A substance abuse counselor wants to demonstrate the effect of situational stress on alcohol cravings. He recruits two groups of men who are similar in respect to history of alcohol use and demographic variables. He divides them in to two groups. In one group(n=11), the men are exposed to a stressful situation and then asked to complete a measure rating their alcohol cravings on a scale from 0-10, where 0 representsno cravings and 10 represents intense cravings. In the second group (n=10), the men are exposed to a neutral situation and asked to complete the same measure. What test  and graph should I create to find out if a stressful situation result in more intense alcohol cravings than a non-stressful situation?

Twenty years ago, 47% of parents of children in high school felt it was a serious problem that high school students were not being taught enough math and science. A recent survey found that 293 of 900 parents of children in high school felt it was a serious problem that high school students were not being taught enough math and science. Do parents feel differently today than they did twenty years ago? Use the a = 0.01 level of significance. ... Find the test statistic. Zn = (Round to two decimal places as needed.) %3D

It’s assumed that students need to stay awake more to study during finals week.  One way to measure this is how much coffee is consumed during Finals week at night.  A local coffee house near APU counted the number of cups of coffee sold per hour during Finals week after 6 p.m.  We randomly select ten (10) hours of sales records during Finals week and find out that the following number of cups of coffee were consumed: 18, 17, 22, 14, 17, 20, 22, 24, 15, 15 By comparison, the sales records from a previous week were used as a comparison.  The following number of cups of coffee were consumed over a seven (7) hour period: 9, 13, 5, 15, 17, 10, 11 a. Determine what is the appropriate statistical procedure, with a brief explanation (one sentence) as to why this is the appropriate procedure. b. State the null hypothesis. c. Execute the proper calculations with the appropriate procedures. d. Present a graph when appropriate of your results. e. Include any appropriate post-hoc tests. f. State…

Twenty years ago, 56% of parents of children in high school felt it was a serious problem that high school students were not being taught enough math and science. A recent survey found that 247 of 700 parents of children in high school felt it was a serious problem that high school students were not being taught enough math and science. Do parents feel differently today than they did twenty years ago? Use the a = 0.01 level of significance. 5% of the population size, and the sample can be reasonably assumed to be random, the requirements for testing the hypothesis Because npo (1-Po) = 172.5 > 10, the sample size is less than are satisfied. (Round to one decimal place as needed.) What are the null and alternative hypotheses? 0.56 versus H,: p # 0.56 Ho: (Type integers or decimals. Do not round.) %D Find the test statistic. Zo = (Round to two decimal places as needed.) %D

A Verizon researcher compared the number of text messages sent by a sample of teenage boys to the population mean for all Verizon users. She found no evidence to conclude that there was a difference.

A student pursuing a degree in English as a second language believes the proportion female factory workers who can't speak English is less than the proportion of male factory workers who can't speak English. To test her claim she randomly selects 313 female factory workers and out of them 48 could not speak English. She then randomly selects 400 male factory workers and out of them 43 could not speak English. Test her claim at a=0.05 to see if she was right. The correct hypotheses are: O Ho:PF Рм (сclaim) O Ho:PF 2 PM HA:PF < PM(claim) O Ho:PF = pM HA:PF + PM(claim) Since the level of significance is 0.10 the critical value is -1.282 The test statistic is: (round to 3 places) The p-value is: (round to 3 places) The decision can be made to: O reject Ho O do not reject Ho The final conclusion is that: O There is enough evidence to reject the claim that the proportion female factory workers who can't speak English is less than the proportion of male factory workers who can't speak…
