ticle describes a study in which a new type of ointment was applied to forearms of volunteers to study the rates of absorption into the skin.Eight locations on the forearm were designated for ointment application. The new ointment was applied to six locations,and a control was applied to the other two.How many different choices were there for the six locations to apply the new ointment?

An electronics company wants to compare the quality of their cell phones to the cell phones from three competitors. They sample 10 phones from each company and count the number of defects for each phone. If ANOVA was used to compare the average number of defects, then the treatments would be defined as Select one: a the four companies b.None is correct c.the average number of defects d.the total number of phones O e.the number of cell phones sampled
It is often useful for retailers to determine why their potential customers chose to visit their store. Possible reasons include advertising, advice from a friend, or previous experience. To determine the effect of full-page advertisements in the local newspaper, the owner of an electronic-equipment store asked randomly selected people who visited the store whether they had seen the ad. He also determined whether the customers had bought anything, and if so, how much they spent. Among the respondents who saw the ad, 49 made an average purchase of $97.38 with a variance of $622. Among the respondents who did not see the ad, 21 made an average purchase of $92.01 with a variance of $283.3. Can the owner conclude that customers who see the ad spend more than those who do not see the ad (among those who make a purchase) at 5% significance level?

A company wishes to evaluate the effect of package design on one of its products, a certain brand of cereal. The four package designs are to be tested in different stores throughout a large city. There are 20 stores available for the study. The amount of cereal sold is known to vary depending on the size of the stores. The 20 stores are divided into five groups of four stores each by size. The following sales figures ($1000s) were obtained after a 1-month period. Stores Design A Design B Design C Design D 1 40 33 37 38 2 45 27 32 40 3 43 31 30 41 4 44 38 40 42 5 56 45 49 42 Enter the above data into a suitable software and then conduct an analysis of variance without blocking to test whether there is evidence of a significant difference in mean sales of different package designs. Use alpha=0.01. What is the conclusion for the null hypothesis that all treatment means are equal? O Do not reject HO. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the average sales for all stores are not…

Ride services are on the rise, such as Uber and Lyft. You wondered if the recent news reports of crime occurring with these ride services impacted the usage of them, especially with women. You decide to conduct a survey about ride service usage among male and female college students. The results showed that 19 males use ride services and 11 do not. While 12 females use ride services and 18 do not. Calculate the degrees of freedom:
Using the same anti-venom study, answer the following questions. A study was done on children (6 months to 18 years of age) who had (nonlethal) scorpion stings. Researchers wanted to know the effectiveness of a new anti-venonm. Each child was randomly assigned to receive a shot of the anti-venom or a placebo shot. Researchers recorded whether or not their condition improved over the next four hours. a. Identify the population for the study. b. Identify the sample for the study. (HINT: See #1) c. Was this an observational study or a controlled experiment? Explain how you know. d. Assuming the rest of the study was well-designed, use your answers to discuss whether it would be reasonable to conclude that the new anti-venom is effective at treating nonlethal scorpion stings in children.

A middle school wanted to examine if students' sense of school belongingness increased after participating in a two-week after-school program. Thirty students were selected to participate in the after-school program. Prior to completing the program, students completed a measure of school belonging. At the end of the two-week program, students completed another measure of school belongingness. Students' scores before and after the program were then compared. What is the DV? O 30 participants O (before and after) the after school program O Sense of school belonging O the middle school

The average total dollar purchase at a convenience store is less than that at a supermarket. Despite smaller-ticket purchases, convenience stores can still be profitable because of the size of operation, volume of business, and the markup. A researcher is interested in estimating the average purchase amount for convenience stores in suburban Long Island. To do so, she randomly sampled 24 purchases from several convenience stores in suburban Long Island and tabulated the amounts to the nearest dollar (shown below). $9 $7 $1 $2 $14 $11 $7 $8 $6 $7 $3 $3 $2 $5 $4 $4 $1 $2 $3 $10 $8 $8 $6 $4 Assume that the population standard deviation is 3.23 and the population is normally distributed. Using the above data, a 90% confidence interval for the population average amount of purchases is 4.54 to 6.71 4.495 to 6.76 4.44 to 6.81 4.49 to 6.76 4.26 to 6.99

In the Star and Tribune newspaper, there is an article entitled “1 in 8 school buses fail tests." The article says that the overall statewide proportion of school buses that fail safety tests is 9%. However, one bus company has a higher rate of over 12%. Assume that we want a new estimate for the statewide proportion of school buses that fail the safety inspection. We take a sample of 200 buses and find that 20 buses fail the safety inspection. If we construct a 95% confidence interval estimate for the true proportion of all Minnesota school buses that fail the safety tests, what is the upper limit of the interval? (Enter you answer including 3 decimal positions, e.g. .234)
A consumer group wanted to determine if there was a difference in customer perceptions about prices for a specific type of toy depending on where the toy was purchased. In the local area there are three main retailers: W-Mart, Tag, and URToy. For each retailer, the consumer group randomly selected 5 customers, and asked them to rate how expensive they thought the toy was on a 1-to-10 scale (1= not expensive, to 10 = very expensive). The toy was priced the same at all retail stores. Compute the percentage of variance explained by the group differences for these data. Q: Percentage and variance explained = ?
