A developmental psychologist who wanted to know if the age when children started walking affected school performance divided 48 children into 16-Early, 16-Middle, and 16-Late Walkers. At the end of the second grade, the psychologist computed a composite school performance score based on teachers' reports. The means and estimated population variances for the three groups were: Early Walkers: M = 33, 52 = 25; Middle Walkers: M = 42 52 = 36; Late Walkers: M = 42. 52 = 16. a.) Is there a difference in school performance score between three walking groups? (Use the.05 level.) Use the five steps of hypothesis testing. Label all the steps clearly. Show ALL Work/calculations. b.) Report the statistic in APA format (the statistical sentence).

A manufacturer of household appliances wanted to determine if there was a relationship between family size and the size of washing machine purchased. The manufacturer was preparing guidelines for sales personnel and wanted to know if the sales staff should make specific recommendations to customers. A random sample of 300 families was asked about family size and size of washing machine. For the 40 families with one or two people, 25 had an 8-pound washer, 10 had a 10-pound washer, and 5 had a 12-pound washer. The 140 families with three or four people included 37 with the 8-pound washer, 62 with the 10-pound washer, and 41 with the 12-pound washer. For the remaining 120 families with five or more people, 8 had an 8-pound washer, 53 had a 10-pound washer, and 59 had a 12-pound washer. Based on these results, what can be concluded about family size and size of washer? Construct a two-way table, state the hypothesis, compute the statistics, and state your conclusion.
A researcher is interested in determining if the proportion of children that collect specific types of toys is equal. To test, he takes a random sample of 500 children and finds that 36% of them collect Legos, 19% of them collect Beenie Babies, 18% of them collect Webkinz, and 27% of them collect Hot Wheels. At the 10% significance level, what conclusion can be reached?
1)In a cross-tabulation or contingency table examining the relationship between breed of dog and whether the dog passed certification to become a service animal, it is found that, overrall, 62 percent of the dogs were certified. The data looked at this for 6 breeds of dogs. If breed and being certified are independent of each other, about what percentage of each breed would pass the test? 2)Which of the following features must be present in a research design if the researchers want their data to demonstrate a causal relationship? The cause must take place before the effect. To the extent possible, another variable that explains the relationship needs to be ruled out or accounted for. The two variables need to covary. These three features must all be present. O A and B A correlation coefficient r provides two pieces of information about a relationship between two variables. These are Strength; direction of relationship Direction, proportions
“The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said about 72 million Americans—nearly one out of every four of the country’s 304 million residents—are considered obese. Millions more are designated as overweight.” The American trend toward obesity has prompted many physicians to offer weight-loss programs to their patients. [Source: Price, W. T. “Physicians Get into the Weight-Loss Business.” Florida Today, July 7, 2008.] A physician conducted an experimental study to compare the effectiveness of four different weight-loss programs. In the study, 64 obese adults were randomly assigned to the four programs so that each program had 16 adults. The programs lasted for six months. The weights of the subjects were measured before and after the programs, and each subject’s weight loss was computed in pounds. The following table summarizes the results of the study, giving the number of observations and the sample mean and variance of the subjects’ weight loss in each program.…
According to the February 2008 Federal Trade Commission report on consumer fraud and identity theft, 23% of all complaints in 2007 were for identity theft. In that year, Alaska had 321 complaints of identity theft out of 1,432 consumer complaints ("Consumer fraud and," 2008). Does this data provide enough evidence to show that Alaska had a lower proportion of identity theft than 23%? Test at the 5% level.
Sociologists argued that women on average earn less than men as women often choose to work less hours. They further suggest that the choice of hours worked may be driven by various factors such as age, childcare needs, occupation choice and flexibility. To investigate the relation between hours worked and income earned by Australian men and women, a researcher plans to survey a sample of individuals across the country. First, the researcher categorised the data into six location groups and six occupation groups, and calculated the frequencies given below. Frequency tables Location Occupation Location category Frequency Occupation category Frequency Location group A 5 Occupation group 1 4 Location group B 7 Occupation group 2 26 Location group C 12 Occupation group 3 15 Location group D 25 Occupation group 4 12 Location group E 10…
Suppose researchers conduct an analysis addressing the relationship between cigarette smoking and lung cancer in a group of employees at a work site with high exposures to asbestos. The following 2x2 tables address the relationship between lung the exposure and outcomes. Lung Cancer No Lung Cancer Total Current Smoker 218 40 258 Non-Smoker 293 395 688 Total 511 435 946 A) Calculate the relative risk measure for lung cancer based on exposure status. B) The researchers have found a consistent error in their questionnaire that misclassified 25% of irregular smokers as nonsmokers in the non-diseased group only. Create a new 2x2 table and calculate another relative risk for the outcome. C) Describe the difference between your two relative risk measures calculated in parts A and B.
Consider that Roane county, which calculated that the average firm size (in terms of number of employees) is 150 with a median size of 50, while Anderson county calculated an average and median size of 230 and 255 respectively. Officials from both counties are asking their state legislatures for additional funds to accommodate their growing business size. Do you support their requests, why or why not? Also, are there any additional statistics you might ask for and why?
