The dataset TrafficFlow gives the delay time in seconds for 24 simulation runs in Dresden, Germany, comparing the current timed traffic light system on each run to a proposed flexible traffic light system in which lights communicate traffic flow information to neighboring lights. On average, public transportation was delayed 105 seconds under the timed system and 44 seconds under the flexible system. Since this is a matched pairs experiment, we are interested in the difference in times between the two methods for each of the 24 simulations. For the n = 24 differences D, we were given that Ip = 61 seconds with sp = 15.19 seconds. We wish to estimate the average time savings for public transportation on this stretch of road if the city of Dresden moves to the new system. The standard error is 3.1 for one set of 10,000 bootstrap samples. Find a 95% confidence interval for the average time savings. Click here for the dataset associated with this question. Round your answers to one decimal place. The 95% confidence interval is i to i

A study was performed to test the effectiveness of a new treatment for migraines. There were 125 patients in the study. Of these, 60 were randomly assigned to receive the standard treatment and 65 to receive the new treatment. All were instructed to take the medication at the onset of their next migraine and to notice if the pain of their migraine felt reduced after half an hour. Fifty patients receiving the new treatment reported reduced pain, compared with only 40 of the patients receiving the standard treatment. The results seem to favor the new treatment, but could the difference just be due to chance? In this problem, consider the null hypothesis that the percentage of patients with a reduction in pain is the same between the two treatments, versus the alternative hypothesis that the percentages are different. (a) Under the null hypothesis, the difference in the sample percentages is expected to be ___%. The standard error for the difference is estimated to be ___%. (b) Calculate…
4. From 2007 to 2016, a different intervention each year has been given to promote community organization membership. Another indicator of the dynamics of WEEL is membership. The household survey respondents were also asked of the year that they became a member of any organization. Is the decision to become a member of the organization been equally likely across interventions? In case you want to replicate the iven results from R Commander, the collected data can be accessed in the householdsurvey worksheet. Write a brief narrative about the analysis (see R Commander Output #13) using these guide questions: a. What is the set of hypotheses to answer the objectives of the problem? b. What is the appropriate test procedure to use? c. Is there evidence that the membership in the organization is not equally likely across interventions (years)? d. Using the estimated proportions, which year recorded the greatest percentage of membership?
Question 4 Forys and Dahlquist (2007) investigated the effects of coping style and cognitive strategy on dealing with pain. Participants were first classified as having a monitoring or avoiding coping style. Participants were then randomly assigned to one of two cognitive strategy conditions, distraction or sensation monitoring. Participants were next instructed to use the cognitive strategy while submerging their hand in ice water. The researchers measured pain tolerance as the number of seconds participants were able to keep their hand in the ice water. How would you label the ANOVA used to analyze this data? 4 x 2 within-groups ANOVA O 2x 2 between-groups ANOVA 2 x 2 within-groups ANOVA 4 x 2 between-groups ANOVA
Researchers notice that access to food may be related to later success in secondary education. Researchers formulate a hypothesis that says: teenagers are more likely to graduate high school in cities with more food banks per capita compared to cities that have fewer food banks per capita. They run a pilot study with n = 4 neighborhood blocks, sampled randomly across cities in the U.S. Here, x = number of food banks in the target city and y = number of high school graduates in a 4x4 block radius. The data are presented in the table below. What is the correlation between access to food banks (x) and high school graduation (y)? a) Calculate the sum of products b) Calculate Pearson’s r
A recent study claims that using music in a class enhances concentration and consequently helps students absorb more information. A researcherdecided to test this claim on a smaller group of randomly selected students from three different classes. Each classroom was provided with a different environment for students to study. Classroom A had constant music being played in the background, classroom B had variable music being played and classroom C was a regular class with no music playing. After one month, the researcher conducted a test for all the three groups and ranked their scores. What statistical test would be most appropriate for testing the research hypothesis? Explain your answer.

As the manager of a fashion brand, you have recently run a large-scale campaign to draw attention to your company's CSR activities and thus improve the brand's image. In order to evaluate the efficiency of the campaign, you conducted a survey at major fashion stores to measure the attitudes towards. your brand at two points of time: before the campaign started and after the campaign finished. By summing up respondents' answers to 3 questions (each measuring a particular aspect of attitude on a 1-5 scale), a single overall measure of attitude is obtained for each participant. This measure can therefore range from 3 to 15, with a score of 3 representing and extremely negative attitude and a score of 15 representing an extremely positive attitude. To check whether male and female customers have different attitudes towards you company, as well as to test whether the campaign may have affected males and females differently, you ask the respondents to report their gender. You analyse the…
A study is testing the effectiveness of a new allergy medication. Sixty people who reported they have allergies volunteered to be part of the study and were randomly assigned to one of two groups, as shown in the design web. 30 Receive Medication Randomly Assigned Compare Level of Allerg Symptoms after Severa Weeks 60 Subjects 30 Receive Placebo Which of the following accurately describes the benefit of comparison in the experiment shown in the design web? The level of allergic symptoms in both groups can be compared to see if the new medication had a significant effect. The overall level of allergic symptoms can be used to determine if the new allergy medication had a significant effect. The level of allergic symptoms in the group who received the medication can be used to determine if the medication had a significant effect. The level of allergic symptoms in both groups cannot be compared to determine if the medication had a significant effect because one group only received a…
ONLY NEED ANSWERS TO STEP 4 AND 5 t test for Independent Means. Professor Wolinsky hypothesizes that type of TV show impacts people’s mood. To study this, she uses two groups: the experimental group who watches reality TV shows for three hours, while the control group watches the news for three hours. Each of the groups then completes an assessment of mood. In all, 32 people participate: 17 watch reality TV shows and 15 watch the news. The Mean, Sample Size, and SS for each group are below. Using these data, conduct a t test (p<.05) to determine if TV show type had an impact on an individual’s mood. Reality TV Shows: News: N = 17 N = 15 M = 34 M = 24 SS = 340 SS = 251 Step 1) Create a research hypothesis and a null hypothesis about the populations.

Better Traffic Flow Exercise 2.155 introduces the dataset TrafficFlow, which gives delay time in seconds for 24 simulation runs in Dresden, Germany, comparing the current timed traffic light system on each run to a proposed flexible traffic light system in which lights communicate traffic flow information to neighboring lights. On average, public transportation was delayed 105 seconds under the timed system and 44 seconds under the flexible system. Since this is a matched pairs experiment, we are interested in the difference in times between the two methods for each of the 24 simulations. For the n = 24 differences D, we saw in Exercise 2.155 that x‾D=61 seconds with sD = 15.19 seconds. We wish to estimate the average time savings for public transportation on this stretch of road if the city of Dresden moves to the new system. (a) What parameter are we estimating? Give correct notation. (b) Suppose that we write the 24 differences on 24 slips of paper. Describe how to…
Roediger and Karpicke (2006) investigated whether the test-enhanced learning effect (the demonstration that repeated testing improves memory for material) was due merely to repeated exposure to material. They randomly assigned participants to one of two conditions(study-study or study-test) and to one of three interval conditions (final test at a delay of 5 minutes, 2 days, or 1 week). The dependent variable was the proportion of idea units recalled for an encyclopedia. How should this be labeled? a. 4x2 between-groups ANOVA b. 2x2 within-groups ANOVA c. 2x3 within-groups ANOVA d. 2x3 between-groups ANOVA
