17. A researcher wanted to see what had a larger affect on weight loss and tested number of minutes of exercise (30 minutes vs. 60 minutes and 90 minutes) per day and number of hours of sleep (6, 7 or 8 hours) on their weight loss. The conditions had 9 participants each. Please fill in the missing values in table below. Start with the degrees of freedom values and using algebra calculate the other values for each category. (It might be helpful to have equations from this chapter handy to reference). Source SS df MS F Between treatments 144.00 Factor A (exercise) 18.00 Factor B (hours of sleep) AxB 7.00 Within Treatments Total 360.00 18. Why are the results considered partial when referring to the eta square (η2) for the factorial ANOVA?
If a = 1, b 1 = 10, b 2 = 10, X 1 = 2, and X 2 = 3, what would the predicted Y score be?
We are interested in estimating the proportion of people that can identify Nebraska but not Vermont. In a class of 55 students, each student was requested to select a sample of 6 people, show each person a map of the US and ask the person to identify the states of Vermont and Nebraska. The following numbers are the counts that each student got, that is, each number is the count of people in the student sample of 6, that could identify Nebraska but not Vermont.3344010110020030002020001100002010000001000200000001010Note: You can cut and past these numbers into an excel spreadsheet to help you calculate the mean and the standard deviation and compute the confidence interval.

If presenting results of a study regarding the cinquefoil of plant height of 3 plant gardens, contrast which statistical measures you have calculated are most effective at describing the height of these plants. Think about the pros and cons of each statistics measure, if you could only report 2 or 3 values, which would they be? Why?
Q1. A psychologist conducted a study on the relationship between introversion and shyness. The values are results for scales of introversion and shyness. High positive scores on each scale indicate high introversion or shyness; and high negative scores indicate low introversion or shyness. Data collected from 10 people as follows: Introversion 4 -7 -1 0 6 7 -4 -9 -5 8 Shyness 11 -7 -1 -3 0 7 -1 -8 -1 5 a) Compute the correlation coefficient relating introversion and shyness scores. b) Find the regression equation which predicts introversion from shyness. c) What introversion score would you predict from a shyness score of 7?
A researcher designed a study to test whether caffeine use enhanced performance time to run a 100 meter sprint. The participants (n=30) ran a 100 meter sprint before the consumption of caffeine on day 1 and then they ran another 100 meter sprint on the following day 2 after ingesting caffeine. The average time taken to run the 100 meter sprint on day 1 was (M1) and the average to run on day 2 after caffeine was (M2). The variance for this study was calculated to be (S2). Does caffeine use improve the running time in the 100 meter sprint (e.g., lower time)? Use all of the data provided to you below and test at an alpha of 0.05. M1 = 26.53M2 = 14.69S2 = 207.75n=30 a) state null and alternate hypothesis b) what is the critical value c) what is the obtained value d) conclusion
Several states have argued that the 65-mph speed limit has no justification and have refused to enforce it. The federal Department of Transportation (DOT) believes that the 65-mph limit saves lives. To illustrate its contention, the department regressed the number of traffic fatalities (Y) last year in a state on the state’s population (X1), the number of days of snow cover (X2), and the average speed of all cars (X3). The results are shown below. Table 10: Model Summary Model R R Square Adjusted R Square Std. Error of the Estimate 1 .821 a .780 .613 3.258 a.
