Suppose we used General Social Survey data to examine the relationship between educational attainment (RDEGREE: 0 = less than high school,1 = bigh school degree, 2 = some college or more) and the variable HELPPOOR, which measures support of the statement that the government in Washington should do everything possible to improve the standard of living of all poor Americans. The obtained chi-square is 40.43. Based on an alpha of .05, do you reject the null hypothesis? Explain. %3D

A research company wants to determine whether there is a difference in effectiveness of a brand- name ibuprofen and generic ibuprofen. What are the appropriate hypotheses for this testing scenario? Let µ equal the mean of the effectiveness of brand-name ibuprofen and µ2 equal the mean of the effectiveness of generic ibuprofen.

10.3.15-T In a study, researchers wanted to measure the effect of alcohol on the hippocampal region, the portion of the brain responsible for long-term memory storage, in adolescents. The researchers randomly selected 20 adolescents with alcohol use disorders to determine whether the hippocampal volumes in the alcoholic adolescents were less than the normal volume of 9.02 cm. An analysis of the sample data revealed that the hippocampal volume is approximately normal with no outliers and x= 8.03 cm and s =0.8 cm°. Conduct the appropriate test at the a= 0.01 level of significance. Ho: = 9.02 H1:p < 9.02 (Type integers or decimals. Do not round.) Identify the t-statistic. to = - 5.53 (Round to two decimal places as needed.) Identify the P-value. P-value = (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
3) Two hundred hypertensive patients are assigned to a diet program. Blood pressure is measured on each patient both before the program starts and 3 months after the start of the program. The correct statistical procedure to determine whether or not the mean blood pressure change (after-before) changed significantly different in the patients is: a. Paired t-test b. 2 sample unpaired t-test c. Fisher's exact test (an exact version of the chi-squared test for 2x2 contingency tables) d. None of the above

Part 1 of 4 A doctor in Oklahoma City wants to know whether the average life span for heart disease patients at four hospitals in the city differ. The data below represents the life span, in years, of heart disease patients from each hospital. Perform an ANOVA test with a 10% level of significance to test whether the average life span of heart disease patients in Oklahoma City differs depending on the hospital that treats them Life Span of Patients Treated at Hospital 1: 8.1, 1.2, 7, 11.5, 21, 2, 15.3, 19.2, 10.5, 15.4, 12.7, 15.3, 12.1, 7.5, 11.4, 16.4, 26.7, 14.6, 1.5, 16.3, 12.6, 0.8, 18.2, 4.2, 9.6, 21, 16.3, 2.7 Life Span of Patients Treated at Hospital 2: 17.6, 11.6, 16.8, 5.2, 6.7, 3.2, 13.8, 12.5, 0.9, 6, 14.3, 1.8, 14.8, 10, 5.8, 15.2, 10, 3.7, 11.4, 21.6, 12.9, 0.5, 9.2, 13.9, 10.9 Life Span of Patients Treated at Hospital 3: 8.5, 2.3, 11, 7.4, 14.8, 5.8, 11, 3.4, 10.9, 1.1, 5.9, 21.6, 12.5, 0.1, 15.5, 15.4, 0.8, 7.7, 5.6, 12, 7.1 Life Span of Patients Treated at Hospital 4:…
A researcher hypothesizes that different colors of cars result in different average speeds. To test this claim, she took a random sample of 20 people who own 4 different colors of colors of cars (n = 20, N = 80, G = 4), and she then tracks their average speed on the highway for a week of driving. The following ANOVA table has some of her results. Please help her answer her research questions by completing the following ANOVA table below and answering the follow-up questions.

Researchers asked soda drinkers to view either the logo for their favorite soda or a graphic warning demonstrating the harmful effects of sugary beverages (e.g., tooth decay, obesity) and then measured their negative mood with a short survey. They found that those participants who saw the warnings reported significantly greater negative moods than those who saw the logos. Which statistical test should be used?
Citrus Rental is a popular car rental agency that has a history of having too few cars available, so that its available cars are overdriven. The mean monthly mileage over the years for Citrus cars has been about 1600 miles per month. Recently, though, Citrus purchased thousands of new cars, and the company claims that the average mileage of its cars is now less than in the past. To test this, a random sample of 16 recent mileages of Citrus cars was taken. The mean of these 16 mileages was 1517 miles per month, and the standard deviation was 233 miles per month. Assume that the population of recent monthly mileages of Citrus cars is normally distributed. At the 0.05 level of significance, can it be concluded that the mean recent monthly mileage, μ, of Citrus cars is less than 1600 miles per month? Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places and round your answers as specified in the table. (If necessary,…

A psychologist would like to examine the effects of caffeine consumption on the activity level of preschool children. Three samples of children are selected with n = 5 in each sample. One group gets no caffeine, one group gets a small dose, and the third group gets a large dose. The psychologist records the activity level for each child during 50 minutes of unstructured play. Determine whether these data indicate significant differences among the three groups using a = .05. Your answer should include hypotheses, critical boundary, F-score, and results including notation, decision, and explanation. Calculate and interpret effect size if appropriate. Indicate whether post- hoc test results should be calculated (i.e., "yes, include" or "no, do not include"). No caffeine Small dose Large dose T= 15 T= 20 T= 25 G = 60 SS = 16 SS = 12 SS = 20 Ex2 = 298
