1. Metal Tags on Penguins and Length of Foraging Trips. Data were collected over a 10-year timespan from a sample of penguins that were randomly given either metal or electronic tags. One variable examined is the length of foraging trips. Longer foraging trips can jeopardize both breeding success and survival of chicks waiting for food. From a sample of 344 foraging trips for metal-tagged penguins, the mean length was 12.70 days. From a sample of 512 foraging trips for electronic-tagged penguins, mean length was 11.60 days. Test whether foraging trips are longer on average among metal-tagged penguins than among electronic-tagged penguins. a. State hypotheses in terms of two means. b. Calculate the sample statistic XM - XE c. An estimate of the standard error for this difference of means is SE-0.2834. Calculate a test statistic to two decimal places. d.

A state-by-state survey found that the proportions of adults who are smokers in state A and state B were 22.9% and 19.3%, respectively. (Suppose the number of respondents from each state was 3000.) At a = 0.05, can you support the claim that the proportion of adults who are smokers is lower in state A than in state B? Assume the random samples are independent. Complete parts (a) through (e). (a) Identify the claim and state Ho and Ha. The claim is "the proportion of adults who are smokers in state A is the proportion of adults who are smokers in state B." Let p, and p2 be the two population proportions. State H, and Ha. Choose the correct answer below. O A. Ho: P1 = P2 Hạ: P1 # P2 O B. Ho: P1 P2 Ha: P1 SP2 D. Ho: P1 sP2 F.

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…
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.

The General Social Survey (GSS) collects data on demographics, eduction and work, among many other characteristics of US residents. Suppose we want to estimate the difference between the average number of hours worked by all Americans with a college degree and those without a college degree. Is there sufficient evidence that there is a significant difference between the average number of hours worked by those Americans with a college degree vs. those Americans without a college degree? Use the following output: Welch Two Sample t-testdata: yes and not = 3.1181, df = 1098.5, p-value = 0.001867alternative hypothesis: true difference in means is not equal to 095 percent confidence interval: 1.011652 4.445822sample estimates:mean of x mean of y 42.81574 40.08701 Using the provided output, find the 95% confidence interval for the difference of the average amount of hours worked for those that have a college degree vs. those that do not have a college degree (ie: for the difference of two…
The National Cancer Institute conducted a 2-year study to determine whether cancer death rates for areas near nuclear power plants are higher than for areas without nuclear facilities. A spokesperson for the Cancer Institute said, "From the data at hand, there was no convincing evidence of any increased risk of death from any of the cancers surveyed due to living near nuclear facilities." Let p denote the proportion of the population in areas near nuclear power plants who die of cancer during a given year. The researchers at the Cancer Institute have considered the null and alternative hypotheses below: А. Họ: p = value for areas without nuclear facilities Hạ: p> value for areas without nuclear facilities According to the spokesperson's statement, what is the conclusion of the National Cancer Institute? Select one of the following: Reject Ho Fail to reject Ho Reject Ha Fail to reject Ha
