A study was conducted to determine if a person's resting heartbeat (how many beats per minute) was related to whether they exercise regularly. They asked a subject if they exercised regularly and then tested to see if their resting heartbeat was less than 70 beats per minute. The results of the study are shown below. Is it more likely that someone who exercises regularly will have a heartbeat below 70 beats per minute or someone who does not exercise regularly will have a heartbeat higher than 70 beats per minute? Justify. Exercises Does Not Exercise Regularly Regularly Heartbeat Above 70 ВРМ 18% 45% Heartbeat Below 70 20% 17% ВРМ

Teenagers who do not sleep well or long enough may have a higher risk of raised blood pressure, which could lead to cardiovascular disease later in life. The odds of raised blood pressure increase 3.5 times for those who have trouble falling asleep at night or who wake up too early and 2.5 times for those with sleeping periods of fewer than 6.5 hours. A health psychologist is interested in studying teenagers who have diastolic blood pressure scores in the top 20%. Diastolic blood pressure scores for teenagers follow a normal distribution with μ = 72 and σ = 10. Use the Distributions tool to help answer the questions that follow. The minimum z-score necessary to be in the top 20% of the diastolic blood pressure distribution is z =0.842 . Use this z-score to determine X, the corresponding diastolic blood pressure score. X = 80.42 This score, X, is the 80th percentile of diastolic blood pressure scores among teenagers. The percentile rank of this score is 80%…
Pregnant women are screened for a birth defect called Down syndrome. Down syndrome babies are mentally and physically challenged. Some mothers choose to abort the fetus when they are certain that their baby will be born with the syndrome. The most common screening is maternal serum screening, a blood test that looks for markers in the blood to indicate whether the birth defect may occur. The false-positive and false-negative rates vary according to the age of the mother.

Liu et al. (2015) recently reported the results of a study examining whether happy people live longer. The study followed a large sample of British women, aged 50 to 69, over a 10-year period. At the beginning of the study, the women were asked several questions including how often they felt happy. After 10 years, roughly 4% of the women had died. The following table shows a frequency distribution similar to the results obtained in the study. Lived Died Within 10 Years Total Happy Most of the Time 382 18 400 Unhappy Most of the Time 194 6 200 Total 576 24 n = 600 Do the data indicate a significant relationship between living longer and being happy most of the time? Test with α = .05. (Round your answers to two decimal places for χ²-critical and χ².) χ²-critical = χ² = Conclusion: Fail to reject the null hypothesis. There is a relationship between living longer and being happy most of the time. Reject the null hypothesis. There is no relationship between living longer and being…
A researcher was interested in how the effects of stress were different in people with our without military training. A equal number of participants were recruited that either had no military experience or had completed military experience. All participants were asked to give a speech without preparation while being judged by a panel of experts. Their heart rates were monitored during the speech and an average heart rate was calcuated for each participant. Which statistical test would be best to determine if there is a significant difference between groups? one-sample t-test dependent samples t-test independent samples t-test ANOVA
QUESTION 8 You are interested in seeing whether emotions impact decision making. You have three groups--a happy group, a sad group, and a neutral group. For the happy group there are 5 participants and the mean risky decision making score 5.0 with a standard deviation of 0.7. For the sad group there are 5 participants and the mean risky decision making score 5.4 with a standard deviation of 1.1. For the neutral group there are 5 participants and the mean risky decision making score 5.8 with a standard deviation of 2.8. The sum of squares between samples is equal to 1.6. The sum of squares within samples is equal to 38.0. What is the degrees of freedom total? Please do the calculations on the handout provided.

In an observational study it was found that people who had received the flu shot this year had better blood pressure readings, on average, than people who did not. Can it be claimed that the flu shot is the cause of the lower overall blood pressure? Why or why not?
Denny studied factors affecting cardiovascular reactivity to a postural change in a sample of healthy men and women. Change in systolic blood pressure (SBP) from supine to standing position was used as the measure of cardiac reactivity in a sample of 842 adults. Supine measurement of blood pressure was taken after participants had lain on an examination table for 15 minutes. Blood pressure was determined every 30 seconds using a Dinamap device for 2 minutes, and the measurements were averaged. Participants then stood up immediately, and additional measurements were made for another 2 minutes. Below is a table describing the characteristics of Denny’s sample: Which measures of dispersion, if any, are presented in this table (Ranges, SDs)? If age is normally distributed, approximately what percent of the sample would be younger than 50? If BMI is normally distributed, approximately what percent of the sample would have a BMI higher than 33.1?
