Examine the results of a study' investigating whether fast food consumption increases one's concentration of phthalates, an ingredient in plastics which has been linked to multiple health problems including hormone disruption. The study included 8877 people who recorded all the food they ate over a 24-hour period and then provided a urine sample. Two specific phthalate byproducts were measured (in ng/mL) in the urine: DEHP and DINP. Find a 95 % confidence interval for the difference, µp – HN, in mean concentration between people who have eaten fast food in the last 24 hours and those who haven't. The mean concentration of DEHP in the 3095 participants who had eaten fast food was IF = 83.6 with sF = 194.7 while the mean for the 5782 participants who had not eaten fast food was IN = 59.1 with sN = 152.1. Round your answers to one decimal place. The 95 % confidence interval is i to i

Part 1 of 4 The restaurants of a fast food chain are primarily located in three regions of Arizona. The CEO of the chain wants to know if the average monthly revenue of the restaurants in each region are equal. The monthly revenues (in thousads of dollars) for this past month of the restaurants in each of the three regions are given below. Conduct an ANOVA test using a 5% level of significance to determine whether or not the average monthly revenues in the three regions are equal. Monthly Revenues of Restaurants in Region 1: 179, 183.3, 156.8, 155.1, 253, 105.4, 219, 134.3, 119.9, 193.1, 188.5, 188.4 Monthly Revenuse of Restaurants in Region 2: 158.7, 175.2, 187.8, 187.1, 118.1, 179.5, 195.1, 199.7, 349.6, 226.5, 253.7, 287.4, 172.8, 290.5, 149 Monthly Revenuse of Restaurants in Region 3: 215.4, 199.8, 360.7, 273, 250, 214.2, 144.5, 165, 137, 187.6 Step 1: State the null and alternative hypotheses.

Cadmium, a heavy metal, is toxic to animals. Mushrooms, however, are able to absorb and accumulate cadmium at high concentrations. A government set a safety limit for cadmium in dry vegetables at 0.5 parts per million (ppm). The cadmium levels in a random sample of one species of edible mushroom are in the accompanying data set. At the 10% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean cadmium level in this species of mushroom is greater than the government's recommended limit of 0.5ppm? Assume that the population standard deviation of cadmium levels in this species of mushroom is 0.45 ppm. Preliminary data analyses indicate that applying the z-test is reasonable.

OxyContin is a drug used to treat pain, but it is well know for its addictiveness and danger. In a critical trial, among subjects treated with OxyContin, 52 developed nausea and 175 did not. Among other subjects given placebos, 5 developed nausea and 40 did not. Use a 0.05 significance level to test for a difference between the rates of nausea for those treated with Oxycontin and those given a placebo! Question: state the conclusion
Á study was conducted that examined the relationship between alcohol consumption and risk of heart attack. In all, 417 men, age 40 or older, were tracked over ten years and the number of that experienced a heart attack was recorded. The participants were grouped by those who totally abstained from alcohol and those that drank moderately. For the results given in the table below, use the chi-squared test to find the p value for NHST at the .05 level. (In SPSS use the Yates continuity correction value.)

A clinical trial is planned to compare an experimental medication designed to lower blood pressure to a placebo. Before starting the trial, a pilot study is conducted involving eight participants. The objective of the study is to assess how systolic blood pressure changes over time untreated. Systolic blood pressures are measured at baseline and again 4 weeks later Is there a statistically significant difference in blood pressures over time? Run the test at a 5% level of significance. Give each of the following to receive full credit: 1) the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses; 2) the appropriate test; 3) the decision rule; 4) the calculation of the test statistic; and 5) your conclusion including a comparison to alpha or the critical value. You MUST show all your work to receive full credit. Partial credit is available. Baseline 4 weeks 135 136 150 142 143 135 160 158 152 155 143 140 133 128 146 129

Is narcissism a more common personality trait today than it was a few decades ago? It is known that the mean population score on the Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI) for students attending University of South Alabama around 20 years ago was μ= 15 (Twenge, 2010). Interested in the narcissism levels of students in the year 2020, a researcher administers the NPI to a random sample of 25 University of Alabama sophomores this Spring term. The mean NPI score from the researcher’s sample of sophomores is M = 16.5, with s = 3.4. 1. Write the null and alternative hypotheses in symbols. Possible symbols for your answer: H0, H1, μ, M, σ. 2. Calculate the standard error. 3. Find the critical value for the test statistic, assuming alpha = .05 (Use largest [i.e., most conservative] value if exact value not given in the chart) a) 2.064 b) 1.96 c) 1.98 d) 2.000
Consider the following measurements of blood hemoglobin concentrations (in g/dL) from three human populations at different geographic locations: population1 = [ 14.7 , 15.22, 15.28, 16.58, 15.10 ] population2 = [ 15.66, 15.91, 14.41, 14.73, 15.09] population3 = [ 17.12, 16.42, 16.43, 17.33] Perform ANOVA to check if any of these populations have different mean hemoglobin concentrations. (Assume that all the ANOVA requirements such as normality, equal variances and random samples are met.) After you perform ANOVA perform a Tukey-Kramer post-hoc test at a significance level of 0.05 to see which populations actually have different means. As usual, round all answers to two digits after the decimal point. (Make sure you round off to at least three digits any intermediate results in order to obtain the required precision of the final answers.) For any questions, which ask about differences in means or test statistics, which depend on differences in means provide absolute values. In…
A researcher wanted to examine whether type of dog food (freeze dried meat vs generic brand kibble) would affect dogs’ attention span. The researcher hypothesized that dogs who ate freeze dried meat would have longer attention spans than those who ate generic brand kibble. The researcher used a single sample of 13 subjects, that took part in both treatment conditions. The researcher set the alpha level at .01. The mean of the difference scores (MD)was 7.0 and the SSD for the difference in attention spans was 144. What is the calculated test statistic to the nearest thousandth? Be sure to put the positive or negative sign in front of it. Note: SHOW ALL WORK!!! Based on your work above, do you reject or retain the null? reject retain Based on your conclusion regarding the null, was there a treatment effect? Yes No
