In an article dated April 24, 2005, USA Today reported on the 17th annual study on teen drug abuse conducted by the Partnership for a Drug-Free America. According to the survey of 8100 teens was Vicodin, with 19%-or about 8.2 million youths-reporting that they had used it to get high. OxyContin and drugs for attention-deficit disorder, such as Ritalin/Adderall, followed with 1 in 10 teens reporting that they had tried them. Is the statement about 19% of youths abusing Vicodin inferential or descriptive? Is the statement about about 8.2 million youths abusing Vicodin inferential or descriptive?

- The following is data about the hemoglobin concentrations of volunteers collected at sea level and at an altitude of 11000 feet. sea level concentrations = [14.70 , 15.22, 15.28, 16.58, 15.10 , 15.66, 15.91, 14.41, 14.73, 15.09, 15.62, 14.92]11000 feet concentrations = [14.81, 15.68, 15.57, 16.59, 15.21, 15.69, 16.16, 14.68, 15.09, 15.30 , 16.15, 14.76] There are two alternative scenarios about the way the data were obtained. In scenario 1, there are 12 volunteers who lived for a month at sea level, at which time blood was drawn and the data in "sea level concentrations" dataset were obtained. Subsequently, all 12 volunteers were moved to 11000 ft and after a month the data in the "11000 feet concentrations" dataset obtained. There is a one to one correspondence between the numbers in the two datasets, that is the first numbers correspond to volunteer1, the second numbers to volunteer2 etc. In scenario 2, the "sea level concentrations" dataset is a random sample obtained from 12…Of all sports, football accounts for the highest incidence of concussion in the United States due to the large number of athletes participating and the nature of the sport. While there is general agreement that concussion incidence can be reduced by making rule changes and teaching proper tackling technique, there remains debate as to whether helmet design may also reduce the incidence of concussion. Rowson et al. (2014) report on a retrospective analysis of head impact data collected between 2005 and 2010 from eight collegiate football teams. Concussion rates for players wearing two types of helmets, Riddell VSR4 and Riddell Revolution, were compared. A total of 1,281,444 head impacts were recorded, from which 64 concussions were diagnosed. The relative risk of sustaining a concussion in a Revolution helmet compared with a VSR4 helmet was 46.1%. This study illustrates that differences in the ability to reduce concussion risk exist between helmet models in football. Although helmet…In 2010, Dr. Bob decided to gather research on the type of disorders that present among his patients. His data collection resulted in the following breakdown of patients by disorder: 54.9% Schizophrenia; 21.1% Major Depression; 7.9% Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder; 4.5% Anxiety Disorder; 2.9% Personality Disorder; 8.8% Other. Information was collected from a random sample Of 300 patients in 2018 to determine whether or not the data has changed significantly. The sample data is given in the table below. At the a = 0.10 level of significance, test the claim that the disorder breakdown of patients at Dr. Bob's hospital has not changed significantly since 2010. Which would be correct hypotheses for this test? Ho: P1 = P2; H₁: P₁ P2 © Ha: t1 = Uz; Hư:1# 02 ⒸHO: The breakdown of patients by disorder has changed significantly since 2010 (i.e. the given distribution no longer fits); H₁: The breakdwon of patients by disorder has not changed significantly since 2010 (i.e. the given distribution…
- A study used ethnographic interview techniques, not usually part of ethnography, and quantitative questionnaires to answer questions about how young children (ages 9 to 15) are socialized into sports. How can researchers report coherently on the findings using these apparently incompatible data collection techniques?In 2002 the Supreme Court ruled that schools could require random drug tests of students participating in competitive after-school activities such as athletics. Does drug testing reduce use of illegal drugs? A study compared two similar high schools in Oregon. Wahtonka High School tested athletes at random and Warrenton High School did not. In a confidential survey, 5 of 140 athletes at Wahtonka and 26 of 143 athletes at Warrenton said they were using drugs. Regard these athletes as SRSs from the populations of athletes at similar schools with and without drug testing. Wahtonka sample size: 142 Wahtonka drug users: 6 Warrenton sample size: 145 Warrenton drug users: 27(c) Give the plus four 96% confidence interval for the difference between the proportion of athletes using drugs at schools with and without testing. Interval:A recent report by PEW Research Center, published on February 25, 2022 summarizes American views on Russia threat as follows. “When it comes to rising U.S.- Russia tensions, an early January survey found that 26% of Americans considered the Russian military buildup near Ukraine to be a major threat to U.S. interests, while 33% said it was a minor threat to U.S. interests. Another 7% said it was no threat at all. A relatively large share of U.S. adults (33%) said they were not sure how Russian actions toward Ukraine affected U.S. interests.” Answer the questions based on the proportions listed above. (a) Use the binomial distribution to estimate the probability that more than half of 20 randomly selected US adults consider Russian military buildup near Ukraine to be a major or a minor threat to U.S. interests. (b) Use the normal approximation to estimate the probability that more than half of 20 randomly selected US adults consider Russian military buildup near Ukraine to be a major or…
- In 1990, 58% of Americans 18 years old and older reported they have a great deal of concern regarding air pollution. A recent poll found that 592 of 1004 Americans 18 years old or older stated that they have a great deal of concern regarding the level of air pollution in American. Is there evidence to conclude that the current proportion of Americans having a great deal of concern about the level of air pollution in America is different from the 1990 proportion, with a 10% level of significance? State the null hypothesis, alternative hypothesis, test statistic, p-value and conclusion.According to the Pew research center 65% of US adults believe that the government should play a larger role in addressing climate change. A random sample (SRS) of 80 US adults found that 56 US adults believe that the government should play a larger role in addressing climate change. Does this indicate that population proportion of US adults who believe that the government should play a larger role in addressing climate change is MORE THAN 65%? Given: a= 0.05 level 1.

