Researchers studied symptom distress and palliative care designation among a sample of 900 hospitalized patients. They reported that women had higher average distress scores from anxiety (2.44) than men (2.20) but that this association was not significant. Which statement is correct? - This result may not be correct because women are more distressed by anxiety, - the p value associated with this test was < alpha - if this result were incorrect it would be a type I error, - If this result were incorrect it would be a type II error.

In a random sample of males, it was found that 23 write with their left hands and 225 do not. In a random sample of females, it was found that 59 write with their left hands and 470 do not. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the rate of left-handedness among males is less than that among females.
A clinical trial is planned to compare an experimental medication designed to lower blood pressure to a placebo. Before starting the trial, a pilot study is conducted involving eight participants. The objective of the study is to assess how systolic blood pressure changes over time untreated. Systolic blood pressures are measured at baseline and again 4 weeks later Is there a statistically significant difference in blood pressures over time? Run the test at a 5% level of significance. Give each of the following to receive full credit: 1) the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses; 2) the appropriate test; 3) the decision rule; 4) the calculation of the test statistic; and 5) your conclusion including a comparison to alpha or the critical value. You MUST show all your work to receive full credit. Partial credit is available. Baseline 4 weeks 135 136 150 142 143 135 160 158 152 155 143 140 133 128 146 129
A national organization that conducts research on the cost and quality of health care in the U.S. reported that, in 2012, U.S. families spent an average of $9,590 on health care expenses. Suppose you decide to test whetherthe average in 2015 is greater than the average in 2012. After conducting the appropriate statistical test, you find a P-value of 0.022. If the level of significance is 0.05, which of the following is the best interpretation of the P-value? a. The P-value of 0.022 indicates that there is a 2.2% chance that the 2015 average is greater than the average amount spent in 2012.b. The P-value of 0.022 provides weak evidence that the average in 2015 average is greater than the average amount spent in 2012.c. The P-value of 0.022 provides strong evidence that the 2015 average is greater than the average amount spent in 2012.d. The P-value of 0.022 indicates that there is a very low probability that the 2015 average is different than average amount spent in 2012.
A poll was conducted to investigate opinions about global warming. The respondents who answered yes when asked if there is solid evidence that the earth is getting warmer were then asked to select a cause of global warming. The results are given in the accompanying data table. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the sex of the respondent is independent of the choice for the cause of global warming. Do men and women appear to agree, or is there a substantial difference? identify the null and alternative hypothesis What is the test statistic? What is the p-value? What is the critical value?

A large company that produces allergy medications claims that Americans lose an average of 40 hours of work to problems related to seasonal allergies. A consumer advocacy group believes that company's claim exhibits self-interest bias. In other words, the advocacy group believes that the actual mean number of missed hours is less than claimed. The advocacy group would like to obtain statistical evidence about this issue and takes a random sample of 100 American workers. They find that these 100 people lost and average of 38 hours due to seasonal allergy symptoms. The standard deviation is 9.5 hours. (c) Based on your selection from part (b), what is the value of the standardized test statistic for this significance test? (d) Based on your selection from part (b), what is the P-value for this significance test? (e) What is the correct decision for this test, using a 0.05 level of signifcance? A) Reject the null hypothesis B) Do not reject the null…
The first question in in the second picture gets a little cut off, it says "the test statistic for this is ___". Thank you!
A psychologist wanted to study the effect of television violence on cortisol levels in the blood (high scores indicate high levels). The psychologist measured cortisol levels in seven participants before and after the participants watched a violent show. Participants' cortisol level scores are listed below. The researcher is interested if there is a change in the cortisol levels after watching the violent show. Carry out a t test for dependent means (using the .01 significance level). What should the researcher conclude? a.) Use the five steps of hypothesis testing. Label all the steps clearly. Show ALL work/calculations. b.) Report the statistic in APA format (the statistical sentence).

An experiment was conducted to test if 2 new anti-anxiety medications will have an effect on number of anxiety symptoms. The researcher randomly assigned participants to one of the three experimental groups. Groups 1 and 2 took the 2 new medications while Group 3 took a placebo pill. The researcher was interested in determining whether there would be a difference in the number of anxiety symptoms among the three groups. Assume an alpha level of 0.05 and a two-tailed test. What statistical test should you use to evaluate the hypothesis above? one-way independent ANOVA Pearson Product-Moment Correlation simple linear regression multiple linear regression three-way independent ANOVA
The drug Ritalin is designed to stimulate the central nervous system. In a random sample of 252 boys aged ten – twelve years old, it was found that 44 of the boys were taking Ritalin. It is known that the proportion of all boys aged 13 – 15 who take Ritalin is 24%. A researcher claims that the population proportions of boys who take Ritalin aged 10 – 12 is different than boys aged 13 – 15. Can you support this claim at the 5% significance level? a. Conduct a hypothesis test to test the claim at the 5% significance level. Be sure to state you Ho and Ha, your test statistic and p-value, whether or not you reject Ho and whether you support the claim. b. Show that you can use the large sample methodology. c. Write a complete sentence describing what a Type I error is in context.
What is the power of a study using a correlation, with a one-tailed test at the .05 significance level, in which the researchers predict a large effect size and there are 50 participants? How many participants do you need for 80% power in a planned study in which you predict a small effect size and will be using a correlation, one-tailed, at the .05 significance level?
