Suzanne Zeedyk, a developmental psychologist at Dundee University’s School of Psychology, conducted a pilot study in which parents started out a half-hour walk with their infants in a parent-facing or an away-facing stroller and switched midway to the other type. Her results suggest that parents talked less to the babies and the babies had higher heart rates, and were less likely to fall asleep, in away-facing compared with parent-facing strollers.
A stroller manufacturer investigates whether there are differences in expressive vocabularies between babies who travel in parent-facing strollers and babies who travel in away-facing strollers. It randomly assigns 17 newborns to parent-facing strollers and 17 newborns to away-facing strollers. When the babies are 24 months old, their expressive vocabularies are tested using the the Expressive Vocabulary Test (EVT).
The sample means and sums of squares of the scores for each of the groups are presented in the table that follows.

Construct a scatter diagram using the data table to the right.
This data is from a study comparing the amount of tar and
carbon monoxide (CO) in cigarettes. Use tar for the horizontal
scale and use carbon monoxide (CO) for the vertical scale.
Determine whether there appears to be a relationship
between cigarette tar and CO.

- Determine whether the given procedure results in a binomial distribution (or a distribution that can be treated as binomial). If the procedure is not binomial, identify at least one requirement that is not satisfied. The YSORT method of sex selection, developed by the Genetics & IVF Institute, was designed to increase the likelihood that a baby will be a boy. When 70 couples use the YSORT method and give birth to 70 babies, the sex of the babies is recorded. Does the procedure represent a binomial distribution? ○ A. No, because there are more than two categories for each trial. B. No, because the trials of the procedure are not independent. C. Yes, because the procedure satisfies all the criteria for a binomial distribution. D. No, because the probability of success differs from trial to trial.arrow_forwardDetermine whether the given value is a statistic or a parameter.
