Researchers compared the balance of a sample of elderly (E) patients with that of a separate sample of younger (Y ) patients. They exposed members of each age group to unpredictable noises and measured the amount of forward and backward sway. To test whether the elderly tend to sway more, they should choose which pair of hypotheses?

According to a Pew Research Center study, in May 2011, 33% of all American adults had a smart phone (one which the user can use to read email and surf the Internet). A communications professor at a university believes this percentage is higher among community college students. She selects 320 community college students at random and finds that 135 of them have a smart phone. In testing the hypotheses: Ho: p = 0.33 versus Ha: p > 0.33 Do the hypothesis test. Use a level of significance of a = 0.05; Use the unrounded values in Excel to find the answers for #3 and #4. 1. This is an example of a hypothesis test. 2. Find the standard error. 3. Find the z value. 4. Find the p-value. 5. The communication professor should the null hypothesis.
A pollof 2000 randomly selected students in grades 6 through 8 was conducted and found that 48% enjoy playing sports. Is the 48% result a statistic or a parameter?
Dr. Mackintosh believes a new olfactory therapy would be more successful in promoting weight loss among obese patients. His patients are first weighed and then randomly assigned to olfactory therapy, dance therapy, or a control condition. At the end of the three weeks, the amount of weight lost is recorded. The results indicate no significant difference in the amount of weight lost between the three conditions. If true differences existed between the conditions, but they were not detected, what kind of error occurred?
A recent study of 1000 high school juniors and seniors asked whether or not they felt smartphones are a valuable learning tool. Additional data were gathered on their smartphone plan (unlimited data, additional texting, or standard voice plan) and which class they were in (junior vs. senior). Which of the following is a correct pair of hypotheses the researchers could test? (A) Ho: The proportion of juniors and seniors who feel smartphones are a valuable learning tool is the same for students that have each type of plan. Ha: The proportion of juniors and seniors who feel smartphones are a valuable learning tool is not the same for students that have each type of plan (B) Ho: The proportion of students who feel smartphones are a valuable learning tool is the same for students that have each type of plan. Ha: The proportion of students who feel smartphones are a valuable learning tool is not the same for students that have each type of plan. (C) Ho: There is an association between class…

Over the past few decades, public health officials have examined the link between weight concerns and teen girls' smoking. Researchers surveyed a group of 273 randomly selected teen girls living in Massachusetts (between 12 and 15 years old). After four years the girls were surveyed again. Sixty-three said they smoked to stay thin. Is there good evidence that more than thirty percent of the teen girls smoke to stay thin? Correctly identify the null and alternative hypotheses:
A bank conducts a survey in which it randomly samples 400 of its customers. The survey asks the customers which way they use the bank the most: (1) interacting with a teller at the bank, (2) using ATM's or (3) using the bank's online banking service. It also asks their level of satisfaction with the service they most often use (on a scale of 0-10 with 0= very poor and 10=excellent). Does mean satisfaction differ according to how they most use the bank? a) Identifying notation, state the null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis for conducting an ANOVA with data from the survey. b) Report the df values for this ANOVA. Above what F statistic values give a P=value below 0.05? c) For the data, F=0.46 and the P-value equals 0.63. what can you conclude? d)What were the assumptions on which the ANOVA was based? Which assumption is the most important? e) based on answer C, do you think it is necessary to conduct Tukey's multiple comparisons? Why or why not?
The worker on examining his 20 rainfall sample points concluded that it is more than likely to rain on this May 1st. Describe two or three statistical steps he took to arrive at this conclusion.
Does buttered toast fall face down? Data was collected to test this. 40 slices of toast (each with butter on one side) were dropped (from the same height). 24 slices (60%) landed buttered side down. We would like to use the results of this study to determine if there is statistical evidence that toast tends to land buttered side down more than 50% of the time.

A study in a journal published by the American Academy of Pediatrics (as reported in the Miami Herald, Jan. 14, 1997) seems to suggest that preschoolers who drink more than 12 ounces of fruit juice a day tend to be heavier and shorter than preschoolers who do not. The study involved a random sample of 168 healthy youngsters of whom 59 drank on average more than 12 ounces of fruit juice per day. Each child was weighed and measured. The measurements were then converted to percentage of normal height and weight for a child of that age and gender. For example, a weight percentage of 1.1 indicates that the child is 10% heavier than average. A recorded 0.80 indicates the child is 20% below the average. An average weight is recorded as 1.0. Same with height. Column 1: Juice 1- indicates child DID drink > 12 oz 2- child DID NOT drink > 12 oz Column 2: Weight% weight converted to percent of…
