The director of an obesity clinic in a large northwestern city believes that drinking soft drinks contribute to obesity in children. To determine whether a relationship exists between these two variables, she conducts the following pilot study. Eight- 12-year-old male volunteers are randomly selected from children attending a local junior high school. Parents of the children are asked to monitor the number of soft drinks consumed by their child over a one week period. The children are weighed at the end of the week and their weights converted into body mass index (BMI) values. The BMI is a common index used to measure obesity and takes into account both height and weight. An individual is considered obese if they have a BMI value 30. The following data or collected: child. # of soft drinks consumed BMI 1 3 20 2 1 18 3…
A recent study claims that using music in a class enhances concentration and consequently helps students absorb more information. A researcherdecided to test this claim on a smaller group of randomly selected students from three different classes. Each classroom was provided with a different environment for students to study. Classroom A had constant music being played in the background, classroom B had variable music being played and classroom C was a regular class with no music playing. After one month, the researcher conducted a test for all the three groups and ranked their scores. What statistical test would be most appropriate for testing the research hypothesis? Explain your answer.

A researcher is interested in estimating the extent to which posting caloric labels on menus changes the number of calories consumed by patrons. To test the impact of posting caloric labels on menu items, the analyst created two menus for the same restaurant: One menu with caloric labels and one menu without. As soon as restaurant guests entered the restaurant, they were randomly assigned one of the two types of menus. For the sake of clarity, guests assigned the menu with caloric labels are referred to as “Group 1” or the “treatment group”. Likewise, guests assigned the menu without caloric labels are referred to as “Group 2” or the control group. The analyst then collected data detailing how many calories each guest consumed as well as recording the age of each guest. The variable Cal1 denotes the number of calories consumed by guests who were assigned to the treatment group 1, while the variable Cal2 denotes the number of calories consumed by guests who were assigned to the control…
