restaurant is experiencing discontentment among its customers. It analyses that there are three factors responsible viz. food quality, service quality and interior décor. By conducting an analysis, it assesses the probabilities of discontentment with the three factors as 0.40, 0.35 and 0.25, respectively. By conducting a survey among customers, it also evaluate the probabilities of a customer going away discontented on account of these factors as :0.6, 0.8 and 0.5,respectively.With this information ,the restaurant wants to know that if a customer is discontented ,what are the probabilities that it is so due to food, service or interior décor.

Studies indicate that excessive noise at night can affect weight gain. One study of n = 127 rats compared the weight gain of rats exposed to excessive noise at night and the weight gain of rats in a quiet night environment. Sample statistics for the study are given in the table below. Use this information to determine if there is significant evidence that weight gain of rats exposed to excessive noise at night is different on average than weight gain of rats in a quiet night environment. Excessive noise at night environment (Group 1) Quiet night environment (Group 2) Sample mean (grams) 22.4 19.9 Sample standard deviation (grams) 6.4 3.8 Observations/Sample size 69 58 Is this a one-tailed or a two-tailed test? Explain in one or two sentences.
A graduate student is interested in how viewing different types of scenes affects working memory. For his study, he selects a random sample of 36 adults. The subjects complete a series of working memory tests before and after walking in an urban setting. Before the walk, the mean score on the test of working memory was 9.1. After the walk, the mean score was 1.4 higher. The graduate student has no presupposed assumptions about how viewing different types of scenes affects working memory, so he formulates the null and alternative hypotheses as: H00 : μDD = 0 H11 : μDD ≠ 0 Assume that the data satisfy all of the required assumptions for a repeated-measures t test. The graduate student calculates the following statistics for his hypothesis test: Mean difference (MDD) 1.4 Estimated population standard deviation of the differences (s) 1.6 Estimated standard error of the mean differences (sMDMD) 0.2667 Degrees of freedom (df) 35 The t statistic 5.25 The critical values of t…

A researcher gathered a sample of participants who volunteered for a studying of phobias. She measured anxiety level of participants as they viewed photos of spiders and again when they viewed puppies. Which statistical test is appropriate for this study and why?
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 survey was conducted to determine whether hours of sleep per night are independent of age. A sample of individuals was asked to indicate the number of hours of sleep per night with categorical options: fewer than 6 hours, 6 to 6.9 hours, 7 to 7.9 hours, and 8 hours or more. Later in the survey, the individuals were asked to indicate their age with categorical options: age 39 or younger and age 40 or older. Sample data follow.

Computer-mediated communication (CMC) is a form of interaction that heavily involves technology (e.g., instant messaging, email). A study was conducted to compare relational intimacy in people interacting via CMC to people meeting face-to-face (FTF). Participants were 48 undergraduate students, of which half were randomly assigned to the CMC group and half assigned to the FTF group. The variable of interest, relational intimacy score, was measured (on a 7-point scale) for each participant after each of three different meeting sessions. Summary statistics for the first meeting session are given here. The researchers hypothesized that, after the first meeting, the mean relational intimacy score for participants in the CMC group would be lower than the mean relational intimacy score for participants in the FTF group. Test the researchers’ hypothesis using α = .10. CMC FTF Number…

A radio talk show asks listeners to call in and say whom they are going to vote for in the next presidential election. Of the 587 callers, 71% say they favor one of the candidates, while 29% favor the other. Does this convince you that the first candidate is likely to win the election? Why or why not? What is statistical issue is involved here?
In a UK business school, lecturers have tried to determine if the number of hours students attend lectures has any measurable effect on the grades obtained by the students. The following data from a sample of 14 students in an international business class show hours of attendance and resulting grades.(22, 72), (20, 64), (24, 70), (8, 34), (12, 40), (16, 40),(18, 52), (16, 45), (20, 68), (24, 65), (28, 72),(20, 64), (10, 38), (16, 44)a.

In a study examining the effect of humor on interpersonal attractions, McGee and Shevlin (2009) foundthat a man’s sense of humor had a significant effect onhow he was perceived by women. In the study, femalecollege students were given brief descriptions of a potential romantic partner and then rated the attractivenessof the male on a scale from 1 (low) to 7 (high). Thefictitious male was described positively as being single,ambitious, and having good job prospects. In one condition, the description also said that he had a great senseof humor. The results showed that the description wasrated significantly higher when “a sense of humor” wasincluded. To further examine this effect, a researcherselected a sample of n = 16 college males and askedthem to read a brief description of a female and thenrate the attractiveness of the woman in the description.The description had been used in previous research butwas modified by adding a statement describing a goodsense of humor. Based on the…
