The article “Factors Associated with Exercise Behavior in People with Parkinson Disease” (T. Ellis, J. Cavanaugh, et al., Physical Therapy, 2011:1838–1848) reported a survey of patients with Parkinson's disease. Of 164 patients who said they exercised regularly, 76 reported falling in the previous six months. Of 96 patients who said they did not exercise regularly, 48 reported falling in the previous six months. Can you conclude that the proportion of patients who fall is less for those who exercise than for those who do not?
Suppose the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) wants to examine the safety of
compact cars, midsize cars, and full-size cars. It collects a sample of three for each of the
treatments (cars types). Using the hypothetical data provided below, test whether the mean
pressure applied to the driver's head during a crash test is equal for each types of car. Use
a = 0.05, ssw=6300 and SST=6350.
1) The null and the alternative hypotheses are :
a) Ho: H1 = H2 = Hg.
H: At most one of uj:j = 1,2,3 is different.
H : At least one of u;:j = 1,2,3 is different.
H: At least one of H;:j = 1,2,3 is different.

To determine whether a new sleeping pill has an affect that varies with dosage, a researcher randomly assigns adult insomniacs, in equal numbers, to receive either 4 or 8 grams of the sleeping pill. The amount of sleeping time is measured for each subject during an 8-hour period after the administration of the dosage. What type of design is this, and what type of statistic is needed to analyze the data (consider ABAB studies)?

- A study was made of 1,057 cases of poisoning in children treated as inpatients at Milwaukee Children's Hospital from 1962 through 1968. Data on date of occurrence, age and sex of the child, and type of agent involved were recorded and analyzed by standard statistical methods. Poisoning was due to ingestion of aspirin in 35 per cent of the children studied and to the ingestion of hydrocarbon distillates in 18 per cent. A statistically significant male dominance was found for ingestion of hydrocarbons; age-specific peaks were found for some categories. Trends as to the relative and absolute frequencies of each specific poison from one year to the next were noted; possible reasons for increasing or decreasing trends are discussed.

After using a multiple comparison procedure, the authors reported the following. 1. The difference in mean blood lead level between low-risk housing and medium-risk housing was significant. 2. The difference in mean blood lead level between low-risk housing and high-risk housing was significant. 3. The difference in mean blood lead level between medium-risk housing and high-risk housing was significant.

Binge-watching a television show might not be the best way to enjoy a television series (Horvath et al., 2017). Participants in an experiment were in a group that either watched an entire tv series during daily one-hour sessions or watched all the episodes during a single binge session. Participants were asked to rate their enjoyment of the t.v. series on a scale of 0-100. Data like those observed by the author are listed below: Binge-watched 87 Daily-watched 84 71 100 73 87 86 97 78 92 a. Is there a difference in the level of enjoyment based on whether the series was binge-watched or watched on a daily basis? Use a two-tailed test at the a = 0.05 level of significance? b.
