A. The researcher is interested in assessing if there is a relationship between primary time spent at work and energy level for the population of all full-time employees. Will a Goodness of fit test or test of independence be performed by the researcher?B. If there is NO relationship between primary time spent at work and energy level for the population of all full-time employees, what is the mean of the test statistic?C. Does there appear to be a relationship between primary time spent at work and energy level for the population of all full-time employees? (Make sure to think about the reasoning behind your answer.) A survey of a random sample of 300 full-time employees was obtained to assess if there is an association between how they primarily spend their timeat work (mostly sitting, split sitting and standing, mostly standing) and their general energy level (low energy, moderate energy, high energy).MostlySitting49Split Sitting andStandingMostlyStanding10TotalLow Energy44103ModerateEnergyHigh Energy42513713017262467Total10812171300The data were entered into R and part of the output is provided.Pearson's Chi-squared testdata:employeesX-squared = 20.573, df = 4, p-value = 0.0003847

The article “The Effects of a Low-Fat, Plant-Based DietaryIntervention on Body Weight, Metabolism, and InsulinSensitivity in Postmenopausal Women” (Amer. J. of Med.,2005: 991–997) reported on the results of an experiment inwhich half of the individuals in a group of 64 postmenopausaloverweight women were randomly assigned to a particularvegan diet, and the other half received a diet based on NationalCholesterol Education Program guidelines. The sample meandecrease in body weight for those on the vegan diet was 5.8kg, and the sample SD was 3.2, whereas for those on the control diet, the sample mean weight loss and standard deviationwere 3.8 and 2.8, respectively. Does it appear the true averageweight loss for the vegan diet exceeds that for the control dietby more than 1 kg?

The accompanying data on food intake (in Kcal) for 15 men on the day following two nights of only 4 hours of sleep each night and for 15 men on the day following two nights of 8 hours of sleep each night is consistent with summary quantities in the paper "Short-Term Sleep Loss Decreases Physical Activity under Free-Living Conditions But Does Not Increase Food Intake under Time Deprived Laboratory Conditions in Healthy Men" (American Journal of Clinical Nutrition [2009]: 1476–1482). The men participating in this experiment were randomly assigned to one of the two sleep conditions. 4-hour sleep group: 3585 4470 3068 5338 2221 4791 4435 3099 3187 3901 3868 3869 4878 3632 4518 8-hour sleep group: 4965 3918 1987 4993 5220 3653 3510 3338 4100 5792 4547 3319 3336 4304 4057 Verify the assumption of approximate normality for each of the populations.

The London Schoolof Economics and the Harvard BusinessSchool conducted astudy of how Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) spend their day. The study found that CEOs spend on average about 18 hours per week in meetings, not including conference calls, business meals, and public events (The Wall Street Journal,February 14, 2012). Shown below is the time spent per week in meetings (hours) for a sample of 25 CEOs.14151823151920131523232115202116151818191922232112a.What is the least amount of time spent per week on meetings?

In 1992, the U.S. Public Health Service and the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention recommended that all women of childbearing age consume 400mg of folic acid daily to reduce the risk of having a pregnancy that is affected by a neural tube defect such as spina bifida or anencephaly. In a study by Stepanuk et al. (A-3), 693 pregnant women called a teratology information service about their use of folic acid supplementation. The researchers wished to determine if preconceptional use of folic acid and race are independent.

Baum and Gatchel (1981, Cognitive determinants of reaction to uncontrollable events: Development of reactance andlearned helplessness. Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 40, 1078-1089) found that students living in longcorridordorms (housing 30 to 40 residents per corridor) had greater feelings of helplessness than those living in shortcorridordorms (housing less than 20 residents per corridor). A resident director at GSU wished to test this finding tolearn whether corridor length impacted students' sense of alienation. She randomly assigned 20 students to live in aresidence hall, with 10 students in long and 10 students in short corridors for the year. At the end of the year, each2/16/21 3student completed a measure of alienation. Below are her data—does corridor length affect feelings of alienation? Use an independent samples t-test to analyze these data. Corridor LengthAlienation Scores From 20 Different StudentsLong =19,15,14,15,15,9,16,15,17,13Short =11,…
A paper in the Journal of Nervous and Mental Disorders reported the following data on the amount of dextroamphetamine excreted by a sample of children having organically related disorders and a sample of children with nonorganic disorders (dextroamphetamine is a drug commonly used to treat hyperkinetic children). Organic: 17.53, 20.60, 17.62, 28.93, 27.10 Nonorganic: 15.59, 14.76, 13.32, 12.45, 12.79 (Observations refer to percentage of recovery of the drug seven hours after its administration.) If we assume that the variances of the two groups of children are unequal, determine whether the true average percentages of recovery for the two conditions are equal at significance level 0.01
Subjects with pre‑existing cardiovascular symptoms who were receiving subitramine, an appetite suppressant, were found to be at increased risk of cardiovascular events while taking the drug. The study included 97139713overweight or obese subjects with preexisting cardiovascular disease and/ or type 22diabetes. The subjects were randomly assigned to subitramine (49974997subjects) or a placebo (47164716subjects) in a double‑blind fashion. The primary outcome measured was the occurrence of any of the following events: nonfatal myocardial infarction or stroke, resuscitation after cardiac arrest, or cardiovascular death. The primary outcome was observed in 581581subjects in the subitramine group and 474474subjects in the placebo group.Do the data give good reason to think that there is a difference between the proportions of treatment and placebo subjects who experienced the primary outcome?(a) State hypotheses, find the test statistic and use either software or the bottom row of Table A…
Chocolate contains caffeine and an endogenous cannabinoid, as well as a chemical thatmodulates serotonin production; but is it an aphrodisiac, as the Mayans and Aztecs believed?Suppose you conduct a study which measures sex drive in a group of 20 women, after eating 8ounces of chocolate. Given that you have available data from the Kinsey Institute (IndianaUniversity) about the general sex drive for women of the same demographic as in your study, youdecide to compare your group to this population estimate.If testing hypotheses about the effects of chocolate on sex drive, it would be most appropriate tocalculate a ...1)Paired sampled t2)Z-test3)Independent-samples t-test 4)One- sample t-test
A clinical psychologist is interested in comparing the effectiveness of short term relaxation and cognitive-behavioral therapy in treating mild depression. An experiment is conducted in which 15 patients with mild depression are randomly selected and assigned 5 each to a relaxation therapy group, a cognitive/behavioral therapy group, and an attention placebo group. Therapy is administered until the patient is judged no longer depressed or until 10 treatment sessions have elapsed. The following data is obtained. Scores are the number of sessions for each patient. Cognitive/Behavioral Therapy Relaxation Therapy Attention-PlaceboGroup 56647 68 797 5 8 9 7 6 Using a = 0.05, Fcrit = _________.

The drug X is marketed to help protect against male pattern baldness, and it also may protect against prostate cancer. A large sampleof healthy men over age 60 were randomly assigned to receive either a daily drug X pill or a placebo. The study lasted nine years and the men had annual check-ups and a biopsy at the end of the study. Prostate cancer was found in 815 of 4368 men taking drug X and in 1176 of the 4698 men taking a placebo. What kind of a study is this and what mesure of assocation (rd, rr, or) can be used and why?
