A food company has developed a high mineral sea salt (sodium). A nurse practitioner hypothesizes that getting more sodium from the new sea salt predicts an increase in blood pressure.

A sample of men and women who had passed their driver's test either the first time or the second time were surveyed, with the following results: Results of the driving testGender First time Second timeMen 126 211Women 135 178a) Do these data suggest that there is a relationship between gender and the passing of their driver’s test from which the present sample was drawn? Let alpha=.05
Researchers interested in lead exposure due to car exhaust sampled the blood of 52 police officers subjected to constant inhalation of automobile exhaust fumes while working traffic enforcement in a primarily urban environment. The blood samples of these officers had an average lead concentration of 124.32 µg/l and an SD of 37.74 µg/l; a previous study of individuals from a nearby suburb, with no history of exposure, found an average blood level concentration of 35 µg/l. Write down the hypotheses that would be appropriate for testing if the police officers appear to have been exposed to a higher concentration of lead. Explicitly state and check all conditions necessary for inference on these data. Test the hypothesis that the downtown police officers have a higher lead exposure than the group in the previous study. Interpret your results in context. Based on your preceding result, without performing a calculation, would a 99% confidence interval for the average blood concentration…
In general, changing the alpha level from .05 to .01 will… Select one: a. increase the likelihood of rejecting the Ho, and increase the risk of a Type I error b. decrease the likelihood of rejecting the Ho, and increase the risk of a Type I error c. increase the likelihood of rejecting the Ho, and decrease the risk of a Type II error d. decrease the likelihood of rejecting the Ho, and increase the risk of a Type II error
The NAEP considers that a national average of 283 is an acceptable performance. Using α = .05, run a two-tail t-test for one sample to test Ho: µ=283 for the 2019 scores. Report the t-obt, df, and p-values. Would you reject the null hypothesis that the 2019 scores come from a population with average 283? If this is the case, does it come from a population from larger or smaller average?
You obtain a t comp of .975 in a two sample independent t test with alpha at .05. Is it significant?
We tested to see if people who consumed caffeine had a lower average reaction time than those who didn’t consume caffeine at the alpha = 0.08 level. Assume we found a p-value of 0.5437. Which below would be an appropriate conclusion and interpretation? With an alpha of 0.08, and a p-value of 0.5437, we fail to reject the null and state we have insufficient evidence to support that the true average reaction time of caffeine consumers was less than that of non-caffeine consumers. With an alpha of 0.08, and a p-value of 0.5437, we reject the null and state we have sufficient evidence to support that the true average reaction time of caffeine consumers was less than that of non-caffeine consumers. With an alpha of 0.08, and a p-value of 0.5437, we fail to reject the null and state we have sufficient evidence to support that the true average reaction time of caffeine consumers was less than that of non-caffeine consumers.

An educational psychologist was interested in whether using a student’s own name in a story affected children’s attention span while reading. Six children were randomly assigned to read a story under ordinary conditions (using names like Dick and Jane). Six other children read versions of the same story, but with each child’s own name substituted for one of the children in the story. The researcher kept a careful measure of how long it took (in minutes) each child to read the story. The results are shown in Table 2. Using the 0.05 alpha level, does including the child’s name make any difference? Use all of the steps of hypothesis testing.
31% of all pygmy softshell tortoises have stripes on their shells. A herpetologist in Cititon collects a sample of 28 pygmy softshell tortoises and finds that 8 of them have stripes on their shells. Is there enough evidence to conclude, at a significance of alpha = 0.05, that the proportion of pygmy softshell tortoises in Cititon with stripes on their shells is less than 31%? What is the claim? What is the null hypothesis? What is the alternative hypothesis? What is the test statistic? What is/are the critical value(s)? Do we reject the null hypothesis? What conclusion do we draw? What is the P-value for the problem above?
