pestation period is 16 days. Suppose you have a sample of 27 Syrian hamsters who were exposed to high levels of the hormone progesterone when they were pups, and who have an average gestation length of 17.4 days and a sample variance of 33.7 days. You want to test the hypothesis that Syrian hamsters who were exposed to high levels of the hormone progesterone when they were pups have a different gestation length than all Syrian hamsters.

A company produces 1,000 blue crayons every day. A sample of 50 crayons are analyzed, and 3 of them are found to not meet the standards of the company, so they are labeled defective. A simulation is run in which 50 crayons are chosen out of 1,000 so that each crayon chosen has a 6% chance of being defective. The simulation is run 500 times, and the mean proportion of defective crayons is 0.059 with a standard deviation of 0.012. What is a good margin of error based on this simulation? Based on a population proportion estimate and margin of error, is 0.07 a plausible value for the population proportion of crayons that are defective? Explain your reasoning.
Postpartum depression and anxiety (PPD), is a common medical condition affecting mothers and their families after the birth of a baby. The CDC estimated that 18% of women who have recently given birth suffer from PPD. However, this research only reflected self-reported cases. Therefore, one group dedicated to helping women and their families with PPD believes that the true percentage of women who suffer from PPD is much higher. The group conducts a simple random sample of 112 women who had given birth in the last year and discovers that 26 of them report having PPD. Based on this evidence, can the group claim that the true percentage of women who have PPD is greater than 18%? Use a 0.05 level of significance. Step 1 of 3 : State the null and alternative hypotheses for the test. Fill in the blank below. H0: p=0.18 Ha: p⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯0.18
QUESTION 22 "A clinical psychologist wants to compare the efficacy of medication versus Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. He specifically believes that medication will reduce the frequency of suicidal Ideation more than Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. He finds that the medicated group (n=22) reports an average of 1.2 suicidal thoughts, with a sample variance = 9.12. The CBT group (n 22) reports an average of 4.25 with a sample variance of 9.18. What would be the test statisitc the clinican observes given this data? (Be sure to round your answer to the second decimal place)
Researchers investigate how the presence of cell phones influence the quality of human interaction. Subjects are randomly selected from a population and divided into an experimental group that is asked to leave their phones in the front of the room and a control group that are not asked to leave their cell phones at the front of the room. Subjects are left alone for 10 minutes and then asked to take a survey designed to measure quality of interactions they had with others in the experiment. What statistical test is appropriate?
Seven acute schizophrenics and 10 chronic schizophrenics have been measured on a clarity of thinking scale. The mean for the acute sample was 52, with s = 12, and the mean for the chronic sample was 44, with s = 11. Perform a pooled-variance t test with alpha = .05 (two-tailed), and state your statistical conclusion.

Step 3 of 3 : Draw a conclusion and interpret the decision. 1. We reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is sufficient evidence at a 0.05 level of significance that the true percentage of women who have PPD is greater than 18%. 2. We fail to reject the…
We are running a hypothesis test to see if blood pressure of African zebras differs significantly from Arabian horses. We assume blood pressure in both populations is normally distributed and both populations have the same population variance in blood pressure which is unknown to us, so we use the sample variances to estimate the standard error for our calculations. We have a sample of size 9 for the African zebras and a sample of size 16 for the Arabian horses. How many degrees of freedom does our test statistic have?
The data from an independent-measures research study produce a sample mean difference of 4 points, and each sample has a variance of 10. If there are n = 20 scores in each sample, then what is the estimated standard error of the difference between means?
A study aims to compare the social media usage rates of men and women. Nine men and 9 women are drawn from the general population and the average time (in minutes) they spent on social media each day was compared (men’s mean = 40, sum of squares = 153; women’s mean = 48, sum of squares = 216). What is the (a) estimated population variance for each random sample, and (b) pooled variance? Estimated population variances = 19.13 and 27.00; Pooled variance = 23.07 Estimated population variances = 19.13 and 27.00; Pooled variance = 20.50 Estimated population variances = 17.00 and 24.00; Pooled variance = 20.50 Estimated population variances = 17.00 and 24.00; Pooled variance = 23.07
An experiment was conducted to test if 2 new anti-anxiety medications will have an effect on number of anxiety symptoms. The researcher randomly assigned participants to one of the three experimental groups. Groups 1 and 2 took the 2 new medications while Group 3 took a placebo pill. The researcher was interested in determining whether there would be a difference in the number of anxiety symptoms among the three groups. Assume an alpha level of 0.05 and a two-tailed test. What statistical test should you use to evaluate the hypothesis above? one-way independent ANOVA Pearson Product-Moment Correlation simple linear regression multiple linear regression three-way independent ANOVA
