Two methods for teaching reading were applied to two randomly selected groups of elementary schoolchildren and then compared on the basis of a reading comprehensive test given at the end of the learning period. The results are given in the following table. Method I Method II Sample size Mean 11 14 64 69 variance 52 71 Do the data present sufficient evidence to indicate a difference in the mean scores for the populations associated with the two teaching methods? What can be said about the attained significance level? What assumptions are required? Check your assumption by an appropriate method. What would you conclude at the 5% level of significance?

M&Ms Data Set 27 “M&M Weights” in Appendix B lists data from 100 M&Ms, and 27% of them are blue. The Mars candy company claims that the percentage of blue M&Ms is equal to 24%. Use a 0.05 significance level to test that claim. Should the Mars company take corrective action?
A power analysis is a calculation used to estimate the smallest sample size needed for an experiment, given a required significance level, statistical power, and effect size. It helps to determine if a result from an experiment or survey is due to chance, or if it is genuine and significant. Think of an experiment or a survey that you have conducted or will conduct in your field of interest and use it to discuss the following questions: 1. Describe the importance of power analysis in an experiment. 2. How will you determine the appropriate significance level for a power analysis? 3. Explain, in your own words, how you will conduct a power analysis in your experiment or survey.

If sample data is such that for a one-tailed test of ? you can reject H0 at the 1% level of significance, can you always reject H0 for a two-tailed test at the same level of significance? Explain your answer? A. Yes. If H0 for a one-tailed test is rejected at the 1% level of significance, it will always be rejected for a two-tailed test at the same level of significance. B. No. If H0 for a one-tailed test is rejected at the 1% level of significance, it will never be rejected for a two-tailed test at the same level of significance. C. Yes. The P-value for the two-tailed test could be greater than 0.01. D. No. The P-value for the two-tailed test could be greater than 0.01.
Acne is a common skin disease that affects most adolescents and can continue into adulthood. A study compared the effectiveness of three acne treatments and a placebo, all in gel form, applied twice daily for 12 weeks. The study's 517 teenage volunteers were randomly assigned to one of the four treatments. Success was assessed as clear or almost clear skin at the end of the 12 week period. The results of the study can be seen in the table below. Using the appropriate statistical test, determine if there is significant evidence that the four treatments perform differently. If so, how do they compare.
