The following table is from a publication. The individuals in the following table have an eye irritation, a nose irritation, or a throat irritation. They have only one of the three. Is there sufficient evidence to reject the hypothesis that the type of ear, nose, or throat irritation is independent of the age group at a level of significance equal to 0.05?

A particular paper described a study of children who were underweight or normal weight at age 2. Children in the sample were classified according to the number of sweet drinks consumed per day and whether or not the child was overweight one year after the study began. Is there evidence of an association between whether or not children are overweight after one year and the number of sweet drinks consumed? Assume that it is reasonable to regard the sample of children in this study as representative of 2 to 3 years old children and then test the appropriate hypotheses using a .05 significance level.

A researcher wanted to know if there was a correlation between the number of times a boxer incurred head injuries (traumatic encephalopathy) to depression scores reported by the same individuals. The data for 10 boxers (number of injuries and depression scores from 0-10 where 0 means no depression) is as follows: Number of brain injury Depression Score 0 1 9 10 4 7 7 8 2 1 1 0 8 10 5 5 0 2 4 6 a. Use the four steps of hypothesis testing and calculate a Pearson correlation for the above data, starting with the hypotheses.b. Find critical value at an alpha level at α=.05, two tailed.c. Include the coefficient of determination with a sentence explaining the outcome of both calculations in APA format.d. Create a scatter plot by hand of the above data set.
A warehouse manager wants to know if there is an association between the shift worked and being on time for work. To investigate, he selects a random sample of 70 workers and classifies each one according to the shift they worked most recently and whether they were on time for work. He was unable to classify a substantial number of people as being on time, so he classified those individuals as unknown. The data are displayed in the table. The manager would like to know if these data provide convincing evidence of an association between the shift worked and being on time in the large population of all workers at this warehouse. The random and 10% conditions are met. Is the Large Counts condition met? Yes, the smallest expected count is 5, so all expected counts are at least 5. Yes, the smallest expected count is 8.54, so all expected counts are at least 5. No, the smallest expected count is 2.56, so the expected counts are not all at least 5. No, the smallest expected count is…
An article reported that in a particular year, there were 717 bicyclists killed on public roadways in a particular country, and that the average age of the cyclists killed was 43 years. These figures were based on an analysis of the records of all traffic-related deaths of bicyclists on public roadways of that country. (a) Does the group of 717 bicycle fatalities represent a census or a sample of the bicycle fatalities for that year? O a census O a sample (b) If the population of interest is bicycle traffic fatalities for this particular year, is the given average age of 43 years a number that describes a sample or a number that describes the population? O a number that describes a sample O a number that describes the population
Bank of America's Consumer Spending Survey collected data on annual credit card charges in seven different categories of expenditures: transportation, groceries, dining out, household expenses, home furnishings, apparel, and entertainment. Using data from a sample of 42 credit card accounts, assume that each account was used to identify the annual credit card charges for groceries (population 1) and the annual credit card charges for dining out (population 2) Using the difference data, the sample mean difference was d = $850, and the sample standard deviation was så = $1,123. a. Formulate the null and alternative hypotheses to test for no difference between the population mean credit card charges for groceries and the population mean credit card charges for dining out.

Snoqualmie” is a name shared by a waterfall and a tribe of Native Americans. In a study of the cultural importance of the waterfall, two groups of the Snoqualmie tribe were randomly surveyed. One group consisted of Snoqualmie members living less than 25 miles from the waterfall. Another group consisted of Snoqualmie members living more than 25 miles from the waterfall. The researchers asked each member to rate the cultural importance of the waterfall as low, medium, or high. Data from the study are presented in the following table. Members Living More Than 25 Miles from the Waterfall Members Living Less Than 25 Miles from the Waterfall Total Low 25 17 42 Medium 8 21 29 High 5 12 17 Total 38 50 88 If the distributions of ratings are the same for those Snoqualmie members living less than 25 miles from the waterfall and those living more than 25 miles from the waterfall, which of the following is equal to the expected count of members living less than 25 miles from the…
An educational psychologist is interested in whether using a child’s own name in a story affected attention span while reading. Six children were randomly assigned to read a story under ordinary conditions (using common and generic names). Five other children read versions of the same story, but with each child’s ownname substituted for one of the children in the story. The researcher measured the amount of time (in minutes) each child spent reading the story. The results are shown in the following table. Does including the child’s namemake any difference in attention span? Test the hypothesis at an alpha set to .05, following these steps: a) write the null and alternative hypotheses; b) determine the critical value(s); c) draw the comparison distribution with rejection region(s) shaded; d)use the correct formula to compute the test statistic; e) state the statistical decision; f) state a brief conclusion.
