In a study conducted to examine the quality of fish after 7 days in ice storage, ten raw fish of the same kind and approximately the same size were caught and prepared for ice storage. The fish were placed in ice storage at different times after being caught. A measure of fish quality was given to each fish after 7 days in ice storage. The sample data are shown below, where "Time" is the number of hours after being caught that the fish was placed in ice storage and "Fish Quality" is the measure given to each fish after 7 days in ice storage (higher numbers mean better quality). Which variable would be considered the response variable? Fish Time: 0 0 2 3 5 6 7 9 11 12 Fish Quality 8.5 8.4 8.0 8.1 7.8 7.6 7.3 7.0 6.8 6.7 Choose the correct answer below. A.Fish Quality B.Time C.Neither variable could be considered a response variable.
The Economist collects data each year on the price of a Big Mac in various countries around the world. The price of a Big Mac for a sample of McDonalds restaurants in Europe in May 2009 resulted in the following Big Mac prices (after conversion to U.S. dollars): 3.80 5.89 4.92 3.88 2.65 5.57 6.39 3.24The mean price of a Big Mac in the U.S. in May 2009 was $3.57. For purposes of this exercise, assume it is reasonable to regard the sample as representative of European McDonalds restaurants. Does the sample provide convincing evidence that the mean May 2009 price of a Big Mac in Europe is greater than the reported U.S. price? Test the relevant hypotheses using a = .05. Assume a normal distribution of the data. x = S= Ho: μ = Ha: Select an answer (Put in the correct symbol and value) α= P-value: = Based on the above we choose t✓ Select an answer Question Help: Post to forur Reject the null hypothesis B
The true proportion of voters in favor of a candidate is unknown. A random sample of 329 voters results in 104 "Yes" responses (i.e. in favor of the candidate). Find the point estimate for the true population proportion of voters who favor the candidate.
A marketing firm is doing research for an Internet-based company. It wants to appeal to the age group of people who spend the most money online. The company wants to know if there is a difference in the mean amount of money people spend per month on Internet purchases depending on their age bracket. The marketing firm looked at two age groups, 18-24 years and 25-30 years, and collected the data shown in the following table. Let Population 1 be the amount of money spent per month on Internet purchases by people in the 18-24 age bracket and Population 2 be the amount of money spent per month on Internet purchases by people in the 25-30age bracket. Assume that the population variances are not the same.

A randomly sampled group of patients at a major U.S. regional hospital became part of a nutrition study on dietary habits. Part of the study consisted of a 50-question survey asking about types of foods consumed. Each question was scored on a scale from one (most unhealthy behavior) to five (most healthy behavior). The answers were summed and averaged. The population of interest is the patients at the regional hospital. A prior survey of patients had found the mean score for the population of patients to be μ=2.9 After careful review of these data, the hospital nutritionist decided that patients could benefit from nutrition education. The current survey was implemented after patients were subjected to this education, and it produced the following sample statistics for the 15 patients sampled: x¯=3.5 and s=1.2 We would like to know if the education improved nutrition behavior. We test the hypotheses H0:μ=2.9 versus Ha:μ>2.9. The tt test to be used has the test statistic: Answer:
Your statistics instructor often ponders the relationship between commute time and job satisfaction while driving back and forth to campus. Your instructor hypothesizes that people with a shorter commute time will have higher degrees of job satisfaction. Randomly sampling 600 Valley commuters, the instructor finds the following data listed in frequencies: Table 2: Commuters by Length of Commute and Job Satisfaction Job Satisfaction Number Who Commute 20 Minutes or Less Number Who Commute 21 to 40 Minutes Number Who Commute 41 Minutes or More Total Number for Each Level of Job Satisfaction Dissatisfied 10 60 140 210 Neutral 45 59 51 155 Satisfied 145 60 30 235 Total Number for Each Commute Time Range 200 179 221 1. Change frequencies to column percentages.
A researcher hypothesizes that different colors of cars result in different average speeds. To test this claim, she took a random sample of 20 people who own 4 different colors of colors of cars (n = 20, N = 80, G = 4), and she then tracks their average speed on the highway for a week of driving. The following ANOVA table has some of her results. Please help her answer her research questions by completing the following ANOVA table below and answering the follow-up questions. Be sure to label your answers with the appropriate letter and show all your work!

An industrial-organizational psychologist is interested in discovering the relationship between the tempo of preferred music that is played in a workplace and employee mood. Employees chose their favorite song on an MP3 player and then reported their moods when listening to that piece of music. A total of 10 participants were asked individually and brought in their own MP3 players; the least number of songs on an employee's MP3 player was 350. The sample data are presented as a scatterplot below. The psychologist wants to use a Pearson correlation coefficient to analyze the relationship. Considering the assumptions for this statistic, which of these statements is the correct course of action? A. The researcher has chosen the wrong statistic to represent this relationship. B. The researcher has violated a robust assumption and should be able to calculate r. C. The researcher has chosen the right statistic because all the assumptions are valid. D. The researcher has violated a…
