) 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.

Question

A basketball coach is interested in determining if shooting free throws underhand is better than shooting them using the overhead method. He has four high school teams (two boys' teams and
two girls' teams, with 13 players on each team) available to take part in an experiment. He believes that the difference in shooting percentages will vary more for boys than for girls. He randomly
chooses and instructs half of the boys to continue shooting free throws overhead and the rest of the boys to shoot underhand. He does the same for the girls. At the end of a six-game summer
league, he compares the shooting percentages for the overhead shooting boys to the underhand shooting boys and the overhead shooting girls to the underhand shooting girls.
(a) 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 response
(percentage of made shots) separately for each block (gender).
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.
Blocking by gender will increase the variation in the response variable by introducing a new variable into the experimental design: gender.
(b) Which method is an example of how randomization could be implemented within this study?
O The researcher should flip a coin to decide which boys' team will shoot underhand. The same should be done to decide which girls' team shoots underhand. The other team will shoot
overhead.
O Each of the boys should be allowed to choose which style they want to use for the games. The same should be done with the girls.
O The best free-throw shooters should
assigned to the underhand method and the worst shooters should be assigned to the overhead style.
The researcher should give all of the boys a coin to flip. Those boys that flip heads are instructed to shoot underhand and those who flipped tails are assigned to the overhead style.
The same procedure is used with the girls.
(c) Determine whether the following statement
true or false.
This experimental design can be implemented as a double-blind experiment.
True
False

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?
A researcher studying allergies to animals is interested in performing a study at the local elementary school. At Pineview Elementary, there are 4 1st grade classrooms. The researcher picks 2 of the 4 classrooms and asks every 1st grader in the 2 classrooms what type of animal they own (cat, dog, rabbit, etc.). He also asks how often they experience allergies. What type of study is this?
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…
Taylor decided that she needed to make a bit of extra money so she decided to participate in a clinical trial for a drug company called Good Pharma. They are trying to see if a new diet pill is more effective than a placebo pill in helping people loose weight. She is randomly assigned to one of the groups and the researchers put all of the participants on the same workout and meal plan. 50 people were placed in the placebo group and 36 in the diet pill group. After two months the researchers brought everyone in and they recorded the number of lbs lost and tested at the alpha level of 0.03.

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).
