Chapter 9.2, Problem 16BSC

In Exercises 5–20, assume that the two samples are independent simple random samples selected from normally distributed populations, and do not assume that the population standard deviations are equal. (Note: Answers in Appendix D include technology answers based on Formula 9-1 along with “Table” answers based on Table A-3 with df equal to the smaller of n₁ − 1 and n₂ − 1.)

16. Bad Stuff in Children’s Movies Data Set 11 “Alcohol and Tobacco in Movies” in Appendix B includes lengths of times (seconds) of tobacco use shown in animated children’s movies. For the Disney movies, n = 33, x ¯ = 61.6 sec, s = 118.8 sec. For the other movies, n = 17, x ¯ = 49.3 sec, s = 69.3 sec. The sorted times for the non-Disney movies are listed below.

a. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that Disney animated children’s movies and other animated children’s movies have the same mean time showing tobacco use.

b. Construct a confidence interval appropriate for the hypothesis test in part (a).

c. Conduct a quick visual inspection of the listed times for the non-Disney movies and comment on the normality requirement. How does the normality of the 17 non-Disney times affect the results?

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.

A prospective cohort study is run to estimate the incidence of stroke in persons 55 years of age and older. All participants are free of stroke at study start. Each participant is followed for a maximum of 5 years. The data are summarized in Table 3–14. Number of Strokes Number of Stroke-Free Person-Years Men (n = 125) 9 478 Women (n = 200) 21 97 What is the annual incidence rate of stroke in men? What is the annual incidence rate of stroke in women? What is the annual incidence rate of stroke (men and women combined)?

Refer to the data presented in Exercise 2.86. Note that there were 50% more accidents in the 25 to less than 30 age group than in the 20 to less than 25 age group. Does this suggest that the older group of drivers in this city is more accident- prone than the younger group? What other explanation might account for the difference in accident rates?

The article cited in Exercise 4 also investigated the effects of the factors on glucose consumption (in g/L). A single measurement is provided for each combination of factors (in the article, there was some replication). The results are presented in the following table. Glucose Consumption 68.0 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 77.5 -1 -1 98.0 1. 1. -1 98.0 -1 -1 74.0 -1 77.0 -1 97.0 98.0 Compute estimates of the main effects and the interactions. a. Is it possible to compute an error sum of squares? Explain. Are any of the interactions among the larger effects? If so, which ones? d. Assume that it is known from past experience that the additive model holds. Add the sums of squares for the interactions, and use that result in place of an error sum of squares to test the hypotheses that the main effects are equal to 0. Ъ. C.
