6. In the book Business Research Methods (5th ed.), Donald R. Cooper and C. William Emory discuss studying the relationship between on-the-job accidents and smoking. Cooper and Emory describe the study as follows: Suppose a manager implementing a smoke-free workplace policy is interested in whether smoking affects worker accidents. Since the company has complete reports of on-the-job accidents, she draws a sample of names of workers who were involved in accidents during the last year. A similar sample from among workers who had no reported accidents in the last year is drawn. She interviews members of both groups to determine if they are smokers or not. The sample results are given in the following table.
. A developmental psychologist would like to determine how much fine motor skill improves for children from age 3 to age 4. He takes a random sample of 9 three-year old children and gives each a manual dexterity test that measures fine motor skill. He tests these same children a year later, when they are each four-years old. Higher scores on this test indicate better fine motor skills. Scores are recorded in the table below. Is there a significant difference in the motor skills from age three to four? Test with an α = 0.05. What type of error is possible based on the outcome? What is the mean motor skill score for the children at age three? What is the mean motor skill score for the children at age four? Explain the advantage of using a dependent measures design over the independent measures design. What are some disadvantages?
A) We have just conducted a study examining how much math anxiety students experience after taking a statistics class. We want to know if students on average are reporting low (1) or high (7) levels of math anxiety. To do that, we want to compare the math anxiety levels of the students after they have taken a statistics course to the average population math anxiety. We believe that the students on average will have a level of math anxiety that differs from the population.

A statistical program is recommended. Jensen Tire & Auto is in the process of deciding whether to purchase a maintenance contract for its new computer wheel alignment and balancing machine. Managers feel that maintenance expense should be related to usage, and they collected the following information on weekly usage (hours) and annual maintenance expense (in hundreds of dollars). Weekly Usage(hours) AnnualMaintenanceExpense 13 17.0 10 22.0 20 30.0 28 37.0 32 47.0 17 30.5 24 32.5 31 39.0 40 51.5 38 40.0 #1) Develop the estimated regression equation that could be used to predict the annual maintenance expense (in hundreds of dollars) given the weekly usage (in hours). (Round your numerical values to two decimal places.) #2) The expected expense of a machine being used 34 hours per week is $ hundred.
