Among a clinic's patients having high blood cholesterol levels of at least 240 milliliters per deciliter of blood serum, the previous drug they are on has no changes in their blood cholesterol levels. Volunteers were asked to test a new drug designed to reduce blood cholesterol. A group of 40 volunteers were given the drug for 60 days, and the changes in their blood cholesterol levels were noted. If the average change was a decrease of 6.8 with a sample standard deviation of 12.1, what conclusions can we draw? Use the 5 percent level of significance.

A researcher would like to examine how the chemical tryptophan, contained in foods such as turkey, can affect mental alertness. A sample of n = 9 college students is obtained and each student’s performance on a familiar video game is measured before and after eating a traditional Thanksgiving dinner including roast turkey. The average score dropped by M = 14 points after the meal with SS = 1152 for the difference scores. A. Is there is significant difference in performance before eating versus after eating?

A neuroscientist wants to know if physical exercise changes reaction speed in elderly people. A total of 14 older volunteer participants were found. One sample of n = 7 subjects received an exercise treatment, while the second sample (n = 7) of participants were given stretching lessons for the same amount of time per week. Reaction speed was tested on a computer program after six weeks of treatment. Reaction speed was measured in milliseconds. Data shown below. What is the type of statistical test you could use on these data? _____________________ Why this test? ___________________________________________________________ What is the I.V.? ___________________ What is the D.V.? ______________________ Use the data below to fill in the blanks to compute your tcalculated. stretch group exercise group nstretch = ____ dfstretch = _____ nexercise…
In addition to therapy, anti-depressant drugs are used in the treatment of depression. The data below are from a study comparing two anti-depressant drugs. A baseline measurement for symptomatic behavior for depression is taken. After treatment with medication, another measurement taken. The data given in the table is for improvement which is for the reduction in symptomatic behavior.
For healthy adults, the mean pH level is µ = 7.4, a new drug for arthritis has been developed. However, it is thought that this drug may change blood pH. A random sample of 33 patients with arthritis took the drug for three months. Blood tests showed that the sample mean from these 33 patients was a pH of 8.0 and it is known that o = 2.3. (Note, there is no unit for this type of data). Use a = 0.05 level of significance to test the claim that the drug has increased the mean pH level of the blood. If we use the classical approach, what would the criterion (step 3) be? O -1.645 or less O -2.33 or less 1.645 or more O 2.33 or more
In North America, between 100 million and 1 billion birds die each year by crashing into windows on buildings, more than any other human-related cause. This figure represents up to 5% of all birds in the area. One possible solution is to construct windows angled downward slightly so that they reflect the ground rather than an image of the sky to a flying bird. An experiment by Klem et al. (2004) compared the number of birds that died as a result of vertical windows, windows angled 20 degrees off vertical, and windows angled 40 degrees off vertical. The angles were randomly assigned with equal probability to six windows and changed daily; assume for this exercise that windows and window locations were identical in every respect except angle. Over the course of the experiment, 30 birds were killed by windows in the vertical orientation, 15 were killed by windows set at 20 degrees off vertical, and 8 were killed by windows set at 40 degrees off vertical. a. Clearly state an appropriate…
Firm handshakes seem to be related to shyness. In a sample of n = 12 people who were rated having firm handshakes, their average score on shyness was M = 43 with SS = 1170. Another sample of n = 8 people rated having weak handshakes, their average shyness score was M = 61 with SS =. 990. Use the sample data to estimate how much difference there is in shyness between people with firm vs. weak handshakes. Please do a point estimate and 90% confidence interval estimate.

We're interested in whether warm milk helps people go to sleep faster. We have a lab with EEG monitors that will provide us with data as to how many minutes elapse before someone falls asleep. (People spend the night in the lab.) In the first experimental condition, participants fall asleep as they usually do, without warm milk. In the second condition, participants drink 6 oz. of warm milk before going to sleep. Data for 5 participants is shown in the table below. Choose the appropriate type of t- test (independent samples or paired samples) and conduct the t-test and hypothesis test. Be sure to show all of your calculations either on your scratch work or in this text box. DO: Include the t-test value and your hypothesis test conclusion in this test box, not just in your scratch work.

A government's department of transportation requires tire manufacturers to provide performance information on tire sidewalls to help prospective buyers make their purchasing decisions. One very important piece of information is the tread wear index, which indicates the tire's resistance to tread wear. A tire with a grade of 200 should last twice as long, on average, as a tire with a grade of 100. A consumer organization wants to test the actual tread wear index of a brand name of tires that claims "graded 200" on the sidewall of the tire. A random sample of n = 18 indicates a sample mean tread wear index of 195.6 and a sample standard deviation of 21.4
Algal blooms can have negative effects on an ecosystem by dominating its phytoplankton communities. Gonyostomum semen is a nuisance alga infesting many parts of northern Europe. Could the overall biomass of G. semen be controlled by grazing zooplankton species? A research team examined the relationship between the net growth rate of G. semen and the number of Daphnia magna grazers introduced in test tubes. Net growth rate was computed by comparing the initial and ﬁnal abundance of G. semen in the experiment, with a negative value indicative of a decrease in abundance. The table contains the findings. Number of D. magnagrazers 1 2 3 4 5 6 Net growth rate of G. semen -1.9 -2.5 -2.2 -3.9 -4.1 -4.3 Find the correlation, ?. Use decimal notation. (Enter your answer rounded to three decimal places.)
