5 A study of iron deficiency among infants compared samples of infants following different feedingregimens. One group contained breastfed infants, while the children in another group were fed astandard baby formula without any iron supplements. Here are summary results on bloodhemoglobin levels at 12 months of age:GroupBreastfedFormulan2319ybar13.312.4S1.71.8Do the data provide sufficient evidence that the mean hemoglobin level is higher among breastfedbabies?

Passive exposure to environmental tobacco smoke has been associated with growth suppression and an increased frequency of respiratory tract infections in normal children. Is this association more pronounced in children with cystic fibrosis? To answer this question, 43 children (18 girls and 25 boys) attending a 2-week summer camp for cystic fibrosis patients were studied (New England Journal of Medicine, Sept. 20, 1990). Among several variables measured were the child's weight percentile (y) and the number of cigarettes smoked per day in the child's home (x). a. For the 18 girls, the coefficient of correlation between y and x was reported as r = –.50. Interpret - this result. b. Refer to part a. The p-value for testing Ho: p = 0 against H;: p # 0 was reported as p = .03. n Interpret this result. c. For the 25 boys, the coefficient of correlation between y and x was reported asr = -.12.

Anemia (low healthy blood cells or hemoglobin) has an important role in exercise performance. However, the direct link between rapid changes of hemoglobin and exercise performance is still unknown. A study investigated 18 patients with a blood disorder (beta-thalassemia). Participants in the study performed an exercise test before and the day after receiving a blood transfusion. Data are given in the table.

Is there a relationship between autism and what an infant is fed? To determine if there is, a researcher asked a random sample of mothers what they had fed their infant and they also recorded whether or not the child was autistic. Almost all brands of formula sold in the U.S. are now fortified with DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and ARA (arachidonic acid). The data are in the table below. Do the data provide enough evidence to show that that what an infant is fed and autism are dependent? Test at the 1% level and round expected values to one decimal place. what an infant is fed yes (Observed) yes (Expected Value) no (Observed) no (Expected Value) Row Total breastmilk 6 422 428 formula with DHA/ARA 7 1156 1163 formula without DHA/ARA 15 525 540 Column Total 28 2103 2131 H: HypothesesHo:Ho:Select an answer whether or not a child has autism infant infants yes and Select an answer what an infant is fed infant infants no are Select an answer independent…
A team of epidemiologists at the Mayo Clinic wanted to find whether there is an association between obesity and cardiovascular disease (CVD). They conducted a prospective cohort study following obese and non-obese individuals who were free of CVD at the beginning of study for five years. The investigators were also interested in assessing age as a potential confounder, effect modifier, or both. Use the data below to answer the accompanying questions. CVD No CVD Total Obese 10 90 100 Not Obese 35 465 500 Total 45 555 600 CVD No CVD Total Obese 36 164 200 Not Obese 25 175 200 Total 61 339 400 1.

Efforts by airlines to improve on-time arrival rates are showing results. Boston.com reports that in the first 10 months of 2012 on-time arrival rates at U.S. airports were the highest they have been since 2003. During this period 82% of flights landed within 15 minutes of their scheduled time. Are there differences among the major airlines? The data in Sheet 35 show the number of on-time arrivals for samples of flight taken from seven major U.S. airlines in 2012. Using a 0.05 level of significance, what is the p-value and what is your conclusion?

An experiment was conducted to compare the alcohol content of soy sauce on two different production lines. Production was monitored eight times a day. The data are shown here. Production line 1 0.38 0.37 0.39 0.41 0.38 0.39 0.40 0.39 Production line 2 0.48 0.39 0.42 0.52 0.40 0.48 0.52 0.52 Assume both populations are normal. It is suspected that production line 1 is not producing as consistently as production line 2 in terms of alcohol content. Perform a hypothesis test to compare the population standard deviation of these two types of production lines. What is the value of the test statistic?
Patients suffering from rheumatic diseases or osteoporosis often suffer critical losses in bone mineral density (BMD). Alendronate is one medication prescribed to build or prevent further loss of BMD. Holcomb and Rothenberg (A-3) looked at 96 women taking alendronate to determine if a difference existed in the mean percent change in BMD among five different primary diagnosis classifications. Group 1 patients were diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Group 2 patients were a mixed collection of patients with diseases including lupus, Wegener’s granulomatosis and polyarteritis, and other vasculitic diseases (LUPUS). Group 3 patients had polymyalgia rheumatica or temporal arthritis (PMRTA). Group 4 patients had osteoarthritis (OA) and group 5 patients had osteoporosis (O) with no other rheumatic diseases identified in the medical record. Changes in BMD are shown in the following table. Discuss the Alendronate medication data in terms of variability. To determine if a difference…

A coworker claims that Skittles candy contains equal quantities of each color (purple, green, orange, yellow, and red). In other words, 1/5 of all Skittles are purple, 1/5 of all Skittles are green, etc. You, an avid consumer of Skittles, disagree with her claim. Test your coworker's claim at the a= 0.05 level of significance, using the data shown below from a random sample of 200 Skittles. The correct hypotheses for this test are O Ho: P₁ = P2; Hi P1 P2 O Ho: Skittles candy colors come in equal quantities; H₁: Skittles candy colors do not come in equal quantities O Ho: Taste the Rainbow; H₁: Do not Taste the Rainbow O Ho: Red Skittles are cherry flavored; H₁: Red Skittles are strawberry flavored Sample Skittles data: Color Count purple green orange yellow red 36 39 48 34 Test Statistic (2 decimal places): Give the p-value (4 decimal places): Select an answer The correct result is The appropriate conclusion is There is not sufficient evidence to warrant the rejection of the claim that…
