Sarah wants to know how gender impacts heart rate recovery after a maximal exercise test. In order to test this, she has both male and female athletes come into her lab and she measures both resting heart rate before the exercise test and heart rate immediately, 10 minutes, 20 minutes and 30 minutes following the exercise test. In order for her to determine whether heart rate differs pre-post exercise between males and females what statistical test might she use? Why?
For a sample of 400 correctional officers at Lucasville State Prison, a researcher believes there is a relationship between “years on the job” and “willingness to help raise money for adult charities.” Using the following data, test the null hypothesis at the .01 level of significance that willingness to help raise donations does not differ by length of service as a correctional officer. In so doing, identify: (1) the research and null hypothesis, (2) the critical value needed to reject the null, (3) the decision that you made upon analyzing the data, and (4) the conclusion you have drawn based on the decision you have made.

A nationwide study of undergraduate students reported that the mean number of drinks consumed per week during the spring semester is 7.96. The mean number of drinks consumed per week at USC is 7.64 (s.d.=2.55, N=412 Health services is concerned that USC students are consuming significantly more alcohol per week than the national average. Using an alpha level of .05, Is there sufficient evidence to be concerned? Be sure to select the correct critical value for the alternative hypothesis, and then use this evidence to make your conclusion
