Twoalternative methods of greeting (popularized in sports) arethe "high five" and the "fist bump." Researchers comparedthe hygiene of these alternative greetings in a designed studyand reported the results in the American Journal of InfectionControl (Aug. 2014). A sterile-gloved hand was dipped intoa culture of bacteria, then made contact for three secondswith another sterile-gloved hand via either a handshake, highfive, or fist bump. The researchers then counted the num-ber of bacteria present on the second, recipient, gloved hand.This experiment was replicated five times for each contactmethod. Simulated data (recorded as a percentage relative tothe mean of the handshake), based on information providedby the journal article, are provided in the table.Handshake:High five:Fist bump:131441574 70 141296921964329925321a. The researchers reported that “[more] bacteria weretransferred during a handshake compared with a highfive." Use a 95% confidence interval to support thisstatement statistically. b. The researchers also reported that "the fist bump ...gave [a lower] transmission of bacteria" than the highfive. Use a 95% confidence interval to support thisstatement statistically.c. Based on the results, parts a and b, which greetingmethod would you recommend as having the most hy-giene?

Researchers investigate how the presence of cell phones influence the quality of human interaction. Subjects are randomly selected from a population and divided into an experimental group that is asked to leave their phones in the front of the room and a control group that are not asked to leave their cell phones at the front of the room. Subjects are left alone for 10 minutes and then asked to take a survey designed to measure quality of interactions they had with others in the experiment. What statistical test is appropriate?
How is the hatching of water python eggs influenced by the temperature of the snake's nest? Researchers randomly assigned newly laid eggs to one of three water temperatures: hot, neutral, or cold. Hot duplicates the extra warmth provided by the mother python, and cold duplicates the absence of the mother. The table shows the result of the experiment. The researchers will use a chi-square test for homogeneity to analyze the findings. Hatching status Yes No Total Cold 16 11 27 Water Temperature Neutral Hot 38 75 18 56 104 Total 129 58 187 Which of the following is false? All of the conditions are met for conducting a chi- square test for homogeneity. The data came from 3 groups in a randomized experiment. All expected counts are at least 5. The 10% condition is met. The 10% condition is not needed because the eggs were not randomly selected from the population. Incorrect

age As a labor economist, you would like to measure the effect that an older sibling has on the average level of education for the youngest sibling. You randomly select 137 individuals from t Longitudinal Study of Youth (NLSY) that have an older brother (population 1) and 245 individuals that have an older sister (population 2) and compare the average level of education of the sibling depending on having an older brother or older sister. Which of the following is the best test to use for your hypothesis assuming only the following tests are available? Use "Formula Sheet Fall 2020" if necessary. Select one: O a. A paired sample t-test for the difference in two population means O O O b. Az-test for the difference in two population means c. A t-test for the difference in two population means with unknown but equal variances d. A chi square test for single population variance e. An F-test for the ratio of two population variances Finish
Fish of Lake Laengelmaevesi. An article by J. Puranen of the Department of Statistics, University of Helsinki, discussed a classic study on several variables of seven different species of fish caught in Lake Laengelmaevesi, Finland. On theWeissStats site, we present the data on weight (in grams) and length (in centimeters) from the nose to the beginning of the tail for four of the seven species. Perform the required parts for both the weight and length data. a. Obtain individual normal probability plots and the standard deviations of the samples. b. Perform a residual analysis. c. Use your results from parts (a) and (b) to decide whether conducting a one-way ANOVA test on the data is reasonable. If so, also do parts (d) and (e). d. Use a one-way ANOVA test to decide, at the 5% significance level, whether the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that a difference exists among the means of the populations from which the samples were taken. e. Interpret your results from part (d)

You recently completed an experiment concerning the effects of carbs on happiness. One group of 11 people are assigned a high carb diet, another group of 11 people are assigned a moderate-high carb diet, another group of 11 people are assigned a moderate-low carb diet, and a final group of 11 people are assigned a low carb diet. If I find that I fail to reject the null hypothesis, what might my next step be? Group of answer choices Change my analysis and alpha to make the finding significant and then run post-hoc tests. 1. Run multiple dependent measures t-tests to see if there are any significant differences between particular groups 2. Run multiple independent samples t-tests to see if there are any significant differences between particular groups 3. Change my hypothesis to see if I can find something significant with a different hypothesis for this study 4. Run home and binge-watch Bridgerton because there is nothing else that should be done statistically

Green Tea and Prostate Cancer A preliminary study suggests a benefit from green tea for those at risk of prostate cancer. The study involved 60 men with PIN lesions, some of which turn into prostate cancer. Half the men, randomly determined, were given 600 mg a day of a green tea extract while the other half were given a placebo. The study was double-blind, and the results after one year are shown in the table below. Treatment Cancer No Cancer Green Tea 1 29 Placebo 9 21 (a) Test at a 5% significant level to see if the sample provide evidence that taking green tea extract reduces the risk of developing prostate cancer. (b) Find 98% confidence interval for the difference between two population proportions of men with PIN lesions who get prostate cancer after taking green tea extract and after taking placebo for a year. Interpret the C.I. result.

Neurosurgery Operative Times. An Arizona State University professor, R. Jacobowitz, Ph.D., in consultation with G. Vishteh, M.D., and other neurosurgeons obtained data on operative times, in minutes, for both a dynamic system (Z-plate) and a static system (ALPS plate). They wanted to perform a hypothesis test to decide whether the mean operative time is less with the dynamic system than with the static system. a. identify the variable. b. identify the two populations. c. determine the null and alternative hypotheses. d. classify the hypothesis test as two tailed, left tailed, or right tailed.
