Identify the IV and the scale of measurement; Identify the DV and the scale of measurement and for the IV – identify the # of levels; Identify null and alternative hypotheses, are they directional or non-directional? A new diet pill is expected to increase the percentage of weight lost. Four groups of women are selected. Women in Group 1 (n = 10) are given 5 mg of the drug, those in Group 2 (n = 10) are given 10 mg of the drug, Group 3 (n = 10) gets 15 mg, and women in Group 4 (n = 10) are given a placebo (control). The women are asked to record the percentage of weight lost after taking the pill daily for 6 months.

I want to assess whether different types of movies increase viewers’ stress response. I recruit 24 individuals and randomly assign them into three groups: Frozen (a Disney kids movie), Nightmare on Elm Street (a horror movie), and Fast & Furious (an action movie). After each participant watches their assigned movie, I measure their heart rate. Test, at an alpha of 0.05, whether the type of movie affects heart rate. What is the null hypothesis? What is the alternative hypothesis?

andres asked if there is a relationship between the quality of sneakers worn by a sample of 20 volleyball players and their average number of point scored per game. he computed r= +.21 and immediately claimed he had evidence that better-quality sneakers are related to better performance (a) is his claim correct? why? (b) what are Ho and Ha? (c) with alpha=.05, what is rcrit ?
Under what circumstances is a t statistic used instead of a z-score for a hypothesis test? Justin wants to know whether a commonly prescribed drug does improve the attention span of students with attention deficit disorder (ADD). He knows that the mean attention span for students with ADD who are not taking the drug is 2.3 minutes long. His sample of 12 students taking the drug yielded a mean of 4.6 minutes. Justin can find no information regarding σx , so he calculated s2x =1.96. Determine the critical region using a one-tailed test with alpha = .05. Conduct the hypothesis test (Do the math and compare the t-critical and t-obtained values). State your conclusions in terms of H0 (Should you reject the H0 or fail to reject/accept the H0). Based on your analysis, is there a relationship between the drug and attention span?
A question of medical interest is whether jogging leads to a reduction in systolic blood pressure. To learn about this question, eight non-jogging volunteers have agreed to begin a 1-month jogging program. At the end of the month, their blood pressures were determined and compared with earlier values. The data are presented in the Table 1. a. The appropriate hypotheses are: H0 :μ1−μ2 =0 versus Ha :μ1−μ2 /= (does not equal) 0 H0 :μ1−μ2 =0 versus Ha :μ1−μ2 <0 H0 :μ1−μ2 =0 versus Ha :μ1−μ2 >0 b. The value of test statistic is 1. 0.577 2. −0.577 3. 0.237 4. -0.237 c. The p−value of test is 1. 0.816 2. 0.408 3. 0.582 4. 0.291 d. At the significance level calculated in part (c), we conclude that jogging i. Leads to reduction in systolic blood pressureii. Does not lead to reduction in systolic blood pressure
Arsenic-based additives in chicken feed have been banned by the European Union. Ifa restaurant chain finds significant evidence that the mean arsenic level of theirchickens is above 80 ppb (parts per billion), the chain will stop using that supplier ofchicken meat. The hypotheses are: H 0 : µ = 80H 1 : µ > 80 where µ represents the mean arsenic level in all chicken meat from that supplier.Samples from two different suppliers are analyzed, and the resulting p-values aregiven: Sample from Supplier A: p-value is 0.0003Sample from Supplier B: p-value is 0.3500 a) Interpret each p-value in terms of the probability of the results happening byrandom chance. b) Which p-value shows stronger evidence for the alternative hypothesis? c) Which supplier, A or B, should the chain get chickens from in order to avoid toohigh a level of arsenic?
There is a marketing researcher who wants to test the effectiveness of a new commercial by giving participants a survey asking their likelihood of buying a certain cleaning product where 1= not at all likely and 5= extremely likely. The participants will be given the questionnaire before and after watching a show that advertised the cleaning product during commercial breaks. We must Test the hypothesis that the commercial produced an effect on these scores using alpha = .05. list conclusions using variable names and calculate Cohen’s d, if applicable. Step 1: Ho: H1: Step 2: Critical region: Step 3: tobt = Step 4: Which one: fail to reject H0/reject H0 Did the commercial have a statistically significant effect? YES/NO What is the research design used? What is the appropriate statistical analysis?

For this study, we should use The null and alternative hypotheses would be: z-test for a population proportion or t-test for a population mean Ho: (p or u) (please enter a decimal) H1: (p or u) (Please enter a decimal) The test statistic z = (please show your answer to 3 decimal places.) The critical value = (Please show your answer to 3 decimal places.) The test statistic (is or is not) in the rejection region. Based on this, we should (reject or accept or fail to accept) the null hypothesis. Thus, the final conclusion is that ... The data suggest the population proportion is not significantly larger 50% at � = 0.05, so there is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion of voters who prefer the Democratic candidate is larger 50%.

Choices of answers: A: there is no evidence of an association between race and political party B: there is evidence of an association between race and political parties. C: WHite individuals are more likely to identify as Democrats than Black individuals D: Black individuals are more likely to identify as Democrats than White individual

For each of the following situations, identify whether the appropriate test is a paired t-test (for parameter µd) or a two-sample t-test (for parameter µ1 - µ2). Briefly explain your answer. Sixty students were matched by initial pulse rate, with the two with the highest pulse forming a pair, and so on. Within each pair, one student was randomly chosen to drink a caffeinated beverage, while the other one drank an equivalent amount of water. Their pulse rates were measured 10 minutes later, to test whether caffeine consumption elevates pulse rates. To determine whether lack of sleep increases appetite, researchers recruited 50 volunteers and randomly assigned 25 of them to sleep at least 8 hours a night and the other 25 to sleep at most 5 hours a night, for 3 days. Calorie intake was recorded for all 50 volunteers for the 3-day period.
