Keto firm claims that its weight-reducing drug will cause a weight loss of at least 9 kg within one month. A random sample of 30 subjects is taken and the average weight loss is 7.5 kg. with s = 3.1 kg, a = .01 . Thus; the alternative hypothesis is: Select one: a. H1: u > 9 b. H1: u = 9 c. H1: u < 9 d. H1: u ≥ 9

A medical researcher is interested in determining if there is a relationship between adults over 50 who exercise regularly and levels of blood pressure. A random sample of 236 adults over 50 is selected and the results are given below. Calculate the test statistic to test the claim that regular exercise and blood pressure are independent. Use α = 0.01.
A researcher administers a treatment to a sample of n=36 selected from a population with u=30 and o=2. If the sample mean after treatment is M=32, then Cohen’s d=1.00. True or False?
A researcher would like to examine how the chemical tryptophan, contained in foods such as turkey, can affect mental alertness. A sample of n = 9 college students is obtained and each student’s performance on a familiar video game is measured before and after eating a traditional Thanksgiving dinner including roast turkey. The average score dropped by M = 14 points after the meal with SS = 1152 for the difference scores. A. Is there is significant difference in performance before eating versus after eating? Use a two-tailed test with α = .05. SMD = ___________________________ tcritical = ________________________ tcalculated = ________________________ Decision = _______________________ B. Compute r2 to measure the size of the effect. r2 = _____________________________ C. Write a sentence demonstrating how the outcome of the test and the measure of effect size would…
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. (H0and H1) Sketch the appropriate distribution and locate the critical region for α…
Recreational Time A researcher wishes to see if there is a difference between the mean number of hours per week that a family with no children participates in recreational activities and a family with children participates in recreational activities. She selects two random samples and the data are shown. Use μ1 for the mean number of families with no children. At =α0.01, is there a difference between the means? Use the critical value method and tables. X σ n No children 8.7 2.8 35 Children 10.5 2.7 35 (a) State the hypotheses and identify the claim. H0: claim/ do not claim H1: claim/not claim This hypothesis test is a one tailed/two-tailed test. (b) Find the critical value(s). Round the answer(s) to at least two decimal places. If there is more than one critical value, separate them with commas. Critical value(s): (c) Compute the test value. Always round z score values to at least two decimal places. z= (d) Make…
Two separate samples are selected from the same population. Each have an n=8. Both samples receive a different treatment. After the treatment, the first sample has SS=16 and the second sample has SS=24. With a mean of 3 for the first group and mean of 6 for the second group, compute the t statistic. State the conclusion of these findings.
A weight-lifting coach claims that weight-lifters can increase their strength by taking vitamin E. To test the theory, the coach randomly selects 9 athletes and gives them a strength test using a bench press. Thirty days later, after regular training supplemented by vitamin E, they are tested again. The results are listed below. Use the Wilcoxon signed-rank test to test the claim that the vitamin E supplement is effective in increasing athletes' strength. Use α = 0.05.

ndependent random samples are selected from two populations and are used to test the hypothesis Hn: (H, - H2) = 0 against the alternative H,: (4, - H2) #0. An analysis of 232 observations from population 1 and 311 from population 2 yielded p-value of 0.113. Complete parts a and b below. a. Interpret the results of the computer analysis. Use as0.10. A. Since this p-value exceeds the given value of a, there is insufficient evidence to indicate that the population means are different. O B. Since the given a value exceeds this p-value, there is insufficient evidence to indicate that the population means are different. OC. Since the given a value exceeds this p-value, there sufficient evidence to indicate that the population means are different. O D. Since this p-value exceeds the given value of , there is sufficient evidence to indicate that the population means are different. b. If the alternative hypothesis had been Ha: (H1 - H2) <0, how would the p-value change? Interpret the p-value…
