cm/s and s2 = 3.97 cm/s. Test the hypothesis that these two types of propellants have the same mean burning rate at level a = 0.05. =
Volunteers who had developed a cold within the previous 24 hours were randomized to take either zinc or placebo lozenges every 2 to 3 hours until their cold symptoms were gone. Twenty-five participants took zinc lozenges, and 23 participants took placebo lozenges. For the placebo group, the mean overall duration of symptoms was x, 7.7 days, and the standard deviation was 1.4 days. The mean overall duration of symptoms for the zinc lozenge group was x, 4.2 days, and the standard deviation of overall duration of symptoms was 1.4 days. n USE SALT (a) Calculate x, - x, difference in sample means. days 2x - 'x Compute the unpooled s.e.(x, – x,) standard error of the difference in means.

Two competing headache remedies claim to give fast-acting relief. An experiment was performed to compare the mean lengths of time required for bodily absorption of brand A and brand B headache remedies. Twelve people were randomly selected and given an oral dosage of brand A. Another 12 were randomly selected and given an equal dosage of brand B. The lengths of time in minutes for the drugs to reach a specified level in the blood were recorded. The means, standard deviations, and sizes of the two samples follow. Sample standard deviation 8.7 min Brand Sample size Sample mean A 12 21.8 min B 12 18.9 min 7.5 min Past experience with the drug composition of the two remedies permits researchers to assume that both distributions are approximately normal with equal variances. Let us use a 5% level of significance to test the claim that there is no difference in the mean time required for bodily absorption. Also, find or estimate the p – value of the sample test statistic.
Medical researchers conducted a study to determine whether treadmill exercise could improve the walking ability of patients suffering from claudication, which is pain caused by insufficient blood flow to the muscles of the legs. A sample of 81 patients walked on a treadmill for six minutes every day. After six months, the mean distance walked in six minutes was 485 meters, with a standard deviation of 113 meters. For a control group of 84 patients who did not walk on a treadmill, the mean distance was 500 meters with a standard deviation of 127 meters. Can you conclude that the mean distance walked for patients using a treadmill is less than the mean for the controls? Let m1 denote the mean distance walked for patients who used a treadmill. Use the a=0.1 level of significance and the TI-84 Plus calculator.
An Exercise Science instructor at IVC was interested in comparing the resting pulse rates of students who exercise regularly and the pulse rates of those who do not exercise regularly. Independent simple random samples of 16 students who do not exercise regularly and 12 students who exercise regularly were selected, and the resting pulse rates (in beats per minute) were recorded. The summary statistics are presented in the table below. Is there compelling statistical evidence that the mean resting pulse rate of people who do not exercise regularly is greater than the mean resting pulse rate of people who exercise regularly? Use a significance value of 0.05.

Researchers are interested in the effect of pet companionship on depression in elderly adults. They randomly select 25 participants from the target population and record their depression scores before and after spending a month with a dog (a higher score indicates a higher level of depression). The researchers then compute the difference scores for each participant (difference after before). The mean of differences is - 1 and the standard deviation of differences is 2. Can the researchers conclude that there is an effect of pet companionship on depression in elderly adults? Conduct the appropriate statistical test (two-tailed) with a = .05. Based on the information provided above, which statistical test seems most appropriate? one sample t test O z test independent samples t test O dependent samples t test
A study was conducted about the histopathological changes in the zebra fish ovaries after a chronic exposure to an antiviral drug used in COVID 19. The vacuolation of the interstitial tissues and the vitellogenic oocyte atresia of the fish exposed to the drug were assessed using histological scores. What type of variable is the histologic scores in this study?

The Computer Anxiety Rating Scale (CARS) measures an individual's level of computer anxiety, on a scale from 20 (no anxiety) to 100 (highest level of anxiety). Researchers at Miami University administered CARS to 172 business students. One of the objectives of the study was to determine whether there is a difference in the level of computer anxiety experienced by female and male business students (with known variances). They found the following: X_bar(male)=40.26, variance_male=169, n_male=100; X_bar (female)=36.85, variance_female=81, n_female=72. Construct 99% confidence interval estimate of the difference in the mean computer anxiety experienced by female and male business students?
