Worker Fatigue. A study by M. Chen et al. titled "Heat Stress Evaluation and Worker Fatigue in a Steel Plant" (American Industrial Hygiene Association, Vol. 64, pp. 352-359) assessed fatigue in steel- plant workers due to heat stress. A random sample of 29 casting work- ers had a mean post-work heart rate of 78.3 beats per minute (bpm). At the 5% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean post-work heart rate for casting workers ex- ceeds the normal resting heart rate of 72 bpm? Assume that the popu- lation standard deviation of post-work heart rates for casting workers is 11.2 bpm. Perform one mean Z procedure a. Hypothesis: (5 points) b. Test statistic: (5 points) c. Critical-value: (4 points) d. P Value (4 Points) e. Hypothesis test conclusion and interpretation: (2 points)

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?

The Paleo diet allows only for foods that humans typically consumed over the last 2.5 million years, excluding those agriculture-type foods that arose during the last 10,000 years or so. Researchers randomly divided 500 volunteers into two equal-sized groups. One group spent 6 months on the Paleo diet. The other group received a pamphlet about controlling portion sizes. A randomized treatment assignment was performed, and at the beginning of the study, the average difference in weights between the two groups was about 0 pounds. After the study, the Paleo group had lost an average of 7.1 pounds with a standard deviation of 22.75 pounds while the control group had lost an average of 4.5 pounds with a standard deviation of 11.5 pounds. After failing to reject the null hypothesis support your answer with a p-value (a) P-value = _______

Q1: Placebo effect of exercise In a high-profile research study, Crum and Langer (2007) performed an experiment to test whether the relationship between physical exercise and health is impacted by one's mindset: in other words, if there is any "placebo effect" of exercise. A sample of 84 randomly selected hotel workers in the United States were placed either into a treatment group (n=44) or control group (n=40) depending on which hotel they worked at. The treatment group was given information demonstrating how their work is good physical exercise, while the control group was not given this information. They measured the body mass index (BMI) for each worker before the experiment and again four weeks after the experiment. a. Are the treatment group and control group independent of each other, and if so why? b. Now consider the treatment group alone: are the measurements of BMI taken before and after the experiment independent of each other, and if so why? c. What is the most appropriate…

In intaglio printing, a design or figure is carved beneath the surface of hard metal or stone. Suppose that an experiment is designed to compare differences in mean surface hardness of steel plates used in intaglio printing (measured in indentation numbers), based on two different surface conditions-untreated and treated by lightly polishing with emery paper. In the experiment, 40 steel plates are randomly assigned-20 that are untreated, and 20 that are treated. The results of the experiment are in the “Intaglio” data in Chapter 10_HW_Data.xls. Assuming that the population variances from both conditions are equal, is there evidence of a difference in the mean surface hardness between untreated and treated steel plates? (use α = 0.05) Determine the p-value in (a) and interpret its meaning. In addition to equal variances, what other assumption is necessary in (a)? Repeat Problem (a), assuming that the population variances from untreated and treated steel plates are not…
Researchers examine the association between the fluoridation of water and the prevention of tooth decay by comparing the prevalence of tooth decay in countries that have fluoridated water with the prevalence in countries that do not. Is this a randomized experiment or an observational study? Assume that tooth decay was seen to be less common in countries with fluoridated water. Could this result be due to confounding?
Can eating a yogurt a day cause people to lose weight? In a study investigating this: (1) What is the explanatory variable? (2) What is the response variable?
A bank conducts a survey in which it randomly samples 400 of its customers. The survey asks the customers which way they use the bank the most: (1) interacting with a teller at the bank, (2) using ATM's or (3) using the bank's online banking service. It also asks their level of satisfaction with the service they most often use (on a scale of 0-10 with 0= very poor and 10=excellent). Does mean satisfaction differ according to how they most use the bank? a) Identifying notation, state the null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis for conducting an ANOVA with data from the survey. b) Report the df values for this ANOVA. Above what F statistic values give a P=value below 0.05? c) For the data, F=0.46 and the P-value equals 0.63. what can you conclude? d)What were the assumptions on which the ANOVA was based? Which assumption is the most important? e) based on answer C, do you think it is necessary to conduct Tukey's multiple comparisons? Why or why not?
