Recent research findings have shown that older people who practice ballroom dancing are 77% less likely to experience dementia compared to those senior citizens who did not dance. Drawing on this surprising result, Dr. Anders Ericsson thinks that ballroom dancing may also reduce one's level of stress to a greater extent than conventional exercise routines. To validate his claim Dr. Ericsson has randomly selected 100 senior citizens who were then randomly split into two groups, with the first group practicing ballroom dancing 3 times a week and the second group undergoing a conventional exercise regiment 3 times a week also. The measures of stress were assessed for each participant after the study was completed. What is the most appropriate set of hypotheses for this study?

Harwood and Naylor (1969) wondered whether visual memory changes with age. A standardized test shows that when young adults (mean age 24 years) have learned to recognize 20 line drawings of common objects, they recognize about 75% of these in a surprise test four weeks later. Harwood and Naylor conducted the same experiment with a random sample of older adults from Montreal, a second random sample of older adults from Maberly, and a third random sample of older adults from Aylmer. The researchers recorded the percentage of recognized drawings (on the surprise test) for each older participant. The data for this question is below. Use this data to answer the following question: determine zalpha/2 for 81% confidence interval around d for the data collected in Maberly.. please give the answer to 5 decimal places. 58 75 78 82 75 82 70 62 75 72 58 68 60 67 60 51 66 54 81 71 61 62 71 72 71 80 69 47 68 75 64 55 82 66
In the early 1970s, a young man challenged an Oklahoma state law that prohibited the sale of 3.2% beer to males under age 21 but allowed its sale to females in the same age group. The case (Craig v. Boren, 429 U.S. 190, 1976) was ultimately heard by the U.S. Supreme Court. The state of Oklahoma argued that the law improved traffic safety. One of the three main pieces of data presented to the court was the result of a “random roadside survey.” This survey gathered information on gender and whether or not the driver had been drinking alcohol in the previous 2 hours. A total of 619 drivers under 21 years of age were included in the survey. The chi-square test statistic is approximately 1.64 for this data. Find the P-value State a conclusion at a 5% level of significance. Do you think that the data supports the Oklahoma law that forbids sale of 3.2% beer to males and permits it to females? See image.
Cat Ownership and Schizophrenia Could owning a cat as a child be related to mental illness later in life? Toxoplasmosis is a disease transmitted primarily through contact with cat feces, and has recently been linked with schizophrenia and other mental illnesses. Also, people infected with Toxoplasmosis tend to like cats more and are 2.5 times more likely to get in a car accident, due to delayed reaction times. The CDC estimates that about 22.5% of Americans are infected with Toxoplasmosis (most have no symptoms), and this prevalence can be as high as 95 % in other parts of the world. A study' randomly selected 262 people registered with the National Alliance for the Mentally III (NAMI), almost all of whom had schizophrenia, and for each person selected, chose two people from families without mental illness who were the same age, sex, and socioeconomic status as the person selected from NAMI. Each participant was asked whether or not they owned a cat as a child. The results showed that…
Suppose that 73.2% of all adults with type 2 diabetes also suffer from hypertension. After developing a new drug to treat type 2 diabetes, a team of researchers at a pharmaceutical company wanted to know if their drug had any impact on the incidence of hypertension for diabetics who took their drug. The researchers selected a random sample of 1000 participants who had been taking their drug as part of a recent large-scale clinical trial and found that 718 suffered from hypertension. The researchers want to use a one‑sample ?z‑test for a population proportion to see if the proportion of type 2 diabetics who have hypertension while taking their new drug, ?p, is different from the proportion of all type 2 diabetics who have hypertension. They decide to use a significance level of ?=0.01α=0.01. Determine the value of the ?z‑test statistic. Give your answer precise to two decimal places. Determine the ?-valueP-value for this test. Give your answer precise to three decimal places.
In a study of 301 Hispanic women living in San Antonia, Texas, one variable of interest was the percentage of subjects with impaired fasting glucose (IFG). IFG refers to a metabolic stage intermediate between normal glucose homeostasis and diabetes. In the study, 24 women were classified in the IFG stage. The article cites population estimates for IFG among Hispanic women in Texas as 6.3%. Is there sufficient evidence to indicate the population of Hispanic women in San Antonio has a prevalence of IFG higher than 6.3%? Use 95% confidence level and the p -value method to form your conclusion. Define x.
