According to a certain government agency for a large country, the proportion of fatal traffic accidents in the country in which the driver had a positive blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is 0.34. Suppose a random sample of 109 traffic fatalities in a certain region results in 50 that involved a positive BAC. Does the sample evidence suggest that the region has a higher proportion of traffic fatalities involving a positive BAC than the country at the α = 0.01 level of significance? Because npo (1-Po) =10, the sample size is (Round to one decimal place as needed.) 5% of the population size, and the sample the requirements for testing the hypothesis ▼satisfied.

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).
According to the USDA, 46.2% of males between 20 and 39 years old consume the minimum daily requirement of calcium. After an aggressive “Got Milk?” campaign, the USDA conducts a survey of 48 randomly selected males between the ages of 20 and 39 and finds that 32 of them consume the recommended daily allowance of calcium. At the alpha=0.10 level, is there evidence to conclude that the percentage of males between the ages of 20 and 39 who consume the minimum recommended daily allowance of calcium has increased?
Suppose you conduct a 1-way ANOVA, in which you are comparing a continuous measure of immune response between 3 treatment groups (A, B, and C). The overall alpha level is set at 0.05. You ask for all pairwise comparisons, and you find that the unadjusted p-values for these comparisons are as follows: A vs. B: p=0.0333 A vs. C: p=0.1500 B vs. C: p=0.0100 Which of the following statements is true? Question 20 options: No correction for multiple hypothesis testing would be necessary in this situation. After a Bonferroni correction, the difference between groups B and C would remain statistically significant. After a Bonferroni correction, none of the p-values would remain statistically significant.

Consider the following measurements of blood hemoglobin concentrations (in g/dL) from three human populations at different geographic locations: population1 = [ 14.7 , 15.22, 15.28, 16.58, 15.10 ] population2 = [ 15.66, 15.91, 14.41, 14.73, 15.09] population3 = [ 17.12, 16.42, 16.43, 17.33] Perform ANOVA to check if any of these populations have different mean hemoglobin concentrations. (Assume that all the ANOVA requirements such as normality, equal variances and random samples are met.) After you perform ANOVA perform a Tukey-Kramer post-hoc test at a significance level of 0.05 to see which populations actually have different means. As usual, round all answers to two digits after the decimal point. (Make sure you round off to at least three digits any intermediate results in order to obtain the required precision of the final answers.) For any questions, which ask about differences in means or test statistics, which depend on differences in means provide absolute values. In…
We prefer the procedures to the z procedures for inference about a population mean beca (a) can be used only for large samples. (b) z requires that you know the population standard deviation (c) z requires that you can regard your data as an SRS from the population of interest. (d) z requires that your population be Normally distributed. (e) z requires that your observations be independent.
Tardigrades, or water bears, are a type of micro-animal famous for their resilience. In examining the effects of radiation on arganisms, an expert claimed that the amount of gamma radiation needed to sterilize a colany of tardigrades no longer has a mean of 1200 Gy (grays). (For comparison, humans cannot withstand more than 10 Gy.) A study was conducted on a sample of 21 randomly selected tardigrade colonies, finding that the amount of gamma radiation needed to sterilize a colony had a sample mean af 1225 Gy, with a sample standard deviation of 65 Gy. Assume that the population of amounts of gamma radiation needed to sterilize a colony of tardigrades is approximately normally distributed. Complete the parts below to perform a hypothesis test to see if there is enough evidence, at the 0.10 level af significance, to support the claim that H, the mean amount of gamma radiation needed to sterilize a colony of tardigrades, is nat equal to 1200 Gy. (a) State the null hypothesis and the…
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…

Researchers have noted a decline in cognitive functioning as people age (Bartus, 1990). However, the results from other research suggest that the antioxidants in foods such as blueberries may reduce and even reverse these age-related declines (Joseph et al., 1999). To examine this phenomenon, suppose that a researcher obtains a sample of n = 16 adults who are between the ages of 65 and 75. The researcher uses a standardized test to measure cognitive performance for each individual. The participants then begin a 2-month program in which they receive daily doses of a blueberry supplement. At the end of the 2-month period, the researcher again measures cognitive performance for each participant. The results show an average increase in performance of MD = 7.4 with SS = 1215. Does this result support the conclusion that the antioxidant supplement has a significant effect on cognitive performance? Use a two-tailed test with α = .05. Show your computations.
