Ackerman and Goldsmith (2011) report that students who study from a screen (phone, tablet, or computer) tended to have lower quiz scores than students who studied the same material from printed pages. To test this finding, a professor identifies a sample of n = 16 students who used the electronic version of the course textbook and determines that this sample had an average score of M = 72.5 on the final exam. During the previous three years, the final exam scores for the general population of students taking the course averaged μ =77with a standard deviation of σ = 8 and formed a roughly normal distribution. The professor would like to use the sample to determine whether students studying from an electronic screen had exam scores that are significantly different from those for the general population. 1. Using the standard four-step procedure, conduct a two-tailed hypothesis test with αto evaluate the effect of studying from an electronic screen.

Do well-rounded people get fewer colds? A study on the Chronicle of Higher Education was conducted by scientist at Carnegie Mellon University, the University of Pittsburgh and the University of Virginia. They found that people who have only a few social outlets get more colds than those who are involved in a variety of social activities. Suppose that of the 276 healthy men and women tested, n1=96 had only a few social outlets and n2=105 were busy with six or more activities. When these people were exposed to a cold virus, the following results were observed: Construct a 99% confidence interval for the difference in the two population proportions.
Suppose that in a study of 35 million HPV shots examined, the shots were followed in time by 14,000 serious ailments and 32 confirmed deaths. However, suppose in examining a randomly selected control group of 35 million non-vaccinated people of the same age at a particular time A, 0.0413% developed a serious ailment soon after time A, and 0.000089% died soon after time A. What does the comparison of two groups tell us? What are the percentages in the vaccinated group (serious ailments and confirmed deaths), and how to they compare to the nonvaccinated group? Hint: compute the percentages for serious ailments (14,000/35,000,000) and confirmed deaths (32/35,000,000) for the vaccinated group. Compare with the control group. Notice % above. (0,0413% and 0.000089%) Answer here. What can we conclude with high probability, if this comparison between vaccinated and non-vaccinated groups was done many times with the same basic results? Answer here. Can we absolutely rule out that the…
A study was performed on 200 elementary school students to investigate whether regular Vitamin A supplementation was effective in preventing colds during the month of March. 100 were randomized to receive daily Vitamin A supplements during the month of March, and 100 students were randomized to a placebo group (and did not receive Vitamin A) during the same month. The number of students getting at least one cold in March was computed in the two groups, and the results are given in the following 2 X 2 table. Using a 5% level of significance determine whether there is an association between Vitamin A supplementation and prevention of Common Cold ColdNo Cold Vitamin A1585100 Placebo2575100 40160200

Which New Jersey universities have students with higher GPAs? A researcher compares the GPA of 20 randomly selected students from each of the following 3 schools: Seton Hall, TCNJ, and Rowan. The mean GPAs were as follows: Seton Hall = 3.12, TCNJ = 3.39, Rowan = 2.90. (These are all made up, by the way.) SSwithin = 18.39 and SSbetween = 2.24. What can the researcher conclude at alpha .05?
the superintendent of a school district decided to collect data on the effectiveness of two methods of teaching reading: the whole word approach and phonics. She randomly assigned half of the elementary schools (n=10) to the whole world approach for teaching reading and half to phonics (n=10). The results are as follows: Whole world m= 77.3 ss= 336.1 Phonics m= 89 ss= 266 1. Use a two tailed test with alpha= .01 to determine whether these data are sufficient to conclude that there is a significant difference between using the whole word and the phonics approach to reading. 2. Compute cohen's d to measure the size of the effect. 3. Which method would you reccomend that the school district adopt for teaching reading and why?

The dataset TrafficFlow gives the delay time in seconds for 24 simulation runs in Dresden, Germany, comparing the current timed traffic light system on each run to a proposed flexible traffic light system in which lights communicate traffic flow information to neighboring lights. On average, public transportation was delayed 105 seconds under the timed system and 44 seconds under the flexible system. Since this is a matched pairs experiment, we are interested in the difference in times between the two methods for each of the n=24 simulations. For the differences D, we were given that seconds with seconds. We wish to estimate the average time savings for public transportation on this stretch of road if the city of Dresden moves to the new system.The standard error is 3.1 for one set of 10,000 bootstrap samples. Find a confidence interval for the average time savings.Round your answers to one decimal place.
Researchers investigated the possible beneficial effect on heart health of crinking black tea and whether adding mikk to the tea reduces any possible benefit Tiventy-four volunteers Were randomly assigned to one of three groups Every day for month; participants in group drank twvo cups ofhot black tea without mikk; participants in group drank two cups of hot black tea with milk; and participants in group drank twvo cups ofhot water but no tea At the end of the month the fesearchers measured the change in each of the participants heart health. Is it reasonable to zeneralize the study beyond the 24 participants? Explain why or why not.
