A researcher believes that the so-called “sugar high” is not real. He gathered 30 adolescents and recorded their activity level in the scale of 0 – 100 (0 = not active and 100 = super active). First, he recorded participants’ activity level before they consumed candy. After recording their pre-sugar activity level, the researcher gave out 5 Snickers bars to participants. Then, he recorded their post-sugar activity level. The average difference between post-sugar and pre-sugar activity level is 50 (i.e., the activity levels are higher after sugar than prior to it) with a standard deviation of 10.
A). Complete test statistic and critical values
B). Conclusion
Asians and Hispanics. At a=0.05, can you reject the claim that the proportion of newlywed Asians who have a spouse of a different race or ethnicity is the same as the proportion of newlywed Hispanics who have a spouse of a different race or ethnicity?

- Q.3. Explain the relationship between the Poisson and exponential distribution.arrow_forwardA researcher is conducting a study to examine the relationship between age and agility. She recruited a sample of 50 participants, ranging in age from 20 – 65 years old, and asked them to perform a series of agility tests. Afterward, participants were given an average agility score, which was then used in a correlation analysis against participant age. The results of the study are as follows [r(50) = -0.97, p < 0.001]. Identify the correct interpretation below. A. There is a non-significant, weak, negative correlation between age and agility, suggest that as age increases, agility decreases B. There is a statistically significant, strong, negative correlation between age and agility, suggesting that as age increases, agility decreases C. There is a non-significant, moderate, positive correlation between age and agility, suggesting that there is no relationship between these two variables D.

A total of 181 of them answered yes. A sample of 500 voters aged 60 and older were asked the same question and 234 of them answered yes. Can you support the claim that the proportion of voters who support an increase in Social Security benefits is less among younger votes?

- How do you do parts d,e, and f?arrow_forwardInvestigators are trying to determine if the contamination of a town well led to significant increases in adverse health effects. During the period of time when water was consumed from this contaminated well, there were 16 birth defects among 414 births. After this well was shut off, there were 3 birth defects among 228 births. You asked to determine if the rate of birth defects was higher when the contaminated well was in use. a. Test the claim that the contaminated well was not associated with a change in the rate of birth defects in the community at the alpha = 0.05 level, by using the two-proportion z test. Confirm your answers using Stata. b. Calculate a 95% confidence interval for the true difference between the proportions of birth defects when the contaminated well was in use versus when the well was shut down. c.
