A local government official observes an increase in the number of individuals with cardiovascular and obesity problems in his barangay. In
order to improve the health conditions of his constituents, he aims to promote an easy and cheap way to reduce weight. It is known that
obesity results in greater risk of having illnesses like diabetes and heart problems. He encouraged his constituents to participate in his Dance
for Life project every weekend for 3 months. To know if the program is effective in reducing weight, he randomly selected 12 participants from
the group who completed the program. The weight loss data, in kilograms, of the 12 randomly selected participants after completing the
program are: 0.5, 0.7, 0.9, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3,1.4, 2.0, 2.3, 2.4, 2.7, and 3.0. It is known that the weight loss of those who have completed the dance
program follows a normal distribution with a variance of 3.24. Construct a 90% confidence interval estimate for the true mean weight loss of
the…
A researcher wants to conduct an experimental study on the effect of learning strategies (cooperative and conventional) and learning interest (low, medium, and high) on learning outcomes. The total number of research samples is 90 students and each cell is 15 students. You determine the research data on the learning outcomes yourself. Interpret the results of the research data analysis.
The structure of a two-factor study can be presented as a matrix, with one factor determining the rows and the second factor determining the columns. With this structure in mind, identify the three separate hypothesis tests that make up a two-factor ANOVA, and explain the purpose of each test. Describe the mean differences that are evaluated by each of the three hypothesis test.

He would like to determine which fertilizer produces banana trees with the largest yield (measured in pounds of bananas produced). The banana grower has noticed that there is a difference in the average yields of the banana trees depending on which side of the farm they are planted (South Side, North Side, West Side, or East Side), therefore, a randomized block design is used in the study. Because of the variation in yields among the areas on the farm, the farmer has decided to randomly select three trees within each area and then randomly assign the fertilizers to the trees. After harvesting the bananas, he calculates the yields of the trees within each of the areas. Can the banana grower conclude that there is a significant difference among the average yields of the banana trees for the three fertilizers? The results are as follows. Average Yield of Banana Trees Side of Farm Fertilizer A Fertilizer B Fertilizer C…arrow_forward

At the end of the class, 43 of these students said that they felt confident in their ability to write computer programs. Another group of 40 students were taught the same material using a standard method. At the end of class, 25 of these students said they felt confident.

The dealer believes that the average gas mileage of a particular car will vary depending on the person who is driving the car due to different driving styles.
