Step 1 A major health study indicated that there's a birth month effect for schizophrenia. If a child is born during a certain month, he or she has a significantly higher chance of developing schizophrenia later in life, however, the chance of developing schizophrenia only increases by 1 in 10 million. Step 2 Based on what you know about t-tests, how can there be a significant difference for that particular month when there's such a small increase in the chances of developing schizophrenia?

Question 2 A clinical trial was conducted in which 29 participants were given a pig whipworm egg treatment every 3 weeks for 6 months.

The dose-response effect is best described as A. when similar studies produce similar results B. when all other possible causes are ruled out. C. when the value of the response variable changes in a meaningful way with the dosage of the suspected cause.
Question 2 There is a claim that drink driving has been very common in high ways. The Highway Police randomly caught 300 drivers for breath alcohol test and found that 14% of drivers have breath alcohol over the legal limit. At 4% level of significance, use the p-value approach to test the hypothesis that the percentage of drivers who are drink driving is more than 10%.
question (9): A researcher was interested in the effect of job security on stress.

Question 3 You are interested in determining the average age of students at the University. Come up with two questions (and the possible answers they would select, if applicable) in which: 1-Age would be classified as a categorical variable. 2-Age would be classified as a numerical variable Question 4 Knowing the value of determining the sample size prior to the start of a study, you use appropriate sample size formula and calculate the required sample…
Recent publications have addressed the growing concern in the scientific community around the increased prevalence of CAT scans in children between the ages of 7-18 and the growing rate of childhood cancers. Suppose the researcher plans to gather a SRS from a group of children in this age range who have received one or more CAT scans, and a SRS from a group of children who have never received a CAT scan and compare the number of cases of childhood cancers that develop over a prolonged period of time. Assume the following table summarizes the descriptive statistics for his samples. Population Average cases of childhood cancers Standard deviaton Sample size >CAT scan 24.6 2.4 1,894 No CAT scans 11.4 1.9 2,745 A) Carry out the appropriate statistical test to answer the researcher’s hypothesis regarding the difference in average cases of childhood cancers in children aged 7-18 receiving one or more CAT scans versus those that have never received a CAT scan. Use an alpha level…

A researcher is interested in hamster wheel-running activity during the summer versus the winter. She suspects that either the hamsters will run less during the winter to conserve energy or they will run more to keep warm. She records the activity of n = 25 hamsters during June, July, and August and compares their running-wheel revolutions per hour to the activity of the same hamsters during December, January, and February.The data are collected, and the results show an average difference score of MD = 5.4 and a sum of squares of SS = 1,142.64. What is the value for degrees of freedom for this repeated-measures t test? a) 25 b) 37 c) 24 d) 34 What is the sample standard deviation (s) for the D scores? a) 1.38 b) 1,142.64 c) 6.9 d) 47.61 What is the estimated standard error of the mean difference (sMD) for this study? a) 1.38 b) 1.17 c) 1.90 d) 0.28

QUESTION 10 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 6 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 statistically significantly decreased, what is the test statistic? (please round your answer to 2 decimal places)
