Nonparametric: A small study is conducted to compare birth weight in babies born to mothers who do not smoke to those that smoke more than 2 pack/day. Is there a significant difference between birth weights due to maternal smoking status? Use the Mann-Whitney U test with a 5% level of significance. What is U1 (non-smokers)?

Which choice would be correct? Extraneous variables that are not directly studied but may influence the DV can be statistically controlled by: a. ANOVA b. ANCOVA c. Friedman's two-way ANOVA d. MANOVA
Approximately 58% of all people are able to wink with both eyes. Is this percent different for people who wear glasses? A researcher tests 319 people who wear glasses and found that 204 could wink with both eyes. What can be concluded at the αα = 0.05 level of significance? For this study, we should use Select an answer z-test for the difference between two population proportions t-test for a population mean z-test for a population proportion t-test for the difference between two dependent population means t-test for the difference between two independent population means The null and alternative hypotheses would be: H0:H0: Select an answer μd p1 p μ1 μ Select an answer ≥ = ≠ ≤ H1:H1: Select an answer μ μ1 p p1 μd Select an answer < ≠ > = The test statistic ? z t = (round to 3 decimal places) The p-value = (round to 4 decimal places) The p-value is ? > ≤ αα. Based on this, we should Select an answer accept reject fail to reject the null hypothesis. Explain…
A small pilot study is conducted to investigate the effect of a nutritional supplement on total body weight. Six participants agree to take the nutritional supplement. To assess its effect on body weight, weights are measured before starting the supplementation and then after 6 weeks. The data are shown below. Is there a significant increase in body weight following supplementation? Run the test at a 5% level of significance. Demonstrate the five steps for hypothesis testing and explain your results. Subject Initial Weight Weight after 6 Weeks 1 155 157 2 142 145 3 176 180 4 180 175 5 210 209 6 125 126
Below indicate whether the appropriate test would be an independent t-test, dependent t-test, One-way ANOVA, or z-test. A researcher wants to know if people find baby animals cuter than adult animals. All of the participants in a study are shown 10 pictures of baby animals and 10 pictures of adult animals. They are asked to rate (on a 1 to 10 scale) how cute they think each animal is.
A researcher wants to test the effectiveness of a new drug to treat asthma. One hundred patients with chronic, stable asthma were randomly assigned to one of three groups to receive a placebo (0mg), 1mg of drug, or 5 mg of drug. After treatment, a doctor tested the patient’s forced expiratory volume for 1 second (FEV1). 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
Alpha equals 0.01 level of significance for the given sample data.
Pap smears are a diagnostic test used to detect cervical cancer. Although the test has high specificity, it also has low sensitivity. As a result, women have to be screened often. Using the definitions of sensitivity and specificity, explain why increased frequency of screening is needed when sensitivity is low and specificity is high.
Suppose the National Transportation Safety Board wants to examine the safety of compact cars, midsize cars, and full-size cars. It collects a sample of three for each of the treatments (cars types). Test the claim that the mean pressure applied to the driver's head during a crash is equal for all three types of cars.

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?

A study was conducted of 90 adult male patients following a new treatment for congestive heart failure. One of the variables measured on the patients was the increase in exercise capacity (in minutes) over a 4-week treatment The previous treatment regime had produced an average increase of μ = 2 minutes. The researchers wanted to evaluate whether the new treatment had increased the value of μ in comparison to the previous treatment. The sample data yielded ?̅ = 2.17 and ? = 1.05: Using α = 05, what conclusions can you draw about the research hypothesis?
