A sample of 15, 10 years -old children was taken to study whether watching television reduces theamount of physical exercise, causing weight gains. The number of kilograms each child was overweightby was recorded (a negative number indicates the child is underweight). In addition, the number ofhours of television viewing per week was also recorded. These data are listed in the table below.Television(hours) 42 34 25 35 37 38 31 33 19 29 38 28 29 36 18Overweight (Kg) 8 3 0 0 6 6 3 3 -4 4 4 2 1 6 -3.

We are testing whether a particular program of low impact exercise can improve the cholesterol level of stroke patients. We enroll a group of stroke patients in our study, and after six weeks we measure their serum cholesterol level in mmol/L, resulting in the following data: 7.1 7.4 8.7 4.7 4.6 3.9 4.6 7.1 9.1 7.2 8.6 8.1 6.3 8 5.9 8.5 8.4 8 7.4 5.9 4.6 3.8 5.4 8.1 7.7 9.3 7.8 5.3 9 7.2 8.1 6.1 8.6 9.5 7.8 7.6 7.4 4.1 Construct a 92% confidence interval

The following data represent the amount of snowfall (in inches) received at Squaw Valley, CA from the 2007 season to the 2016 season. Treat these data as a sample of all ski seasons: 399 358 189 381 661 400 542 439 347 602 1. Do you think there could be a Squaw Valley season with just 270 inches of snow?
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…
The National Hurricane Center provides data that list the number of large (category 3, 4, or 5) hurricanes that have struck the United States, by decade, from 1851-2020. Is there sufficient evidence that the number of large hurricanes have remained constant (per decade)? What is the pvalue and results of the test?

A pharmaceutical company tested the impact of four cholesterol-reducing medications (denoted A, B, C and D) on people at high risk of heart attack. For this clinical trial 20 volunteers with LDL (bad) cholesterol levels of 140 mg/dl were randomly assigned to one of the four medications. The subjects were instructed to take one tablet per day for a period of three months after which their LDL levels were again measured. Below are the amounts (in mg/dl) by which the LDL levels decreased after the three month trial.

(e) If a key assumption in (d) is not satisfied, test if the data provide sufficient ev- idence to indicate that at least one of the medications produces a mean reduc- tion in LDL cholesterol that is different from any of the other medications using a non-parametric method (show all working and…
