Question
An athletic trainer wants to see if a new treatment procedure for ankle sprains results in less ankle swelling than standard treatment 24 hours following the injury. Over several months, 30 athletes with ankle sprains are randomly assigned to receive either the standard care or new treatment procedure. Ankle swelling is measured using water displacement in both groups. Which t-test should be used to determine if one procedure resulted in more or less swelling than the other?

- The quality control engineer at Palmer Industries is interested in estimating the tensile strength of steel wire based on its outside diameter and the amount of molybdenum in the steel. As an experiment, she selected 25 pieces of wire, measured the outside diameters, and determined the molybdenum content. Then she measured the tensile strength of each piece. The results of the first four are recorded in the table. Tensile Strength Outside Diameter Amount of Molybdenum Place (PSI ) Y (mm) X1 (Units) X2 A 11 0.3 6 B 9 0.2 5 C 16 0.4 8 D 12 0.3 7 Using a statistical software package, the QC engineer determined the multiple regression equation to be Y’=-0.5+20X1+1X2. a) Based on the equation, what is the estimated tensile strength of a steel wire having an outside diameter of .35 mm and 6.4 units of molybdenum? b) Interpret the value of b1 in the equation.arrow_forwardA researcher was interested in how much longer the heart rate recovery time is for untrained college students compared to athletically trained college students. Eleven athletically untrained college students and nine athletically trained college students were put on a treadmill for fifteen minutes and then tested to see how many minutes it took for their heart rates to return to normal. The results of the study are shown below. Untrained: 8, 7, 7.2, 6.9, 7.8, 8.8, 8, 8, 8.8, 7.3, 8.6 Trained: 1.5, 1.5, 1.8, 2, 1.9, 2.3, 2.3, 2.4, 2.2 Assume both follow a Normal distribution.

Raredvds.biz is considering moving into the rental business after considerable success selling DVDs. To gauge their customer service, they are considering the case of the 1980 film The Monster Club featuring Vincent Price. Raredvds.biz expects to have one copy of the DVD. Based on data collected from customers, Raredvds.biz believes that the average time between orders for the film will be about 10 days with a coefficient of variation of one. Using customer data, the company also believes that including shipping time, both ways, the DVD will on average spend seven days in service, with a coefficient of variation of one. How long does a customer wait on average before being shipped the DVD?arrow_forward
- A researcher hypothesized that cytokinins and auxins supplied by tumor-inducing insects lead to the production of tumors in plants. She performed experiments in which she hypodermically injected green pepper plants to determine if she could induce tumors. In one experiment she varied the concentration of cytokinin and the ratio of auxin concentration to cytokinin concentration. She used 3 concentrations of cytokinin and 6 ratios of auxin/cytokinin. The concentrations are indexed (1-3) with 3 indicating the highest concentration of cytokinin. The 6 ratios of auxin/cytokinin varied from 0.125 to 5.0 with values greater than 1 indicating that auxin was in greater concentration than cytokinin. The resulting data are in the date file "auxcyt.csv". The measured sizes of the tumors induced (relative to controls) are given in the 3rd column ('sumdiffd'). Analyze these data testing the appropriate hypotheses and interpret the results. (Note the unequal sample sizes.) auxcyt data…arrow_forwardStudent Activity: Using MS Excel Directions: Study the following situation and do the task.
