A study was conducted to determine if the performance of a certain type of surgery on young horses had any effect on certain kinds of blood cell types in the animal. Fluid samples were taken from each of six foals before and after surgery. The samples were analyzed for the number of postoperative white blood cell (WBC) leukocytes. A preoperative measure of WBC leukocytes was also measured, with the accompanying results. Use a paired sample t-test to determine if there is a significant change in WBC leukocytes with the surgery.

State the null and alternative hypotheses.

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?
Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and also one of the most important. The recommended daily allowance (RDA) of calcium for adults is 800 milligrams (mg). A random sample of 18 people with incomes below the poverty level gives the following daily calcium intakes: 686, 433, 743, 647, 734, 641, 993, 620, 574, 634, 850, 858, 992, 775, 1113, 672, 879, 609 At the 1% significance level, do the data provides sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean calcium intake of all people with income levels below the poverty level is less than the RDA of 800 mg? Step 1 : Step 2: 3.Critical Value approach: 4.Conclusion:
As part of an overall evaluation of training methods, an experiment was conducted to determine the average exercise capacity of healthy male army inductees. To do this, each male in a random sample of 35 healthy army inductees exercised on a bicycle ergometer (a device for measuring work done by the muscles) under a fixed workload until he tired. Blood pressure, pulse rates, and other indicators were carefully monitored to ensure that no one’s health was in danger. The exercise capacities (mean time, in minutes) for the 35 inductees are listed in the data 1. The original question asks for a 95% confidence interval, but I know how to do that. my question is, how do you decide what distribution to use? We do not know the population standard deviation, so I would say t, but isn't one of the assumptions associated with t distribution that the sample be normally distributed? these data aren't normal (by Anderson darling test and qq plot) 2. What are the assumptions of a t distribution? of a…
An article included data from a survey of 2587 hiring managers and human resource professionals.The article noted that many employees are using social networks to screen job applicants and that this practice is becoming more common. Of the 2587 people who participated in the survey, 1300 indicated that they use social networking sites ( such as Facebook, MySpace, and LinkedIn) to research job applicants. For the purposes of this exercise, assume that the sample is representative of hiring managers and human resource professionals. d. suppose that researchers wanted to estimate the proportion of hiring managers and human resource professionals who screen job applicants using social networks. determine the sample size required to estimate the proportion of employers using social networks to screen job applicants to within .03 with 99% confidence. ( round your answer up to the nearest whole number ) hint: use formula that is used when the p estimate is unknown
Polyunsaturated fatty acids in the diet favorably affect several risk factors for cardiovascular disease. The principal dietary polyunsaturated fat is linoleic acid. Suppose we randomly selected twelve adults for our study. We took their blood pressure measurements (systolic blood pressure) at the start and recorded them for each adult. Then we placed required these adults to consume 23g/day of safflower oil which is high in linoleic acid for four weeks. At the end of the four weeks, we took another systolic blood pressure(SBP) measurement. The paired data is provided below: Subject 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Baseline SBP 119.67 100.00 123.56 109.89 96.22 133.33 115.78 126.39 122.78 117.44 111.33 92.39 1-month SBP 117.33 98.78 123.83 107.67 95.67 128.89 113.22 121.56 126.33 110.39 107.00 93.06 Use the appropriate nonparametric test at alpha level of 0.05, to test whether the diet heavy in linoleic acid increases systolic blood pressure (SBP).
A tire manufacturer has been producing tires with an average life expectancy of 28,000 miles. Now the company is advertising that its new tires' life expectancy has increased. In order to test the legitimacy of the advertising campaign, an independent testing agency tested a sample of 12 of their tires and has provided the following data. Longevity (In Thousands of Miles) 28.0 26.5 27.2 26.0 28.3 26.4 29.1 25.0 28.1 27.7 28.3 26.9 a. Determine the mean and the standard deviation. Formulate the correct hypotheses to determine whether b. or not the tire company is using legitimate advertising. At the .05 level of significance using the critical value approach, test to determine whether or not the tire company is using legitimate advertising. Assume the population is normally distributed. d. Repeat the test using the p-value approach. C.

A researcher wants to test the effectiveness of a new drug to treat asthma. One hundred patients with chronic, stable asthma were randomly assigned to one of three groups to receive a placebo (0mg), 1mg of drug, or 5 mg of drug. After treatment, a doctor tested the patient’s forced expiratory volume for 1 second (FEV1). Which statistical test would be best to determine if there is a significant difference between groups? one-sample t-test dependent samples t-test independent samples t-test ANOVA
Productivity is the key driver of wages and one of the most importantdeterminants of living standards. The British Chambers of Commercecommissioned research into understanding whether labour productivity in theautomotive manufacturing sector in England and Ireland were the same ordifferent. The researchers collected data on a random sample of 8 firms inEngland and 4 in Ireland and recorded productivity in units of value added (£)per hour. It is assumed that firm-level productivity has a normal distribution.The following data were collected:Ireland 47 56 43 68England 39 50 39 45 50 43 35 43(i) Set up appropriate null and alternative hypotheses and conduct a test ofthe hypotheses of equal mean productivity in Ireland and England at 5 percent significance level under the assumption of unknown but equalpopulation variances.

A study was made of 1,057 cases of poisoning in children treated as inpatients at Milwaukee Children's Hospital from 1962 through 1968. Data on date of occurrence, age and sex of the child, and type of agent involved were recorded and analyzed by standard statistical methods. Poisoning was due to ingestion of aspirin in 35 per cent of the children studied and to the ingestion of hydrocarbon distillates in 18 per cent. A statistically significant male dominance was found for ingestion of hydrocarbons; age-specific peaks were found for some categories. Trends as to the relative and absolute frequencies of each specific poison from one year to the next were noted; possible reasons for increasing or decreasing trends are discussed. Is this study descriptive or inferential? Explain your answer. What are the variables used in the study? In your opinion, what level of measurement was used to obtain the data from the variables? Does the article define the population? If so, how is it…
A study in a journal published by the American Academy of Pediatrics (as reported in the Miami Herald, Jan. 14, 1997) seems to suggest that preschoolers who drink more than 12 ounces of fruit juice a day tend to be heavier and shorter than preschoolers who do not. The study involved a random sample of 168 healthy youngsters of whom 59 drank on average more than 12 ounces of fruit juice per day. Each child was weighed and measured. The measurements were then converted to percentage of normal height and weight for a child of that age and gender. For example, a weight percentage of 1.1 indicates that the child is 10% heavier than average. A recorded 0.80 indicates the child is 20% below the average. An average weight is recorded as 1.0. Same with height. Column 1: Juice 1- indicates child DID drink > 12 oz 2- child DID NOT drink > 12 oz Column 2: Weight% weight converted to percent of…
