Parents are frequently concerned when their child seems slow to begin walking (although when the child finally walks, the resulting havoc sometimes has the parents wishing they could turn back the clock!). An article on this topic reported on an experiment in which the effects of several different treatments on the age at which a child first walks were compared. Children in the first group were given special walking exercises for 12 minutes per day beginning at age 1 week and lasting 7 weeks. The second group of children received daily exercises but not the walking exercises administered to the first group. The third and fourth groups were control groups. They received no special treatment and differed only in that the third group's progress was checked weekly, whereas the fourth group's progress was checked just once at the end of the study. Observations on age (in months) when the children first walked are shown in the accompanying table. Age Total Treatment 1 9.00 9.50 9.75 6 61.50 10.00 13.75 9.50 Treatment 2 11.00 10.00 10.00 6 68.25 11.75 10.50 15.00 Treatment 3 11.50 12.75 9.00 6. 71.00 11.50 13.25 13.00 Treatment 4 13.25 11.50 12.00 61.75 13.50 11.50

Question 4 A country club wants to exam the effects of a new marketing campaign that attempts to get more people within the community to become members. In many communities, when people buy a house in the area, they receive a “Welcome Wagon” gift basket containing coupons to local restaurants. The idea of the marketing campaign is to include a free two month membership to the country club in the gift basket with the hope that once “new” residents try the country club then at least a certain proportion will want to become real members. One member of the Club’s Executive Council believes that at least 25% of the people who receive the coupons for the free membership will use the coupon. When testing the hypothesis that at least 25% of the people who receive the coupons for the free membership will use the coupon, what is the null and alternative hypothesis?

QUESTION 5 A country club wants to exam the effects of a new marketing campaign that attempts to get more people within the community to become members. In many communities, when people buy a house in the area, they receive a “Welcome Wagon” gift basket containing coupons to local restaurants. The idea of the marketing campaign is to include a free two month membership to the country club in the gift basket with the hope that once “new” residents try the country club then at least a certain proportion will want to become real members. One member of the Club’s Executive Council believes that at least 80% of the people who receive the coupons for the free membership will use the coupon. In a sample of 197 new residents who received the coupon for the two month free membership, there were 136 people who actually took advantage of the free two month membership. When testing the hypothesis that at least 80% of the people that receive the coupon actually use it, what is the test statistic?…
A researcher wishes to study the relationship between education and income separately for individuals who have college degrees, and for those who don't. To this end, he interviews 100 individuals in each category. Survey results are listed in the table below. non college graduates college graduates avg education 13 yr 18 yr std. dev. education 2 yr 1.2 yr Sxx 396 yr2 143 yr2 Avg. Income $67,200 $84,950 std. dev. income $9,400 $10,500 correlation coefficient .25 .15 a. Use the data above to find point estimates for regression coefficients B0NG and B1NG for non-college graduates and BoG and B1G for college graduates. b. Propose an unbiased estimator for the difference theta=B1G - B1NG in slope coefficients for the two sub-populations, and show that B(theta hat)= 0. c. Assume that the error terms ENG and EG for non-graduates and graduates, respectively, are both distributed normally, with known standard deviation oENG = oEG = $ 10,000. In that case, determine the…
Consider the following scenarios.I. A group of musicians count how many times they cansnap their fingers in 10 seconds with their dominanthands and with their nondominant hands. They willtest to see if musicians can snap faster with dominanthands than nondominant hands.II. A group of musicians is trying to measure theeffectiveness of practice time. Half of them practicea difficult piece of music for one hour each day whilethe other half practice two hours each day. After aweek, each musician plays the piece as a judge countsthe number of errors. They will test to see if morepractice results in fewer errors.Which are the proper choices for the hypothesis tests?A) Both scenarios require a 2-sample t-test.B) Both scenarios require a matched pairs t-test.C) Scenario I calls for a 2-sample t-test, and Scenario IIcalls for a matched pairs t-test.D) Scenario I calls for a matched pairs t-test, andScenario II calls for a 2-sample t-test.E) The proper tests cannot be determined until we seethe…
