There appears to be some evidence suggesting that earlier retirement may lead to memory decline (Rohwedder & Willis, 2010). The researchers gave a memory test to men and women aged 60 to 64 years in several countries that have different retirement ages. For each country, the researchers recorded the average memory score and the percentage of individuals in the 60-64 range who were retired. Note that a higher percentage retired indicates a younger retirement age for that country. The following data are similar to the results from the study. Use the data to find the regression equation for predicting memory scores from the percentage of people aged 60 to 64 who are retired. Country % Retired Memory Score (X) (Y) Sweden 39 9.3 U.S.A. 48 10.9 England 59 10.7 Germany 70 9.1 Spain 74 6.4 Netherlands 78 9.1 Italy 81 7.2 France 87 7.9 Belgium 88 8.5 Austria 91 9.0

I need guidance on the last question listed at the end of this .... An experiment was conducted to determine if motivational techniques in management significantly affected employee stress levels compared to no intervention. An employee survey was given to three groups: one group under a manager who started using a transformational motivation technique, one group under a manager who began using a transactional motivation technique, and then a control group with no new technique used. Stress levels were self-reported by the employees on 10-point Likert scales (0 – no stress, 1- little stress, 9 – very high stress). The results are shown below. Use alpha = 0.05. Transformational Transactional Control 0 2 6 7 5 5 3 3 8 5 0 9 2 1 5 Null hypothesis: There is no significant difference in stress levels between the three groups. Alternative hypothesis: There is significance difference in stress levels between the three groups. The…
In a survey of families in which both parents work, one of the questions asked was, “Have you refused a job, promotion, or transfer because it would mean less time with your family?” A total of 200 men and 200 women were asked this question. “Yes” was the response given by 29% of the men and 24% of the women. Based on this survey, can we conclude that there is a difference in the proportion of men and women responding “yes” at the 0.05 level of significance?
Tim is interested in studying whether Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is an effective treatment for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Six people who were diagnosed with OCD participated in Tim's study, where he recorded the number of times they washed their hands per day for one month. They were then given a three week intensive CBT program before their hand-washing was monitored for another month. The average number of times per day each participant washed their hands over the two months of observation are as follows: Participant Month 1 Month 2 1 11 6 2 8 5 3 14 17 4 10 10 5 22 11 6 15 10 Compute the appropriate statistic to determine whether the program was effective and use this information to fill in the blanks: Q1. revealed that the number of times per day participants washed their hands following the CBT program was Q2. compared to the number of times per day participants washed their hands before the…
The following table is from a publication. The individuals in the following table have an eye irritation, a nose irritation, or a throat irritation. They have only one of the three. Is there sufficient evidence to reject the hypothesis that the type of ear, nose, or throat irritation is independent of the age group at a level of significance equal to 0.05?

The following is based on information from The Wolf in the Southwest: The Making of an Endangered Species, by David E. Brown (University of Arizona Press). Before 1918, the proportion of female wolves in the general population of all southwestern wolves was about 50%. However, after 1918, southwestern cattle ranchers began a widespread effort to destroy wolves. In a recent sample of 37 wolves, there were only 11 females. One theory is that male wolves tend to return sooner than females to their old territories, where their predecessors were exterminated. Do these data indicate that the population proportion of female wolves is now less than 50% in the region? Use α = 0.01. (a) What is the level of significance? State the null and alternate hypotheses. O Ho: P 0.5 O Ho: P = 0.5; H₁: p 5 and nq > 5. O The Student's t, since np > 5 and ng > 5. The standard normal, since np < 5 and nq < 5. O The Student's t, since np < 5 and nq < 5. What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Round…
A warehouse manager wants to know if there is an association between the shift worked and being on time for work. To investigate, he selects a random sample of 70 workers and classifies each one according to the shift they worked most recently and whether they were on time for work. He was unable to classify a substantial number of people as being on time, so he classified those individuals as unknown. The data are displayed in the table. The manager would like to know if these data provide convincing evidence of an association between the shift worked and being on time in the large population of all workers at this warehouse. The random and 10% conditions are met. Is the Large Counts condition met? Yes, the smallest expected count is 5, so all expected counts are at least 5. Yes, the smallest expected count is 8.54, so all expected counts are at least 5. No, the smallest expected count is 2.56, so the expected counts are not all at least 5. No, the smallest expected count is…

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
A group of people use an app to track their work outs in the gym everyday. The workouts can be categorized as Strenuous, Moderate, or Light. When the data from the app was reviewed, the following observation was made: Of the people who work out strenuously on a particular day, 40% will work out strenuously the next day and 60% will work out moderately. Of the people who work out moderately on a particular day, 50% will work out strenuously the next day and 50% will work out lightly. Of the people working out lightly on a particular day, 30% will work out strenuously on the next day, 20% will work out moderately, and 50% lightly. (a) Set up the 3 x 3 transition matrix with rows and columns labelled S , M, and L. (b) Suppose that on a particular Monday, 80% work out strenuously, 10% moderately, and 10% lightly. What will the distribution be on Wednesday? (You can use a calculator for the matrix multiplication.) (c) Find the stable distribution algebraically.
