PBHL-B302 Assignment #7 Note: For all hypothesis testing problems, please make sure that you write the hypotheses, test statistic, p-value, and conclusions in terms of the problem. 1. For each of the following situations, identify the response variable and the populations to be compared, and give I ,n i , and N . (1) (5 points) A developer of a virtual-reality (VR) teaching tool for the deaf wants to compare the effectiveness of different navigation methods. A total of 40 children were available for the experiment, of which equal numbers were randomly assigned to use a joystick, wand, dance mat, or gesture-based pinch gloves. The time (in seconds) to complete a designed VR path is recorded for each child. The response variable is time to complete VR path. The population is the 40 children. There are 4 groups. There will be 10 kids per group. There are 40 kids in total. (2) (5 points) To study the effects of pesticides on birds, an experimenter randomly (and equally) allocated 65 chicks to five diets (a control and four with a different pesticide included). After a month, the calcium content (milligrams) in a 1-centimeter length of bone from each chick was measured. The response variable is calcium content. The population are the 65 chicks. There are 5 groups, 4 tests and a control. There are 13 chicks per group. There are 65 chicks in total. 2. To compare the means of 5 populations, random samples of size 10 are selected from each population. A partial ANOVA table for this data is as follows: Source df SS MS F P-value Between Groups 4 39.2192 9.8048 <0.0001 Within Groups 45 28.8 Total 49 68.019 a. (5 points) Fill in the missing entries in the ANOVA table. b. (2 points) Find the pooled estimate of the population standard deviation. c. (1 point) State the null and alternative hypotheses in the experiment. Null: The mean for each populations are the same Alternative: Not all means are equal d. (2 points) Test the hypotheses in part c). Use α=0.05.
Does exercise frequency have an association with pulse rate? 110 students in an introductory statistics course were classified into three groups according to their frequency of exercises: 1 = high frequency, 2 = moderate frequency, 3 = low frequency. Their pulse rates were measured. The data are in “ pulse.csv ”. 3. (2 points) Use software to make a side-by-side boxplot of the three exercise frequency groups, and describe what you find. Remember to discuss whether there are outliers, the amount of overlap between the boxes, and the general trends present. Exercise 1 Exercise 2 Exercise 3 Based off the box plots, exercise 2 and 3 each have outliers, 2 and 1 respectively, and the heart rate of the exercises decreases with each exercise, as exercise 1 is the lowest mean and exercise 3 is the highest mean. The overlap between is there in some of the numbers, more so between 2 and 3 rather than them and 1.
4. (2 points) Use software to find the sample size, sample mean, and sample standard deviation of each exercise frequency group. 5. (2 points) Use software to create a means plot. Discuss the results and how this compares to the side-by-side boxplot in #1. Based on this, the comparison is almost the same, as 1 still has the lowest mean and exercise 3 has the highest mean 6. (2 points) Is it reasonable to pool the variances for one-way ANOVA? Why or why not? Yes, as the smallest standard deviation 9.81 * 2 is greater than the biggest standard deviation of 11.45 7. (2 points) State your hypotheses for a one-way ANOVA test for this story. Null:   μ 1 = μ 2 = μ3 Alternative: At least one is different
