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

The assessment of diet is an important exposure for many disease outcomes. However, there is often much imprecision in dietary recall. In one study, 70- to 79-yearold women were asked about the preschool diet of their children (ages 2−4) using a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). A unique aspect of the study is that simultaneous diet record data exist on the same children recorded in real time by their mothers when they were ages 2−4 and their mothers were 20 to 40 years old. The data in Table 11.36 were available on average servings of margarine per week. The Pearson correlation between intake from the two recording methods was 0.448. Assume that FFQ and DR margarine intake are normally distributed. 11.121 Provide a 95% confidence interval for the true Spearman rank correlation (ρs ).
The medical researcher is comparing two treatments for lowering cholesterol: diet and meds. The researcher wants to see if the patients who receive the recommendation to change their diet have equal success lowering cholesterol compared to a prescription of meds. Arandom sample of some patients who received the recommendation to change their diet and others who were prescribed meds was taken. The results of how many did or did not lower their cholesterol are shown below: Data on Diet vs. Meds for Weight Loss Diet Meds Yes| 471 578 No | 203 |184 What can be concluded at the a = 0.01 level of significance?

An apartment management company wants to explore the consequences of allowing residents to have multiple dogs. They would like to find out whether the number of dogs predicts resident ratings. They would also like to control for the year the apartment complex was built because that might also affect the resident rating. They have collected data on several of their existing complexes. For each complex, they have counted the number of dogs currently living in the complex, the year the complex was built, and the average rating for that particular complex. They would like to perform a multiple regression on these variables to predict resident ratings. See data below. These data are the same as the previous question. Positive and Negative Dog Ratings Number of dogs Year of facility Rating (out of 5) 54 1975 2 31 1964 3.5 0 2015 4.8 11 2011 3.8 73 1964 2.3 23 2016 3.7 0 2015 4.7 49 1989 2.7 What can we conclude about this multiple regression analysis?

StarHortons Cup, the coffee company, wants to determine how long caffeine lasts throughout the day when individuals have a cup of one of their 3 types of coffee at 9am. They will then measure the levels of caffeine in these individuals’ systems at 10am, 12am, 2pm, 4pm, 6pm and 8pm. They want to have at least 20 observations per group. How many separate/distinct groups of participants are needed if they want to conduct this experiment using a mixed-measures ANOVA? 18 6 20 3

In a study of how depression may affect one's ability to survive a heart attack, the researchers reported the ages of the two groups they examined. The mean age of 2397 patients without cardiac disease was 69.8 years, while for the 450 patients with cardiac disease, the mean age was 74.0, respectively. Furthermore, 32% of the diseased group were smokers, compared with only 23.7% of those free of heart disease. (1) Determine a 96% confidence interval for the difference in the proportions of smokers in the two groups. (ii) Indicate whether the two groups in the study were different. State the assumptions in order to proceed with the confident interval construction. (ii)

Suppose you were presented with the results of a study comparing two different training methods for basketball athletes. You are told 32 athletes were randomly assigned to the two groups so that 16 were in the group A and 16 were in the group B. At the end of the session, the average scores (wins versus losses) of the two groups/teams were compared and a difference of 10% was observed ( the first team had 10% more wins than the second). The coach observer reports two- sample t-test shows this difference is statistically significant. How would you interpret these findings? What questions or concerns would you have? How might this type of study be improved? Hint: Consider the possibility that the test performed was not the appropriate one.
Investigation 3.2: Valence Differences Between R&B and Rap Genres (Paired)A music fan claims that R&B songs tend to have a more positive tone on average than do Rapsongs. The individual collected two independent random samples from the population of SpotifySongs. Fifteen R&B songs and another fifteen Rap songs were collected and their Valence wasrecorded. The music fan believed that pairing the song by their Danceability may provideadditional information. Danceability describes how suitable a track is for dancing based on acombination of musical elements including tempo, rhythm stability, beat strength, and overallregularity. A value of 0.0 is least danceable and 1 is most danceable. Thus, the individual pairedthe R&B song with the lowest danceability with the Rap song with the lowest danceability,followed by the second and second, third and third. She continued this process until the R&Bsong with the highest danceability was paired with the Rap song with the…

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…
