A state fisheries commission wants to estimate the number of bass caught in a given lake during a season in order to restock the lake with the appropriate number of young fish. The commission could get a fairly accurate assessment of the seasonal catch by extensive “netting sweeps" of the lake before and after a season, but this technique is much too expensive to be done routinely. Therefore, the commission samples a number of lakes and record the seasonal catch (thousands of bass per square mile of lake area) and size of lake (square miles). A simple linear regression was performed and the following R output obtained. Estimate Std.

Mason is conducting a study on the effect of computer-based training on the math ability of seventh-graders. He randomly assigns one group of students to use a computer-based training method and another group of students to use workbooks. What type of analysis should be performed to determine if there is a difference between the two conditions? Group of answer choices A) paired samples t test B) Pearson's correlation C) independent samples t test D) z test

A study was conducted to determine whether big-city and small-town dwellers differed in their helpfulness to strangers. In this study, the investigators rang the doorbells of strangers living in a large City or small towns in the vicinity. They explained they had misplaced the address of a friend living in the neighbourhood and asked to use the phone. The following data show the number of individuals who admitted or did not admit the strangers (the investigators) into their homes: Helpfulness to strangers Admitted strangers into their home Didnot admit strangers into their home Big city dwellers 60 90 Small town dwellers 70 30 State the dependent and independent variable Is this a directional or non directional
To determine how climate change and habitat loss will influence Antarctic species, baseline estimates of population sizes and distributions are needed. To this end, a group of researchers estimated the population sizes of all breeding colonies of emperor penguins (Aptenodytes fosteri) along Antarctic coastlines using satellite imagery (Fretwell et al., 2012). For each breeding colony encountered, the researchers determined the latitude, longitude, and area (m2) of the colony, and estimated the total number of emperor penguins present. Then, they compared their colony size estimates to previously published estimates. Suppose the researchers want to determine if there is a linear relationship between the previous population estimates and the current population estimates, so they decide to conduct a two-tailed T test for no linear relationship. From 29 data points, they calculate the linear regression equation to be Y^ =925.25556+0.71001x where ?Y^ is the predicted current population…

Audunn explores whether the commute patterns of students differ between schools. He asked 20 students in MR, MH and Versló, in total 60 students if they came in private cars (either as drivers or passengers) or if they travel by other means. The results are shown below. MH MR Versló Other 11 16 6 Private car 9 4 14 Tafla 1: Table one with measured frequency. MH MR Versló Other 11.00 11.00 11.00 Private car 9.00 9.00 9.00 Table two with expected frequency. Which of the following conditions apply to the test as Audunn intends to perform? 1. All values in Table 1 are larger than 5 so the conditions for the test are valid. 2. Table 1 contains the value 4, which is less than 5, so the test conditions are not valid. 3. All values in Table 2 are larger than 5, so the test conditions are not valid. 4. D All values in Table 2 are larger than 5 so the conditions for the test are valid. The next two questions relate also to Auduns investigation. Audun will explore the differences in commute…
