A student surveyed a random sample of 301 students in her large college and collected the data in the table below, on the variables class year and favorite team sport. Perform a chi-square test to determine if the variables class year and favorite team sport are independent. Basketball Soccer Baseball/Softball Other Total Freshman 12 41 11 1 65 Sophomore 12 43 17 7 79 Junior 10 44 10 11 75 Senior 10 49 18 5 82 Total 44 177 56 24 301 What is the test statistic for the chi-squared test? (round to 3 dp) . The p-value for this test is . (If p-value <0.001, enter 0, otherwise report to 4 dp) Select the appropriate conclusion for this test at a significance level of α=0.05.A. Reject H0H0. We have significant evidence that class year and team sports are not independent.B. Fail to reject H0H0. We do not have significant evidence that class year and team sports are not independent.
AD (Alzheimer's disease) causes progressive cognitive impairment. A diagnostic blood test for AD was proposed. An evaluation of the blood text involved fifty known AD patients and forty control who did not have AD. Of those who had AD, forty eight tested positive on the blood test and two tested negative. Of those without AD, three tested positive on the blood test and thirty seven tested negative. a. Complete the table below:
High levels of cholesterol in the blood are associated with higher risks of heart attacks. Will using a drug to lower blood cholesterol reduce heart attacks? The Helsinki Heart Study recruited middle-aged men with high cholesterol but no history of other serious medical problems to investigate this question. The volunteer subjects were assigned at random to one of the two treatments: 2051 men took the drug gemfibrozil to reduce their cholesterol levels, and a control group of 2030 men took a placebo. During the next five years, 56 men in the gemfibrozil group and 84 in the placebo group had heart attacks. Is the difference statistically significant at the alpha = 0.01 level?
A simple random sample of size n = 200 drivers with a valid driver's license is asked if they drive an American-made automobile. Of the 200 drivers surveyed, 118 responded that they drive an American-made automobile. Determine if a majority of those with a valid driver's license drive an American-made automobile at the a = 0.05 level of significance. ..... What type of variable is "drive an American-made automobile, or not"? A. Qualitative with two possible outcomes B. Discrete C. Continuous…
A study was conducted to determine whether big-city and small-town dwellers differed in their helpfulness to strangers. In this study, the investigators rang the doorbells of strangers living in a large City or small towns in the vicinity. They explained they had misplaced the address of a friend living in the neighbourhood and asked to use the phone. The following data show the number of individuals who admitted or did not admit the strangers (the investigators) into their homes: Helpfulness to strangers Admitted strangers into their home Didnot admit strangers into their home Big city dwellers 60 90 Small town dwellers 70 30 State the dependent and independent variable Is this a directional or non directional
The drug Finasteride is marketed as Propecia to help protect against male pattern baldness, and it also may protect against prostate cancer. A large sampleof healthy men over age 55 were randomly assigned to receive either a daily Finasteride pill or a placebo. The study lasted seven years and the men had annual check-ups and a biopsy at the end of the study. Prostate cancer was found in 804 of 4368 men taking Finasteride and in 1145 of the 4692 men taking a placebo. the 95% confidence interval for the risk difference is (-0.077, -0.043). Compared to this confidence interval, a 98% confidence interval for the risk difference is: a.) wider b.) there is not enough information provided to decide c.) half the width d.) the same width e.) narrower
Capsaicin content in red habanero chilli (Capsicum chinense Jacq.) is affected by the drying process. An experiment was conducted to determine the effect of using different drying temperatures (60 °C, 70 °C, and 80 °C) using an oven. Samples of red habanero chilli were procured. Upon checking, there were varying sizes of chilli and thus the experimenter grouped the samples according to size. Drying temperatures were then randomly assigned within each 8 hours. The capsaicin content was measured for each sample. The partial analysis of variance table is shown below: group for Source of Variation Fc p-value Size 2.1654 0.1560 Temperature 8.6013 0.0034 What is the maximum number of orthogonal contrasts that may be constructed for the post- hoc analysis of the effect of temperature? A. 0 В. 1 C. 2 D. 3
A case-control study was conducted to find out whether meditation practice was negatively associated with blood pressure among adults. Investigators identified 100 adults with high blood pressure. The investigators recruited 400 people without normal or low blood pressure into the control group. All participants were given a questionnaire asking them whether they practiced meditation during the previous year. Among participants with high blood pressure, 25 reported that they practiced meditation during the previous year; a total of 125 control participants reported meditation. a. Create a 2x2 table for exposition (meditation) and health problem (high blood pressure). b. Calculate the odds ratio of having high blood pressure relative to those who meditated during the last year relative to those who did not. c. Interpret this odds ratio.
A researcher conducts a between-subjects study to determine whether low levels of the neurochemical serotonin leads to an increase in 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 a drug that lowers brain levels of serotonin. Using an alpha level of a = .05, the researcher then tests the animals by recording the number of aggressive responses each of the rats display. The data are as follows: a.) Step 1: State the Hypotheses Ho: H₁: Control n = 10 M = 14 SS=180.5 b.) Step 2: Determine the critical region and draw it on the distribution above: df = > *critical SM₁-M₂ Low Serotonin n = 15 M = 19 SS = 130.0 c.) Step 3: Calculate the test statistic using the provided sample data: tobs d.) Step 4: Make a decision. Circle one: Reject Null (Ho) or Fail to Reject Null (Ho) e.) State your conclusions about the research scenario in sentence form: d= f.) What is the estimated effect…
The drug Finasteride is marketed as Propecia to help protect against male pattern baldness, and it also may protect against prostate cancer. A large sampleof healthy men over age 55 were randomly assigned to receive either a daily Finasteride pill or a placebo. The study lasted seven years and the men had annual check-ups and a biopsy at the end of the study. Prostate cancer was found in 804 of 4368 men taking Finasteride and in 1145 of the 4692 men taking a placebo. A 95% confidence interval for the risk difference (proportion of subjects on Finasteride who develop cancer - proportion of subjects on placebo who develop cancer) is (-0.077, -0.043). Does this confidence interval provide evidence of an association between development of cancer and taking Finasteride? Briefly justify your response.
A 2017 random study of 10,478 Bangladesh children tracked the washing habits of the children's mothers via random survey to understand the relationship of these habits with childhood wasting. The data provided include responses from mothers to two items in this survey. The first variable represents a household's access to food: food secure, mildly food insecure, moderately food insecure, or severely food insecure. The second variable represents the mothers' responses when asked whether they use soap when washing clothes. These researchers wish to study if there is a relationship between washing habits and food security. Are the conditions for a chi-square test of independence met? Did not use Used soap soap Food secure 921 Mildly food insecure 5591 81 200 Moderately 89 food insecure 203 Severely 825 Food insecure 2568 Not enough information No Yes
