Suppose a researcher conducting a follow up study obtains a sample of n = 25 students classified as healthy weight and a sample of n = 36 students classified as overweight. Each student completes the food variety questionnaire, and the healthy-weight group produces a mean of M = 4.01 for the fatty, sugary snack category compared to a mean of M = 4.48 for the overweight group. The results from the Brunt, Rhee, and Zhong study showed an overall mean variety score of u = 4.22 for the discretionary sweets or fats food group. Assume that the distribution of scores is approximately normal with a standard deviation of o = D.60. Does the sample of n = 36 indicate that number of fatty, sugary snacks eaten by overweight students is significantly different from the overall population mean? Use a two-tailed test with a = .05. or the sample of overweight students, the standard error is oM = and z = which is= a) more extreme than the critical value of= less extreme than

In each of the following settings, decide whether the samples are independent or dependent. Explain your choice.a. To test the wear characteristics of two tire brands, A and B, each brand of tire is randomly assigned to 50 cars of the same make and model.independentb. To test the effect of background music on productivity, factory workers are observed. For one month, each subject works without music. For another month, the subject works while listening to music on an MP3 player. The month in which each subject listens to music is determined by a coin toss.dependentc. A study was designed to compare the effectiveness of two weight-reducing diets. Fifty obese women who volunteered to participate were randomly assigned into two equal-sized groups. One group used Diet A and the other used Diet B. The weight of each woman was measured before the diet was assigned and again after 10 weeks on the diet.dependent
A health educator wants to evaluate the effect of a dental film on the frequency with which children brush their teeth. A random selection of 8 children is used for the experiment. First, a baseline of the number of times the children brush their teeth over a month’s period is established. Next, the children are shown the dental film and again the number of teeth brushings are recorded for a month.

A researcher is interested in exploring the relationship between calcium intake and weight loss. Two different groups, each with 2626 dieters, are chosen for the study. Group A is required to follow a specific diet and exercise regimen, and also take a 500-mg supplement of calcium each day. Group B is required to follow the same diet and exercise regimen, but with no supplemental calcium. After six months on the program, the members of Group A had lost a mean of 10.4 pounds with a standard deviation of 2.6 pounds. The members of Group B had lost a mean of 11.7pounds with a standard deviation of 2.8 pounds during the same time period. Assume that the population variances are not the same. Construct a 99% confidence interval to estimate the true difference between the mean amounts of weight lost by dieters who supplement with calcium and those who do not. Let Population 1 be the amount of weight lost by Group A, who took a 500-mg supplement of calcium each day, and let Population 2 be…
Q. No. 2. A research firm tests the miles-per-gallon characteristics of four brands of gasoline. Because of different gasoline performance characteristics in different brands of automobiles, five brands of automobiles are selected and treated as blocks in the experiment; that is, each brand of automobile is tested with each type of gasoline. The results of the experiment (in miles per gallon) are as follows: a. At 5 percent level of significance, test whether the mean miles-per-gallon differ for gasoline brands or by automobiles?b. How your results will change on removing the Block effect? Explain.
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…
We are interested in analysing the effect of the lockout laws introduced in some areas of the Sydney CBD and nearby surrounds on the number of alcohol-related violent incidents. Suppose we have two samples of data on the number of violent incidents in a number of local areas of the Sydney CBD and nearby surrounds. Pubs, hotels and clubs located in a subset of these areas became subject to the lockout laws when they were introduced in 2014. The first sample is from 2010 before the introduction of the lockout laws, and the second is from 2015 after the introduction of the law. The hypothesis we wish to test is that the introduction of the lockout laws reduces violent incidents in the areas in which the lockout laws were put in place. We use a difference-in-difference model on the pooled data from 2010 and 2015. We find the following results: viol_inc hat = 33.21 (5.29) + 12.43lockout (7.01) – 4.19Yr2015 (2.98) – 3.32 (lockout x Yr2015) (1.85) N = 181, R^2 = 0.128 Where: viol_incis the…
For which of the following would it be most appropriate to use an ANOVA to analyze the data? A researcher is interested in determining the most effective format for advertising. He randomly assigns 60 people to one of three groups: (1) television commercial, (2) radio commercial, or (3) magazine advertisement. Group members review the commercial and then report whether or not they would buy the product. In order to determine the effectiveness of different diet plans, 90 people are randomly assigned to one of three groups: (1) low calorie diet, (2) low-fat diet, or (3) low-carb diet. At the end of 60 days, the number of pounds lost was recorded for each of the participants. Both A and B. Neither A nor B.
A sample of 76 female workers and another sample of 48 male workers from a state produced mean weekly earnings of $743.50 for the females and $777.63 for the males. Suppose that the population standard deviations of the weekly earnings are $80.05 for the females and $88.68 for the males. The null hypothesis is that the mean weekly earnings are the same for females and males, while the alternative hypothesis is that the mean weekly earnings for females is less than the mean weekly earnings for males.

Students at a major university in Southern California are complaining about a serious housing crunch. They are stating that many of the university's students have to commute too far to school because there is not enough housing near campus. The university officials' response is to perform a study. The study, reported in the school newspaper, contains the following histogram summarizing the commute distances for a sample of 100 students at the university. Relative frequency 0.3+ 0.2- 0.1+ 0.0 0 0.24 4 0.26 0.18 0.14 8 12 16 Commute distance (in miles) X 0.12 20 0.06 24 Based on the histogram, find the proportion of commute distances in the sample that are greater than or equal to 20 miles. Write your answer as a decimal, and do not round your answer.
