A research report states t(18)=+3.00, p<. 05. For this test, r2 =. 33
You are a researcher who wants to know what the mean (µ) level of anxiety would be for the whole population if they were all receiving a new anti-anxiety therapy. You can’t give the therapy to the whole population, so you give it to a sample, and you get M = 32.1 as the average anxiety level for the sample on the therapy. What is the reason that you can’t just simply assume that µ = 32.1?
You didn’t use random assignment

Researchers suspect that myopia, or nearsightedness is becoming more common overtime. A study from the year 2000 showed 132 cases of myopia in 400 randomly selected people. A separate study from 2018 showed 228 cases in 600 randomly selected people. Is there enough evidence to support the researcher's suspicion that the proportion of myopia cases in 2018 is higher than the proportion of myopia cases in 2000? Use alpha = 0.05. Let P1 represent the proportion of myopia cases in 2018 and let p2 be the proportion of myopia cases in 2000. 1) State Ho and Ha 2) Calculate the value of the test statistic, z (round to 2 decimal places) 3) Calculate the p-value (round to 4 decimal places) 4) Decide to reject or fail to reject Ho 5) Write your conclusion in the context of the claim.

The respondents were asked to rate a series of reasons on a scale from 1 to 5, with 1 representing little importance and 5 representing great importance. One of the reasons suggested was general curiosity. Responses for 50 people from the electronics industry results in a sample mean of 1.96 and 50 people from the food industry results in a sample mean of 3.02 for general curiosity. Use the data and α = 0.01 to determine whether there is a significant difference between people in these two industries on this question. Assume the variance for the electronics population is 1.0188 and the variance for the food population is 0.9180. Clearly state your null and alternate hypothesis. State the decision rule. Show the calculation of the test statistic. Give your answer to 2 decimal places where appropriate. State the statistical conclusion and explain the result in context of the question.arrow_forward
- A diet center wanted to test three different methods for losing weight to determine if the average weight loss (reported in pounds/week) for each method is the same. The results for the three methods are tabulated below. Given that there is a significant difference between the three methods, use the Tukey test to determine if there is a significant difference between each pair of methods. Let a=0.05.

The researcher tested 40 highlighters and recorded the number of continuous hours each highlighter wrote before drying up. Test the hypothesis that the highlighters wrote for more than 14 continuous hours. Following are the summary statistics: x = 14.5 hours, s = 1,2 hoursarrow_forwardThe linguist George Kingsley Zipf (1902–1950) proposed a law that bears his name. In a typical English text, the most commonly occurring word is "the." We say that its frequency rank r is 1. The frequency f of occurrence of "the" is about f = 7%. That is, in a typical English text, the word "the" accounts for about 7 out of 100 occurrences of words. The second most common word is "of," so it has a frequency rank of r = 2. Its frequency of occurrence is f = 3.5%. Zipf's law gives a power relationship between frequency of occurrence f, as a percentage, and frequency rank r. (Note that a higher frequency rank means a word that occurs less often.) The relationship is f = cr−1, where c is a constant. (a) Use the frequency information given for "the" to determine the value of c. c = ________________ (b) The third most common English word is "and." According to Zipf's law, what is the frequency of this word in a typical English text? Round your answer to one decimal place._________ %(c) If…arrow_forward
