A researcher wishes to determine if violent television shows increase the tendency of young children to exhibit physical aggression. They have three video shows at their disposal – a cartoon with a high level of physical violence, an episode of Barney, a television show promoting understanding with little or no physical violence or aggression, and a ‘neutral’ show on how corn is grown. Design an experiment to address the researcher’s question using a repeated-measures ANOVA approach.

This data set contains the achievement test (English as a Second Language) results and some background data collected during experimental trial of a new ESL program. The study was one year in duration. Students were allocated to the experimental ESL program class and a regular program control class on a random basis. Vocabulary and grammar tests were administered to the students in both groups at the beginning and the end of the school year. Variables The dataset includes 24 cases and 7 variables: Student ID Group (1 - experimental, 2 - control, 9 - missing) Gender (1 - male, 2 - female, 9 - missing) Pre-test vocabulary scores (scores range from 0 - 25, 99 - missing) Pre-test grammar scores (scores range from 0 - 25, 99 - missing) Post-test vocabulary scores (scores range from 0 - 25, 99 - missing) Post-test grammar scores (scores range from 0 - 25, 99 - missing) (a) develop a research question that can be addressed with independent-samples t test (b) state the null and alternative…
RightAid Inc. operates a regional chain of 120 pharmacies. Each pharmacy's floor plan includes a greeting card department which is relatively isolated. Cathy Eng, Marketing Manager, feels that the level of lighting in the greeting card department may affect sales in that department. She chooses three levels of lighting (soft, medium, and bright) and randomly assigns six pharmacies to each lighting level. Analysis of Cathy's data yielded the following ANOVA table: Source of Variation Treatment Error Total SS 49411.11 35529.17 84940.28 df 2 15 17 Using a = 0.05, the appropriate decision is MS 24705.56 2368.611 reject the null hypothesis μ₁ #2 #H3 do not reject the null hypothesis H₁ H2 H3 do not reject the null hypothesis µ1 ≥ H2 ≥ H3 reject the null hypothesis M₁ = M2 = μ3 O inconclusive F 10.4304
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.

QSR Magazine published the latest results of its annual quick serve resturant drive-thru study. One aspect of the study examined the customer drive-thru wait times for various brands. The drive-thru wait times for random samples of customers at Chick-fil-A, McDonald's, and KFC are given in the table below. Brand Customers drive-thru wait times (in seconds) Chick-fil-A 485 496 489 460 487 477 495 McDonald's 356 362 343 327 369 351 350 KFC 291 269 251 283 286 294 278 (a) Conduct a hypothesis test using a=0.05 to determine whether the mean drive-thru wait times of customers at Chick-fila-A, and KFC are the same. Assume that drive thru wait times for each of these brands reasonably follow a normal distribution. (b) Use the sample data collected in Problem 4 to construct…
