- The sample data here is the cholesterol levels for 10 men diagnosed with high cholesterol. The first row represents levels from 10 men who did not use the drug and the second row from 10 different men who did use the drug. If we want to test the claim that the mean level for all men who use the drug is less than the mean for all men who do not use it, what is the appropriate alternative hypothesis? The mean cholesterol level of males who take the medicine is higher than the mean cholesterol levels of men who do not take it. There is a significant difference between males who use the medicine and men who do not use the drug in terms of mean cholesterol levels. The mean cholesterol level of males who take the medicine is lower than the mean cholesterol levels of men who do not take it. There is no significant difference between males who use the medicine and men who do not use the drug in terms of mean cholesterol levels.arrow_forwardThank you in advance :)arrow_forwardYou wish to determine if there is a linear correlation between the age of a driver and the number of driver deaths.

- Warren wants to know if the amount of coffee that you drink is related to the number of hours that you stay awake. He recruits 50 participants using random sampling to report how much coffee they drank and the time of the day that they went to sleep. He then performs a correlation to determine the association between the amount of coffee that was consumed and the number of hours that they stayed awake. There was a statistically significant positive correlation between amount of coffee that participants drank and the number of hours that they stayed awake, r(49) = .82, p < .05, two-tailed, r2 = .08. This was a small effect – 8% of the variance in the amount of coffee drank is explained by hours that you stay awake (and vice versa).arrow_forwardA medical doctor is interested in determining whether mean body temperatures are different in the morning and at night. Five patients were recruited and their body temperatures were measured first at 8 AM and then again at 10 PM. The data is in the following table: Patient 1 2 4 Morning Night 98.0 97.6 97.2 97.0 98.0 97.0 98.8 97.6 97.7 98.8 For this matched pairs experiment, you should take the differences by calculating: Morning - Night. Also, you may use the fact that the sample standard deviation of 44/V5 the differences is 0.844 and that 0.844 0.3774. What is the test statistic for the test?
