A study tested the claim that heights of Americans and heights of Austrians have different variances with s=7.48092 cm for Americans and 7.14756 cm for Austrians. The sample sizes are n1= 145 and n2= 157. When using the F test with these data, is it correct to reason that there is no need to check for normalcy because n1 is greater than 30, and n2 is greater than 30?

Researchers at UT Austin noticed that the seagrass beds in Corpus Cristi Bay (CCB) were taller and thicker than those in Lower Laguna Madre (LLM). They compared the sediment ammonium concentration, in the two locations. Following are the summary statistics on sediment ammonium concentration, in micromoles, obtained by the researchers. Equality of variances is not assumed. CCB: X₁ 115.1, s₁= 79.4, n₁ = 51 LLM: X₂ = 24.3, S₂ 10.5, n₂: 19 = a. At the 1% significance level, is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean sediment ammonium concentration in CCB exceeds that in LLM? b. Determine a 98% confidence interval for the difference μ1-µ2, between the mean sediment ammonium concentrations in CCB and LLM. Interpret your answer in (a) in words. c. Do the results in (a) and (b) provide the consistent results? Explain.

A coin-operated coffee machine made by BIG Corporation was designed to discharge a mean of 7.3 ounces of coffee per cup. If it dispenses more than that on average, the corporation may lose money, and if it dispenses less, the customers may complain. Believing that the mean amount of coffee dispensed by the machine, u, is greater than 7.3 ounces, BIG plans to do a statistical test of the claim that the machine is working as designed. Technicians gather a random sample of fill amounts and find that the mean of the sample is 7.5 ounces and that the standard deviation is 0.6 ounces. Based on this information, answer the questions below. What are the null hypothesis (H,) and the alternative hypothesis (H,) that should be used for the test? H: u is ? H: u is ? In the context of this test, what is a Type I error? A Type I error is ? fact, u is ? v the hypothesis that u is ? v? v. when, in Suppose that BIG decides not to reject the null hypothesis. What sort of error might it be making? ?
Say we were testing the effects of taking calcium on bone density levels and obtained a positive and significant value for our independent t test result. What would you write (using APA format) when performing a percentage of variance explained test on the data and received a value of r2=.38.
This research was conducted with Korean adolescents in the Los Angeles area. Would you be willing to generalize the results of this study to Korean adolescents who live in other regions of the country? Why or why not.
the standard deviation however is not squared? don't we have to square those first because SD is variance squared?

A social psychologist is interested in knowing whether people are more aggressive if they are in the presence of a weapon, such as a gun Treatment Condition- T1, as compared to when they are in a room with an innocuous item such as a tennis racket Control Condition-T2. The study used one sample of 17 college students and had all of the students in the sample participate in both treatment conditions. The mean of the difference scores was 18.0 and the variance (s2) was 612. An alpha level of .01 was set. Calculate the t. A 3.000 B 2.780 C 2.152 D 1.765
A researcher was interested in knowing if mean BMI was different between males and females. He obtained the following test results. Choose the correct interpretation of the results: F test p value = 0.03 Two sample t test, assume equal variance = 0.02 Two sample t test, assume unequal variance = 0.06 Mean BMI is higher in males than females. None Mean BMI is not significantly different between males and females. Mean BMI is significantly different between males and females.

A researcher is interested whether a new drug is effective in changing patients' cholesterol levels. She divided 33 patients into 3 groups according to the dosage the patient received. The cholesterol levels of all patients are measured and used as the data for the Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). If she reported the test statistic F = 2.1 What is the degree of freedom for the numerator of the F statistic? What is the degree of freedom for the denominator of the F statistic? What is the P-value of the F-test? (Round to 3 decimals) Given the significance level of 0.01, what can she conclude from the test? *The patients in differnt groups have simliar average cholesterial levels. The drug made no difference. *At least one group of patients have an average cholesterol level that is different from the other groups. The drug may have an effect.
