What does P-value indicate? In statistical analysis the results for two sets of data are presented with P < 0.01 and P<0.005. What does it mean?
If you mix together an equal number of F+ and F− cells, how would you expect the proportions to change over time? In other words, do you expect an increase in the relative proportion of F+ or of F− cells? Explain your answer.
The mean weight of loaves of bread produced at the bakery where you work is supposed to be 1 pound. You are the supervisor of
quality control at the bakery, and you are concerned that new employees are producing loaves that are too light. Suppose you
weigh an SRS of bread loaves and find that the mean weight is 0.975 pound.
What are the appropriate hypotheses for performing this significance test?
Ho : x = 1; H. : x < 1 where i = the sample mean weight (in pounds) of bread loaves produced at the bakery.
Ho : u = 1; H. : µ < 1 where u = the true mean weight (in pounds) of bread loaves produced at the bakery.
Ho : µ < 1; H, : H = 1 where u = the true mean weight (in pounds) of bread loaves produced at the bakery.
Ho : u = 1; H. : p = 0.975 where u= the true mean weight (in pounds) of bread loaves produced at the bakery.
Ho : u = 1; H. : u # 1 where u= the true mean weight (in pounds) of bread loaves produced at the bakery.

Please answer at your own easy words .arrow_forwardI'm having trouble finding the dependent and independent variables of this scenaro: Average IQ scores for young school children are known to be 100 (SD = 15). However, the literature indicates that children’s intelligence may be decreased if their mothers have German measles during pregnancy. Using hospital records, a researcher obtained a sample of n = 25 school children whose mothers all had German measles during their pregnancies. Do the data indicate that children born to mothers who had German measles during the pregnancy have significantly lower IQ scores than typical young school children?arrow_forwardFor which quantitive expression the standard abbreviation 'dB' is used?arrow_forward

In a clinical trial, among randomly selected subjects treated with OxyContin, 52 developed nausea and 175 did not develop nausea. Among other randomly selected subjects given placebos, 5 developed nausea and 40 did not develop nausea. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the proportion of nausea is different for those on OxyContin than for those who are on placebo. Use the critical value method.
