Multiple Choice Questions An educational software company wants to compare the effectiveness of its computer animation for teaching biology with that of a textbook presentation. The company gives a biology pretest to each of a randomly chosen group of high school juniors, and then randomly divides them into two groups. One group uses the animation, and the other studies the test. The company retests all students and compares the increase in biology test scores in the two groups. Was the above study an observational study or an experiment? Could a cause-and-effect relationship possibly be established using the results of this study? A. Observational study; cause-and-effect could not possibly be established B. Observational study; cause-and-effect could possibly be established C. Experiment; cause-and-effect could possibly be established D. Experiment; cause-and-effect could not possibly be established

Difference of Two Proportions Problem. Significance magazine had an article looking at the impact on the outcome of a soccer game when a player gets a Red Card. The Red Card is given to a player who commits a serious foul and that player is removed from the game. This leaves the team with a player short. The data shows the relative performance of home and away teams with red cards, English Premier League (EPL), seasons 2011 to 2021. The table shows the outcomes of the team receiving a Red Card as Win, Draw (a tie), or Lose by whether the match is Home or Away for the Red Card Team. • We will focus on the proportion with a Draw for Home and Away games • The expectation is that a Red Card team that is away will work harder for a draw. Express the difference as Away - Home. • We will do a one-tailed test. • Use an alpha level of .05 unless otherwise instructed.

A statistics instructor would like to know whether it is worthwhile to require students to do weekly homework assignments. For one section of the statistics course, homework is assigned, collected and graded each week. For another section, the same problems are suggested each week, but the students are not required to turn in their homework. At the end of the semester, all students take the same final exam. The score distribution for the two sections are as follows: With Homework 12 15 17 5 10 No Homework 12 21 28 25 14 Do these data indicate a significant difference between the score distributions for students with homework versus students with no homework? Test at the 5% level of significance.

A recent survey of wheat growers focused on the characteristics of wheat farmers and their willingness to participate in agricultural research. One of the variables of interest in the survey was the age of the farmer. The following bar chart shows the responses of the farmers, classified by age-group, regarding their willingness to participate. Which of the following statements is supported by the bar chart? I am choosing betwwen a positive association between the age of the farmers and their willingness to participate and a negative association between the age of the farms and their willingness to participate. I think it is a negative association because if we are talking about willingness the that mean they would say yes to participation, which means that the slope would be negative, but I am unsure.

Irondale County has two school districts, Anaconda and Copper Canyon. In the Anaconda School District, the average score of fifth graders on the Iowa Test of Basic Skills (ITBS) was 50. In the Copper Canyon School District, the average ITBS score for 5th graders was 72. Can we conclude that the average score for all fifth graders in Irondale County who took the test is 61, the mean of 50 and 72? If so, explain why. If not, tell what additional information would be needed in order calculate the mean ITBS score for all their fifth graders.