Part 1 of 4 A pharmaceutical company claims their new diabetes medication results in less variance in a patient's glucose level than if the patient were on no medication at all. An endocrinologist wishes to test this claim. She divides participants randomly into two groups. Group A consists of 20 diabetics who received the medication; group B consists of 26 diabetics who received a placebo. After two weeks, the blood sugar level of each patient in each group was measured with the following results (in mg/dL): Group A: 77.8, 229.4, 199.9, 110.1, 180.2, 116.1, 139.7, 171.1, 37.4, 158.1, 88.4, 195.5, 246.1, 142.4, 178.1, 105.5, 179.6, 146.1, 78.8, 123.7 Group B: 124.5, 130.1, 136, 162.8, 113.4, 72.8, 142.6, 50.3, 179.8, 197, 230, 194.3, 171, 109.3, 114.4, 107.5, 114.7, 195.3, 127.7, 126.4, 85.6, 166.7, 182.3, 113.5, 216.7, 162.8 Perform a hypothesis test using a 6% level of significance to test the pharmaceutical company's claim.

Does posting calorie content for menu items affect people’s choices in fast food restaurants? According to results obtained by Elbel, Gyamfi, and Kersh (2011), the answer is no. The researchers monitored the calorie content of food purchases for children and adolescents in four large fast food chains before and after mandatory labeling began in New York City. Although most of the adolescents reported noticing the calorie labels, apparently the labels had no effect on their choices. Data similar to the results obtained show an average of M = 786 calories per meal with s = 85 for n = 100 children and adolescents before the labeling, compared to an average of M = 772 calories with s = 91 for a similar sample of n = 100 after the mandatory posting. Use a two-tailed test with α = .05 to determine whether the mean number of calories after the posting is significantly different than before calorie content was posted. Calculate r2 to measure effect size for the mean difference.
An independent research group has been studying the chances that an accident at a nuclear power plant will result in radiation leakage. The group considers that the only possible types of accidents at a reactor are fire, mechanical failure, and human error, and that two or more accidents never occur together. It has performed studies that indicate that if there were a fire, a radiation leak would occur 20 percent of the time; if there were a mechanical failure, a radiation leak would occur 50 percent of the time; and if there were a human error, a radiation leak would occur 10 percent of the time. Its studies have also shown that the probability of A fire and a radiation leak occurring together is 0.0010. A mechanical failure and a radiation leak occurring together is 0.0015. A human error and a radiation leak occurring together is 0.0012. (a)What are the respective probabilities of a fire, mechanical failure, and human error? (b)What are the respective probabilities that a…
In a study examining the effect of humor on interpersonal attractions, McGee and Shevlin (2009) found that a man's sense of humor had significant effect on how he was perceieved by woman. In the study, female college students were given brief descriptions of a po tential romantic partner and then rated the attractiveness of the male on a scale from 1 (low) to 7 (high). The fictitious male was described positively as being single , ambitious, and having good job prospects. In one dition, the description also said that he had a great sense of humor. The results showed that the description was rated significantly higher when "a sense of humor" was included. To further examine this effect, a researcher selected a sample of n = 16colle college males and asked them to read a brief description of a female and then rate the attractiveness of the woman in the description . The description had been used in previous research but was modified by adding a statement describing a good sense of humor…
st is 22. Oishi and Shigehiro (2010) report that people who move from home to home frequently as children tend to have lower than average levels of well-being as adults. To further examine this relationship, a psychologist obtains a sample of n = 12 young adults who each experienced 5 or more different homes before they were 16 years old. These participants were given a standardized well-being questionnaire for which the general population has a
A teaching assistant for a psychology course is curious about what factors are associated with higher final grades in the course. She finds that students who read the textbook tend to have higher final grades in the course. She finds that students who watch the lecture videos tend to have higher final grades in the course. Lastly, she finds that students who read the textbook and watch the lecture videos tend to have the highest grades in the course. Assuming that any difference is statistically significant, which of the following best characterizes these results? 1 main effect and O interaction effects 1 main effect and 1 interaction effect O main effects and O interaction effects 2 main effects and 1 interaction effect O main effects and 1 interaction effect 2 main effects and O interaction effects
You are concerned that nausea may be a side effect of Tamiflu, but you cannot just give Tamiflu to patients with the flu and say that nausea is a side effect if people become nauseous. This is because nausea is common for people who have the flu.Past studies state that about 33% of people who get the flu experience nausea. You collected data on 2248 patients who were taking Tamiflu to relieve symtoms of the flu, and found that 810 experienced nausea. You decide to carry out a simulation to test the claim that the percentage of people who take Tamiflu for the relief of flu symtoms and experience nausea is greater than 33%.a) Identify the null and alternative hypotheses.H0H0: ? p = p ≠ p < p > p ≤ p ≥ μ = μ ≠ μ < μ > μ ≤ μ ≥ H1H1: ? p = p ≠ p < p > p ≤ p ≥ μ = μ ≠ μ < μ > μ ≤ μ ≥
