To study the effectiveness of possible treatments for insomnia, a sleep researcher conducted a study in which 16 participants were instructed to count sheep (the Sheep Condition), 16 were told to concentrate on their breathing (the Breathing Condition), and 16 were not given any special instructions (the Control Condition). The average number of minutes taken for participants to fall asleep over the next seven days were then recorded. The means and estimated population variances for the three groups were: Sheep Condition: M = 33, S2 = 25; Breathing Condition: M = 42, S? = 363; Control Condition: M = 42, S2 = 16. a.) Is there a difference in the average number of minutes taken for participants to fall asleep

2. In studying the effect of a drug for treating patients with respiratory problems, a researcher obtained a sample of 12 consenting patients, who, after discussion with their doctor, chose a respiratory drug they would receive. Patients' respiratory tests were assessed twice over a two-month period after initiating the treatment. Research question: The researcher wants to know if there is a significant difference between the group in their second test and those that didn't take the drug in their overall mean of 3.35 in average respiratory scores with a standard deviation of .08. Is there a difference between the two means - does the drug work? Carry out 9 steps of hypothesis testing. Respiratory Test 2 3.4 3.4 3.3 3.4 3.3 3.3 3.3 3.2 3.2 3.2 3.2 3.3 Σ-39.5
Whirling disease is a deadly disease that affects trout in Montana riversIn a follow-up to a 2006 study conducted by the Montana Department of FishWildlife and Parks (FWP)researchers sought to determine if the proportion of trout afflicted by whirling disease in the Gallatin river differs between rainbow trout and brown trout. To test this theory, researchers collected a representative sample of 527 rainbow trout and 459 brown trout. Of the 527 rainbow trout collected, 120 had developed whirling disease; of the 459 brown trout collected, 74 had developed whirling disease Calculate the relative risk of whirling disease for rainbow trout compared to brown trout in this sample.
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.

Do larger universities tend to have more property crime? University crime statistics are affected by a variety of factors. The surrounding community, accessibility given to outside visitors, and many other factors influence crime rate. Let x be a variable that represents student enrollment (in thousands) on a university campus, and let y be a variable that represents the number of burglaries in a year on the university campus. A random sample of n = 8 universities in California gave the following information about enrollments and annual burglary incidents.
Four scenarios of statistical studies are given below. Decide which study uses a population parameter. Answer O Lakeside Family Dentistry reported that 6 of the 15 patients who came in for a regular cleaning one day had at least one cavity. O As part of her senior project, Kaisa asked 84 of her classmates if they voted in the last presidential election. 39 said yes. O of 351 dog owners who were surveyed, 70 reported owning two dogs. The average finish time for the Ironman, Kona was 11:32 for the 1883 finishers, with an average swim time of 1:14, an average bike time time of 4:14.
A school administrator wants to see if there is a difference in the number of students per class for the Portland Public School district (Group 1) compared to the Beaverton School district (Group 2). Let be the average number of students per class for the Portland Public School district. Let ₂ be the average number of students per class for the Beaverton School district. Assume the populations are normally distributed. A random sample of 25 Portland classes found a mean of 38 students per class with a standard deviation of 3. A random sample of 28 Beaverton classes found a mean of 35 students per class with a standard deviation of 4. a. Find a 95% confidence interval for the difference of the means. Use Excel Two Means Calculator found in the Course and round answers to 2 decimal places. <1-1₂< b. Select the correct conclusion based on the above confidence interval. Since the above confidence interval gives only negative values, we have 95% confident that the average number of students…
The Interpersonal Reactivity Index is a survey designed to assess four different types of empathy. One type of empathy, called, Empathetic Concern, measures the tendency to feel sympathy and compassion for people who are less fortunate. The index ranges from 0 (less empathetic) to 28 (more empathetic). The following data, representing random samples of 16 males and 16 females, are consistent with results reported in psychological studies. Boxplots show that it is reasonable to assume that the populations are approximately normal. 13 8 22 20 20 12 15 18 Males 16 13 26 21 23 25 15 23 17 22 Females 20 26 25 28 24 16 19 23 21 23 15 26 19 25 Can you conclude at the 0.05 significance level that there is a difference in mean empathy scores between men and women?
1. Metal Tags on Penguins and Length of Foraging Trips. Data were collected over a 10-year timespan from a sample of penguins that were randomly given either metal or electronic tags. One variable examined is the length of foraging trips. Longer foraging trips can jeopardize both breeding success and survival of chicks waiting for food. From a sample of 344 foraging trips for metal-tagged penguins, the mean length was 12.70 days. From a sample of 512 foraging trips for electronic-tagged penguins, mean length was 11.60 days. Test whether foraging trips are longer on average among metal-tagged penguins than among electronic-tagged penguins. a. State hypotheses in terms of two means. b. Calculate the sample statistic XM - XE c. An estimate of the standard error for this difference of means is SE-0.2834. Calculate a test statistic to two decimal places. d.
