A year-long fitness centre study sought to determine if there is a relationship between the amount of muscle mass gained (kilograms) and the weekly time spent working out under the guidance of a trainer (minutes). They take a simple random sample of 100 subjects in the centre. Based on the sample, they observe that the muscle mass gain variable has mean 15.65 kg and standard deviation 2.1 kg. In addition, they also observe the variable of weekly time spent on working out has mean 114 minutes with standard deviation 13 minutes. From the scatter plot, they find that the correlation between these two variables is 0.83. a. Find the response variable and explanatory variable in this study? b. Using the sample information, find the slope of the least square regression line? Interpret the slope of the regression. c. Using the sample information, find the intercept of the least square regression line? Interpret the intercept of the regression. d. From part b and c, determine the regression model in this study? e. Suppose an individual worked out for 131 minutes per week. How much muscle mass gain would you predict?

in order to evaluate two methods of teaching statistics students were randomly assigned to two groups. In group one example of 32 students were taught using method A, and in group 2 a sample of 36 students were taught using method B. At the end of the instructional methods, both groups were given the same achievement test. For group one the average test score was 87.67 with a standard deviation of 3.72. For group to the average test score was 89.29 with a standard deviation of 3.77. Test at a 10% significance level with the test scores differs for the two groups. Calculate the test statistic and rounded of to three decimals
A study regarding the gender socialization of children growing up in nontraditional families surveyed women in 1979 and then their children in 2019. Each of the 54 participants took a survey regarding gender attitudes toward women with higher numbers corresponding to more liberal attitudes and lower numbers correspond to more conservative attitudes. The average difference between the mother's and daughter's scores was - 2.0857 with a standard deviation of the differences of 3.5868. We are interested in seeing if gender attitudes changed from one generation of women to their daughters. Test at a significance level a = 0.01. Round your answers to three decimal places, and round any interim calculations to four decimal places. Fill in the hypotheses below (click the circle to the left of the correct answer): Ho: Op d με 80 με αν Ha: Ο ΟμοpOposO μαθ x ? ✓
In a test of the effectiveness of garlic for lowering cholesterol, 36 subjects were treated with raw garlic. Cholesterol levels were measured before and after the treatment. The changes (before minus after) in their levels of LDL cholesterol (in mg/dL) have a mean of 0.7 and a standard deviation of 2.03. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that with garlic treatment, the mean change in LDL cholesterol is greater than 0. What do the results suggest about the effectiveness of the garlic treatment? Assume that a simple random sample has been selected. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses, test statistic, P-value, and state the final conclusion that addresses the original claim.
An educator has developed a program to improve math scores on the Texas STAAR test. The average STAAR Mathematics test for the third graders in the district was a mean= 1472. A sample of n= 30 third graders took the new math training prgram before taking the STAAR Math test. The average score for the students was M= 1497. with a standard deviation of s= 145 (note, this is standard deviation, not variance). Was there a significant change in test scores ( use stard devistion of 0.05, two tail test). What conclusion can be made from these data?

An article appeared in an Australian newspaper. It described a study of academic performance and attention span and reported that the mean time to distraction for teenage boys working on an independent task was 3 minutes. Although the sample size was not given in the article, suppose that this mean was based on a random sample of 50 teenage Australian boys and that the sample standard deviation was 1.7 minutes. Is there convincing evidence that the average attention span for teenage boys is less than 4 minutes? Test the relevant hypotheses using a = 0.01. (Use a statistical computer package to calculate the P-value. Round your test statistic to two decimal places and your P-value to four decimal places.) t = P-value = State the conclusion in the problem context. Do not reject Ho. We do not have convincing evidence that the mean time to distraction for Australian teenage boys is less than 4 minutes. Reject Ho.

A study was to be undertaken to determine if a particular training program would improve physical fitness. An SRS of 31 university students was selected to be enrolled in the fitness program. One important measure of fitness is maximum oxygen uptake. Measurements of oxygen uptake in untrained individuals are known to follow a Normal distribution with a mean of 45 ml/kg/min. The researchers wished to determine if there was evidence that their sample of students differed from the general population of untrained subjects. The measurements made on the subjects coming into this study produced a mean of 47.4 with a standard deviation of s = 5.3. Test at 0.05 alpha level showing understanding on how problem was solved.

if a researcher undertook an experiment to evaluate the efficacy of a memory enhancement technique among a cohort of 15 college students. The memory recall abilities of each student were assessed both before and after they underwent training in the memory technique. The observed average increase in memory recall scores following the training was 5 points. The sample variance of the differences within the entire sample was denoted as 8. Does this research question aim to ascertain whether there is a statistically significant elevation in memory recall scores after the implementation of the memory improvement training? To address this question, a one-tailed test with a significance level of (alpha = 0.01) is employed.
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?

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
Researchers conducted a study to determine the effects of different types of alcohol on the peak alcohol concentration. In one part of the study, the researchers gave 15 randomly select males a controlled volume of vodka and monitored the subjects' alcohol concentration following the period of consumption. The legal limit for driving is 80 mg/dL (milligrams per deciliter of blood). A hypothesis test was conducted to see if the mean peak alcohol concentration from drinking vodka was different from the legal driving limit. This was reflected in the null and alternative hypotheses ?0:??1:?=80 mg/dL≠80 mg/dL The researchers required their results to be statistically significant at a level of ?=0.10. The mean peak alcohol concentration of the participants after drinking a controlled volume of vodka was 77.4 mg/dL with a standard deviation of 17.25 mg/dL. Determine the confidence interval that corresponds to the ?‑test. Give the lower and upper bounds precise to two decimal places
