21.6 Heat resistance in rice, continued. Excercise 21.2 investigated a genetic model oh heat resistance in rice plants. Software gives a P-value of 0.397. Interpret this result. Can you conclude that the distribution of heat-resistant phenotypes in F2 follows a dominant-recessive model (75%~ 25%)? EXAMPLE 21.2Righting behavior of aphidsPea aphids (Acyrthosiphon pisum) are small, wingless, sap-sucking insects that liveon plants. They evade predators (such as ladybugs) by dropping off. A study exam-ined the mechanism of aphid drops. Researchers hung live aphids upside downfrom delicate tweezers and then released them. The videotaped drops showed that19 of the 20 aphids landed on their legs.? Is this evidence that live aphids landright side up (on their legs) more often than chance alone would predict? side. Therefore, the relevant null hypothesis isTe this scenario, aphids can land either on their legs or on their back. If chancevas at work, we would expect aphids to be equally likely to land on either1and Pback =1Ho: Plegs =The alternative hypothesis is simply that Ho is not true.The goodness-of-fit test can assess a variety of null hypotheses that reflecthow we expect one categorical variable to be distributed in the target popula-tion. Because the variable is categorical, the parameters in Ho are populationproportions for the k possible outcomes (levels) making up the variable. The onlyconstraint on the null hypothesis for a goodness-of-fit test is that these k propor-tions sum to 1, so that Ho accounts for all possible outcomes. In Example 21.1the variable seed color had three possible outcomes (black, brown, pale) and thethree population proportions in Ho were 12/16, 3/16, and 1/16, which sum to 1.In Example 21.2 the variable landing side had only two possible outcomes (legs,back) and the two population proportions in Ho were 1/2 and 1/2.

You’re interested in knowing if a walking plus strength training exercise program results in a significantly greater increase in maxVo2 as compared to a walking only or a strength training only exercise program. Participants are randomly selected and then randomly assigned to one of three groups— walking plus strength training, walking only, or strength training only. After 6-months of exercise the participants are assessed. Which statistical analyses was used?
A bank wonders if omitting the annual fee for customers who charge at least $4000 per year would increase the amount of credit card usage (i. e. the total amount charged in a year). The bank makes this offer to a random sample of customers that have spent at least $4000. It then compares how much these customers charged this year with how much they charged last year. This data is found on sheet "CC Fees." Is there evidence at a 5% significance level to state that the mean amount increases when the "no-fee" offer was given?
In a study of 420,056 cell phone users, 100 subjects developed cancer of the brain or nervous system. Test the claim of a somewhat common belief that such cancers are affected by cell phone use. That is, test the claim that cell phone users develop cancer of the brain or nervous system at a rate that is different from the rate of 0.0340% for people who do not use cell phones. Because this issue has such great importance, use a 0.005 significance level. Identify the null hypothesis, alternative hypothesis, test statistic, P-value, conclusion about the null hypothesis, and final conclusion that addresses the original claim. Use the P-value method and the normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial distribution.
ester Hollar is vice president for human resources for a large manufacturing company. In recent years, he has noticed an increase in absenteeism that he thinks is related to the general health of the employees. Four years ago, in an attempt to improve the situation, he began a fitness program in which employees exercise during their lunch hour. To evaluate the program, he selected a random sample of eight participants and found the number of days each was absent in the six months before the exercise program began and in the six months following the exercise program. Below are the results. Employee Before After 1 6 5 2 6 2 3 7 1 4 7 3 5 4 3 6 3 6 7 5 3 8 6 7 At the 0.05 significance level, can he conclude that the number of absences has declined?

A researcher is interested in seeing what effect a particular type of drug has on an intelligence test, depending on the time of day that the pill is administered. The researcher computes a two-way ANOVA and plots the resulting cell means on the graph at right. Assuming that any obvious differences are statistically significant Is there a main effect for type of pill? Is there a main effect for time of day? Is there an interaction? 4. Describe the findings of the study in everyday terms
Researchers examine the association between the fluoridation of water and the prevention of tooth decay by comparing the prevalence of tooth decay in countries that have fluoridated water with the prevalence in countries that do not. Is this a randomized experiment or an observational study? Assume that tooth decay was seen to be less common in countries with fluoridated water. Could this result be due to confounding?
Productivity is the key driver of wages and one of the most importantdeterminants of living standards. The British Chambers of Commercecommissioned research into understanding whether labour productivity in theautomotive manufacturing sector in England and Ireland were the same ordifferent. The researchers collected data on a random sample of 8 firms inEngland and 4 in Ireland and recorded productivity in units of value added (£)per hour. It is assumed that firm-level productivity has a normal distribution.The following data were collected:Ireland 47 56 43 68England 39 50 39 45 50 43 35 43(i) Set up appropriate null and alternative hypotheses and conduct a test ofthe hypotheses of equal mean productivity in Ireland and England at 5 percent significance level under the assumption of unknown but equalpopulation variances.

An HIV clinical trial with 1151 subjects was conducted. We will focus on two variables from this trial: IVDrug and Age. IVDrug is a categorical variable that indicates whether each subject never, previously, or currently uses IV drugs. Age lists the subject's age in year. Thus, we have age for subjects in three treatment groups. Assume that the samples were collected independently and come from a normally distributed population with equal variances. An ANOVA is used to test whether average age in the three IV drug groups is the same. A partially filled-in ANOVA table is listed below. Use a significance level of 0.05. p-value Treatment Error Total df SS MS 76.77 F 7.5586
