In an experiment of breeding mice, a geneticist has obtained 120 brown mice with pink eyes, 48 brown mice with brown eyes, 36 white mice with pink eyes and 13 white mice with brown eyes. Theory predicts that these types of mice should be obtained with the genetic percentage of 56%, 19%, 19% and 6% respectively. Test the compatibility of data with theory, using 0.05 level of significance.

2-Proportion Test

In a 2-proportion test, two separate proportions are measured at the same time, and their similarity is evaluated. It is also known as a 2-proportion z-test, and a comparison of two different proportions is done in this method.

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 large clinical trial of the effect of diet on breast cancer assigned women at random to either a normal diet or a low-fat diet. To check that the random assignment did produce comparable groups, we can compare the two groups at the start of the study. Asked if there is a family history of breast cancer: 1276 of the 5964 women in the low-fat group and 1507 of the 7726 women in the control group said "Yes." If the random assignment worked well, there should not be a significant difference in the proportions with a family history of breast cancer. How significant is the observed difference? State: Is there evidence of a difference in the proportion of women with a family history of breast cancer between the treatment and control groups? Plan: Let pi be the proportion for the treatment group, and Pz the proportion for the control group. State the hypotheses for your test. Ha:Pi + P2 Solve: Give the value of the test statistic. Use the calculator. Select an answer ♥ Ho:pi = p2 What is the…
A sample of 150 matched pairs of banks was formed in a study comparing banks in Turkey and Germany. Each pair contained one bank from Turkey and one from Germany. The pairings were made in such a way that the two members were as similar as possible in regard to such factors as size and age. The ratio of total loans outstanding to total assets was calculated for each of the banks. For this ratio, the sample mean difference (Turkey - Germany) was 0.0412, and the sample standard deviation of the differences was 0.3039.

Acne is a common skin disease that affects most adolescents and can continue into adulthood. A study compared the effectiveness of three acne treatments and a placebo, all in gel form, applied twice daily for 12 weeks. The study's 517 teenage volunteers were randomly assigned to one of the four treatments. Success was assessed as clear or almost clear skin at the end of the 12 week period. The results of the study can be seen in the table below. Using the appropriate statistical test, determine if there is significant evidence that the four treatments perform differently. If so, how do they compare.

An experiment was conducted to test if 2 new anti-anxiety medications will have an effect on number of anxiety symptoms. The researcher randomly assigned participants to one of the three experimental groups. Groups 1 and 2 took the 2 new medications while Group 3 took a placebo pill. The researcher was interested in determining whether there would be a difference in the number of anxiety symptoms among the three groups. Assume an alpha level of 0.05 and a two-tailed test. What statistical test should you use to evaluate the hypothesis above? one-way independent ANOVA Pearson Product-Moment Correlation simple linear regression multiple linear regression three-way independent ANOVA

Mood variation is related to photoperiod in some people, and the likelihood of depression increases in the winter months. As a result, people often assume that suicide rates increase in winter. A study in Finland (Valtonen et al. 2006) divided the year 1997 into equal halves and compared the number of suicides in “winter” (24 September to 19 March) and “summer” (remainder of year). Out of a total of 1636 suicides, 766 were in winter and 870 were in the summer. Based on these data, estimate the proportion of suicides that occurred in winter, assuming that the suicides were independent. Are the data compatible with a greater suicide rate in winter than summer, based on a 95% confidence interval?
You are conducting a study of three types of feed supplements for cattle to test their effectiveness in producing weight gain among calves whose feed includes one of the supplements. You have four groups of 30 calves (one is a control group receiving the usual feed, but no supplement).
