In a certain manufacturing company, a safety engineer has conducted an observation for a period of one month. The results presented show that only 10% of the machinists wear clear goggles and 90% wear cotton gloves when grinding a piece of metal during a regular day. Assuming that this claim is right and that the workers still do not know that they are being observed, what is the chance that no more than 3 out of 7 workers will be wearing their clear goggles while grinding during a random check?

- 1.Miller (2008) examined the energy drink consumption of college undergraduates and found that males use energy drinks significantly more often than females. To further investigate this phenomenon, suppose a researcher selects a random sample of n = 36 male undergraduates and a sample of n = 25 females. On average, the males reported consuming M = 2.45 drinks per month and females had an average of M = 1.28. Assume that the overall level of consumption for college undergraduates averages μ = 1.85 energy drinks per month, and that the distribution of monthly consumption scores is approximately normal with a standard deviation of σ = 1.2. A) The researcher wants to know if the sample of males consume significantly more energy drinks than the overall population average. What are the independent and dependent variables? Using symbols, state the hypotheses for the type of test you indicated in part b.

You wish to test this claim for the same patients, but in a room decorated with soothing colors and soft lighting. You believe that a warmly decorated room may alter the fidgeting behavior, causing subjects to tap their fingers less than they do under normal conditions. A random sample of 400 patients has a mean of 420 taps and a standard error of 30 taps in a 2 hour period. Find the margin of error for the average tapping of fingers during a 2 hour period.A new screening test for Lyme disease is developed for use in the general population. The sensitivity and specificity of the new test are 60% and 70%, respectively. Five hundred people are screened at a clinic during the first year the new test is implemented. Assume the true prevalence of Lyme disease among clinic attendees is 10%. Calculate the predictive value of a positive test.
- A random selection of volunteers at a research institute has been exposed to a weak flu virus. After the volunteers began to have flu symptoms, 20 of them were given multivitamin tablets daily that contained 1 gram of vitamin C and 3 grams of various other vitamins and minerals. The remaining 20 volunteers were given tablets containing 4 grams of vitamin C only. For each individual, the length of time taken to recover from the flu was recorded. At the end of the experiment the following data were obtained.

To better understand the etiology of breast cancer, serum-estradiol samples were collected from 25 premenopausal women (at about the same time period of the menstrual cycle) of whom 10 were Caucasian and 15 were African American. The data are shown in Table 7.3. The distribution of serum estradiol is usually highly skewed (especially for premenopausal women), and we are reluctant to assume normality.

If it used its right paw more than half the time to activate the tube, it was defined to be “right-pawed." Observations of this sort showed that 67% of mice belonging to strain A/J are right-pawed. A similar protocol was followed on a sam- ple of thirty-five mice belonging to strain A/HeJ. Of those thirty-five, a total of eighteen were eventually classified as right-pawed. Test whether the proportion of right-pawed mice found in the A/HeJ sample was significantly differ- ent from what was known about the A/J strain. Use a two- sided alternative and let 0.05 be the probability associated with the critical region.

The study involved a random sample of 168 healthy youngsters of whom 59 drank on average more than 12 ounces of fruit juice per day. Each child was weighed and measured. The measurements were then converted to percentage of normal height and weight for a child of that age and gender. For example, a weight percentage of 1.1 indicates that the child is 10% heavier than average. A recorded 0.80 indicates the child is 20% below the average. An average weight is recorded as 1.0.

The issue has been raised by registered nurses, who feel they often have to perform work normally done by their aides. To get the facts, absenteeism data were gathered for the last three weeks, which is considered a representative period for future conditions. After taking random samples of 64 personnel files each day, the following data were produced: Because your assessment of absenteeism is likely to come under careful scrutiny, you would like a type I error of only 1 percent. You want to be sure to identify any instances of unusual absences. If some are present, you will have to explore them on behalf of the registered nurses. a. Design a p-chart.

- Some researchers claim that herbal supplements such as ginseng or ginkgo biloba enhance human memory. To test this claim, a researcher selects a sample of n = 25 college students. Each student is given a ginkgo biloba supplement daily for six weeks and then all the participants are given a standardized memory test. For the population, scores on the test are normally distributed with μ = 70 and σ = 15. The sample of n = 25 students had a mean score of M = 75. a. Use a two-tailed test with a = .05. Conduct the four steps for hypothesis testing and label each step: Step1, Step 2, Step 3, and Step 4. b. Calculate Cohen’s d. c. Are the data sufficient to conclude that thier is a significant difference? Write your answer in the form of a sentence.A psychologist has developed a new test to measure depression. Using a very large group of "normal" individuals, the mean score on this test is found to be p=55 and a population standard of o=12. The scores form a normal distribution. A researcher would like to use this test to evaluate a theory predicting that increased depression is a common part of the aging process. To test the theory, a sample of n=36 elderly people is obtained. The depression test is administered to each person, and the mean score for the sample is 59. Testing the hypothesis using a one-tailed test at 0.05 level of significance, do these data support the theory? You can answer "Yes" or "No". Do the 4-step process to determine the answer. Answer:
