Researchers followed a random sample of 2315 middle-aged men from eastern Finland for up to 30 years. They recorded how often each man went to a sauna and whether or not he suffered sudden cardiac death (SCD). The two-way table shows the data from the study. The researchers will perform a chi-square test for independence to test the hypotheses Ho: There is no association between weekly sauna frequency and suffering from sudden cardiac death in the population of middle-aged men from eastern Finland.

Are freshmen psychology majors just as likely to change their major before they graduate compared to freshmen business majors? 366 of the 673 freshmen psychology majors from a recent study changed their major before they graduated and 394 of the 705 freshmen business majors changed their major before they graduated. What can be concluded at the a = 0.10 level of significance? For this study, we should use z-test for the difference between two population proportions a. The null and alternative hypotheses would be: Ho: p1 p2 v (please enter a decimal) H1: p1 p2 (Please enter a decimal) b. The test statistic z v -0.508 X (please show your answer to 3 decimal places.) c. The p-value = 0.6115 X (Please show your answer to 4 decimal places.) d. The p-value is > vV a e. Based on this, we should fail to reject the null hypothesis. f. Thus, the final conclusion is that ... O The results are statistically significant at a = 0.10, so there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion of…
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?
Students in one class are asked to complete the same questionnaire 3 times throughout the semester: at the beginning, at the midterm, and at the end. The purpose of the questionnaire is to track students' perception of their progress at different points in the semester. Scores at Time 1 (beginning of the semester), Time 2 (midterm), and Time 3 (end of semester) are compared against one another. What type of analysis of variance would be appropriate for examining the results from this dataset?
A large clinical trial of the effect of diet on breast cancer assigned women at random to either a normal diet or a low-fat diet. To check that the random assignment did produce comparable groups, we can compare the two groups at the start of the study. Asked if there is a family history of breast cancer: 1276 of the 5964 women in the low-fat group and 1507 of the 7726 women in the control group said "Yes." If the random assignment worked well, there should not be a significant difference in the proportions with a family history of breast cancer. How significant is the observed difference? State: Is there evidence of a difference in the proportion of women with a family history of breast cancer between the treatment and control groups? Plan: Let pi be the proportion for the treatment group, and Pz the proportion for the control group. State the hypotheses for your test. Ha:Pi + P2 Solve: Give the value of the test statistic. Use the calculator. Select an answer ♥ Ho:pi = p2 What is the…
A small pilot study is run to compare a new drug for chronic pain to one that is currently available. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either the new drug or the currently available drug and report improvement in pain on a 5-point ordinal scale: 1=Pain is much worse, 2=Pain is slightly worse, 3= No change, 4=Pain improved slightly, 5=Pain much improved. Is there a significant difference in self-reported improvement in pain? Use the Mann-Whitney U test with a 5% level of significance. Please show work. New Drug: 4 5 3 3 4 2 Standard Drug: 2 3 4 1 2 3
Researchers examine the association between the fluoridation of water and the prevention of tooth decay by comparing the prevalence of tooth decay in countries that have fluoridated water with the prevalence in countries that do not. Is this a randomized experiment or an observational study? Assume that tooth decay was seen to be less common in countries with fluoridated water. Could this result be due to confounding?
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?
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.
Mood variation is related to photoperiod in some people, and the likelihood of depression increases in the winter months. As a result, people often assume that suicide rates increase in winter. A study in Finland (Valtonen et al. 2006) divided the year 1997 into equal halves and compared the number of suicides in “winter” (24 September to 19 March) and “summer” (remainder of year). Out of a total of 1636 suicides, 766 were in winter and 870 were in the summer. Based on these data, estimate the proportion of suicides that occurred in winter, assuming that the suicides were independent. Are the data compatible with a greater suicide rate in winter than summer, based on a 95% confidence interval?
A researcher was interested in comparing the resting pulse rate of people who exercise regularly and people who do not exercise regularly. Independent random samples of 16 people aged 30-40 who do not exercise regularly (sample 1) and 12 people aged 30-40 who do exercise regularly (sample 2) were selected and the resting pulse rate of each person was measured. The summary statistics are as follows: Pulse Rate data Group 1 (no exercise) Group 2 (exercise) average 72.7 69.7 standard deviation 10.9 8.2 sample size 16 12 Test the claim that the mean resting pulse rate of people who do not exercise regularly is greater than the mean resting pulse rate of people who exercise regularly, use 0.01 as the significance level. Round you answer to 3 decimal places. Group of answer choices p-value=0.207, evidence not support claim p-value=0.267, evidence support claim p-value=0.414, evidence not support claim p-value=0.793, evidence not support claim p-value=0.207, evidence…
You are conducting a study of three types of feed supplements for cattle to test their effectiveness in producing weight gain among calves whose feed includes one of the supplements. You have four groups of 30 calves (one is a control group receiving the usual feed, but no supplement). You will conduct a one-way ANOVA after one year to see if there are difference in the mean weight for the four groups. If SSbetween = 369.3 and SStotal = 945.1 for this data. Identify the SSwithin
An HIV clinical trial with 1151 subjects was conducted. We will focus on two variables from this trial: IVDrug and Age. IVDrug is a categorical variable that indicates whether each subject never, previously, or currently uses IV drugs. Age lists the subject's age in year. Thus, we have age for subjects in three treatment groups. Assume that the samples were collected independently and come from a normally distributed population with equal variances. An ANOVA is used to test whether average age in the three IV drug groups is the same. A partially filled-in ANOVA table is listed below. Use a significance level of 0.05. p-value Treatment Error Total df SS MS 76.77 F 7.5586
