The National Electronic Injury Surveillance System tracks injuries reported from hospital admissions across the United States (Consumer Product Safety Commission 2018). For the data in 2017, we extracted all incidences of hand injuries that referenced punching a wall. There were 1843 such cases. The surveillance system also records some of the properties of the patients, including gender. Of all cases where a person was admitted to a hospital for injuries from punching a wall, 1352 were recorded as male and 491 were recorded as female. a. Do an appropriate hypothesis test to ask whether the proportion of males among wall-punchers is 50%.

The data are the number of machines in a gym. You sample five gyms. One gym has 12 machines, one gym has 15 machines, one gym has 10 machines, one gym has 22 machines, and the other gym has 20 machines. What type of data is this?
People often say “Distance makes the heart fonder.” Interestingly, due to pandemic related lockdowns, some persons have been implicitly or explicitly indicating that it is indeed true as they have been struggling with their relationships due to lack of time apart from their partner. A researcher who is interested in such an issue decided to collect data on the level of rage/edginess that exist among a few couples due to lockdowns. Participants were asked to rank the level of hostility they think they have been exerting towards their partner due to having to spend more time than they usually do with them. The resulting data is presented on page two (2). 2 *14 is the highest level of hostility. Level of hostility Number of partners 0-1 4 2-3 11 4-5 8 6-7 20 8-9 25 10-11 12 12-13 12 13-14 4 a.

A recent study on driving behavior examined whether the combination of high driving skills and low safety skills is dangerous. Participants were classified as high or low in driving skill based on responses to a driver-skill inventory, then classified as high or low in safety skill based on responses to a driver-aggression scale. An overall measure of driving risk was obtained by combining several variables such as number of accidents, tickets, tendency to speed, etc. The following data were obtained. Use a 2 x 2 ANOVA with the .05 significance level to evaluate the results. What cutoff score(s) should be used? Driving Skill Low High Safety Skill Low M1=5 M2=4.5 S1=2.7 S2=3.8 N1=6 N2=6 HIgh M3=3 M4=3.5 S3=2.9 S4=2.5 N3=6 N4=6 Group of answer choices +4.35 +3.40 +3.49 +4.26

Suppose you are conducting a study about how the average U.S. worker spends time over the course of a workday. You are interested in how much time workers spend per day on personal calls, e-mails, and social networking websites, as well as how much time they spend socializing with coworkers versus actually working. The most recent census provides data for the entire population of U.S. workers on variables such as travel time to work, time spent at work, and break time at work. The census, however, does not include data on the variables you are interested in, so you obtain a random sample of 82 full-time workers in the United States and ask about personal calls, e-mails, and so forth. You are curious about how your sample compares with the census, so you also ask the workers the same questions about work that are asked in the census. Suppose the mean break time per day from the most recent census is 29.6 minutes, with a standard deviation of 16.0 minutes. Your sample of 82 U.S. workers…

You are a manager for Company ABC and decide to compile data and analyze your employees’ level of satisifaction. You create a survey to ask each employee to rate their level of satisfaction working at Company ABC. Table 1 shows data of 15 people employees that responded to your survey. Each of the employees have the same job title: Sales Representative. The data set includes variables regarding an employee ID, gender, ethnicity, region, pay rate, employee satisfaction rating. Each employee was asked to rate their level of satisfaction working at Company ABC. A composite score from 0 (lowest) to 5 (highest) is shown as the data variable employee satisfaction.
