Question 8 Consider this scenario: A cereal-packing company where the content of cereal boxes must have a mean of 368 grams to satisfy the labeling on the box. Because it is expensive to weigh every box produced at the factory, a sample of boxes is used to estimate the actual mean. After analyzing the data sample, the operations manager must decide whether or not the manufacturing process is working as expected. Suppose a sample of 49 boxes is taken from thousands produced during an 8-hour shift and the standard deviation (σ) of the cereal-filling process is 15, what is the standard error of the mean? Use the equation, σX̅ = σ /(square-root of n), where n is the sample size. Enter your result as a value with one digit after the decimal point (e.g. 1.7).

When the nature of population from which samples is drawn is not known to be normally distributed the data can be analysed with the help of a. Parametric statistics b. Descriptive statistics c. Non-parametric statistics d. None of the above
Question 2 At the end of 2020, the mean age of the U.S. population was estimated to be 38.5 years old. You are tasked with determining whether the mean age of the population of IAT participants (for your chosen IAT data set) differs from the mean age of the U.S. population. 1. Let be the mean age of the population of IAT participants for your chosen IAT data set. State the hypotheses (symbolically and in words). Include a clear description of the populations and the variable. 2. 3. 4. Use StatCrunch to create a histogram for the age distribution in your unique IAT sample. Download the StatCrunch output window and embed your histogram with your response. Can we safely use the t-test with your IAT sample? Explain. Perform the t-test using StatCrunch. Copy the information from the StatCrunch output window and paste it into your response. Based on the P-value, state your conclusions in context. Use a 5% level of significance. (NOTE: Since StatCrunch correctly calculates the P-value for…

QUESTION 35 Suppose a hypertension trial is mounted and 18 participants are randomly assigned to one of the comparison treatments. Each participant takes the assigned medication and his or her systolic blood pressure is recorded after 6 months on the assigned treatment. The data are as follows. Standard Treatment Placebo New Treatment 124 134 114 111 143 117 133 148 121 125 142 124 128 150 122 115 160 128 Is there a difference in mean systolic blood pressure among treatments? Run the appropriate test at α = 0.05.
QUESTION 20 A treatment for anxiety is found to demonstrate a consistent reduction of anxiety sympotms by 2 points on a 50- point anxiety symptoms scale. Although patients overall do not report feeling much difference, the experiemnter finds that the change in symptoms on the anxiety symptoms scale results in a p-value of less than .05. This is an example of A statitically significant effect that does not have clinical/practical significance A clinically significant change which is supported by a statistically significant effect A correlational research design A placebo effect
Question 8 Dr. Jameson wanted to know if IQ scores differed between male and female participants in his study. He gave 28 participants an IQ test and then compared IQ scores for gender differences. He hypothesized that there would be a statistically significant gender difference in IQ scores. Contrary to Dr. Jameson's hypothesis, there were no differences in IQ scores between men and women in his study. Based on the information provided, does this study meet the assumption of normality? Why or why not? We do not know whether it is normally distributed because we do not have information on the population. Yes; it is normally distributed because the sample size is large. No; it is not normally distributed because the small sample size is small. We do not know whether it is normally distributed and the sample size is not at least 30 participants.
1. The data in Table 7–6 were collected in a clinical trial to evaluate a new compound designed to improve wound healing in trauma patients. The new compound was com- pared against a placebo. After treatment for 5 days with the new compound or placebo, the extent of wound healing was measured. Is there a difference in the extent of wound healing between the treatments? (Hint: Are treatment and the percent wound healing independent?) Run the appropriate test at a 5% level of significance. Use the data in Problem 1. Pool the data across the treatments into one sample of size n = 250. Use the pooled data to test whether the distribution of the percent wound healing is approximately normal. Specifically, use the following distribution 30%, 40%, 20%, and 10% and a = 0.05 to run the appropriate test. Percent Wound Healing Treatment 0-25% 26-50% 51-75% 76-100% New compound (n=125) 15 37 32 41 Placebo (n=125) 36 45 34 10

Iron-deficiency anemia is an important nutritional healthproblem in the United States. A dietary assessment wasperformed on 51 boys 9 to 11 years of age whose familieswere below the poverty level. The mean daily iron intakeamong these boys was found to be 12.50 mg with standarddeviation 4.75 mg. Suppose the mean daily iron intakeamong a large population of 9- to 11-year-old boys fromall income strata is 14.44 mg. We want to test whether themean iron intake among the low-income group is differentfrom that of the general population. Problem a) State the hypotheses that we can use to considerthis question.Problem b) Carry out the hypothesis test in Problem a using the critical-value method with an α level of 0.05, and summarize your findings. Problem c) What is the p-value for the test conducted in Problem b?
