Q5 Two-sample t-testResearchers are interested in whether the use of cell phones while driving impairs driver'sreaction speed. In a simple random sample of 70 drivers, 35 are randomly assigned to the "CellPhone" group and the other 35 are assigned to the control group. The drivers assigned to thecontrol group listened radio while participating in a driving simulator, while the drivers assignedto the cell group carried out a phone conversation while participating in the simulation. For bothtreatments, the participants reacted to various simulated obstacles. The reaction times to theobstacles were recorded for all participants. The box plot below shows the reaction times foreach group.Reaction Time900-800-700-600-500-400-CellGroupControl Q5.1GroupQ5.2CellControlSample Mean586536Sample StandardDeviation97.569.0Sample Size3535State the null hypothesis for testing whether there is a difference in average reaction timebetween the Cell Phone and Control groups.O Ho cellcontrol = 0O Hocellcontrol < 0O HocellcontrolO Ho: cell-control > 0State the alternative hypothesis for testing whether the average reaction time for those using aCell Phone is greater than the average reaction time for the Control group.OHA cell control > 0OHA cell-control < 0OHA: μcell = controlOHA cell control

The leader of two postpartum women’s support groups is interested in the depression levels of the women in her groups. She administers the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) screening test to the members of her groups. The CES-D is a 20-question self-test that measures depressive feelings and behaviors during the previous week. The mean depression level from the screening test for the 10 women in the first group is μ₁ = 16; the mean depression level for the 14 women in the second group is μ₂ = 10. Without calculating the weighted mean for the combined group, you know that the weighted mean is:

Q2 A study was conducted to test the effect of melatonin on female dementia patients. A random sample of 10 patients was given a dose of 2.5 mg of melatonin daily, while a control group of 10 patients was given a placebo. The data below are the subjective well-being scores for each of the patients after two months on the assigned treatment. Higher scores indicate greater well-being. Is there a difference in mean well-being score between the two treatments? Assume Equal Variances. Run the test at a 5% level of significance.  1 ) the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses ( 2) the appropriate test ); 3) the decision rule ; 4) the calculation of the test statistic, 5) your conclusion including a comparison to alpha or the critical value, What do the results mean?

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?

A researcher wants to examine the effect of daily mental exercises on cognitive performance of people in early stages of Alzheimer's disease. She enrolled to her study n = 16 patients diagnosed with the early stage of Alzheimer's disease and all participants conducted daily mental exercises for a month. At the end of the program all enrolled patients took the MMSE test (i.e., Mini-Mental State Examination). The results show that the sample mean on the MMSE test was M = 23.6 with the standard deviation, s = 7. It is known that the MMSE mean in the population of patients with early Alzheimer's disease is µ = 20. Do these data show a significant effect of daily mental exercises on cognitive performance in early stages of Alzheimer's disease?
