da Silva-Castiglioni et al. (2010) investigated the effect of various diets on the biochemical composition of Hyalella bonariensis. In one part of the analysis, males of the species were subjected to 5 different diets for 45 days, then researchers measured the levels of lipoperoxidation. The researchers carried out a one-way ANOVA, and found a p-value of 0.00022. After that, they decided to apply the Tukey procedure to find confidence intervals for the pairwise differences in means at a family-wise confidence level of 95%. The results of the Tukey procedure are given below. ("lower" is the lower bound of the interval, "upper" is the upper bound.)

Tardigrades, or water bears, are a type of micro-animal famous for their resilience. In examining the effects of radiation on organisms, an expert claimed that the amount of gamma radiation needed to sterilize a colony of tardigrades no longer has a mean of 900 Gy (grays). (For comparison, humans cannot withstand more than 10 Gy .) A study was conducted on a sample of 27 randomly selected tardigrade colonies, finding that the amount of gamma radiation needed to sterilize a colony had a sample mean of 907 Gy , with a sample standard deviation of 17 Gy . Assume that the population of amounts of gamma radiation needed to sterilize a colony of tardigrades is approximately normally distributed. Complete the parts below to perform a hypothesis test to see if there is enough evidence, at the 0.05 level of significance, to support the claim that μ , the mean amount of gamma radiation needed to sterilize a colony of tardigrades, is not equal to 900…

Rosner analyzed data from children who lived near a lead smelter (which is a facility that uses extreme heat to extract the metal lead from lead ore) in El Paso, Texas, and reported that out of 124 children studied, 23 developed colic (which is a pattern of fussiness and crying for no apparent reason). Suppose that in the state of Taxes in general at the time (early 1980s), the rate of colic in children was 16.0%. Follow the steps for testing whether the proportion of children developing clico was significantly different for the 124 children living near the lead smelter than for Taxes children in general (16%). Use alpha level of 0.03 a. Identify the null hypothesis for this statistical test. b. Identify the alternative hypotheses for this statistical test. c. Explain: Why should this be a two-tailed test, the way I have described it? d. calculate the sample proportion p̂, rounded to three decimal places. e. Calculate the appropriate test statistic, show all work. f. Based on…
In a 2 × 3 between-subjects ANOVA with dfWithin = 17 and alpha set at .05, what is q if one is looking to determine the value of Tukey's HSD for an interaction effect?
In a study of the potential role of drug therapy in the treatment of bladder instability in older adults, 136 incontinent older adults received an experimental therapeutic, and 124 received a placebo treatment. Of the “experimental” participants, 128 saw a satisfactory resolution to their incontinence, compared with only 110 of the patients receiving a placebo. You are interested in determining whether or not there is a statistically significant difference between groups (alpha = 0.05).What is the obtained value of your statistic? Take your answer to two decimal places. (Answer = 2.55)How many degrees of freedom do you have in your analysis? (1)To what critical value would you compare your observed value of chi-square? Express your answer to four decimal places. (3.8415) Need an explanation of these answers. Thanks.
Historically, the proportion of people who trade in their old car to a car dealer when purchasing a new car is 48%. Over the previous six months, in a sample of 115 new car buyers, 46 have traded in their old car. To determine (at the 10% level of significance) whether the proportion of new car buyers that trade in their old car has this is statistically significantly decreased, what can you conclude concerning the null hypothesis? A) reject the null hypothesis Or B) fail to reject the null hypothesis
A random sample of 50 suspension helmets used by motorcycle riders and automobile race-car drivers was subjected to an impact test, and on 18 of these helmets some damage was observed.
a smaller p-value means there is lesser evidence in favor of the alterative hypothesis? True or False?
A research on the effect of duodenal infusion of donor feces for recurrent Clostridium difficile examined patients with C. difficile infections which cause persistent diarrhea. Some patients were given the antibiotic vancomycin, while others were given a fecal transplant. At alpha = 0.01, test if the result is dependent on the type of treatment given.

Over the previous six months, in a sample of 115 new car buyers, 46 have traded in their old car. To determine whether the proportion of new car buyers that trade in their old car has this is sickly significantly decreased, what is the null and alternative hypothesis?
It is believed that a sweetener called xylitol helps prevent ear infections. In a randomized experiment, 165 children took a placebo and 68 of them got ear infections. Another sample of 159 children took xylitol and 46 of them got ear infections. The scientists believe that the proportion of ear infections in the placebo group will be greater than the xylitol group. Test this hypothesis at α = 0.025.
Noting the paucity of information on the effect of estrogen on platelet membrane fatty acid composition, Ranganath et al. (A-48) conducted a study to examine the possibility that changes may be present in postmenopausal women and that these may be reversible with estrogen treatment. The 31 women recruited for the study had not menstruated for at least 3 months or had symptoms of the menopause. No woman was on any form of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) at the time she was recruited. Table 5 shows the platelet membrane linoleic acid values before and after a period of HRT. Does the data follow normal distribution?
