A neuroscientist wants to know if physical exercise changes reaction speed in elderly people.
A total of 14 older volunteer participants were found. One sample of n = 7 subjects received an exercise treatment, while the second sample (n = 7) of participants were given stretching lessons for the same amount of time per week.
Reaction speed was tested on a computer program after six weeks of treatment. Reaction speed was measured in milliseconds. Data shown below.

An experimenter wants to study the relationship between type of milk and infant growth in underdeveloped countries. She randomly assigns 300 infants to either a breast-feeding group or an infant formula group. She then weighs the infants every three days for the first four weeks of life.
Strands of human hair absorb elements from the bloodstream and provide a historical record of both health and the use or nonuse of chemical substances. Hair grows at the rate of about one – half inch per month, and a person with long hair might be accused or absolved on the basis of a segment of hair that sprouted many months or years ago. By separately analyzing sections of the hair strand, scientists can even approximate the periods of time during which drug use was heavy, moderate, light or altogether absent. If a transit employee provides a strand of hair for drug testing, state the null and alternative hypothesis in verbal terms, then identify what would constitute a Type I error and Type II error in this situation.

Different formulas are used for different colleges and majors. Suppose that a student is applying to a university with an intended major in civil engineering. Also suppose that for this college and this major, the following model is used to predict first term GPA. GPA = a + b(ACT) a = 0.6 b = 0.2 (a) In this context, what would be the appropriate interpretation of the value of a? The value of a is the predicted ACT score of a student who has a 0 GPA. There is not enough information to know how to interpret the value of a. The value of a represents the change in predicted GPA associated with an increase of 1 in ACT score. The value of a represents the change in predicted GPA associated with an decrease of 1 in ACT score. The value of a is the predicted GPA of a student who scored a 0 on the ACT.

Now Easton has asked you to evaluate the effectiveness of the spending increase. Their data show that before the spending increase, the average annual salary of recent high school graduates was $25,000 and that now that average salary has risen to $28,500. Fortunately for your analysis, a neighboring community (Allentown) did not change its annual spending on education. Ten years ago, recent Allentown high school graduates earned an average of $22,500, and now that average is $23,750. (a) Use a difference-in-differences estimator to determine whether Easton’s spending increase caused the wages of their high school graduates to increase. please provide an accurate answer.arrow_forward
- The mango is considered the "king of fruits" in many parts of the world. Mangoes are generally harvested at the mature green stage and ripen up during the marketing process of transport, storage, and so on. During this process, about 30% of the fruit is wasted. Because of this, the impact of harvest stage and storage conditions on the postharvest quality are of interest. In this experiment, the fruit was harvested at 80, 95, or 110 days after the fruit setting (the transition from flower to fruit) and then stored at temperatures of 20∘C, 30∘C, or 40∘C. For each harvest time and storage temperature, a random sample of mangoes was selected, and the time to ripening was measured. What are the factors, the treatments, and the response variables? Take each item from the answer bank and place into the appropriate category.arrow_forwardThe mango is considered the "king of fruits" in many parts of the world.

She randomly divides twenty-four students into three groups of eight. All students study a passage of text for 30 minutes. Those in group 1 study with background sound at a constant volume in the background. Those in group 2 study with noise that changes volume periodically. Those in group 3 study with no sound at all. After studying, all students take a 10 point multiple choice test over the material. Their scores follow: Group test scores 1) constant sound 7 4 6 8 6 6 2 9 2) random sound 5 5 3 4 4 7 2 2 3) no sound 2 4 7 1 2 1 5 5 Calculate the Between-Subject One-Way ANOVA, make sure you include all the steps and show your calculations.

A medical research center has developed an alternative medication and suggests the doctor try it to determine whether the new medicine lowers the number of patients who have an allergic reaction. The new drug is quite expensive, so the research center offers a free, one-year trial period to determine whether the number of allergic reactions decreases. If it works, the doctor's office will pay for continued use of the medication. What would happen if the doctor makes a Type II error? O Claim the new medication decreases the number of patients who have an allergic reaction, when it does decrease the number. O Claim the new medication decreases the number of patients who have an allergic reaction, when it does not decrease the number.
