Impact of College Roommates on Grades In this exercise, we investigate answers to the questions: How much of an effect does your roommate have on your grades? In particular, does it matter whether your roommate brings a videogame to college? A study was conducted involving n = 210 first-year students who were randomly assigned a roommate. Table 1 gives summary statistics on grade point average (GPA) for the first semester depending on whether the student and/or the roommate brought a videogame to campus.

Cell Phones and Cancer In a study of 420,095 Danish cell phone users, 135 subjects developed cancer of the brain or nervous system (based on data from the Journal of the National Cancer Institute as reported in Test the claim of a somewhat common belief that such cancers are affected by cell phone use. That is, test the claim that cell phone users develop cancer of the brain or nervous system at a rate that is different from the rate of 0.0340% for people who do not use cell phones. Because this issue has such great importance, use a 0.005 significance level. Based on these results, should cell phone users be concerned about cancer of the brain or nervous system?
Example 5: A corporation psychologist believes that exercise affects self image. To investigate this possibility, 14 employees of the corporation are randomly selected to participate in a jogging programme. Before beginning the programme, they are given a questionnaire that measure self-image. Then they begin the jogging programme. The programme consists of jogging at a moderately taxing rate for 20 minutes a day, 4 days a week. Each employee's self-image is measured again after 2 months on the programme. The results are shown below (the higher the score, the higher the self-image); a score of 20 is the highest score possible.

Section 6.3: Hypothesis Test of Differences in Proportions Example 4. Autism and Maternal Antidepressant Use A recent study41 compared 298 children with Autism Spectrum Disorder to 1507 randomly selected control children without the disorder. Of the children with autism, 20 of the mothers had used antidepressant drugs during the year before pregnancy or the first trimester of pregnancy. Of the control children, 50 of the mothers had used the drugs. (a) Is there a significant association between prenatal exposure to antidepressant medicine and the risk of autism? Test whether the results are significant at the 5% level. (b) Can we conclude that prenatal exposure to antidepressant medicine increases the risk of autism in the child? Why or why not?

The regression coefficient of Age (b1) are different in the estimated simple regression equation and estimated multiple regression equation. Can you explain why? 3. If we choose the significance level α=0.05, is the variable Smoker a significant factor in explaining the risk of a stroke? Explain.
