A researcher thinks he has developed a new technique to reduce proof-reading errors. Eleven volunteers from a publishing firm practice the technique for a week and then they are asked to proofread a 10-page document. Errors on this test were compared to their errors prior to practicing the new technique. Evaluate the results of her data using α = .051tail. **Attached Image** a. State the hypotheses b. Show how the t was calculated using the values from the SPSS printout. c. What is Cohen’s d?

Use the one-proportion plus-four z-interval procedure to find the required confidence interval. Interpret your results. Breast-Feeding. In a New York Times article “More Mothers Breast-Feed, in First Months at Least,” G. Harris reported that 77% of new mothers breast-feed their infants at least briefly, the highest rate seen in the United States in more than a decade. His report was based on data for 434 infants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, which involved in-person interviews and physical examinations. Find a 90% confidence interval for the percentage of all new mothers who breast-feed their infants at least briefly.

A researcher is interested in estimating the average amount of sleep obtained by first-year students at MacEwan University. The researcher obtains a random sample of 100 first-year students from MacEwan from which she obtains an average of 7.1 hours of sleep Suppose the researcher obtains a 95% confidence interval of (6.9, 7.3). What is the margin of error? Is it necessary for the population of interest to be normally distributed for the interval in (1) to be valid? Explain. Briefly explain why the interval estimate from (1) is superior to the point estimate
