A study was conducted to determine if lung cancer altered levels of surfactant in the alveoli of the lung. Seven healthy subjects in the study yielded the following data on surfactant levels: 18, 12, 15, 15, 16, 9, 17. Seven lung cancer patients yielded the following results: 16, 8, 7, 15, 11, 12, 9. Do these data indicate a difference in the surfactant level with cancer? Let α = 0.05. Give the p-value.

The authors of a paper classified characters who were depicted smoking in movies released between a certain range of years. The smoking characters were classified according to sex and whether the character type was positive, negative, or neutral. The resulting data are summarized in the accompanying table. Assume that it is reasonable to consider this sample of smoking movie characters as representative of smoking movie characters. Do the data provide evidence an association between sex and character type for movie characters who smoke? Use α = 0.05.

A clinical trial is run to assess the effects of different forms of regular exercise on HDL levels in persons between the ages of 19 and 29. Participants in the study are randomly assigned to one of three exercise groups—weight training, aerobic exercise, or stretching/yoga—and instructed to follow the program for 8 weeks. Their HDL levels are measured after 9 weeks and are summarized below.

A researcher conducts a between-subjects study to determine whether low levels of the neurochemical serotonin leads to an increase in aggression. One sample of rats serves as a control group and receives a placebo that does not affect normal levels of serotonin. A second sample of rats receives a drug that lowers brain levels of serotonin. Using an alpha level of a = .05, the researcher then tests the animals by recording the number of aggressive responses each of the rats display. The data are as follows: a.) Step 1: State the Hypotheses Ho: H₁: Control n = 10 M = 14 SS=180.5 b.) Step 2: Determine the critical region and draw it on the distribution above: df = > *critical SM₁-M₂ Low Serotonin n = 15 M = 19 SS = 130.0 c.)

Women are recommended to consume 1700 calories per day. You suspect that the average calorie intake is different for women at your college. The data for the 12 women who participated in the study is shown below: 1808, 1681, 1723, 1847, 1808, 1858, 1461, 1449, 1631, 1635, 1815, 1874 Assuming that the distribution is normal, what can be concluded at the αα = 0.01 level of significance? For this study, we should use The null and alternative hypotheses would be: H0:H0: H1:H1: The test statistic = (please show your answer to 3 decimal places.) The p-value = (Please show your answer to 4 decimal places.) The p-value is αα Based on this, we should the null hypothesis. Thus, the final conclusion is that ... The data suggest the population mean is not significantly different from 1700 at αα = 0.01, so there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the population mean calorie intake for women at your college is equal to 1700.

8.6 A large laboratory has four types of devices used to determine the pH of soil samples. The laboratory wants to determine whether there are differences in the average readings given by these devices. The lab uses 24 soil samples having known pH in the study and randomly assigns six of the samples to each device. The soil samples are tested, and the response recorded for each sample is the difference between the pH reading of the device and the known pH of the soil. These values, along with summary statistics, are given in the following table. Sample Device 1 2 3 4 5 6 A -.307 -.294 .079 .019 -.136 -.324 B -.176 .125 -.013 .082 .091 .459 C .137 -.063 .240 -.050 .318 .154 D -.042 .690 .201 .166 .219 .407 a. Based on your intuition, is there evidence to indicate any difference among the mean differences in pH readings for the four devices? b.
