What is the main limitation of this study? In 2009, investigators were interested in evaluating the relationship between physical activity and being overweight. Using BRFSS data, they found 100 participants in South Carolina. 69 of these participants were overweight, and the remaining 31 were not. The investigators found that 46 participants who were overweight reported low levels of physical activity. The investigators also determined that 22 participants who were not overweight reported high levels of physical activity. This type of study is expensive to carry out, and non-compliance of study participants must be dealt with in the analysis. The exposure and outcome were measured on study participants at the same time; therefore, temporality cannot be established.

In 1990, 58% of Americans 18 years old and older reported they have a great deal of concern regarding air pollution. A recent poll found that 592 of 1004 Americans 18 years old or older stated that they have a great deal of concern regarding the level of air pollution in American. Is there evidence to conclude that the current proportion of Americans having a great deal of concern about the level of air pollution in America is different from the 1990 proportion, with a 10% level of significance? State the null hypothesis, alternative hypothesis, test statistic, p-value and conclusion.
Absenteeism can be a serious employment problem. It is estimated that absenteeism reduces potential output by more than 10%. Two economists launched a research project to learn more about the problem. They randomly selected 100 organizations to participate in a 1-year study. For each organization, they recorded the average number of days absent per employee and several variables thought to affect absenteeism. Perform a two-sample t-test analysis to determine if the availability of shiftwork significantly influences absenteeism. I have provided the F-test for two variances below: Copy and paste the Two sample t-test output below (Please let me know how I can get the two sample t-test output in Excel, I do not need the copied version) AND provide a clear conclusion supported by key statistics in the output about how absenteeism is affected by the availability of shiftwork.

Researchers investigate how the presence of cell phones influence the quality of human interaction. Subjects are randomly selected from a population and divided into an experimental group that is asked to leave their phones in the front of the room and a control group that are not asked to leave their cell phones at the front of the room. Subjects are left alone for 10 minutes and then asked to take a survey designed to measure quality of interactions they had with others in the experiment. What statistical test is appropriate?
At BYU-Idaho there has been a lot of interest in the performance of students in online classes. Generally, administrators are interested to know if there is a difference in the learning of students who take an online course compared to those who take a traditional course. A study was done to see if the grade received in the course is related to the type of course. Researchers collected the grades of randomly selected students who were taking a traditional Business Statistics class and compared those with the grades earned by randomly selected students who were taking an online Business Statistics class. The data are shown in the table below. Grade A B с D F You want to determine if a student's grade and the type of course he or she is enrolled in are independent. Use a level of significance of a = 0.01. State the null and alternative hypothesis for this test. O Ho: Traditional and online courses are not independent. H₂: Traditional and online courses are independent. O Ho: Traditional…
A significant interaction was found between depression, social support and GPA. These results should be considered with caution and further research should be done to better understand the relationships between these variables. Furthermore, those working with college students should consider the overall well-being of the student, as it is possible that their academic performance may not be affected by anxiety and/or depression. IS THIS A TYPE 1 ERROR OR A TYPE 2 ERROR IN RESEARCH?

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.
I want to assess the effects of diet (control diet, high-sugar diet, high-fat diet) and exercise (no voluntary running wheel, voluntary running wheel) on time spent in a target quadrant (more time indicates better memory). I record the percent time spent in a target quadrant for 30 mice and obtain the following data: Control Diet High-sugar Diet High-fat diet No running wheel 15, 28, 29, 30, 25 24, 20, 30, 32, 20 19, 23, 22, 23, 25 Running wheel 30, 34, 35, 44, 32 21, 22, 28, 26, 29 30, 32, 28, 19, 26 What type of factorial design is this?

You're trying to find out how many students who graduate with accounting degrees from large universities are employed at graduation. You design an experiment where you collect information on several variables from recent graduates from the University of Florida accounting program. Specifically, you survey 198 alumni about their employment status, age at graduation, gender, and grade point average. What's the population, and what's the sample? The population is everyone at the University of Florida, and the sample is the 198 alumni who returned the survey. The population is the 198 alumni who returned the survey, and the sample is accounting alumni from large universities. The population is college students at large universities, and the sample is accounting students. The population is accounting program alumni at large universities, and the sample is the 198 alumni who returned the survey.

A researcher would like to conduct a study related to student emotional intelligence (EQ) in a university. The researcher would like to examine two objectives in his study. First, he would like to examine whether the EQ training and coaching programme will improve the level of EQ for university students. Second, he would like to study the relationship between student academic performance (CGPA) and students’ emotional intelligence (EQ) in a university. Twenty samples of students from the first year were taken for the study. The researcher has collected the data for a few variables: gender, academic performance, and emotional intelligence (EQ) test score. The study is divided into two parts. First, the student must answer the emotional intelligence (EQ) test assessment before attending the EQ training and coaching programme. Second, the researcher will request the same twenty students to attend a one-month emotional intelligence (EQ) coaching and training programme. Upon completing the…

In a study examining the effect of humor on interpersonal attractions, McGee and Shevlin (2009) foundthat a man’s sense of humor had a significant effect onhow he was perceived by women. In the study, femalecollege students were given brief descriptions of a potential romantic partner and then rated the attractivenessof the male on a scale from 1 (low) to 7 (high). Thefictitious male was described positively as being single,ambitious, and having good job prospects. In one condition, the description also said that he had a great senseof humor. The results showed that the description wasrated significantly higher when “a sense of humor” wasincluded. To further examine this effect, a researcherselected a sample of n = 16 college males and askedthem to read a brief description of a female and thenrate the attractiveness of the woman in the description.The description had been used in previous research butwas modified by adding a statement describing a goodsense of humor. Based on the…
