Some researchers have conjectured that stem-pitting disease in peach tree seedlings might be controlled with weed and soil treatment. An experiment was conducted to compare peach tree seedling growth with soil and weeds treated with one of two herbicides. In a field containing 20 seedlings, 10 were randomly selected from throughout the field and assigned to receive Herbicide A. The remaining 10 seedlings were to receive Herbicide B. Soil and weeds for each seedling were treated with the appropriate herbicide, and at the end of the study period, the height (in centimeters) was recorded for each seedling. A boxplot of each data set showed no indication of non-Normality. The following results were obtained: x (cm) Sx (cm) Herbicide A 94.5 10 Herbicide B 109.1 Suppose we wanted to determine if there is a significant difference in mean height for the seedlings treated with the different herbicides. To answer this question, we test the hypotheses Ho: HB - HA = 0, Ho: HB - HA+0. Based on the data, which of the following is the value of the standardized test statistic? O 14.60 O 2.54 O 7.80 O 3.43 O 1.14

A doctor released the results of clinical trials for a vaccine to prevent a particular disease. In these clinical trials, 400,000 children were randomly divided in two groups. The subjects in group 1 (the experimental group) were given the vaccine, while the subjects in group 2 (the control group) were given a placebo. Of the 200,000 children in the experimental group, 41 developed the disease. Of the 200,000 children in the control group, 109 developed the disease. Complete parts (a) through (f) below. (d) What is a placebo? OA. An innocuous medication OB. Whatever does the opposite of the actual medication OC. A pill OD. Water (e) Why is such a large number of subjects needed for this study? OA. The number of subjects is so large because the vaccine is very effective. OB. The number of subjects is so large because a large sample size is needed to ensure that the samples are independent. OC. The number of subjects is so large because these are clinical trials, which require a…
As products come off a large assembly line, they are inspected for quality. They are placed into one of three categories: pass, fail, or need additional inspection. The manager claims that 80% of the products pass the inspection, 5% fail, and 15% need additional inspection. In an effort to increase the passing rate, the machines are recalibrated. After this recalibration, a random sample of 100 products is selected. It is discovered that 85 passed inspection, 2 failed, and 13 needed additional inspection. The manager would like to know if there is convincing evidence that the distribution has changed. What is the value of the chi-square test statistic and P-value? Find the chi-square table here. χ2 = 2.38, P-value is less than 0.0005 χ2 = 2.38, P-value is greater than 0.25 χ2 = 5.10, P-value is less than 0.0005 χ2 = 5.10, P-value is greater than 0.25
A researcher is creating a new treatment protocol for Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS), a form of preleukemia. Following the old treatment protocol, 28% of patients with MDS will develop leukemia within 5 years of MDS diagnosis. He believes his new treatment protocol will lead to fewer MDS patients developing leukemia. He takes a random sample of 100 individuals on his new treatment protocol. Of these 100 individuals, 20 develop leukemia within 5 years of MDS diagnosis. In questions 8-9, create a 98% confidence interval for the true proportion of all MDS patients on this new treatment who will develop leukemia within 5 years of MDS diagnosis. What is the confidence interval? Do not round your answer. What is the interpretation of your confidence interval?
A new screening test for Lyme disease is developed for use in the general population. The sensitivity and specificity of the new test are 60% and 70%, respectively. Five hundred people are screened at a clinic during the first year the new test is implemented. Assume the true prevalence of Lyme disease among clinic attendees is 10%. Calculate the predictive value of a positive test.
Some researchers have conjectured that stem-pitting disease in peach tree seedlings might be controlled with weed and sol treatment. An experiment was conducted to compare peach tree seedling growth with sol and weeds treated with one of two herbicides. In a field containing 20 seedlings, 10 were randomly selected from throughout the field and assigned to receive Herbicide A The remaining 10 seedlings were to receive Herbicide B. Soil and weeds for each seedling were treated with the appropriate herbicide and at the end of the study period the height (in centimeters) was recorded for each seedling. A box plot of each data set showed no indication of non-Normality. The following results were obtained: x (cm) s (cm) Herbicide A 945 10 Herbicide B 109.1 A 95% confidence interval for ug - Ha is given by which of the following expressions?

The improved crop varieties are evaluated at farmers fields before their release for a large scale production. The claim made by a chickpea breeder is that, on average, her improved variety produces higher yield of chickpea compared to the local variety grown by farmers in her region. To examine her claim, the improved variety of chickpea was evaluated at 25 randomly selected farmer-fields (farms) in that region. Each field was divided into two parts, one part of the field was randomly assigned to the improved variety to be grown under a crop management practice recommended for this variety, and the other part to the local variety with an ongoing practice followed for it. You may note there were 25 different fields and the two varieties were grown within each of them. The chickpea yields of the two varieties were measured, in kg per hectare, from each of the fields. The following R- code outputs contain the information that you may use to answer the questions. The data vectors,…
Angioplasty is a medical procedure in which an obstructed blood vessel is widened. In some cases, a wire mesh tube, called a stent, is placed in the vessel to help it remain open. A study was conducted to compare the effectiveness of a bare metal stent with one that has been coated with a drug designed to prevent reblocking of the vessel. A total of 5329 patients received bare metal stents, and of these, 830 needed treatment for reblocking within a year. A total of 1125 received drug-coated stents, and 146 of them required treatment within a year. Can you conclude that the proportion of patients who needed retreatment differs between those who received bare metal stents and those who received drug-coated stents? Let p1 denote the proportion of patients with bare metal stents who needed retreatment and p2 denote the proportion of patients with drug-coated stents who needed retreatment. Use the α=0.10 level of significance and the P-value method with the TI-84 Plus calculator. a)State…
A researcher took a random sample of 200 new mothers in the United States (Group 1) and found that 16% of them experienced some form of postpartum depression. Another random sample of 200 new mothers in France (Group 2), where mothers receive 16 weeks of paid maternity leave, found that 11% experienced some form of postpartum depression. Can it be concluded that the percent of women in the United States experience more postpartum depression than the percent of women in France? Use α=0.05.

One year at a university, the algebra course director decided to experiment with a new teaching method that might reduce variability in final-exam scores by eliminating lower scores. The director randomly divided the algebra students who were registered for class at 9:40 A.M. into two groups. One of the groups, called the control group, was taught the usual algebra course; the other group, called the experimental group, was taught by the new teaching method. Both classes covered the same material, took the same unit quizzes, and took the same final exam at the same time. The final-exam scores (out of 40 possible) for the two groups are shown in the accompanying table. Find a 99% confidence interval for the ratio of the population standard deviations of final-exam scores for students taught by the conventional method and for students taught by the new method. Assume that both populations are normally distributed. (Note: s₁ = 6.613, $₂ = 5.762, and for df = (19,40), F0.005 = 2.63.) Click…
