An educator believes that new directed reading activities in the classroom will help elementary school pupils improve some aspects of their reading ability. She arranges for two third grade classes of students to take part in these activities. A third class of students in the same school is treated as control and does not take part in the reading activities. At the end of 8 weeks, all students are given a Degree of Reading Power (DRP) test, which measures the aspects of reading ability that the treatment is designed to improve. The educator wishes to see if the directed reading program increases scores on the DRP test. You will find output from a statistical package below.

A gym wishes to evaluate the effectiveness of its programs. When a new member joins the gym, they meet with a trainer who designs a recommended routine based on the member’s current fitness and their goals. The recommended routines can be classified into high, medium, or low effort. Historically, 68% of the new members get a high effort routine, 21% get a medium effort routine, and the rest get a low effort routine. After the first six months as members, the gym surveys the members’ adherence to the recommended routine. The gym classifies a member’s performance as optimal if they follow the recommended routine for the six months, or as inferior otherwise. According to the historical results of the survey, 84% of the members with a low effort routine, 22% of the members with a medium effort routine, and 69% of the members with a high effort routine report optimal performance. After the first six months of joining the gym, a member can obtain different results: they can either…
Dr. Mackintosh believes a new olfactory therapy would be more successful in promoting weight loss among obese patients. His patients are first weighed and then randomly assigned to olfactory therapy, dance therapy, or a control condition. At the end of the three weeks, the amount of weight lost is recorded. The results indicate no significant difference in the amount of weight lost between the three conditions. Identify the independent variable along with each level and the dependent variable.
There are 64% of US adults who own a smartphone, up from 35% in 2011. Smartphones have become an important way for Americans to communicate, go online, access and share information. The Pew Research Center surveyed 1635 people in November, 2014 on smartphone ownership. Their goal was to learn how Americans use their smartphone devices. Identify the population and the sample.
Peter Boag, studied the inheritance of beak depth in Galapagos finches by looking at the relationship between parent beak depth (in mm) and that of their offspring. He collected two sets of parent offspring data, once in 1976 and again in 1978. For both years he followed birds to determine which pairs belonged to which nests. Most of the parents had been previously captured so their beak depths were known. He then captured the offspring when they fledged and measured their beak depth. He calculated the "midparent" beak depth (the average beak depth of the two parents) and then compared that to beak depth of their offspring. Use regression analysis to estimate heritability for the trait beak depth from the Galapagos finches data in the above table.
A psychologist would like to examine the effects of different testing methods on the final performance of college students. One group has regular quizzes (n=4), one group has three large exams (n=4), and the third group only has a final exam (n=4). At the end of the course, the psychologist interviews each student to get a measure of the student’s overall knowledge of the material.

A researcher conducts a between subjects study examining how the brain chemical serotonin is related to aggression. One sample of rats serves as a control group and receives a placebo that does not affect normal levels of serotonin. A second sample of rats receives 100 mg of a drug that lowers brain levels of serotonin. A third sample of rats receives 250 mg of a drug that lowers brain levels of serotonin. Then, the researcher tests the animals by recording the number of aggressive responses each of the rats display. You want to see if the treatment had a significant impact on aggression levels. What statistical procedure would you use to analyze this data and why?

A doctor wanted to study the effect of four different treatments on mental health. A group of 100 adults experiencing depression volunteered for the study. The doctor randomly assigned one-fourth of them to each of four groups. Group 1 followed a specific exercise plan, group 2 followed a specific diet plan, group 3 followed an exercise and diet plan, and group 4 did not follow any plan. After 4 weeks, the doctor contacted each participant and asked them if they felt any better. The results are displayed in the table. The doctor would like to know if these data provide convincing evidence that the distribution of responses differs across the treatment groups in the population of all patients like these. The random condition is met. The 10% condition is not needed because random sampling did not take place. This table of expected counts shows that all expected counts are at least 5. What is the value of the chi-square test statistic? χ‑2 = 5.03 χ‑2 = 6.26 χ‑2 = 25.33 χ‑2 = 39.22
