An article in Technometrics ["Two-Way Random Effects Analyses and Gauge R&RStudies" (1999, Vol. 41(3), pp. 202-211)] studied the capability of a gauge bymeasuring the weight of paper. The data for repeated measurements of one sheetof paper are in the following table. Construct a 95% one-sided upper confidenceinterval for the standard deviation of these measurements. Check the assumptionof normality of the data and comment on the assumptions for the confidenceinterval.Observations3.481 3.448 3.485 3.475 3.4723.477 3.472 3.464 3.472 3.4703.470 3.470 3.477 3.473 3.474

An investigator tests a claim that vitamin C alters the severity of common colds. To eliminate variability due to different family environments, pairs of children from the same family are randomly assigned to either a treatment group that receives vitamin C or a control group that receives a placebo. Each child estimates, on a 10 point scale, the severity of their colds during the school year. The following scores were obtained from 10 pairs of children. What should the investigator conclude?

6. Binge-watching a television show might not be the best way to enjoy a television series (Horvath et al., 2017). Participants in an experiment were in a group that either watched an entire tv series during daily one-hour sessions or watched all the episodes during a single binge session. Participants were asked to rate their enjoyment of the t.v. series on a scale of 0-100. Data like those observed by the author are listed below: Binge-watched 87 Daily-watched 84 71 100 73 87 86 97 78 92 a. Is there a difference in the level of enjoyment based on whether the series was binge-watched or watched on a daily basis? Use a two-tailed test at the a = 0.05 level of significance? b. Do the data analysis in SPSS in addition to your hand calculations. Attach a printout of your results.
An article in Knee Surgery Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, "Effect of provider volume on resource utilization for surgical procedures," (2005, Vol. 13, pp. 273-279) showed a mean time of 116 minutes and a standard deviation of 18 minutes for ACL reconstruction surgery for high-volume hospitals (with more than 300 such surgeries per year). If a high-volume hospital needs to schedule 10 surgeries, what is the mean and variance of the total time to complete these surgeries? Assume the times of the surgeries are independent and normally distributed. Mean = i Variance = i minutes minutes²
The National Cancer Institute conducted a 2-year study to determine whether cancer death rates for areas near nuclear power plants are higher than for areas without nuclear facilities. A spokesperson for the Cancer Institute said, "From the data at hand, there was no convincing evidence of any increased risk of death from any of the cancers surveyed due to living near nuclear facilities." Let p denote the proportion of the population in areas near nuclear power plants who die of cancer during a given year. The researchers at the Cancer Institute have considered the null and alternative hypotheses below: А. Họ: p = value for areas without nuclear facilities Hạ: p> value for areas without nuclear facilities According to the spokesperson's statement, what is the conclusion of the National Cancer Institute? Select one of the following: Reject Ho Fail to reject Ho Reject Ha Fail to reject Ha
Oishi and Shigehiro (2010) report that people who move from home to home frequently as children tend to have lower than average levels of well-being as adults. To further examine this relationship, a psychologist obtains a sample of n = 12 young adults who each experienced five or more different homes before they were 16 years old. These participants were given a standardized well-being questionnaire for which the general population has an average score of µ = 40. The well-being scores for this sample are as follows: 38, 37, 41, 35, 42, 40, 33, 33, 36, 38, 32, 39 On the basis of this sample, is well-being for frequent movers significantly different from well-being in the general population? Use a two-tailed test with α = .05. The null hypothesis is H₀: . Complete the following table. M SS s² sMM t Critical Values Significant? Compute the estimated Cohen’s d to measure the size of the difference.…
A brokerage firm wants to conduct a study to see if there is a linear relationship between the size of an account and the number of trades conducted each year. What would be the most appropriate procedure to use to analyze data to answer this question? Only choose a test that handles multiple comparisons if such a test is needed. O ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) O Regression Test of Slope or Correlation O Test for a Difference of Proportions O Chi-square test of association O Test for a Difference of Means
Prices of basic commodities are often greatly affected by typhoons. During the aftermath of recent typhoon, the prices of tilapia were reported to have been sold at ₱20 – ₱25 more per kilogram at local wet markets. However, the price was back to its normal mean price at ₱100 per kilo one week after. If a random sample of 10 tilapia sales transactions from local wet markets have prices (in pesos per kilo) of 107, 115, 130, 95, 100, 105, 98, 116, 104, 100. Assuming that the tilapia prices are normally distributed, is there sufficient evidence to say that the mean price of tilapia in these markets is greater than ₱100? Use a 0.05 level of significance. State the null and alternative hypotheses: Ho: ________ (symbols) Ho: _______________________________ (statement) Ha: _________ (symbols) Ha: _______________________________ (statement)
Boys and girls: The National Health Statistics Reports reported that a sample of 310 one-year-old boys had a mean weight of 25,3 pounds with a standard deviation of 3.3 pounds. In addition, a sample of 286 one-year-old girls had a mean weight of 24.3 pounds with a standard deviation of 3.6 pounds. Part: 0/2 Part 1 of 2 Construct a 98% confidence interval for the difference between the mean weights. Let u, denote the mean weight of one-year-old boys. Use the TI-84 plus calculator and round the answers to one decimal place. A 98% confidence interval for the difference between the mean weights is
