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)

Results from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) conducted thirty years ago revealed that out of 378 randomly selected adults in the United States 57 were considered to be obese. In this year’s National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, out of 426randomly selected adults in the United States 135 were considered to be obese. Based on these results, can one conclude, at the 0.01 level of significance, that the percentage of adults in the United States that are obese is considerably higher now than it was thirty years ago?

An article in Knee Surgery Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, "Effect of provider volume on resource utilization for surgical procedures," (2005, Vol. 13, pp. 273-279) showed a mean time of 116 minutes and a standard deviation of 18 minutes for ACL reconstruction surgery for high-volume hospitals (with more than 300 such surgeries per year). If a high-volume hospital needs to schedule 10 surgeries, what is the mean and variance of the total time to complete these surgeries? Assume the times of the surgeries are independent and normally distributed. Mean = i Variance = i minutes minutes²
Is narcissism a more common personality trait today than it was a few decades ago? It is known that the mean population score on the Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI) for students attending University of South Alabama around 20 years ago was μ= 15 (Twenge, 2010). Interested in the narcissism levels of students in the year 2020, a researcher administers the NPI to a random sample of 25 University of Alabama sophomores this Spring term. The mean NPI score from the researcher’s sample of sophomores is M = 16.5, with s = 3.4. 1. Write the null and alternative hypotheses in symbols. Possible symbols for your answer: H0, H1, μ, M, σ. 2.

A researcher wants to test the effectiveness of a new drug to treat asthma. One hundred patients with chronic, stable asthma were randomly assigned to one of three groups to receive a placebo (0mg), 1mg of drug, or 5 mg of drug. After treatment, a doctor tested the patient’s forced expiratory volume for 1 second (FEV1). Which statistical test would be best to determine if there is a significant difference between groups? one-sample t-test dependent samples t-test independent samples t-test ANOVA
Popular Diets. In the article “Comparison of the Atkins, Ornish, Weight Watchers, and Zone Diets for Weight Loss and Heart Disease Risk Reduction” (Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 293, No. 1, pp. 43–53), M. Dansinger et al. conducted a randomized trial to assess the effectiveness of four popular diets for weight loss. Overweight adults with average body mass index of 35 and ages 22–72 years participated in the randomized trial for 1 year. The weight losses, in kilograms, based on the results of the experiment are given on the WeissStats site. Negative losses are gains. WW = Weight Watchers. a. Obtain individual normal probability plots and the standard deviations of the samples. b. Perform a residual analysis. c. Use your results from parts (a) and (b) to decide whether conducting a one-way ANOVA test on the data is reasonable. If so, also do parts (d) and (e). d. Use a one-way ANOVA test to decide, at the 5% significance level, whether the data provide sufficient…
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?

A study in a journal published by the American Academy of Pediatrics (as reported in the Miami Herald, Jan. 14, 1997) seems to suggest that preschoolers who drink more than 12 ounces of fruit juice a day tend to be heavier and shorter than preschoolers who do not. The study involved a random sample of 168 healthy youngsters of whom 59 drank on average more than 12 ounces of fruit juice per day. Each child was weighed and measured. The measurements were then converted to percentage of normal height and weight for a child of that age and gender. For example, a weight percentage of 1.1 indicates that the child is 10% heavier than average. A recorded 0.80 indicates the child is 20% below the average. An average weight is recorded as 1.0. Same with height. Column 1: Juice 1- indicates child DID drink > 12 oz 2- child DID NOT drink > 12 oz Column 2: Weight% weight converted to percent of…
