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.

Tardigrades, or water bears, are a type of micro-animal famous for their resilience. In examining the effects of radiation on arganisms, an expert claimed that the amount of gamma radiation needed to sterilize a colany of tardigrades no longer has a mean of 1200 Gy (grays). (For comparison, humans cannot withstand more than 10 Gy.) A study was conducted on a sample of 21 randomly selected tardigrade colonies, finding that the amount of gamma radiation needed to sterilize a colony had a sample mean af 1225 Gy, with a sample standard deviation of 65 Gy. Assume that the population of amounts of gamma radiation needed to sterilize a colony of tardigrades is approximately normally distributed. Complete the parts below to perform a hypothesis test to see if there is enough evidence, at the 0.10 level af significance, to support the claim that H, the mean amount of gamma radiation needed to sterilize a colony of tardigrades, is nat equal to 1200 Gy.

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
A manufacturer ran an experiment to compare the wearing qualities of two different types of automobile tires, A and B. In the experiment, a tire of Type A and one of the type B were randomly assigned and mounted on the rear wheels of each of five cars. the cars were then operated for x miles and the amount of tire wear was recorded (higher number represents more wear). Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that there is a difference in the average wear? Use 0.05 level of significance. Tire A 10.6 9.8 12.3 9.7 8.8 Tire B 10.2 9.4 11.8 9.1 8.3
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?

ANOVA An experiment was conducted to determine if motivational techniques in management significantly impacted employee stress levels compared to no intervention. An employee survey was given to three groups: one group under a manager who started using a transformational motivation technique, one group under a manager who began using a transformational motivation technique, and then a control group with no new technique used. Stress levels were self-reported by the employees as shown below. Use alpha = 0.05 Transformational Transactional Control 2 6. 3 3 1. What is your null hypothesis? 2.

Female undergraduates in randomized groups of 15 took part in a self-esteem study. The study measured an index of self-esteem from the point of view of competence, social acceptance, and physical attractiveness. Let x1, x2, and x3 be random variables representing the measure of self-esteem through x1 (competence), x2 (social acceptance), and x3 (attractiveness).

A team of epidemiologists at the Mayo Clinic wanted to find whether there is an association between obesity and cardiovascular disease (CVD). They conducted a prospective cohort study following obese and non-obese individuals who were free of CVD at the beginning of study for five years.
