A researcher wants to explore the relationship between two variables: Time 1 and Time 2. Time 1 421 390 459 384 403 Time 2 A. O Matched pairs B. O Inference for regression C. O Two independent samples 400 383 436 362 392 A group of student athletes was training for an obstacle course event by practicing a variety of exercises. Their coach wanted to know if the exercises were in fact related to their time to complete the obstacle course. Time 1 was each athlete's time (in seconds) for 20 repetitions of shuttle runs (running back and forth between 2 cones placed 25 meters apart) during training. Time 2 was the same athlete's time (in seconds) to complete the obstacle course during the competition. If the coach wants to see if there was an association between time to complete 20 shuttle runs during training (in seconds) and the time to complete the obstacle course during competition (in seconds), which of the following is the appropriate inference method to analyze these data?
Read through this scenario and look at the data that was collected. State the null and all possible research hypotheses. Review the results below (I used SPSS) and answer the questions that follow. Scenario: A researcher wants to see if gender and / or income affects the total amount of help given to a stranger who is sitting on the side of a busy road with a sign asking for help. The independent variables are gender, income, and the interaction of gender and income. The dependent variable is total help. He wants to know if one or both factors – or the interaction of the two - affects the total amount of help offered. Because he is analyzing two independent variables (gender and income), he used a factorial ANOVA. His results show the main effect of each of the independent variables on the dependent variable (total help) and the interaction effect. The researcher is using a 95% confidence interval which means that he wants to be at least 95% sure that his independent variables…
In a previous practice assignment, you learned about a study in which volunteers (who were all around 30 years of age) from the Chicago area wore light sensors to measure their exposure to sunshine. It was found that those who experienced more daylight had lower body mass indexes (BMIs). The study was observational. It was not an experiment, so conclusions about cause and effect could not be made. Let's redesign the observational study described above into an experimental study.

The first test a doctor would order to determine whether a person is infected with HIV (the virus that causes AIDS) is the ELISA test. It detects antibodies and antigens for HIV. A study in Statistical Science by J. Gastwirth estimated that, if the person is actually infected with HIV, this test produces a positive result 97.7% of the time. If a person is not infected with HIV, the test result is negative 92.6% of the time. According the the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC), an estimated 1.1 million Americans out of a population of 321 million were infected with HIV in 2015. Using the information above, determine the probability that a randomly selected person whose ELISA test is positive actually is infected with HIV? a. What is the probability that a randomly selected American is infected with HIV? b. Using the answer to part (a) and the conditional probabilities of positive and negative ELISA test results, fill out the contingency table below: ELISA Test Result…

let us say that the weightlifting supplement company informed you that how long a female weightlifter has been lifting impacts the amount of muscle mass they can gain. Suppose that you changed your data collection method from what you did in Problem 1. Now you randomly select one weightlifter from each group (supplement and placebo) that have been lifting for 39 to 40 months. Next, you randomly sample one weightlifter from each group that have been lifting for 37 to 38 months. Then, you continue this process until the 20th pair of weightlifters have lifted for 2 months or less. The data contains the whole body lean mass difference in pounds and training experience in months. Can you infer that the supplement group gained more muscle mass on average than the placebo group? Use α=0.05 for any hypothesis test. 1) State the research question in one sentence and use the question to determine the parameter we are using to conduct statistical inference. Describe this parameter in one sentence…
QUESTION 9 You are interested in seeing whether emotions impact decision making. You have three groups--a happy group, a sad group, and a neutral group. For the happy group there are 5 participants and the mean risky decision making score 5.0 with a standard deviation of 0.7. For the sad group there are 5 participants and the mean risky decision making score 5.4 with a standard deviation of 1.1. For the neutral group there are 5 participants and the mean risky decision making score 5.8 with a standard deviation of 2.8. The sum of squares between samples is equal to 1.6. The sum of squares within samples is equal to 38.0. What is the mean square between samples? Please do the calculations on the handout provided.
