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 conduct an experiment to determine which environment is best suited for studying - a library, in one's own room, or outside. A total of 30 university students volunteer to participate in the experiment. The researcher believes that gender has an effect on the results. What are the treatments in the experiment?
In a study about learning styles, researchers used a group of 64 elementary school students who volunteered to be part of the study. The researchers gave each student a pre-test and based upon the results, they divided them into 32 pairs of similarly scoring students. School administrators then randomly assigned one student from each pair to mathematics instruction online while the other student received in-person instruction in a traditional classroom. At the end of the year, all 64 students received a mathematics assessment, measured on a 100-point scale. The researchers calculated the difference (in person −− online) in the mathematics assessment scores for each pair of students. The 32 differences had a mean of 15 and a standard deviation of 3.9 points. Construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the mean difference (in person −− online) in the mathematics assessment scores for all pairs of students like these who learn math either face-to-face or online.
The Stanford University Heart Transplant Study was conducted to determine whether an experimental heart transplant program increased lifespan. Each patient entering the program was officially designated a heart transplant candidate, meaning that he was gravely ill and might benefit from a new heart. Patients were randomly assigned into a treatment and control groups. Patients in the treatment group received a transplant and those in the control group did not. The table below displays how many patients survived and died in each group. control treatment alive 4 24 dead 30 45 Explain why we cannot construct a confidence interval or a hypothesis test (hint: consider the conditions).
A study prospectively examined whether sleep-disordered breathing was associated with an increased risk of death from any cause in a cohort of 600 adults participating in the Sleep Heart Health Study. Study participants were classified into four groups depending on the extent of their sleep-disordered breathing (none, mild, moderate, or severe). The counts of deaths over the course of the study are reported for each group in the following two-way table. Mild Severe 100 Death No Death Total None 40 100 140 40 100 140 Moderate 20 100 120 Total 200 400 600 100 200 We want to know whether the study findings give evidence of a significant difference of the number of deaths between the different groups.

A case-control study was conducted to find out whether meditation practice was negatively associated with blood pressure among adults. Investigators identified 100 adults with high blood pressure. The investigators recruited 400 people without normal or low blood pressure into the control group. All participants were given a questionnaire asking them whether they practiced meditation during the previous year. Among participants with high blood pressure, 25 reported that they practiced meditation during the previous year; a total of 125 control participants reported meditation. a. Create a 2x2 table for exposition (meditation) and health problem (high blood pressure). b. Calculate the odds ratio of having high blood pressure relative to those who meditated during the last year relative to those who did not. c. Interpret this odds ratio.
Each year, researchers at the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) administer the American Time Use Survey (ATUS). Researchers estimate the average amount of time Americans spend on daily activities, such as working, housework, and leisure activities. In particular, one activity that is of interest is the average amount of time Americans spend watching television each day.A researcher complied a random sample of 16 Americans and asked each person how much time they spent watching television each day. The results are given below. 1.9 2.3 3.9 4.4 3.2 1.5 1.2 4.4 0.9 4 0.6 3.9 4.5 1.9 1.8 3.7 Determine the point estimate, x¯ and the sample standard deviation, s.

Report the confidence interval using interval notation. Round solutions to two decimal places, if…
his question refers to excavations at a national monument. One question the archaeologists asked was: Is raw material used by prehistoric Indians for stone tool manufacture independent of the archaeological excavation site? Two different excavation sites gave the information in the following table. Use a chi-square test with 5% level of significance to test the claim that raw material used for construction of stone tools and excavation site are independent.

(b) Find the value of the chi-square statistic for the sample. (Round the expected frequencies to at least three decimal places. Round the test statistic to three decimal places.)
A study was conducted to explore the possibility of a audiobook treatment effect on sleep quality (better, worse). One version of the study involved 32 uber drivers. The uber drivers were given the option to choose which group they were in. One group listened to an audiobook while they slept, while the other group did not. The researchers found a difference of 21.9 percentage points between the proportion of uber drivers in each group who experienced better sleep quality. The group that listened to an audiobook had the higher proportion. The tail proportion from a randomisation test carried out with the data from the study was 1/1000.
