Chapter 16, Problem 20CE

Instructions: In all exercises, you may use a computer package (e.g., MegaStat, Minitab) or show Excel calculations in a worksheet, depending on your instructor’s wishes. Include relevant output or screen shots to support your answers. If you do the calculations yourself, show your work. State the hypotheses and give the test statistic and its two-tailed p-value. Make the decision. If the decision is close, say so. Are there issues of sample size? Is non-normality a concern?

16.20 A cognitive retraining clinic assists outpatient victims of head injury, anoxia, or other conditions that result in cognitive impairment. Each incoming patient is evaluated to establish an appropriate treatment program and estimated length of stay (ELOS is always a multiple of 4 weeks because treatment sessions are scheduled on a monthly basis). To see if there is any difference in ELOS between the two clinics, a sample is taken, consisting of all patients evaluated at each clinic during October, with the results shown. Research question: At α = .10, do the medians differ?

explain the importance of the Hypothesis test in a business setting, and give an example of a situation where it is helpful in business decision making.
A college wants to estimate what students typically spend on textbooks. A report fromthe college bookstore observes that textbooks range in price from $22 to $186. Toobtain a 95% confidence level for a confidence interval estimate to plus or minus $10,how many students should the college survey? (We may estimate the populationstandard deviation as (range) ÷ 4.)
In a study of how students give directions, forty volunteers were given the task ofexplaining to another person how to reach a destination. Researchers measured thefollowing five aspects of the subjects’ direction-giving behavior:• whether a map was available or if directions were given from memory without a map,• the gender of the direction-giver,• the distances given as part of the directions,• the number of times directions such as “north” or “left” were used,• the frequency of errors in directions. Identify each of the variables in this study, and whether each is quantitative orqualitative. For each quantitative variable, state whether it is discrete or continuous. Was this an observational study or an experimental study? Explain your answer.
