An indigenous plant is used by natives to help those with anxiety. It is believed by natives to immediately reduce anxiety. A study was conducted to test the actual effects of this plant. Participants were given different amounts of the plant extract after being placed in a high anxiety situation. Anxiety scores were then measured. The higher the score, the more anxiety the participants were experiencing. Due to the lack of research surrounding this plant, researchers did not have formal hypotheses. Therefore, compare all 3 groups if the null hypothesis is rejected. Use alpha = .05.

Marshall is superstitious and suspects that people who take the GRE while wearing the same dirty socks that they wore when they got their best score on a practice test will do better than people who do not wear these “lucky” socks. In order to test that hypothesis among college students, he made 20 students wear their “lucky” socks and 20 not wear their lucky “socks” while taking the GRE test. Although he was convinced that people who wore their “lucky” socks would score higher than people who didn’t, he wanted to be able to test the possibility that they could score lower. Their scores are as follows: “Lucky” Non-“Lucky” Sock wearers Sock Wearers 108 105 107 107 112 110 113 109 105 105 100 114 120 98 *For this problem, you will be conducting a t…

The chief of security for the Mall of the Dakotas directed a study of theft. He selected a sample of 140 boxes that had been tampered with and ascertained that, for 75 of the boxes, the missing pants, shoes, and so on were attributed to shoplifting. For 45 boxes, employees had stolen the goods, and for the remaining 20 boxes he blamed poor inventory control. In his report to the mall management, can he say that shoplifting is twice as likely to be the cause of the loss as compared with either employee theft or poor inventory control and that employee theft and poor inventory control are equally likely? Use the 0.02 significance level. H0: The proportions are as stated. H1: The proportions are not as stated. a. State the decision rule using 0.02 significance level. (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.) b. Compute the value of chi-square. (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.) c. What is your decision regarding H0?
A young professor found out from a senior professor that psychology students in St. Alex University tend to do good in their Social Science subject, claiming that historically, the mean grade of psych students in the said course is 1.50. Curious if this claim was true, the young professor took a random sample of 9 students who took Social Science subject. Before collecting data, he was undecided about his own claim because he knew of some students who did really good in the course but has also encountered others who did poorly. He found that their mean grade for the course is 1.35 with a standard deviation of 0.50. Use the Test of Significance Approach in testing the young professor’s claim. a. Estimate μ at 90% confidence interval. b. Between z and t, which is more appropriate to use given the data? Why? c. What are the chances that your estimate of μ was wrong? Describe and explain a potential source of error to your estimate. d. Holding % of CI constant, what can you do to lower…
Is there a relationship between autism and what an infant is fed? To determine if there is, a researcher asked a random sample of mothers what they had fed their infant and they also recorded whether or not the child was autistic. Almost all brands of formula sold in the U.S. are now fortified with DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and ARA (arachidonic acid). The data are in the table below. Do the data provide enough evidence to show that that what an infant is fed and autism are dependent? Test at the 1% level and round expected values to one decimal place. what an infant is fed yes (Observed) yes (Expected Value) no (Observed) no (Expected Value) Row Total breastmilk 6 422 428 formula with DHA/ARA 7 1156 1163 formula without DHA/ARA 15 525 540 Column Total 28 2103 2131 H: HypothesesHo:Ho:Select an answer whether or not a child has autism infant infants yes and Select an answer what an infant is fed infant infants no are Select an answer independent…
