A sample of students attending a large university has been selected. Is there a statistically significant difference (with α = .01) between Liberal Arts majors and other students on average number of books (other than those required by course work) read per year?

The following data are from a two-factor study examining the effects of two treatment conditions on males and females. **Attached you will find the chart that goes with the question** A) Use an ANOVA with alpha = 0.05 for all tests to evaluate the significance of the main effects and the interaction. B) Compute n2 to measure the size of the effect for each main effect and the interaction.

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 a 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. 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 level of police officers contain 35 µg/l? Based on your preceding result, without performing a calculation, would a 99% confidence interval for this difference contain 0? Explain why or why not.
The appearance of leaf pigment glands in the seedling stage of cotton plants is genetically controlled. According to one theory of the control mechanism, the population ratio of glandular to glandless plants resulting from a certain cross should be 11.5, according to another it should be 13:3. In one experiment, the cross produced 89 glandular and 36 glandless plants. Use goodness-of-fit tests (at alpha= 0.10) to determine whether the data is consistent with a) the 11:5 theory, ar b) the 13:3 theory.

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…
A researcher has developed a new drug designed to reduce blood pressure. In an experiment, 22 subjects were assigned randomly to the treatment group and received the new experimental drug. The other 24 subjects were assigned to the control group and received a standard, well-known treatment. After a suitable period, the reduction in blood pressure for each subject was recorded. A summary of these data is: nn x¯x¯ ss Treatment group (new drug) 22 23.48 8.01 Control group (old drug) 24 18.52 7.15 Without using software, how would you estimate the number of degrees of freedom for this problem?

A nationwide study of undergraduate students reported that the mean number of drinks consumed per week during the spring semester is 7.96. The mean number of drinks consumed per week at USC is 7.64 (s.d.=2.55, N=412 Health services is concerned that USC students are consuming significantly more alcohol per week than the national average. Using an alpha level of .05, Is there sufficient evidence to be concerned? Be sure to select the correct critical value for the alternative hypothesis, and then use this evidence to make your conclusion

How many hours of sleep do people get by listening to music? I record 10 subjects’ hours of sleep after they listen to 4 types of music: White noise, Rock, Pop, and Classical. For each music condition, they provide an average amount of hours of sleep they got for 1 week. Using the following data, test whether there is a significant difference in hours of sleep between types of music at an alpha of 0.01.
