Example#1; A researcher wishes to examine whether timeof day (morning versusafternoon) affects the memory of older and younger participants. He obtains a sample of 40 older individuals and 40 younger individuals and gives them a passage to read. They are later given a test over the passage (scores on the test could range from O to 30). HaJfofthe individuals are randomly assigned to read the passage and take the test in the morning, and the other half do so in the afternoon. The data are reported in the table below (the numbers represent mean test scores for each group; that is, “M" is mean). Morning Testing М-15 Afternoon Testing M=8 М-20 Older Adults Younger Adults M= 16 6. Does there appear to be a main effect of age? 7. Does there appear to be an interaction between age and time of day? (Hint: Draw a line graph)

A researcher is comparing the effectiveness of three devices designed to help people who snore. There are 210 people who snore participating in the experiment. Using a table of random digits starting from the first row and column, the researcher will randomly place the participants into three equally sized treatment groups suitable for comparison. Which number range would be needed to label the subjects correctly? O 0-2 O 1-3 O 000-210 O 001-210
A warehouse manager wants to know if there is an association between the shift worked and being on time for work. To investigate, he selects a random sample of 70 workers and classifies each one according to the shift they worked most recently and whether they were on time for work. He was unable to classify a substantial number of people as being on time, so he classified those individuals as unknown. The data are displayed in the table. The manager would like to know if these data provide convincing evidence of an association between the shift worked and being on time in the large population of all workers at this warehouse. The random and 10% conditions are met. Is the Large Counts condition met? Yes, the smallest expected count is 5, so all expected counts are at least 5. Yes, the smallest expected count is 8.54, so all expected counts are at least 5. No, the smallest expected count is 2.56, so the expected counts are not all at least 5. No, the smallest expected count is…
A report describes a survey of 251 adult Americans. Participants in the survey were asked how often they disinfect their phone and were asked to respond with one of the following categories: more than once a week, once a week, every other, week, every three weeks, or less often than every three weeks. For this group, 9% responded more than once a week, 52% responded once a week, 26% responded every other week, 6% responded every three weeks, and 7% responded less often than every three weeks. Fill in the table below with the relative frequency distributions. How Often? Relative Frequency More than once a week Once a week Every other week Every three weeks Less often than every three weeks
Microsoft Word -... 56% of students entering four-year colleges receive a degree within six years. Is this percent larger than for students who play intramural sports? 170 of the 278 students who played intramural sports received a degree within six years. What can be concluded at the level of significance of a = 0.10? a. For this study, we should use Select an answer b. The null and alternative hypotheses would be: Select an answer ✓ Ho: ? H₁: ? Select an answer (please enter a decimal) (Please enter a decimal) (please show your answer to 3 decimal places.) c. The test statistic ? ✓ = d. The p-value = e. The p-value is ? a f. Based on this, we should Select an answer the null hypothesis. g. Thus, the final conclusion is that ... (Please show your answer to 4 decimal places.) O The data suggest the populaton proportion is significantly larger than 56% at a = 0.10, so there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the population proportion of students who played intramural sports who…
Economy in Recession? The Quinnipiac University Poll conducts nationwide surveys as a public service and for research. This problem is based on the results of one such poll. Independent simple random samples of registered Democrats, Republicans, and Independents were asked, “Do you think the United States economy is in a recession now?” Of the 628Democrats sampled, 220 responded “yes,” as did 349 of the 471 Republicans sampled and 342 of the 646 Independents sampled. At the 1% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that a difference exists in the percentages of registered Democrats, Republicans, and Independents who thought the U.S. economy was in a recession at the time?
A high school track coach wanted to test whether giving the students an energy drink could affect performance during the 100 meter race. The coach split the 26 boys into two equal sized groups, where Group 1 was given the energy drink and Group 2 was not. The 100 meter race times were recorded during practice and shown in the table below. What inference can be made about the results? Group 1 Group 2 12.2 13 12.5 12.3 13.3 12.8 12.9 13 13 13.8 12.1 13 13 13 13 13 12.1 13 13 13 12.1 13 12.8 13 13 12.6 Mean: 12.7 Mean: 13 Since the simulation shows ( many cases or free cases )? where a mean difference of ( solve for this answer ) or less occurred when the groups were re-randomized, it can be inferred that the mean difference observed in the study was ( very possibly or very unlikely ) ?due to the random assignment of participants into groups, so the results of the study are (…

A movie director who combines dark humor and neo-western in his films is curious about gender preferences about his movies. His team randomly sampled 12 male and 14 female movie fans and had them score one of his movies after watching it. Here are the scores: Males: 85 59 90 81 90 88 87 87 64 82 87 63Females: 79 79 79 83 76 77 74 85 69 75 82 77 72 63 In order to investigate whether there is enough evidence to conclude that males actually like his movies more, the test statistic is Blank 1. Fill in the blank, read surrounding text.and the p-value is Blank 2. Fill in the blank, read surrounding text.. (Hint:Assume the populations are Normal and variances are equal, Use the mean of males as Mu1)
Pretend you have the following data for 16 subjects in a study designed to determine whether strong coffee speeds neural processing, in this case defined as reaction time in a simple memory task, with lower numbers reflecting faster processing.

A doctor wants to determine if a new medication for cholesterol is more effective than the previous medication. The doctor asks her patients if they would like to take part in a study for a new medication, and 30 patients currently taking medication for cholesterol volunteer to participate. Which of the following would be an appropriate procedure for this experiment? The doctor needs to randomly assign 15 patients to the new medication and 15 to the original medication to even out the variability between the patients. The doctor needs to assign the first 15 patients to the new medication and 15 to the original medication to even out the variability between patients. The doctor needs to let the 30 patients choose which medication they are going to take through use of a survey to determine whether they want to participate in the experiment. The doctor needs to randomly assign the 30 patients to the new medication to even out the variability between the patients and to determine if…
