) What is the advantage of using a block design for this study? O Blocking by gender will reduce the variation in the response variable by creating homogeneous groups and determining the effect of the new shooting style on the respons (percentage of made shots) separately for each block (gender). O Blocking will provide more precise results by using one group as a control group (overhead shooting), another group as the treatment group (underhand shooting). O Blocking allows for more subjects to take part in the experiment. O Blocking by gender will increase the variation in the response variable by introducing a new variable into the experimental design: gender.

The student government took a poll on a policy they would like to suggest to the dean. The proportion of the first-year students in favor was 40% with a response of 30 students. The second-year students were 55% in favor with a response of 20 students. Is the difference in proportions for the two groups of students statistically significant?
In a statistics activity, students are asked to spin a penny and a dime and determine the proportion of times that each lands with tails up. The students believe that since a dime is lighter, it will have a lower proportion of times landing tails up compared with the penny. The students are instructed to spin the penny and the dime 30 times and record the number of times each lands tails up. For one student, the penny lands tails side up 18 times, and the dime lands tails side up 20 times. Let pp = the true proportion of times a dime will land tails up and pp = the true proportion of times a penny will land tails up. The P-value for this significance test is 0.296. Which of the following is the correct conclusion for this test of the hypotheses H Pp-Pp=0 and H, Po-Pp 0.05. There is sufficient evidence that the true proportion of times a dime will land tails up is significantly less than the penny. O The student should reject the null hypothesis since 0.296 > 0.05. There is insufficient…
Phineas Phillips, from Philadelphia, has a fascination with fun phone facts. But Phineas has furrowed his brow because his cousin Felix (from Florida) claims to have a phone fact that Phineas is not familiar with. His cousin claims that the percentage of iPhone users in Canada is different than it is in the United States. Phineas knows (for a fact) that the percentage of smart phone users in the US that prefer iPhones is 45%. A random sample of 400 Canadian smart phone users indicates that 160 of them prefer iPhones. Can Phineas conclude, at a 10% level of significance that the percent of iPhone users in the US is different than it is in Canada? What is the null hypothesis? What is the alternate hypothesis? Is this a left tail, right tail, or two tailed test? What is the value of the test statistic? What is your conclusion for the hypothesis test?
The number of destination weddings has skyrocketed in recent years. For example, many couples are opting to have their weddings in the Carribean. A recent advertisement recently stated that the cost of a Carribean wedding was less that $30,000. Here is a sample of 8 weddings ($28,500) ($29,500) ($29,900) ($30,200) ($29,200) ($30,400) ($29,000) ($28,900). At the 0.05 significance level, is it reasonable to conclude the mean wedding cost is less than $30,000 as advertised? State the null and alternative hypothesis. Use a 0.05 level of significance (round to 3 decimal places). State the decision rule for 0.05 significance level (round to 3 decimal places). Compute the value of the test statistic (round to 3 decimal places).
You wanted to see if there are differences in the sleeping patterns between males and females when they take an over the counter sleeping aid. You did a survey of 300 males and 300 and females after they took the aid. Would this be an experiment or an observational study?Explain
Captain Ben flies small passenger jets. These jets carry 50 passengers, plus their luggage. On a full flight, these jets will perform properly as long as the total weight of passengers’ checked baggage does not exceed 5000 pounds on average. Ben is concerned that passengers on a particular flight have brought unusually heavy bags. He selects a random sample of 10 passengers and weighs their checked baggage. Based on the results from this sample, he must decide whether it is safe to take off. Explain the consequences of each type of error. Which is the most serious? If you had to choose one of the "standard" significance levels for your significance test, would you choose α = 0.01, 0.05, or 0.10? Justify your choice.
A phamaceutical company wants to test the effectiveness of a new allergy drug. The company identifies 250 females 30-35 years old who suffer from severe allergies. The subjects are randomly assigned into two groups. One group is given the new allergy drug and the other is given a placebo that looks exactly like the new allergy drug. After six months, the subjects' symptoms are studied and compared. Answer parts (a) through (c) below. O B. The experimental units are the symptoms from the drug. The treatment is the new allergy drug. O C. The experimental unit is the new allergy drug. The treatments are the severe allergies the patients suffer from. O D. The experimental units are the 30- to 35-year-old females being given the treatment. The treatment is the new allergy drug. (b) Identify a potential problem with the experiment design being used and suggest a way to improve it. Choose the correct answer below. O A. There may be a bias on the part of the patients since they do not know if…
The authors of a research article studied how video game content might influence attitudes and behavior. Male students at a large midwestern university were assigned at random to play one of three action-oriented video games. Two of the games involved some violence—one was a shooting game and one was a fighting game. The third game was a nonviolent race car driving game. After playing a game for 20 minutes, participants answered a set of questions. The responses were used to determine values of three measures of aggression: (1) a measure of aggressive behavior; (2) a measure of aggressive thoughts; and (3) a measure of aggressive feelings. The authors hypothesized that the means for the three measures of aggression would be greatest for the fighting game and lowest for the driving game. (a) For the measure of aggressive behavior, the paper reports that the mean score for the fighting game was significantly higher than the mean scores for the shooting and driving game, but reports…