Find the 95% confidence interval by hand using: Given z*=1.96The president of a mid-sized state university has proposed lowering tuition rates in order to increase the school’s overall graduation rates (meaning she expects the two measures will be negatively associated with each other). She collects data on other similar universities, rating universities as “high” on tuition (above-average tuition costs) or “low” (below average tuition), as well as on their proportion of students who graduate in six years (categorizing with those graduating more than half of their students as “high” and those graduating fewer than half as “low”). A bivariate table with these data is below. Calculate the gamma and then write a sentence or two interpreting what it suggests about the relationship. Is there support for the president’s hypothesis?

- In a study examining the effect of humor on interpersonal attractions, McGee and Shevlin (2009) found that a man's sense of humor had significant effect on how he was perceieved by woman. In the study, female college students were given brief descriptions of a po tential romantic partner and then rated the attractiveness of the male on a scale from 1 (low) to 7 (high). The fictitious male was described positively as being single , ambitious, and having good job prospects. In one dition, the description also said that he had a great sense of humor. The results showed that the description was rated significantly higher when "a sense of humor" was included. To further examine this effect, a researcher selected a sample of n = 16colle college males and asked them to read a brief description of a female and then rate the attractiveness of the woman in the description . The description had been used in previous research but was modified by adding a statement describing a good sense of humor…A nonprofit company concerned with the school dropout rates has designed a tutoring program aimed at students between 16 to 18 years old. A national center for educational statistics reported that the high school dropout rate for the year 2000 was 10.9%.One school district, who adopted the use of the nonprofit's tutoring program and whose dropout rate has always been very close to the national average, reported in 2004 that 158 of their 1769 students dropped out.

The respondent specifies the number of servings of various food items they consumed over the previous week. The dietary cholesterol is then quantified for each respondent. The researchers were interested in assessing if there was an association between dietary cholesterol intake and high blood pressure. In a large sample of individuals who had completed the questionnaire, 250 persons with a high dietary cholesterol intake (greater than 300 mg /day) were selected and 250 persons with a low dietary cholesterol intake (less than 300 mg/day) were selected. The 500 selected participants had their medical history taken and were classified as having normal or high blood pressure. The data are given here.
