After students were not doing so well in her english class, Mrs. Jones decided to try a different approach and use verbal positive reinforcement at least once every hour. Use the following results to find a 99 % confidence interval for the true mean change in the students' test scores after Mrs. Jones started using positive reinforcement. Assume that the population distribution of the paired differences is approximately normally distributed. Round to one decimal place.

Based on the following two tables, what conclusions can you draw? Contrast between the expected values and the observed values. H1: The gender and afraid to walk at night in your neighborhood are not independent variables. H0: The gender and afraid to walk at night in your neighborhood are independent variables.
The claim is that the proportion of adults who smoked a cigarette in the past week is less than 0.25 and the sample statistics include n=1150 subjects with 265 saying that they smoked a cigarette in the past week. Find the value of the test statistic.
instructor thinks that the mean score is higher. She samples 10 statistics students and obtains the scores: Grades 63.9 68.4 | 69 | 96 64.3 | 63.9 65 69 62.7 68.4 Test grades are believed to be normally distributed. Use a significance level of 5%. A. State the alternative hypothesis: HA: Ou + 65 Ομ 65 B. State the mean of the sample: C. State the standard error of the sample means:
A graduate student is interested in how viewing different types of scenes affects working memory. For his study, he selects a random sample of 36 adults. The subjects complete a series of working memory tests before and after walking in an urban setting. Before the walk, the mean score on the test of working memory was 9.1. After the walk, the mean score was 1.4 higher. The graduate student has no presupposed assumptions about how viewing different types of scenes affects working memory, so he formulates the null and alternative hypotheses as: H00 : μDD = 0 H11 : μDD ≠ 0 Assume that the data satisfy all of the required assumptions for a repeated-measures t test. The graduate student calculates the following statistics for his hypothesis test: Mean difference (MDD) 1.4 Estimated population standard deviation of the differences (s) 1.6 Estimated standard error of the mean differences (sMDMD) 0.2667 Degrees of freedom (df) 35 The t statistic 5.25 The critical values of t…
What do the results mean? What type of error could you be making and what would that mean? Redo as a one-tail test, expecting a decrease in the number of headaches. Pay attention to what changes and what doesn’t and why.
Consider the relationship between p-values and significance levels. a. Explain why a value of z-statistic that is significant at the 1% level in a one-sided test is always significant at the 5% level. b. Explain why the reverse is not true. If something is significant at the 5% level in a one-sided test it is not necessarily significant at the 1% level.
Is memory ability before a meal different compared to after a meal? Twelve people were given memory tests before their meal and then again after their meal. The data is shown below. Before 74 68 82 97 76 81 80 75 88 84 79 91 After 76 68 85 94 79 88 83 72 90 87 79 90 Assume the distribution of the differences is normal. What can be concluded at the 0.05 level of significance? (d = score before - score after) p-Value Interpretation: If the average memory ability is the same before and after a meal and if another twelve randomly selected people are tested, then there is a: _____________percent chance that this new group would either perform at least:____________points better on the test before the meal than on the test after the meal or at least points better on the test after the meal than on the test before the meal. Level of significance interpretation: If the average memory ability is the same before and after a meal and if many groups of twelve people are tested before…
The number of hours per week that the television is turned on is determined for each family in a sample. The mean of the data is 31 hours and the median is 27.2hours. Twenty-four of the families in the sample turned on the television for 16 hours or less for the week. The 8th percentile of the data is 16 hours. Based on the given information, determine if the following statement is true or false. The first quartile is less than 16 hours.
To study how well rats can learn, behavioral scientists used a sample of rats in a maze experiment. Each rat had to find itway through a maze to reach a treat at the end. The rat was timed on its first trial run and again on its tenth eighth trial run. The difference in the times was recorded for each rat. Which of the following is the most appropriate procedure for the scientists to use? A- A matched pair t-interval for a mean diffderence B- A two sample t interval for a difference between means C- a one sample t interval for a sample difference D-A one sample z interval for a population proportion E- A two sample z interval for a difference between proportions
A marketing director developed a short television commercial to improve the image of a company. The commercial was tested on 20 people. People’s attitudes about the company were measured with a questionnaire when they first came in for the experiment and then again with the same questionnaire after viewing the commercial. Which statistical test would be best to determine if there is a significant difference between measures? one-sample t-test dependent samples t-test independent samples t-test ANOVA
A researcher believe that increasing attention given to children will improve academic performance. He invites parents to volunteer during school to help the children with their activities. At the end of the school year he compares the academic performance of these children with the mean and standard deviation of historical rate on academic achievement. Which statistic test is appropriate for this study and why? (By using the decision tree). A. Z test B. Single sample t test C. Two independent samples t test D. Two related samples t test E. One way between subjects ANOVA F. Correlation
