Refer to laserjeans.xlsx to answer the questions below. These real data come from Ondogan, Z., Pamuk, O., Ondogan, E. N., & Ozguney, A. (2005). Improving the appearance of all textile products from clothing to home textile using laser technology. Optics and Laser Technology, 37, 631-637. Researchers sought to test the differences in tensile strength of jeans designed by hand versus those designed with lasers. 1. What type of measurement scale do each of the five variables use? 2. Create histograms for those that are continuous (interval or ratio). How would you describe the shape of these distributions? 3. A textile researcher wants to simplify the strength data by turning this continuous variable into an ordinal variable with 10 equal interval widths. Given that the lowest force resulting in a rip was 860 N, and the greatest force resulting in a rip was 1,450 N, what should the interval widths (also called bins or breaks) be? Fill in the second column of the…

- How much noisier are streets where cars travel faster? The article "Modeling of Urban Area Stop-and-Go Traffic Noise" (P. Pamanikabud and C. Tharasawatpipat, Journal of Transportation Engineering, 1999:152–159) reports noise levels in decibels and average speed in kilometers per hour for a sample of roads.

The ankle brachial index (ABI) compares the blood pressure of a patient’s arm to the blood pressure of the patient’s leg. The ABI can be an indicator of different diseases, including arterial diseases. A healthy (or normal) ABI is 0.9 or greater. In a study by M. McDermott et al. titled “Sex Differences in Peripheral Arterial Disease: Leg Symptoms and Physical Functioning” (Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, Vol. 51, No. 2, pp. 222–228), the researchers obtained the ABI of 187 women with peripheral arterial disease. The results were a mean ABI of 0.64 with a standard deviation of 0.15. At the 1% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that, on average, women with peripheral arterial disease have an unhealthy ABI?arrow_forwardDo wearable devices that monitor diet and physical activity help people lose weight? Researchers had 237 subjects who were already involved in a program of diet and exercise use wearable technology for 24 months. They measured their weight (in kilograms) before using the technology and 24 months after using the technology. The 237 differences in weight (weight after 24 months minus weight before using the wearable technology) had x = -3.5 and s = 7.8. Let u be the mean weight difference. 41 John M.

The researcher is interested in the effect of education on earnings. Suppose you run a regression of earnings on person-specific and time-specific control variables. Can this regression be used to estimate the effect of gender on an individual's earnings or the effect of the national unemployment rate on an individual's earnings? A. Neither effect can be estimated using this regression. B. It can be used to estimate the effect of both gender and the national unemployment rate on an individual's earnings C. It can be used to estimate the effect of gender on an individual's earnings, but not the effect of the national unemployment rate on an individual's earnings. D. It can be used to estimate the effect of the national unemployment rate on an individual's earnings, but not the effect of gender on an individual's earnings.arrow_forward
